Title: Casting gate for linear and symmetrie axial displacement
IPC: B22D41/08
Filed: 1989-04-10
Granted: 1993-03-03
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR89/00163 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 13, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 13, 1990 PCT Filed Apr. 10, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO89/10812 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 16, 1989.The invention relates to a device for pouring molten metals, such as steel. a nozzle (2), known as the inner nozzle, of refractory material; a round fixed plate (3) provided with an axial hole coinciding with the hole in the nozzle (2), and made of refractory material; a round movable plate (4) provided with a central hole having an axis (23), and made of refractory material; a nozzle (5), known as the collector nozzle, fastened to the movable plate (4), of refractory material and intended to stabilize the deflected stream. The movable plate (4) can undergo displacement (17) along a straight or any other line, in such a manner as to close the hole in the fixed plate (3) to a greater or lesser extent. The movable plate (4) is also pivotable about its axis (23). The symmetrical shape of the various refractory members relative to their apertures, through which the metal passes at high temperature, imparts to the whole arrangement optimum characteristics of expansion and resistance to thermal shocks. Finally, the pivotability of the plate (4), and also optionally of the plate (3), about their respective axes makes it possible to distribute the wear on the holes symmetrically and to reduce the amplitude of the displacements (17).

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the mounting of panes or windshields in a frame, particularly to the mounting of panes or windshields of a vehicle, e.g. an automobile, in the body frame work. The invention provides a pane or windshield ready to be mounted comprising, along its edges, a first profiled bead of adhesive material, already cured and being elastic but not plastically deformable. The first bead comprises an essentially closed hollow chamber and in its interior a second bead of plastically deformable not yet cured adhesive material consisting of a substance chemically compatible to the material of the first bead. The second bead, serving as the real adhesive material, is protected from environmental influences without the need to remove a cover foil or a packing prior to mounting the window.

Title: Real time adaptive round discrimination fire sensor
IPC: G08B17/12
Filed: 1988-10-11
Granted: 1993-07-28
Abstract: A fire detection system discriminates between a HEAT round that does not initiate a secondary fire and a HEAT round which does initiate a secondary fire. The system of the invention measures the peak intensity of a penetrating HEAT round in order to determine a secondary threshold level which is subsequently utilized to detect a resulting hydrocarbon fire. Also, the system performs a statistical analysis of the slope of the round thermal signature to determine if a secondary fire may be occurring.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de mélanger deux gaz dans des proportions ajustables avec précision. Bien que l'on connaisse depuis un certain temps les avantages de l'utilisation d'un mélange gazeux d'azote et de dioxyde de carbone pour distributeurs de bière à la pression, l'on a rencontré des difficultés pour élaborer un dispositif précis, fiable et peu coûteux permettant de mélanger les gaz dans les proportions correctes. L'appareil comprend un sous-ensemble (20) de mélange ajustable mécaniquement, adapté pour recevoir le premier gaz à une pression prédéterminée, ainsi qu'un relais pneumatique (18) à compensation de forces dans un rapport 1 pour 1, lequel est actionné par le premier gaz (14) et mesure l'écoulement du second gaz dans le sous-ensemble de mélange à une pression sensiblement égale à celle du premier gaz amené au sous-ensemble de mélange.

Abstract: A resting surface for beds comprises flexibly mounted, interspaced parallel slats (17), the front faces of which are mounted in support elements (22) slidingly arranged on lateral parts (2, 3) of the bed. The lower surface of each support element (22) rests on several superimposed straps (7, 7a). This ensures progressive resilience when the support element (22) moves vertically. The resting surface thus provides excellent, well-sprung comfort and adapts readily to the profile of the body. Even the heaviest bodies do not move the corresponding support elements as far as the limit stop, which would result in a loss of resilience. Being progressive, resilience is guaranteed even when the total body weight is applied to the resting surface at a single point.

Abstract: A five-layer coating, commonly called a "stack", for glass windows in order to control the proportion of solar radiation permitted to pass through the window, the remainder being reflected by the coating, while maintaining a desired visible light characteristic transmission. Particularly, the technique is applied to vehicle glass windows, such as truck and automobile windshields, where the amount of solar radiation allowed to pass into the vehicle through the window is minimized within the constraints of maintaining visible light transmission above a certain legal level. The characteristics of the coating are also selected for visible light reflected from the window to the outside to be a substantially neutral color, highly desirable for the overall appearance of trucks and automobiles.

Abstract: Starch separators are described for waste water. The water required for the spray nozzle (15) provided on the inlet side for precipitating the sludge is removed, according to the invention, from a point which lies outside the cross-sectional area of the settling tank (11) in the flow stream, preferably in the outlet shaft (12) for clear water, separated by a submerged wall, or in a compartment (20) attached at the side of this. The water removed from there is suitable for the destruction of foam, and the consumption of drinking water is avoided. <IMAGE>

Title: At least sliding wing of a window, door or the like
IPC: E05D15/10
Filed: 1990-12-19
Granted: 1993-03-10
Abstract: When a wing (1) is composed of plastic or aluminium sectional bars or at least its lower end consists of such a sectional bar and there is mounted so as to rest on it a fitting part carrying at least one running roller (6), by means of which it can be displaced along a fixed running rail (7), this leads to a lateral offset of the support point of the wing (1) relative to the vertical plane with the centre of gravity of the element. This gives rise, solely as a result of the weight of the wing (1), to forces which may warp or twist the lower transverse spar (4). So that the functional capacity of the fitting part (5) can nevertheless be guaranteed, according to the invention a reinforcing plate (14) is attached, for example screwed, to the underside of the lower wing transverse spar (4). The fitting part (5) is screwed at least partially to this reinforcing plate (14). Because the latter is located immediately behind the wing overlap (12) subjectable to comparatively little load, the reinforcing plate ensures not only in general a reinforcement of the profile cross-section, but also a firm support of the wing overlap. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An on channel frequency agile PLL demodulator is provided using a precise and stable oscillator (82), such as a VCXO having its output frequency variable over a limited range. The output of the oscillator is multiplied (84) by a multiplication factor to produce a mixing frequency. The multiplication factor scales the limited range of the oscillator to produce a proportionate mixing frequency deviation. A frequency synthesizer (90) is used to enable the demodulator to detect signals on different channels. In one embodiment, the output of the frequency synthesizer (90) is mixed with the scaled oscillator output to provide a mixing frequency (fn) having a fixed deviation for all channels.

The system includes a group of first level controllers and a group of second level controllers. The first level controllers and the second level controllers work together such that if one of the second level controllers fails, the routing between the first level controllers and the memory devices is switched to a properly functioning second level controller without the need to involve the computer in the rerouting process. The logical configuration of the memory devices remain constant. The invention also includes switching circuitry which permits a functioning second level controller to assume control of a group of memory devices formerly primarily contolled by the failed second level controller. In addition, the invention provides error check and correction as well as mass storage device configuration circuitry.
