Patent EP-0481401-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JENSEN THOMAS HULEGAARD
IPC: D02J3/18
Filed: 1991-10-14
Abstract: The instant invention presents both an apparatus and method for redirecting the flow of entrained air surrounding a fan of rapidly moving glass filaments or fibers away from the vicinity of an applicator surface carrying a liquid used to coat the fibers. In particular, the instant invention accomplishes this by providing at least one pair of aerodynamic stripping and deflecting surfaces (10,20) to strip entrained air away from the front and rear of the fan (26) and deflect the air away from the surface of the applicator (28) so as to reduce turbulence in its vicinity and thereby allow the moving filaments to be coated more uniformly with a liquid binder or size solution. In the preferred embodiment, air removed from one side of the fan is redirected through it in order to remove any residual air that was not removed by the initial action of the aerodynamic stripping and deflecting surfaces. In an alternative embodiment, the flow of air through the fan is augmented by injecting a second stream of air to enhance the removal of this residual air from the fan.

Abstract: An infrared detector device for viewing an object or scene at plural wavelengths, e.g. in the 3 to 5 micron and 8 to 14 micron wavebands, comprises detector elements (10 and 20) formed in two or more infrared-sensitive materials with different bandgaps, e.g. in cadmium mercury telluride. These materials may be provided side-by-side in a single level on a substrate (3) or preferably as different levels (1 and 2) on the substrate (3). Each detector element (10 and 20) comprises a p-n junction (11 and 21) between opposite conductivity type regions (12,13 and 22,23). Electrical connections (15,25,24) extend from these regions to the substrate (3). A degree of versatility and freedom in the design and fabrication of the device is obtained by adopting a connection structure in accordance with the invention, in which one connection (25) of the longer-wavelength response element (20) contacts both the semiconductor material (2) of that element (20) and the larger-bandgap material (1) of the shorter-wavelength response element (10), at a side-wall (42) of both materials. The larger-bandgap material (1) comprises a further region (18) which adjoins the side-wall (42) and which forms a further p-n junction (19) electrically in parallel with the p-n junction (21) of the longer-wavelength detector element (20). This further p-n junction (19) has a higher impedance than the element p-n junction (21) due to the difference in bandgap, and so the output signal in this connection (25) is dominated by the photo-current generated in the longer-wavelength detector element (20).

Abstract: A gas turbine engine (10) is supplied with fuel from a pump (11) by way of a metering unit (112) which includes a metering valve responsive to a servo pressure which is regulated by electrical signals from a control circuit (28). Failure of electrical signals to the unit (112) results in the metering valve being arrested in the failed position. A combined manually operable and shut-off valve arrangement (113) is in series with the metering unit (112) includes a valve which is normally biassed fully open and is operable by a manually regulated servo pressure. The arrangement (113) also includes a device for setting the servo pressure of the valve in the metering unit (112) to a value which maintains the metering valve fully open.

Abstract: At each side of the cutting head (38) is mounted a pad arrangement (60), each comprising two pads (62, 64) of a compressible, resilient, electrically conductive material, held separated by spaced-apart ribs (66) also of a compressible material, the arrangement being such that when either of the pad arrangements is compressed, an electrical circuit is made and a signal is thus generated in response to which a cutting stroke of the press is prevented by disabling the motor (18, 20) by which cutting strokes are generally effected. In addition, in response to the signal break means is applied to arrest any lateral movement of the cutting head (38).

Abstract: Switch drives are used for transmitting force from the front of a switching installation to a switching device located in the switching installation. The object here is to simplify the switching operations of a switch drive of the type already mentioned and to provide self-controlling mechanisms which close or open operating openings, indicate unambiguous switch positions and automatically lock the cable connecting spaces, depending on the switching operation. The solution provides that a switching-on spring (6) and a switching-off spring (20) are simultaneously clamped at the maximum force point during manual switching rotation of an operating shaft (1). In this case, mechanical coupling elements (3, 4, 22, 23, 17, 16, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 39), > [sic] are moved into the switched-on position, and the switching-off spring is held in the clamped position via a switching-off spring lever (19). A transverse slide (36), which can be operated by the switching shaft (38), makes it possible to lock the operating shafts (1, 80) alternately, is used as the switch position indication, and locks the cable connecting spaces by means of a driver shaft (35) which is connected to the transverse slide and has a locking lever (33). Such a switch drive is suitable for medium-voltage switch devices, especially for load interrupter switches. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A peripheral unit (10) and computer (14) are connected by an existing communication link (12) which provides a plurality of unidirectional bit and command lines (40, 42, 44, 46) from the computer (14) to the peripheral unit (10) and a plurality of unidirectional, status lines (48, 50, 52, 54, 56) from the peripheral unit (10) to the computer (14). The peripheral unit (10) has an advanced functionality which enables transfer over its outgoing status lines (48, 50, 52, 54,56) of added peripheral unit data. The computer (14) emplaces inconsistent logic states on at least a pair of command lines (44, 46) to the peripheral unit (10) to inquire whether the peripheral unit (10) contains the advanced functionality capability. The peripheral unit (10) responds by transmitting an acknowledgement over at least one of its outgoing status lines (48) that it possesses the capability. The computer (14) then polls the peripheral unit's (10) status lines (48, 50) to determine the presence of the acknowledgement and, absent the sampling action, is unaware of the acknowledgement. The computer (14), subsequent to the acknowledgement, determines if added peripheral unit status data is indicated (52) as awaiting transfer, and if so, sets a command line (44) to request the added peripheral unit (10) status data. The peripheral unit (10) then places the data onto a status line (50) for transit to the computer (14), thereby enabling the preexisting communication link (12) to handle the added data.

Abstract: To prevent reactions of the casting mould with the metal to be cast, in particular titanium, and to ensure a cast product largely free of pores and sinkholes, it is proposed to add 40 to 60 % by mass of zirconium dioxide to the investment casting powder used for production. For setting, the receiver vessel for the investment casting paste with added binder is mounted in such a way that the zirconium dioxide diffuses under gravity into the lower zones and deposits there and essentially forms the wall of the later casting space.
