Abstract: For certain high-speed applications, where high-precision is not required analog-to-digital conversion may be performed by employing several comparators, each having their own offset. Each such comparator with an offset may be constructed by employing a differential amplifier with an offset followed by a conventional comparator. Advantageously, the time to obtain a conversion to digital of an analog sample is reduced in comparison to prior art converters, thus enabling high-speed operation.

Abstract: A structure for supporting a hydraulic cylinder that controls pivoting of a rear axle in a forklift.  The rear axle is supported pivotally to the body.  The hydraulic cylinder connects the rear axle to the body.  Two hydraulic oil chambers are defined in the hydraulic cylinder. Movement of hydraulic oil between the oil chambers is selectively permitted and prohibited to selectively permit and prohibit pivoting of the rear axle.  The body includes a pair of side frame members located on the sides of the body and a pair of cross frame members connected to the side frame members.  The rear axle is located under the cross frame members.  One end of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally connected to the cross frame members by an upper joint.  An upper pin, which is part of the upper joint, is directly supported by the cross frame members.  Accordingly, an exclusive bracket for coupling the hydraulic cylinder to the body is not necessary.  This simplifies the structure for coupling the hydraulic cylinder to the body.   -18-

Abstract: In a method of charging metal carriers which contain a portion of fines and are at least partially reduced to a melter gasifier in which a melt-down gasifying zone formed by a bed is maintained, the metal carriers and carbon carriers are fed into the melter gasifier above the level of the melt-down gasifying zone. The metal carriers descend to the melt-down gasifying zone and travel through the same forming a metal melt and producing a reducing gas by coal gasification. In order to prevent a partial discharge from the melter gasifier of the metal carriers, in particular of the fine particles thereof, when charging the same, feeding of the metal carriers into the interior of the melter gasifier is effected at a vertical distance below a dome terminating the melter gasifier toward the top, gravitationally and under the formation of a strand, and the strand is surrounded by a gas jacket enclosing and accompanying the freely falling strand from its level of origin onwards over a section of the fall, and in this section the strand is supported against expansion by the gas jacket.

Abstract: A dental appliance or apparatus for grinding the teeth of equine patients includes a variable speed motor and an elongated tube leading from the motor to a head member that mounts an annular disk-shaped grinding wheel that has a planar grinding surface thereon. The head member also mounts a cup-shaped guard member that has a skirt portion extending beyond the grinding surface of the grinding wheel so as to protect the tongue and mucosa of the patient during the grinding operation. The elongated tube permits the grinding wheel to be inserted into the horse's mouth to bring it into close proximity to teeth needing to be ground and the grinding wheel can be easily oriented relative to the teeth to be ground since it can be rotated through several angles relative to the motor to reach both upper and lower sets of teeth. A drive shaft couples the grinding wheel to the motor, is contained within the elongated tube, and is connected to the motor through a clutch assembly. Should the horse bite down on the grinding wheel and stop its rotation the clutch will prevent the motor from stalling or from twisting in the operator's hand. A water cooling accessory can be provided to spray cooling water directly at the grinding surface. By using this apparatus a more effective grinding operation can be performed and there is less danger of damage to the inner walls of the horse's mouth or to its tongue than with conventional grinding or filing techniques.
