Filed: 2007-01-12
Granted: 2015-04-28
Abstract: In the method, for collecting and diluting a gaseous sample disposed at a temperature substantially higher than the normal temperature from a sample space (2), a flow of sample is collected into a sampling tube (3); the flow of sample is introduced from the sampling tube into a sample channel (8) formed by a gas permeable first jacket (7); dilution gas is introduced into a dilution gas space (10) formed by a second jacket (9) enclosing the first jacket and connected by its end to the sampling tube, and further from it, through the first jacket into the sample channel; and heat is conducted from the sample space (2) into the dilution gas space (10) for warming up the dilution gas that comes into contact with the sampling tube (3). According to the invention, in the method, a substantially laminar protection flow, which encloses the flow of sample being released from the sampling tube (3) into the sample channel (8) and is disposed longitudinally to the sample channel, is formed from the warmed up dilution gas.

Title: Improved pilot assembly and control system
Inventor: WOLCOTT CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: F23Q9/00
Filed: 1998-07-15
Granted: 2010-09-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a control system for a gas burner that has improved safety and usefulness, by providing a burner ignitor with a toggle switch function to optionally provide a continuous burning pilot or an on- demand pilot. This control system for a gas burner heater assembly, useful for heating a fuel pipeline, has a burner control means adapted to receive a signal from a pilot flame sensor and being electrically connected to a main valve solenoid and a pilot fuel valve and a pilot ignitor rod. The control system has an on-demand pilot toggle switch with a first position whereby the control means provides electrical current to open the pilot valve and to spark the ignitor rod when the pilot flame sensor indicates a lack of a continual pilot flame, and the toggle switch having a second position whereby the control means provides electrical current to open the pilot valve and current to the ignitor rod when the control means identifies a demand for the burner and the sensor indicates the lack of a pilot flame.

Abstract: An assembly (10) comprises a receptacle (12) having a base (14) including a longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18) extending above and below the base. A first wall (20) projects above the base (14), the first wall (20) having a given height (H) and a given width (W) and being spaced a given distance (D) from the longitudinal row (16) of male connector pins (18). A second wall (22) is spaced from the first wall (20) and also projects above the base (14). The second wall (22) has a height (H1) substantially equal to the given height (H) and a width (W1) different from the given width (W) and being spaced from the longitudinal row (16) of connector pins (18) a distance (D1) different from the given distance (D). A  connector (24) has a central body (26) formed to fit between the first and second walls (20, 22). The central body (26) includes a longitudinal row (28) of female connector pins (30) formed to engage the male connector pins (18). The pins (30) can terminate in male ends (30a) if desired. The central body (26) includes two oppositely disposed recesses (32, 34). A  first of the recesses (32) is formed to engage the first wall (20) and a second of the recesses (34) is formed to engage the second wall (22). Accurate positioning of the connector with the receptacle is insured by the plural asymmetries developed by the varying distances (D) and (D1) and the varying widths (W) and (W1) of the first and second walls (20, 22). To insure positive retention of the parts, the assembly (10) is provided with a latching feature. To achieve latching, one of the walls, for example, first wall (20), is provided with a latch receiver (36) in the form of an aperture (36a) and one of the recesses, for example, recess (32), is provided with a latch (38), which can be in the form of a projection (38a).

Title: Roller press with annular disc
Inventor: DEMUTH LARS
IPC: B02C4/28
Filed: 2008-07-21
Granted: 2014-09-09
Abstract: A roller press (1) is described for grinding particulate material such as cement raw materials, cement clinker and similar materials, the roller press having two oppositely rotating rollers (2, 3) with one roller being movably supported relative to the other roller and with the rollers (2, 3) forming between them a roller gap (4). A co-rotating annular disc is attached to one of the rollers (2), which subject to actuation by a number of springs (7), is movable in the direction of the roller axis and which, in the area around the roller gap (4,) extends over the end surface (3a) of the other roller. The annular disc is divided into a number of ring sectors (5) over its circumference, each individually biased by springs towards the end surface (3a) of the other roller (3). Hence, it is possible to maintain the grinding bed thickness at the ends of the rollers, thereby attaining a uniform pressure distribution across the rollers, as well as uniform grinding efficiency and uniform wear on the rollers.

Title: Optical fiber assemblies having relatively low-levels of water-swellable powder and methods therefor
Inventor: BRINGUIER ANNE G
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2008-06-20
Granted: 2014-09-30
Abstract: Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies having at least one optical fiber and a water-swellable powder within a tube and/or cavity and methods for making the same. Fiber optic assemblies of the present invention use relatively low-levels of water-swellable powder while still effectively blocking the migration of tap water and/or saline solutions of 3% by weight along the tube and/or cavity. Furthermore, cleaning of the optical fibers is not necessary before connectorization like with conventional fiber optic cables that use a gel or grease. Generally speaking, at least some of the water-swellable powder is transferred to the inside surface of the tube, cavity, optical fiber or the like; rather, than being a loose powder that is able to migrate within the tube or cavity.  Moreover, the existence of water-swellable powder within the fiber optic assembly or cable is nearly transparent to the craft since relatively low-levels are used.
