Title: Data transmission radio system, particularly cellular radio system
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 1991-05-02
Abstract: In a data transmission system with radio stations and devices remote from it, e.g. in a cellular mobile radio system, the radio stations transmit radio signals and receive radio signals which in each case contain data signals. According to the invention, as many as possible are shifted from the fixed stations to the remote devices for processing functions. The radio signal to be transmitted from the radio station (2) is generated by generating in the remote transmission device (10) an unmodulated carrier and a carrier modulated with the data signal, where the carriers differ in their frequency by the amount of the carrier frequency of the radio signal (f1). These two optical carriers are transmitted to the radio station (2), where they are mixed in an optical receiver to produce the radio signal containing the data signal. A radio signal which is received in a radio station (40) is optically transmitted to a remote device (44) and is further processed only when it is there. This transmission is carried out in that an optical transmitter (41) present in the remote transmission device (44) generates an unmodulated optical carrier and transmits it to an optical modulator (43) located in the radio station (40). In the optical modulator (43), the light, modulated with the received radio signal, is transmitted back and the radio signal (f1') is obtained by optical heterodyne reception of the unmodulated and the modulated carrier (v0', v1').

Title: Manipulator for transporting and positioning workpieces
IPC: B25J9/04
Filed: 1991-11-15
Abstract: The manipulator (1) serves in particular to feed machining equipment and to palletise the machined workpieces. It has a rigid swivel arm (16) of given length and a gripping device (18), arranged at the free end of the swivel arm (16), as well as a support (15) which is spatially orientated in a fixed manner and is mounted in a vertically displaceable manner on a horizontally movable pedestal (10, 11) and on which the swivel arm (16) is laterally mounted. The replacement of a swivel arm hitherto variable in its length by a rigid swivel arm with a vertically adjustable axis produces a more favourable working space of the manipulator and simpler control of the positioning of the gripping device, in particular in the pallet area. In addition, this manipulator is simpler and less expensive to produce than the known gantry-type or swivel-arm robots. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for the detection of hydrocarbons, especially oil, in water conveying pipework systems
IPC: G01N21/85
Filed: 1992-05-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the detection of hydrocarbons, especially oil, in water-conveying pipework systems by determining the transmission behaviour of a light ray. According to the invention, a tubular measuring device is introduced into an existing pipeline system. Said measuring device comprises an internally metallised tubular part with a transparent window at its first end. Mounted on said window is a light emitter, an optical device and a photodetector. Furthermore, the photodetector is connected to an evaluation unit. In addition to the sealed tubular part, the tubular measuring device comprises, at the second end, a tubular part which is internally lined with retroreflecting foil. The light ray emitted by the light emitter enters the water-conveying tube at an angle determined by the arrangement of the light emitter and is repeatedly reflected by the metallised tubular part until it reaches the tubular part lined with retroreflective foil. The light ray is reflected back in the direction of incidence by the retroreflective foil. The returning light ray finally reaches the entry window again, is focused by an optical arrangement, in the simplest case a convergent lens, and is directed onto the photodetector. During its transmission, the intensity of the light ray drops as a result of absorption. If the water contains dissolved hydrocarbons, the component of the light intensity lost by absorption increases. This loss is detected by the evaluation unit. <IMAGE>

IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 1993-04-26
Abstract: A safety cut-off system for an installation consisting of machines which are designed for interaction has a machine cut-off level (10) in which a dedicated cut-off circuit is allocated to each machine (12a-12h), a zone cut-off level (20) in which cut-off zones can be cut off which consist of groups of associated machines, and a system cut-off level (30) which is allocated to all the machines (12a-12h) in the installation. The cut-off circuits each have an electrically operable switching element (16a-16h) which is connected via safety circuits (13a-13d) to a main box (24) for central control of the safety cut-off system and, through said box, to a power supply (100). The safety circuits (13a-13d) have operable tripping elements (22a, 22b, 32a) at the zone cut-off level (20) and at the system cut-off level (30), are designed as latching circuits and are passed through by the main box in which they can be selectively linked with one another by means of a switching matrix such that groups of associated machines are cut off when one of the tripping elements is operated. In order to connect an additional machine to the safety cut-off system, it is necessary only to connect the cut-off circuit of this machine to the main box (24) via an additional latching circuit. There is no need for any other change to the wiring of the installation since the additional machine is linked to the safety cut-off system in the switching matrix of the main box (24). <IMAGE>

IPC: B60W10/04
Filed: 1993-07-07
Abstract: The hydraulically operated brake and clutch elements (controlled by proportional control valves) of a vehicle powershift transmission have fill pressures which are calibrated by a method wherein the output shaft of the transmission is disconnected from the vehicle drive shaft so that the transmission output shaft is free to rotate and certain ones of the plurality of the control elements other than the control element being calibrated are fully pressurized in order to prevent rotation of a part of the control element being calibrated. The engine is run at a predetermined speed and the pressure applied to the control element being calibrated is gradually increased while engine speed is monitored. When the monitored engine speed changes by predetermined amount, a value is saved corresponding to the calibration pressure. The transmission is automatically shifted to neutral if vehicle motion is sensed. The volume of hydraulic fluid required to initially engage the control element may be calibrated in a similar manner.

Title: Apparatus for making crystallized glass.
Inventor: YAMAURA TAKESHI
IPC: C03B5/16
Filed: 1994-05-24
Abstract: An apparatus is presented for economically making crystallized glass products from waste ash produced from the sewage sludge dewatered by organic matters, which is usually regarded to be difficult to process. The melting is performed in two furnaces: the primary melting furnace and the secondary melting furnace. The primary furnace melts waste ash and the primary melt is charged into the secondary melting furnace. The glassy material produced in the secondary melting furnace is charged into a crystallization furnace to convert the glassy material to a crystallized glass product. This basic configuration of the apparatus allows the production of either irregular shaped crystallized products, such as crushed stone like products, or crystallized manufactured products, such as tiles and blocks, depending on the combination of processing equipment and their operating conditions. The apparatus enables the production of crystallized glass products from waste ash feed economically, because of the flexibility and versatility in the design of the apparatus. <IMAGE>
