Title: Method for automatic control of the voltage of an electrostatic filter at the breakdown limit
Inventor: SCHMIDT W
IPC: B03C3/68
Filed: 1980-12-10
Abstract: A method for controlling the voltage of an electrostatic filter at the breakdown limit in which, when a breakdown occurs, the voltage is reduced by an amount which is determined by the breakdown voltage and the prior history of the breakdown and the waiting time to the next increase of the filter voltage is made dependent on the ratio of the voltages at successive breakdowns by comparing voltage amplitudes which immediately precede the breakdowns.

Title: Method and apparatus for decurling web material
Inventor: GOETZ WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: B65H23/24
Filed: 1982-04-16
Abstract: In a steam decurling method and apparatus in which a web is passed through a steam treatment station and one surface of the web is subjected to a steam shower, improved decurling is achieved by maintaining a substantially constant distance between the web and the source of the steam shower by directing a gas flow obliquely towards the web from a gas source disposed adjacent the opposite surface of the web from the steam shower, in a manner such that the gas flow is substantially parallel to the web after the gas flow has impinged on the web. The gas source is preferably an air foil assembly. The web may be of coated or uncoated paper.
Patent ZA-831056-B (ZA)
Title: Dot matrix printing apparatus
Inventor: FLEEK ARTHUR EDWIN
IPC: B41J9/44
Filed: 1983-02-16
Abstract: A variable speed printing (VSP) adaptor for a dot matrix printer includes a monitoring counter (40) which is preset with a number equal to the number of column scans with a dot print line and has a plurality of devices each capable of assuming one of two states, to monitor the state of the pattern data to be printed. The pattern data to be printed is scanned in a forward direction, i.e in the normal printing direction starting at the first print position and the count in the counter is decremented one count for each column data scanned. During the time interval between when this data is latched and the actual hammer actuation, the pattern data is scanned in the backward direction starting at the last print position. Each time the column data for a backward scan is zero, i.e. no dot to be printed, prior to sensing a non-zero column, the count in the counter is decremented one count. The printing operation continues in the interleaved forward/ backward scans until the count in the counter reaches a reference level such as zero. Upon sensing this reference level in the counter, a control signal is generated which indicates that the printing of the dot row is complete and initiates movement of the paper to the next dot row position.

Title: Gravity reducing machine
Inventor: TATHAM PAUL RICHARD GRINDLE
IPC: H02N15/02
Filed: 2005-08-26
Granted: 2007-10-31
Abstract: A machine for creating a levitating force on an object 7 comprises a thermally insulated compartment (1), cooled to a low temperature located under the object 7 to be lifted, said compartment containing a coil 3 that may be a horizontal disk-shape, or any other shape arranged at an angle from the vertical such that dc current applied to the coil flows in a direction other than parallel to the direction of gravitational force, the coil(s) being made to rotate sufficiently rapidly in the same direction as the flow of electrons so that the energy flow will achieve the speed of light and produce a moving standing wave. This is said to generates a horizontal, or non-vertical back e. m. f. from the standing wave in the coil(s) that pulls the 'gravity' particles away from the object to be lifted, using the speed of light as the 'anchor' against which to pull thus allegedly reducing the force of gravity.

Title: Introducer for deploying a stent graft in a curved lumen and stent graft therefor
Inventor: KOLBEL TILO
IPC: A61F2/95
Filed: 2008-10-31
Granted: 2010-11-03
Abstract: A stent graft (18) for deployment in a curved lumen such as the aortic or thoracic arch (130) comprises a constraining mechanism at its proximal end. A stent (4′) provided at the proximal end of the stent graft (18) includes loops of material (11) that co-operate with restraining wires (42) that extend between a central guide wire carrier (24) and a restraining wire cannula (8). The constraining mechanism acts to maintain the proximal stent (4′) constrained at three points around its circumference at both the proximal and distal ends of the proximal stent (4′). The proximal stent (4′) is thus allowed to expand after expansion of the remainder of the stent graft (18) during deployment. In an embodiment, the constraining mechanism acts to constrain two adjacent struts of the proximal stent (4′) at three points radially therearound, at the proximal end of the stent (4′) and at the distal end of the stent (4′). The proximal stent (4′) may then overlap with the interior of an adjacent stent at an inner part (31) of a curved vessel.

Only the third member is upset to form beads 24, 26. Part of the third member is removed leaving a stub part 16. The second member is joined to the stub's face 36 using the heater plate. The part 16 is upset leaving a thin wafer 48. The two interfaces 30, 50 limit the growth of cracks in the wafer to prevent their propagation through the pipe thickness under hoop stress. The beads are preferably removed at each stage.

Title: Method and device for measuring mass flow of a flowing medium
Inventor: ALESZ JOZSEF
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 1993-08-03
Abstract: Method for measuring mass flow of a fluid stream, comprising the steps of inducing a fluid flow corresponding to the fluid stream through at least two resilient flow pipes (22, 23, 24, 25), forcing the flow pipes to perform a vibration movement between inlet cross sections and outlet cross sections transverse to the axis of the flow pipes, sensing (36, 37) the effect of Coriolis forces in order to produce signals corresponding to the mass flow. According to the invention displacements caused by periodic Coriolis forces are impeded by substantially rigid mechanism (32, 35) interconnecting the pipes (22, 24; 23, 25) mechanically, producing electric signals by means of sensing mechanical stresses generated within said mechanism as a result of impeding said displacements, said electric signals being suitable to determine the mass flow.
