Abstract: A vehicle e.g. a self-propelled windrower includes an engine compartment containing an engine-driven
fan for pulling cooling air through a screen (40) covering a circular air inlet leading into the
compartment. The fan also is coupled for creating a suction in an air duct (50) extending
diametrically across the air inlet, the duct (50) in turn being coupled to the center of a channel-like
vacuum wand (76) mounted for sweeping the exterior of the screen (40) and removing
airborne debris collected by the screen (40). Provided for rotatably supporting a drive shaft (74)
for the wand (76) is a bearing support member (62) including a cylindrical portion having an end
fixed to a mounting plate (64) secured to the air duct (50), the cylindrical portion having an
interior end section receiving an outer race of a roller bearing (72) having an inner race receiving
and being fixed to the wand drive shaft (74). An electric drive motor (102) is located within said
compartment and mounted to said air duct (50) at a side thereof remote from said screen (40).
The electric motor (102) is, of a type normally used for driving windshield wiper blades and
includes a main body (104) disposed at a right angle to an out put shaft (106) coupled to the
wand shaft (74) by a wedge fit formed by respective frusto-conical surfaces of the motor output
shaft (106) and the wand drive shaft (74). The motor output shaft (106) projects through a hole
(112) provided in the mounting plate (64) of the bearing support member (62), the hole (112)
having an axially short pilot portion (114) to accurately position the motor output shaft (106)
relative to the wand drive shaft (74) to minimize misalignments, and secondly to minimize the
binding of the motor shaft.

Abstract: A process for the production of 7-18C alcohols (I) by hydroformylation of corresponding olefins (II) with synthesis gas (III) in an organic phase containing a cobalt catalyst at 50-250 degrees C and 100-400 bar, followed by hydrogenation of the aldehydes obtained, in which the catalyst is obtained by reacting an aqueous cobalt salt solution (IV) with (III) in presence of a solvent (V) which is immiscible or only slightly miscible with water, and the catalyst-containing organic phase is obtained by extraction of the catalyst from the aqueous phase with an extractant (VI) which is immiscible or only slightly miscible with water. The novelty is that (a) the formation of the catalyst, (b) its extraction into the organic phase and (c) the hydroformylation are all carried out in one stage.

Title: Processing of sound media with still image films in photofinishing labs
Inventor: PATTON DAVID LYNN
IPC: G03B31/00
Filed: 1997-12-15
Abstract: A method of processing photographic still image film orders (10A) having sound
information recorded at the camera in association with one or more images
captured on the film in which the sound information is downloaded at an order
entry station to create a sound file for transfer to the photofinishing laboratory.
Order identification data linking the recorded sound information to the film order (10A)
is created and assigned to the sound file and the film order. The order
identification data is employed at the photofinishing laboratory to create a sound
recording medium from the sound file which is linked to prints produced from the
film order (10A), the sound recording medium then being attached to the image prints
using the linking order identification data. Sound information associated with
individual image prints may also be accumulated and recorded on a single sound
recording medium for attachment to an index print produced from the film order.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for evaluating
the risk of condensation on a surface in contact with a volume
of humid air, by using a sensor including a detection zone that
is brought to the temperature of the surface and that is
subjected to temperature cycles about the surface temperature.
The method consists in performing the following steps:
   a) selecting an initial temperature amplitude;   b) subjecting the detection zone to a temperature cycle of
temperature amplitude equal to the selected temperature
amplitude;   c) if condensation is detected on the detection zone,
selecting a smaller temperature amplitude and returning to b);   d) if no condensation is detected and no condensation was
detected with the previously-selected temperature amplitude,
selecting a greater temperature amplitude and returning to b);
and   e) if no condensation is detected but condensation was
detected with the previously-selected temperature amplitude,
indicating a corresponding level of risk.

Abstract: To control a lung ventilator comprising an inspiratory implement to be worn by the patient, an air supply system for supplying air to the inspiratory implement, and a control unit for controlling the air supply system, electromyographic signals produced by the patient's diaphragm are detected by an array of electrodes passing through the center of the patient's diaphragm depolarizing region. The position of the center of the patient's diaphragm depolarizing region is determined through detection of a reversal of polarity of the electromyographic component of the electrode-detected electromyographic signals. First and second electromyographic signals detected by the electrodes of the array on opposite sides of the patient's diaphragm depolarizing region are subtracted from each other, this subtraction cancelling the noise components of the first and second electromyographic signals but adding the respective electromyographic components of these first and second signals together to produce an electromyographic signal having an improved signal-to-noise ratio, having a reduced electrode-position-induced filter effect, and being representative of a demand to inspire from the patient's brain. The electromyographic signal of improved signal-to-noise ratio is finally supplied as input signal to the control unit of the lung ventilator for controlling the air supply system and therefore the inspiration assist in relation to the electromyographic signal of improved signal-to-noise ratio and of reduced electrode-position-induced filter effect, and therefore in relation to the demand to inspire from the patient's brain.
