Title: Energy management system.
Inventor: BROWN ROBERT J III
IPC: H01H43/00
Filed: 1987-09-16
Abstract: Described herein is an energy management system in which a central unit provides a series of energy managing signals over a medium, such as TV cables, power lines, telephone lines or free space radio frequency transmissions, to a plurality of subscriber units. Within each unit is a transponder which responds to the transmitted central unit signals and provides corresponding signals onto an electric grid, such as the power lines, within the subscribing unit. The appliances to be managed each have associated therewith a responder unit, which is coupled to the electric grid to receive the transponder provided signals. Each of the central unit transmitted signals is encoded to manifest the energy managing dictates of a particular one of a plurality of diffferent schedules and is only provided in conformance with the dictates of the schedule is manifests. Typically, where an appliance is to be turned off as part of the energy management scheme, the encoded signals are provided only when the schedule manifested thereby indicate that a particular appliance is to be turned off. The responder units each have subscriber settable encoding devices associated therewith and the subscriber sets the code of a particular schedule for each responder after referring to series of schedules which is supplied to each user of the energy management system. The responder then responds to only the codes applied thereto conforming to the code set on the settable encoding devices and the appliance with which that responder is associated is then managed in accordance with the selected schedule.

Abstract: Beschrieben ist ein Elektrodendraht (20), der gegenüber herkömmlichem Elektrodendraht (10) mit angeformten Flanschen (30, 31) zu seiner Abstützung auf dem Umfang einer Rollenelektrode (12) beiderseits einer Führungsnut (22, 22') versehen ist. Der Elektrodendraht (20) ist breiter als seine Berührungsfläche auf dem Schweißgut und hat eine wesentlich breitere Auflagefläche auf dem Schweißgut als der herkömmliche Elektrodendraht. Dadurch werden beim Schweißen Bleche (z.B. verbleite Bleche von Kraftstofftanks) neben der Schweißlinse zusammengepreßt, wodurch das Klaffen der Bleche neben der Schweißlinse und seitliches Aufreißen der Schweißlinse verhindert werden. Das über die Führungsnut (22, 22') überstehende Profil des Elektrodendrahtes (20) ist sehr dünn und kann sich, auch wenn der Elektrodendraht während der Schweißung weich wird, unter Querkräften nicht seitlich verformen. Mit dem Elektrodendraht (20) hergestellte Schweißungen haben eine wesentlich bessere Ermüdungsfestigkeit als mit dem herkömmlichen Elektrodendraht (10) hergestellte Schweißungen.

Abstract: In a gradient coil system for a magnetic resonance apparatus arc conductors of notably X coils and Y coils are stacked axially or radially so as to form rigid stacks. The arc conductors are interconnected by means of electrical conductors and the stacks are also interconnected, so that a rigid, self-supporting coil system is obtained. Because the coil system is composed of rigid elements, is comparatively open and does not require a coil former, the production of noise in a magnetic resonance apparatus comprising such a coil system is substantially reduced and field disturbances due to coil deformations are also reduced.

Abstract: Un transformateur symétrique-asymétrique pour micro-ondes permet d'obtenir une extension de la gamme des fréquences de fonctionnement en particulier en conjonction avec une antenne spiralée à cavité contiguë (5). La cavité symétrique-asymétrique (13) comporte un dipôle (15, 17) s'étendant entre un port coaxial asymétrique (19) et une paroi d'extrémité opposée (29), la jonction (16) dudit pôle étant connectée à une ligne jumelle symétrique (7). L'amélioration consiste à réguler de façon efficace la longueur de la cavité pour la rapprocher de (deux) bras de réactance quart d'onde par introduction d'un réflecteur (21) dépendant des fréquences à chacune des extrémités dudit pôle. A des fréquences faibles les réflecteurs sont transparents, permettant ainsi à la cavité de se déployer sur toute sa longueur, alors qu'à des fréquences élevées les réflecteurs ont un effet réfléchissant et réduisent la longueur effective de la cavité.

Abstract: Due to the cascaded connection of the individual detectors, the respective physical detector address (PHA) is detected and stored. Each detector has a memory which is filled with an organisational detector address by the central station. In each detector base (MF), an electrical connection (FS) can be established for the switchable line core (b) of the two-core primary signalling line (ML) when no hazard detector (M) is plugged into the detector base (MF). When the system is taken into operation, addresses are automatically issued due to the order in which the detector base (MF) is equipped with the hazard detectors (M) for each primary signalling line (ML), a first physical address (PHA01) being allocated in the central station (Z) to the first hazard detector (M1) plugged in, being stored and this detector then being interrogated for its organisational detector address (0RA). If it has no organisational detector address as yet, the central station (Z) allocates to it a first organisational detector address (0RA01) and transfers it forward into a non-volatile memory. This process is carried out for all detectors of a respective line. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to correct tooth engagements, the fault in the tooth system and gear wheel attachment acting on the transmission of rotation is overcome with the aid of arc displacements. In this case, the influences of all the participating components must be taken into account and eliminated as far as possible. In order to achieve a reproducible position of the gear wheel on its shaft journal, its position is initially measured in force-fit connection, using a single-flank roller test. A radial displacement of the gear wheel is determined from the test result. After adjustment of the gear wheel into the corrected position, it is connected to the shaft journal in a positively locking manner, in that position. For this purpose, play provided between the shaft and gear wheel is injected with a plastic mass.
