Filed: 1992-11-30
Abstract: L'invention se rapport à deux possibilités de mode de réalisation (Figs. 1 et Figs. 5) d'un double système de vannes de dérivation d'un système fermé du type réfrigerant permettant un entretien sans risque, le premier système étant inclus dans la fabrication d'origine du compresseur, précisément dans la conduite de sortie du réfrigérant du compresseur (Fig. 4), et le second système ayant été installé après coup sur le compreseur et ménagé "en ligne" dans la conduite du liquide réfrigérant. Le premier comprend un bloc possédant deux vannes (1, 2) et un orifice (5) avec un passage transversal interne (3). Le second comprend deux vannes espacées (26 et 27), structurellement indépendantes, reliées par une pièce en T à la conduite de liquide réfrigéant, formant une dérivation entre les deux vannes. L'invention se rapporte également à deux procédés permettant d'introduire un système fermé pour le tester, le charger et le retirer, un processus à vide pour faire le vide dans tout le système et en même temps l'une et l'autre de ses parties hautes et basses, et de stocker et transférer le refrigérant du système.

Title: Method and apparatus for charging, thawing, and formatting a battery
Inventor: PODRAZHANSKY YURY
IPC: H01M10/44
Filed: 1993-01-19
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for rapidly charging a battery. The preferred charging method comprises applying one or more charging pulses (C1, C2), separated by a waiting period (CW1), with the last charging pulse, if there are more than one, being followed by a second waiting period (CW2). This is then followed by a series of discharging pulses (D1, D2, D3), which are separated by waiting periods (DW1, DW2), and followed by a last waiting period (DW3) before the occurrence of the next charging pulse (C1). The discharging pulses preferably have a magnitude which is approximately the same as the magnitude of the charging pulses but which have a duration which is substantially smaller than the duration of the charging pulses. The discharging pulses serve to create and disperse ions throughout the electrolyte of the battery so that the ions do not shield the plates of the battery from further charge transfer. Multiple discharge pulses are used rather than a single discharging pulse so that natural chemical and electrical gradients within the battery will serve to disperse the ions more evenly throughout the electrolyte. The use of discharging pulses of an extremely small duration does not cause any significant discharge of the battery but does increase the rate at which the battery can be charged and the efficiency with which the battery can be charged, thereby minimizing charging time and battery heating. Also disclosed are a method and an apparatus for thawing and charging a frozen battery, for formatting a new battery, for determining the state of formation of a battery, and for determining the state of charge of a battery.

Abstract: A diverging shell antenna fed by waveguide supplying TE₁₁ mode is described. A dielectric rod (46) partially contained within the waveguide (36) converts the TE₁₁ mode to a dominant or HE₁₁ mode. The HE₁₁ mode is controllably converted to second and third order modes in the diverging shell (30) by discontinuities (54) placed in predetermined locations in the diverging shell. The discontinuities (50,52) generating the second mode are incorporated into the dielectric rod structure (46). Turning of the relative amplitude and phase of the second and third order modes relative to the HE₁₁ mode is achieved by slideably positioning the dielectric rod (46). An alternative embodiment of the inventive device includes a reactive surface of the diverging shell.

Abstract: To scan indicia on items moving through a predetermined space, without having to manually orient each item so that the indicia faces in a specified direction, a plurality of optical scan units are arranged around the predetermined space. Each scan unit emits light along a different path and receives light reflected from a surface of any item moving along the conveyor. As a result, the scan heads have different lines of sight and fields of view, and the system nominally scans a plurality of different optimal planes oriented to correspond to item surfaces expected to most often bear the indicia. In some embodiments, optical fibers connect the scan units to a central control unit. In such embodiments, the central control unit houses both a laser light generator and a photodetector, and the optical fibers carry the generated laser light to the scan units and carry the reflected light from the scan units back to the photodetector. Circuitry in the central control analyzes signals produced by the photodetector to derive information represented by the optically encoded indicia.
