Patent EP-1017580-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RUTHERFORD ROBERT B
IPC: B64D15/14
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: A thermal de-ice and anti-ice system for aircraft surfaces employs a laminate in which flexible expanded graphite foil (20) is an electrical and heat conducting layer (22) that is disposed below an outer heat conducting layer (24), with an electrically insulating layer below the graphite layer. The flexible expanded graphite layer requires about three times less wattage than known resistance heating pad thermal systems to achieve de-ice and/or anti-ice temperatures. The temperature of the surface is controlled by varying the power supplied to the flexible expanded graphite layer of the laminate in response to a real time temperature value transmitted to a power control.

Title: Device for centrifuging viscous fluids
Inventor: SCHNAUSE ROLF
IPC: B04B1/20
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to devices for centrifuging viscous liquids, especially viscous plastic melts, and to a shearing device in addition to a method for shearing viscous fluids, especially viscous plastic melts, wherein the viscosity of the fluid is reduced considerably by mechanical force before the centrifugal stage in a shearing device (30) in order to provide economical centrifuging of viscous fluids. In order to reduce viscosity, the fluid is subjected to a shearing force between a rotating inner part (31) and a stationary outer part (32) in a shearing channel (33) inside the shearing device (30) so that the impurities in the high viscous fluid can be eliminated in the centrifuging stage (54) in an economical manner. The impurities of the fluid in the centrifuging stage (54) are eliminated from the centrifuging device by means of a conveyor worm (51) using centrifugal force in a direction opposite to the flow of the cleaned fluid along the outer covering of the centrifuge.

Abstract: A dual action buckle (20) which employs a cable tightening action and a strap tensioning action to tighten two separate portions of a boot, notably a snowboard boot (10). Thus, the boot (10) may be tightened around the foot and/or particular functionalities of the boot (10) may be engaged to a preset condition with one simple buckle closing action. During rest periods when the applied tightening and/or functionalities are not needed, they may be deactivated with one simple buckle opening action, giving relief to the foot, greater ease of walking, etc. The invention includes a primary lever (26), a secondary lever (32) pivotally connected to the primary lever (26) and a pulley (42). The pulley (42) acts to double the cable retraction action of the secondary lever (32). This allows the dual action buckle (20) to be made much smaller than would otherwise be the case.

Abstract: The invention is based on the synchronization and training preambles. The optimizes
sequence is very suitable to generate a preamble or a part (also called field) of it by
mapping the sequence to the appropriate subcarriers of a OFDM symbol with a FFT
size of 64. The benefit of the invention is the improved timing accuracy when the
autocorrelation result in the B-FIELD is used for synchronization. The time domain
structures of the preambles according to the prior art are not changed according to the
invention. The advantages of the present invention can be summarized as follows:
The invention proposes an OFDM based synchronization symbol with a low peak-to-average-power-ratio
and a small dynamic range,
     the synchronization performance (timing accuracy compared to current preambles) is
improved,   the specified time domain preamble structures according to the prior art are not
modified, and   no extra complexity is needed.

Abstract: A nipper of a combing machine usable either for "feeding while
detaching" also called "backward feed" and for "feeding before
detaching" also called "forward feed", comprises a ratchet system
(6, 7, 16, 17) for activating a feed roll (5). This ratchet system
consists of a ratchet gear (6) attached to the feed roll (5), one or
two ratchet levers (7, 16), one of them with a spring (9) pushing
said ratchet lever (7) against said ratchet gear (6), a guide plate
(11) fixed to the lower nipper, a pin (10) fixed to the ratchet
lever (7), wherein said guide plate and said pin (10) cooperage that
the upper nipper may be opened for cleaning and maintaining the feed
roll (5) and closed afterwards in a proper way which allows for
immediate restart of the comber without any further action. The
change from one feed system to the other is achieved by an exchange
of the backward feed ratchet gear (6) to forward feed ratchet gear
(17) - and vice versa - thus either the one or the other lever (7,
16) is engaged with ratchet gear (6, 17). The described mechanism
might be either used as an upgrade for combers already in operation
or as enhancement of newly built combers.
