Title: High speed infrared/convection dryer
Inventor: ROGNE ALLAN W
IPC: F26B3/28
Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: A combination infrared/convection dryer or oven for drying travelling webs. A shutter assembly is provided between the infrared radiation source and the moving web in order to selectively expose the web to infrared radiation. Drying efficiency is optimized by adding heated impinged air at high velocity on the machine direction ends and between the infrared elements. The air being discharged on the web is heated as it is pulled across the elements to a centralized return air duct. The return air is pulled into the inlet of a close coupled supply fan which then discharges the air to the nozzles. A portion of the air is also exhausted to atmosphere to maintain the oven enclosure in a negative pressure state, thus drawing fresh make-up air into the oven housing through the web inlet and outlet slots. Flotation nozzles can be used where contactless support of the running web is desired. Enhanced drying of the web and/or a coating on the web at high speed is achieved without a concomitant increase in dryer length.

Title: Rain responsive windshield wiper control
Inventor: TEDER REIN S
IPC: B60S1/08
Filed: 1990-12-13
Abstract: A control circuit for a windshield wiper motor is disclosed in which the wiper motor is made automatically responsive to the presence of moisture droplets on the windshield causing the wiper blades to sweep back and forth at a rate dependent upon the level of precipitation encountered. By using a set of sample-and-hold circuits, bandpass filtering and a differential amplifier under microprocessor control, disturbances to the system due to changes in ambient light are linearly rejected and the system becomes immune to such disturbances. The system utilizes an intentional-retrigger algorithm enabling the system to detect water droplets that miss the sensor yet fall within the area of the windshield which is swept by the wiper blades. The system automatically adapts to windshields of differing transmittance and is not falsely set into action by electromagnetic disturbances.

Title: Device for singularizing healds for warp-thread drawing-in machines
Inventor: BENZ RICO
IPC: D03J1/14
Filed: 1991-02-15
Abstract: A heald singularizing system includes a selecting member (21) for the healds (LI) fed in the form of a stack (LS). The selecting member (21) separates the front-most heald (LI1) from the stack and makes it available for the drawing-in of the warp threads. The selecting member (21) is formed by a piston which can perform a stroke essentially transversely to the heald stack (LS), during which the heald (LI1) is displaced from the heald stack (LS) into an intermediate position (ZP). Transfer means (24) transfers the respective heald (LI1) from its intermediate position (ZP) to a transport unit (25) for taking it to its drawing-in position. All types of healds can be selected from the heald stack, and neither a special preparation of the healds nor the use of a special type of heald is necessary. The heald separation and the further removal are completely uncoupled, to permit the use of means optimally adapted to the individual functions and also to simplify considerably the rectification of faults.

Title: Active failure detection
Inventor: LORD CHRISTOPHER C
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1998-07-13
Abstract: Failures in a fault-tolerant computer system which includes two or more input/output processors connected to a data communication system are detected by monitoring data communication. The computer system is able to detect failures associated with a primary input/output processor, as well as with a standby input/output processors, and is also able to discriminate between failures of the input/output processors and communication failures in the data communication network itself. In addition to using heartbeat-like transmissions, various other categories of data communication are also used to detect failures. The system is able to detect failures when the input/output processors are on a common network segment, allowing the processors to monitor identical data traffic, as well as when the processors are on different segments where, as a result of filtering behavior of network elements such as active hubs, the processors may not be able to monitor identical data traffic.
