Inventor: SCHWEIZER WALTER DIPL ING
IPC: B61C9/10
Filed: 1963-08-22
Abstract: 1,037,429. Variable-ratio gearing. MAYBACH-MOTORENBAU G.m.b.H. Aug. 21, 1963 [Aug. 23, 1962], No. 33157/63. Heading F2D. A hydromechanical variable-ratio gear corn prises hydrodynamic torque converters 14, 16 connected in parallel and preceding a constantmesh spur gearing providing two forward and two reverse ratios. The common turbine shaft of the torque converters, which forms the input shaft of the spur gearing, can be braked by a hydrodynamic brake 44 to facilitate changing the ratio of the spur gearing. The transmission is particularly intended for diesel railway locomotives, the engine driving a shaft 10 geared to a shaft 13 driving the impellers of the converters 14, 16, the turbines of which are fast on a shaft 20 carrying the rotor 47 of the hydrodynamic brake 44. For the lowest speed range converter 14 is filled and converter 16 empty and drive is transmitted from the turbine shaft 20 through gears 22, 23, an engaged clutch 34, 35, gears 28, 27, an engaged clutch 42, 38 and gears 29, 31, 33 to a final output shaft 32. A second speed range is obtained by emptying converter 14 and filling converter 16, the ratio of the spur gearing being unchanged. To obtain third speed range, converter 14 is filled and converter 16 emptied, and clutch 34, 35 is disengaged and a clutch 36, 37 engaged so that the drive is transmitted from the shaft 20 through the engaged clutches 36, 37 and 42, 38 and through gears 29, 31, 33 to the output shaft. During this shift the hydrodynamic brake 44 is filled to slow the shaft 20 to facilitate engagement of the clutch 36, 37. All the clutches may be of a baulked dog type described in Specification 683,503. The top speed range is obtained on emptying converter 14 and filling converter 16. In a modification the converter 16 may be replaced by a hydrodynamic coupling. For reverse speeds clutch 38, 42 is disengaged and a clutch 39, 43 is engaged to clutch a gear 30 to the gear 28, the gear 30 meshing the gear 31 so that various speed ranges can be obtained by selectively filling converters 14, 16 and selectively engaging clutches 34, 35 and 36, 37.

Title: Arrangement for extracting air from the crankcase of a throttle-free i.c. engine
Inventor: WERNER PETER
IPC: F02B75/12
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: An arrangement for extracting air from the crankcase of a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine 1, has the following features: an air-extracting line 10 which extends from a cylinder head 3 of the internal combustion engine and opens out into an intake line 8 of the internal combustion engine 1, and a venturi device 11 which is intended for producing a negative pressure and is provided in the intake line 8 leading to the internal combustion engine. Upstream of the negative-pressure-producing device 11, as seen in the flow direction, an air-admitting line 14 branches off from the intake line 8 and opens out into the crankcase 2. The invention may be used in engines without throttles in which it is not possible to extract gases from the crankcase using the differential pressure at the throttle.
Patent GB-2352742-A (GB)
Title: Cable connector
Inventor: WATKINS BRUCE J
IPC: E21B19/00
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: The invention is for a connector for use in supporting a riser from cables which extend about sheaves intermediate the riser and a tensioning device located on a floating rig above a subsea wellhead to which the lower end of the riser is to be anchored. The connector allows the wear point on the cable where it passes over the sheave to be changed from time to time. The cable C passes though the body 16 of the connector 10 and also though a piston 25 that is inside the connector. The piston has upper 25A and lower 25C reduced section ends that form chambers by which the piston is operated. There are also upper slips 22A and lower slips 32A which grip the cable sequentially. With the piston in the upper position, as in fig 3, the upper slips are engaged with the cable to support the connector and thus the riser therefrom. When the piston is moved to its lower position the lower slips grip the cable to lower it with the piston and thus move its wear point on the sheave. However, the upper slips 22A continue to grip the cable sufficiently tightly to support the connector and riser. In this regard, the large piston area of chamber UPC applies a relatively large force to be applied to the cable to lower it through the upper slips, while raising of the piston requires relatively small force from pressure supplied to the lower chamber LPC. In an alternative embodiment, the upper slips are moved upwardly not only in response to tension applied to the cable, but also in response to it being lifted by an upper within the connector.

Title: Method of Controlling a Laser in a WDM Application
Inventor: BUTLER GRAHAM
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: A method of controlling a laser (10 , Figure 1) in a WDM application prior to the power up or power down operation on the laser comprises, setting an attenuation factor of an attenuator (28, Figure 1) which is operative to attenuate the output of the laser to a high-value. Preferably, in any power up routine, following the setting of the attenuation factor to a maximum value 103, the laser current is increased to a desired operating level. When an operating wavelength of the laser has settled to a given value or has come to within a given tolerance of a given value, the attenuation factor is reduced to a normal working level 100. Preferably, in the power down routine, following the setting of the attenuation factor to a high-value 101, the laser current is reduced to a substantially zero level 102. The laser may be used in a DWDM application. Alternatively, a method of controlling a laser in a WDM application (Figures 1 and 3) comprises establishing a predetermined laser temperature, controlling the laser current to give the wavelength of operation substantially equal to a desired wavelength and establishing a predetermined laser output power.
