Patent EP-0302645-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FOXCROFT RONALD LEWIS
IPC: G10K5/00
Filed: 1988-07-26
Abstract: The invention provides a new whistle, intended for sports referees, and for small boat emergency use, where a loud piercing sound is required without the possibility of loss of sound by "over-blowing" or by sticking of the freely-moving ball used in conventional whistles. The profile of the new whistle preferably is of flat-topped "mandolin" shape in side elevation, so that it is familiar and readily acceptable by established users, and yet includes three separate fipple-type whistle elements in a single whistle body, each with its own air column chamber (24, 26, 28) and vibration-producing knife edge (24a, 26a, 28a), at least two of which chambers are of slightly different lengths, so as to produce complex harmonics and beats that increase the piercing quality and audibility of the sound. This is done by providing two elements (24, 26) side-by-side and parallel to one another, with the third also parallel and below (or above in an inverted shape) the other two protruding into the space between them. The body is provided with a rearwardly-­  protruding boss (18) into which the third column (28) extends, so that its knife edge (28a) can be set back from the others to retain the desired side profile, and yet it can be the longest of the three. The whistle is made as a three-part (32, 34, 38) moulding, two (34, 38) of which fit within the third (32), the moulding parts providing different parts of the three element chambers (24, 26, 28), their knife edges (24a, 26a, 28a), air-directing passages (24c, 26c, 28c) and the boss (18), so that all three parts can be moulded without the use of complex moulds and the whistle is complete when the three are assembled together.

Abstract: For the central rolling out of the webs or to avoid deep pass incisions of the rolls/former rolls and to avoid undercuts due to the outer portions of the section/flanges in the production of H, I, U, T, L, double T sections and similar rolled material, the trick of folding out is employed. After the upset passes the flanges are formed by folding, i.e. by a flat and edging pass, during finishing-rolling. 
<??>The invention proposes a new folding method in accordance with the principle of the three-roll bending method. Another solution to the same problem comprises a folding method which employs back-up rolls for the first portion of the section or web, the said rolls not touching the inner flange faces or inner faces of second portions of the section. 
<??>Corresponding new roll stands and rolling mills require lower levels of investment, exhibit less roll wear and have a shorter overall length. Further advantages are the smaller requirement for former rolls and lower energy consumption.

Abstract: Motor starters with short-circuit protection are known as "combined starters". In these starters, a power switch is connected upstream of a protection means, with which the motor is normally controlled, said power switch breaking the current path sufficiently quickly when short-circuit currents occur and thus protecting the load to be controlled and the other switching devices of the starter. The arc work, to be performed in this process, of the short-circuit current disconnection is performed solely by the power switch of the starter combination. The invention is based on the object of providing cost-effective and user-friendly "self-coordinating" combined starters. Two protection means (2, 3) are connected in series with an electronic measuring, control and monitoring unit (4), the protection means (2, 3) having approximately identical take-off currents and the monitoring system of the unit (4) containing electronic triggers (9, 10, 11) for the protection of the motor and protection against short circuits. The control system of the unit (4) brings about, in cooperation with the electronic triggers 9 and 10 on the occurrence of overload and short-circuit currents, a simultaneous rapid switching off of the two protection means (2, 3) within an error current halfwave. Motor starter for actuating and de-actuating electric motors. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1989-07-04
Abstract: In der digitalen Schaltungstechnik werden bipolare Transistoren wegen ihrer großen Steilheit vorteilhhaft für Schaltvorgänge eingesetzt. Da ein in Sättigung betriebener Transistor (3) ein verlangsamtes Schaltverhalten aufweist, muß bei schnellen Schaltvorgängen die Sättigung vermieden werden. Bei Schottky-Dioden wird die Sättigung dadurch vermieden, daß parallel zur Basis-Kollektor-Sperrschicht eine Schottky-Diode geschaltet wird. Allerdings erfordert die Herstellung von Schottky-Dioden in der integrierten Schaltungstechnik zusätzliche Prozeßschritte. Die erfindungsgemäße Schaltung vermeidet diese zusätzlichen Prozeßschritte, indem sie die Schottky-Diode durch ein unidirektionales Halbleiterelement ersetzt, das aus Feldeffekttransistoren (1, 2) zusammengestzt ist. Für die Herstellung der Schaltung eignen sich besonders die Verfahren der BICMOS-Technologie, die die monolithische Integration von Bipolar- und MOS-Transistoren ermöglichen.

Abstract: On the shock absorbers (26) an adjustment can be made in such a way that the difference between the damping coefficient for the tension stroke and the damping coefficient for the compression stroke is varied. As a result of constant short-stroke vibrations of the wheels (21 to 24) brought about by unevenness of the roadway, the respective shock absorber (26) generates a force which acts on the body and the value of which depends on the difference. By an appropriate control of the shock absorbers (26), pitching and rolling movements of the body can be counteracted. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A bearing arrangement particularly useful for supporting the driveshaft of a thermal engine in which the driveshaft is acted upon by a rotating bending load. Since a rotating bending load of such thermal engines generates driveshaft bending deflections which rotate with the driveshaft, the bearings supporting the driveshaft must be capable of accommodating such deflection. Conventional rolling element type bearings can accommodate driveshaft deflection or wobble but have limited operational lifespans. In accordance with this invention, a driveshaft bearing arrangement is provided utilizing plane bearings having spherical surfaces which restrain radial loads while accommodating driveshaft wobble. In one embodiment, the spherical bearing includes a ring member affixed to the driveshaft having a spherical outer surface which closely conforms to a concave bearing surface. In a second embodiment, the driveshaft passes through a ring member having a cylindrical surface interacting with a cylindrical journal surface of the driveshaft to rotatably support the driveshaft. The ring member further has a convex spherical configuration closely conforming to concave spherical surfaces of outer bearing shells which accommodate driveshaft wobble.
