Abstract: A monitoring device which switches the power on and off as a function of an attenuation measurement in a half-bridge tuned circuit which contains the induction coil (30), is provided for an induction hot plate heater. An oscillation whose amplitude is used to determine limits for the decay of the oscillation is produced at time intervals of, for example, approximately two seconds, by activating an arm (55, 56) of the half-bridge tuned circuit (53). These limits are thereafter compared with a measurement of the amplitudes of successive oscillations, without any significant energy being supplied to the tuned circuit, and the switching-on is carried out as a function thereof. Disconnection when the cooking pot is removed is carried out on the basis of a maximum-current measurement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A grinding head unit is constituted by a grinding wheel (20), a drive device (22) for rotating the grinding wheel (20), and a movement device (23) for moving the grinding wheel. When vibration of a mill roll (1a) is applied to the grinding wheel (20), a plain wheel (52) integral with an abrasive layer of the grinding wheel (20) and having an elastically deforming function is deflected to absorb the vibration energy. The contact force between the abrasive layer and the mill roll (1a) is measured for determining a profile of the mill roll. The mill roll (1a) can be thereby ground into a target profile while absorbing the vibration transmitted from the mill roll and measuring the profile of the mill roll, without causing any chattering marks.

Abstract: A fully exchangeable low-profile dual-lumen perfusion balloon catheter (10) for dilatation angioplasty procedures includes a flexible small diameter guide wire (12) in a perfusion lumen (62) of the catheter and is provided with an internal guide wire sheath member (30) traversing the dilatation balloon (94) and allowing full perfusion blood flow via this lumen (62) when the guide wire (12) and sheath member (30) are retracted. When the guide wire and sheath (30) together are advanced from their retracted positions, the sheath member (30) positively prevents escape of the guide wire distal end (24) from the catheter lumen (62) via the perfusion ports (108, 110) thereof. Another embodiment of the invention includes a guide wire sheath member (30') with a smaller size pilot dilatation balloon (132) and a valving structure (144) responsive to axial relative movement of the guide wire (12') to allow inflation of this pilot balloon (132) in response to communication of pressurized fluid to the guide wire sheath member (30') at a proximal end thereof. Still another alternative embodiment of the inventive catheter includes a guide wire and guide wire sheath member (30') which are in one operative relationship axially relatively movable and telescopically received one within the other. In another operative relationship of the guide wire and guide wire sheath member, (30') the two are axially aligned and coupled at adjacent ends to provide an extended guide structure allowing removal of the balloon catheter and retracing of the vascular path to the area of treatment. Another alternative embodiment of the inventive catheter is configured with a mono-rail distal guide portion.

Abstract: A paint circulation system for supplying paint to a plurality of distributors utilizing a circulating pump to circulate paint to the distributors and an injection pump operated by a closely controlled electric motor capable of sensing pump characteristics injects paint into the circulation network from a paint supply reservoir to maintain a predetermined pressure within the circulation network. A "leakage" passage having a predetermined restriction permits paint to leave the circulation network when the valved paint distributors are closed, and the use of an automatic timing valve within the leakage bypass permits flow rates within the circulation network to be varied. The components permit paint viscosity and volumes to be determined, settling of the paint particles within the circulation network and degradation of the circulating paint is minimized, and circulating motor wear may be determined. Further, the invention contemplates producing an oscillating flow within dead-end drops in a paint circulation system to prevent settling in inactive conduits.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for registration of color images on a photoreceptor belt (14). Registration is accomplished by forming, in one embodiment, chevron-shaped registration marks (10,12) in non-image areas of the belt (14). A Raster Output Scanner (ROS) sweeps an output beam across the belt's surface. The beam is modulated in accordance with input video data to form successive color images. An unmodulated beam is also swept across the registration marks, each mark being successively swept by a plurality of beams. With each crossing of the legs of the chevron (10,12), two signals are generated by an associated sensor and stored in an averaging and extrapolation circuit. The multiple signals are compared and detection of the intersection is calculated by an extrapolation method. The averaging circuitry generates a registration signal which is used to enable an accurate start of page signal, to correct for skew and to adlust for errors and line-to-line spacing between lines in a color image frame (24).
