Abstract: A rotary blasthole drilling apparatus comprises a rotary blasthole drill and a drill automation control system. The apparatus includes a pull-down motor and a drill motor. The pull-down motor is driven by a pump to provide a pull-down force to a drill string, and the drill motor is used to provide rotary force to rotate a drill bit of the drill string. The drill automation control system includes a number of functional components including a user interface. Through the user interface, an operator sets a rotary torque set point that determines an amount of torque applied to the drill bit by the drill motor. The control system further includes a detector, for detecting pressure in the pump during a drilling operation, and a processor, which is operative under the control of a program stored therein and responsive to the rotary torque set point and signals from the pull-down pressure sensor for generating an error signal. The error signal is applied to a proportional control valve for modulating the pull-down pressure to provide a substantially constant torque to the system. The rotary torque set point may be varied as a function of one or more of the following external factors: excessive mast vibration, bit air pressure or bit plunge.

Patent DE-1936527-B2 (DE)
Title: Ceramic pipes vacuum press forming - vertical forming augers below horizontal feed auger improve efficiency
IPC: B28B21/52
Filed: 1969-07-18
Abstract: The ceramic mass is fed by auger and then is subject to mixing and pre-pressing by auger prior to entry into the tapered down nozzle where a wedge divides the flow into two streams. The latter are guided by connectors to main pressing chambers with vertical extruder augers. The latter rotate in a split housing where one half is held stationary while the other half is hinged. This allows the removal of the one formed tube while the other one is being extruded, and thus the machine operates continuously. The drive of the multiple-pass extruder press is ensured by motor and gear while clutch protects the preliminary mixing and pressing auger. The latter does not reach the tapered nozzle where the ceramic mass forms an effective slip seal in front of the connecting channels leading to the vertical extruders.

Title: Electric charge dispersing system for helicopter - has sensors to measure built-up charge in opposite potential locations, with neutralising electrodes having conical or wedge-shaped bodies
IPC: B64D45/02
Filed: 1971-10-05
Abstract: The system for dispersing electric charges from helicopters, uses the principle of measuring PD between aircraft and surrounding atmosphere and releasing a corona discharge at corresponding but opposite potential into an adjacent high velocity flow zone. That difference is measured in two opposite-potential locations (1, 2), the difference value between the measurements being used as basic mean for countering purposes. The counter-potetial, higher than that of the aircraft, is released via conical or wedge shaped fittings with conductors in the downstream-facing base, and so as to envelop the fuselage.

Title: Elastomeric stator helical screw type pump - has outer pressure on stator produced by layer of hard balls
IPC: F04C2/107
Filed: 1972-01-21
Abstract: The pump has an adjustable, elastomeric stator (1) with an internal core in the form of a helix (2). The stator is surrounded by a pressure ring (3) formed from a series of longitudinal dovetail segments which can slide over each other to reduce the diameter and increase the compression on the stator. This ring is surrounded by an outer casing (8) leaving an annular space (11) between them. The space is filled with hard metallic balls (12) packed tightly to produce a pressure on the pressure ring (3). An adjusting screw (13) in one end piece (10) can push the balls into a smaller volume and thus increase the pressure. A large number of small balls distributes the pressure as effectively as a liquid but is easier to handle.

Filed: 1991-02-15
Granted: 1996-05-29
Abstract: The substantially leak proof glazing system comprises a plurality of panels (10), each of which comprises a sheet of glass surrounded by a frame. The frame is formed of two angle members along each edge of the sheet which are slightly shorter than the edge of the sheet so that there is an open diagonal gap at the corner of the panel which leaves the corner open for receiving sealant. A resilient bezel (33) is between each outer angle member and the outer surface of the corresponding sheet. The balance of the space between the edge of the sheet and the angle members is filled with a silicone sealant (35) applied wet and cured in place. Channels in the faces of the bezel permit the detection of gas leakage through the seals. The glazing system has a generally U-shaped bond breaker (51) covering a portion of the supporting structure. A quantity of silicone sealant is bonded between the edges of adjacent panels and the bond breaker, forming a substantially air tight seal (67) between the panels. The bond breaker provides a surface which the sealant will not adhere to. The outer legs of the bond breaker are sinuous in transverse cross-section and elastically engage the supporting member and adjacent frames. <IMAGE>

Patent JP-S6223879-B2 (JP)
IPC: G10L13/02
Filed: 1980-03-05
Abstract: A speech synthesis circuit is provided with a variable frame length data converter and the speech synthesizer is preferably integrated on an integrated circuit chips. The variable frame length data converter reduces the amount of data required to synthesizer human speech at a given quality level. Preferably, a full frame of data includes, a pitch parameter, an energy parameter, a repeat bit and a plurality of speech coefficients. Each parameter or coefficient has a preselected length, but each frame has a variable number of parameters or coefficients associated therewith. The parameters and coefficients are encoded and a particular code of the pitch parameter indicates that the speech is to be unvoiced. An unvoiced frame includes fewer coefficients that a voiced frame and the converter detects this particular pitch parameter and automatically sets the unsent coefficients to zero. The converter also detects the state of the repeat bit for controlling the synthesizing to use the coefficients received during the previous frame as the coefficient to be used to generate speech in response to the present frame. In this embodiment, when the repeat bit comes up, new pitch and energy parameters are inputted therewith. Further, the converters preferably detects particular codes in the energy parameter for determining when a pause occurs or when the last frame of data has been sent.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the system capable of enhancing safety, prolonging road surface repairing cycle and suppressing the running cost of road equipments by setting positions in the width direction of a traveling lane so as to distribute tire passing positions of vehicles traveling the lane. SOLUTION: When a vehicle provided with a mobile station acting as a management station travels on the center of a traveling lane, the management station instructs normal stations 1 to 4 on deviations (hereafter referred to as offsets) from the center of the lane to the lateral direction. The reference unit of an offset is set up to 20 cm to be the width of a tire. The vehicle provided with a mobile station acting as the normal station 1 is allowed to have an offset of 20 cm (one unit) from an advancing direction to the right. A vehicle provided with the normal station 2 is allowed to have an offset of 20 cm to the left side. Consequently the width direction positions of the traveling lane are resultantly dispersed and the positions of tires passing the lane are dispersed.
