Inventor: MAJETTE MARK W
IPC: G05B19/23
Filed: 1988-07-22
Abstract: A control system providing a control of position, velocity, and direction of movement of a member in an axis of freedom which employs a scale (13) having scale divisions (13a) thereon and bands or zones (A,B,C) defining limits of constant velocity control, acceleration and deceleration zone limits, and a rest or parking position. The scale spans and parallels the axis of freedom. A single channel transducer or encoder (12) mounted on and moving with the member produces time varying output signals in response to the sensing of scale divisions along the scale and signals of different characteristic in response to encoder sensing of the limit bands. The time varying output signals are employed as scale division count signals for position determination and as scale division count signals per unit of time, for velocity feed-back. The signals of different characteristic produced upon entering and during crossing of the limit bands, are utilized in a system of logic for computing control sytem signals to compensate control uncertainties in differing functional modes of the control system.

Abstract: The apparatus consists of a fire protection flap (8), pivotally mounted in a duct section (3) passed through a wall of a building, which flap can be swung via a drive device (10) out of its position of rest, which frees the duct, into a fire protection position which shuts off the duct. In order to simplify assembly and maintenance and to increase operational reliability, the fire protection flap (8) with its drive device (10) is fixed in a duct section (2) which can be inserted into the air duct, and a box determining the passage aperture of the duct, which can be inserted into the wall, is provided for the assembly of this duct section (2). The drive device (10) can be designed as a cam drive which is connected to the fire protection flap (8) via a connecting rod which, in the closed position of the fire protection flap (8), occupies a top dead centre position relative to the axis of rotation of the cam. A heat switch (20) for actuating and remotely displaying the state of actuation of the fire protection flap (8) can be provided on a part (4) of the duct section projecting from the box, an assembly guard being provided for this switch.

IPC: B23Q1/54
Filed: 1989-02-24
Abstract: The turret head (1) has a rotatably mounted turret plate (3) and a spindle (5) rotatably and pivotably mounted inside this turret plate. Inside the turret plate, the spindle (5) is provided with ring-gear segments (14) which are symmetric to the spindle axis and are connected via planetary pinions (15) to ring gears (16) which are rigidly coupled to one another by means of a pinion shaft and are rotatably mounted in the turret plate (3). This symmetric arrangement of ring-gear segments, planetary pinions and ring gears is provided in order to prevent the action of force on one side on the spindle and thus prevent wobbling movements of the same. The gear ring (16) can be locked relative to the turret housing (2) by means of an indexing pin (17) so that, when the turret plate (3) rotates, the planetary pinions (15) move on rolling contact and as a result pivot the spindle (5) on account of their meshing with the gear segments (14), so that this spindle (5) is displaced parallel to itself during pivoting of the turret plate. The axial displacement of the tool (11) held by the spindle, occurring as a result of the displacement of the spindle,  is compensated for by a displacement of the slide carrying the turret head. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0355278-A2 (EP)

IPC: H02G1/06
Filed: 1989-05-26
Abstract: For ploughing cables, a corresponding laying plough (18) has a cable chute (26) serving to guide the cable (10 ... 12). When only one cable is laid, a relatively narrow cable chute can be used, the clear width of which is slightly greater than the diameter of the cable. To lay a plurality of cables next to one another, the cable chute (26) would need to be of correspondingly wide dimensions, which requires an increased traction outlay for the laying plough (18) and a greater mound in the ground. The object of the invention is to permit the laying of a plurality of cables (10, 11, 12) without the abovementioned disadvantages. The process according to the invention provides that the cables (10 ... 12) are guided behind or above one another in a common vertical plane through the cable chute (26), and are only re-oriented shortly before the cables (10 ... 12) emerge from the cable chute (26). For this, the laying plough (18) according to the invention has a specially designed cable chute (26). The invention is particularly suitable for burying cables (10 ... 12) in sand, but also for burying other objects in sand which are to be laid in the ground (17), for example pipes, tubes or the like. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Bei einem taktilen Sensor ist auf einer folienartigen Unterlage (1) eine Leiterbahn (2A) aus einem elektrischen Widerstandsmaterial angeordnet, das elastisch ausgebildet ist. An Kreuzungsstellen mit elektrisch gut leitenden Leiterbahnen (3A, 3B, 3C), die auf einer weiteren elastischen Folie (4) angeordnet sind, weist die eine Leiterbahn (2A) jeweils eine gleichmäßig gekrümmte konvexe Oberfläche (7) auf. Wird ein Druck auf die weitere ebene Folie (4) ausgeübt, dann wird die konvexe Oberfläche (7) der einen Leiterbahn (2A) im Bereich der Druckausübung deformiert, so daß in diesem Bereich die eine elektrisch gut leitende Leiterbahn (3B) an die eine Leiterbahn (2A) über einen druckabhängigen Längenbereich (X) sich anschmiegt, so daß der Gesamtwiderstand der einen Leiterbahn (2A) sich druckabhängig ändert. Durch Messen dieses Gesamtwiderstands und des Potentials der elektrisch gut leitenden Leiterbahnen (3A, 3B, 3C) ist die Druckausübung nach Ort und Größe bestimmbar.

Abstract: The supports (9; 35) by which adhesive-applying nozzles (6) are supported in a shoe machine, e.g. a cement lasting machine, for tracking movement along opposite portions of a shoe bottom (5) are provided with mountings (34) by each of which either such a nozzle (6) or a sensing head (20) can be supported. In the latter case, as the sensing heads (20) are moved in the X-direction under the control of a stepping motor (18), the heads sense the edge of the insole (which may be provided with a black line (23, 24)) and by feedback signals are caused to follow it, thereby determining the Y-axis movement corresponding to the X-axis movement necessary to guide the nozzle in the subsequent adhesive-applying operation. The Y-axis movement is stored at memory locations for which the Y-direction movement values constituted the address. When, therefore, subsequently in an adhesive-applying operation, the nozzles are caused to track along the X-axis, the Y-axis information is accessed and the nozzles are moved in the Y-coordinate axis direction accordingly.
