Patent EP-0263962-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KNOWLES VERNON L
IPC: G11B21/10
Filed: 1987-09-04
Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing seek and track follow operations in a disc drive provides time varying acceleration and position reference signals which have the same time duration and which are developed as a function of seek length. These signal are successively simultaneously sampled at the same points in time. The sampled acceleration and position reference signals from the same points in time are simultaneously applied as a feed forward signal and a position reference signal, respective­ly, in the disc drive to position a magnetic head at a selected track. During a seek operation, each actual track position signal and subtrack position signal from the trans­ducer is compared with an existing sampled position reference signal. At the end of the seek movement, track following continues under the control of the subtrack signals.

Abstract: The device consists of a support frame with an essentially upright rear wall (3), formed from several guide rails (6) lying one above the other and extending horizontally, and a multiplicity of support arms (7) which can be hooked by means of slide shoes (8) into the guide rails (6) at any desired point and have shelves (15, 16) for packages on both sides of a web (14) projecting vertically from the rear wall (3) in the hooked-in position. The shelves can be placed between the webs (14) of two support arms (7) in each case. The device has the advantage that, instead of fixed decks, individual support arms are provided, on which the packages rest with their bottom corners only. Due to the multiplicity of the hooking-in possibilities for support arms, the device can receive packages of different shapes and sizes on top of one another and next to one another in a freely selectable, space-saving arrangement, the packages being secured against lateral slipping. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a firing installation with a furnace (1) and a boiler (2), ammonia NH3 is admixed to the flue gas stream, whereby the nitrogen oxides are reduced in a reaction chamber (5) with catalysts. In a flue gas wet-scrubbing unit (7) downstream of the reaction chamber (5), the unreacted ammonia is dissolved in the scrubbing water. The latter is passed through a connection line (8) into a stripping column (9), where the ammonia is stripped from the scrubbing water and mixed with introduced air. This air enriched with ammonia NH3 is passed as combustion air into the furnace (1). As a result, the nitrogen oxide reduction can be operated with a large ammonia excess, so that a degree of nitrogen oxide separation of any desired high level can be achieved. In addition, the ammonia stripped out in the stripping column (9) is passed to the combustion, where it reacts with the NOx present, whereby the ammonia consumption is substantially reduced. This can also be achieved in combination with the SNCR process. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A rotary valve assembly and a method of assembling such a valve has a sleeve 5 and a rotor 3 relative rotation between which from a neutral condition adjusts the valve. The sleeve and rotor are biased to the neutral condition by an encircling C-spring reacting on pins corresponding to projections lla and l2 relatively rotatable with the sleeve 5 and rotor 3 respectively. For setting-up the valve in its neutral condition the sleeve and rotor are mounted in a jig l5 with the projection lla of the jig engaging in a recess 27 of an adjustable component in the form of a second C-spring 24 which is initially rotatable on the sleeve 5. The sleeve 5 is rotated relative to the spring 24 and projections lla and l2 to determine the neutral condition by the characteristics of fluid applied through valve ports E, S, P₁, P₂. The spring 24 is now welded or otherwise secured to the sleeve 5. The spring 24 serves to frictionally engage the sleeve and alleviates displacement relative thereto following adjustment of the valve to the neutral condition and prior to welding. In a second embodiment the projection lla directly engages the sleeve 5 to restrain relative rotation therebetween and the pin l2 is carried by a C-spring to be rotationally adjustable on the rotor 3 for the purpose of setting-up the valve in its neutral condition prior to the pin l2 being welded to the rotor 3.

Abstract: A hand-held device (10) for controlling cursor movement on a data terminal (16) having a display (18). An internal orientation sensor (25) provides an electrical signal that is related to the orientation of the device without it being adjacent to any fixed surface. The orientation sensor includes a hollow spherical housing (38) having at least one LED (68, 70) and one phototransistor (72,74) mounted opposingly in the inner wall (74), along an axis (80) extending through the center point of the housing (38). The housing (38) is half-filled with a transparent liquid (76) having a specified viscosity and index of refraction and half-filled with air (78). A light beam emitted from the LED is refracted upon passing through the boundary between the air (78) and the liquid (76). As the orientation sensor rotates with respect to the vertical axis (76), the changing refraction angle of the light beam causes the phototransistor (72, 74) to detect changing intensities of light, which are representative of the angle of rotation.
