Filed: 1990-10-17
Abstract: A tune detecting circuit that is used, for example, for an FM radio receiver and that has the function of detecting the mute band. The tune detecting circuit helps solve the problem related to setting a band ratio of the tune detecting band to the non-mute band. For this purpose, a resistor for setting a band to be detected is provided between an end of a capacitor that removes AC signals included in the FM detect signals and an end of the power source that supplies reference power source. An input terminal of a first buffer circuit is connected to a point where the resistor and the capacitor are connected together, and an input terminal of a second buffer circuit is connected to a point where the resistor and the power source are connected together. A tuning band detector that detects the tuning band is connected to the output terminals of the first and second buffer circuits. A detuned mute band detector that detects the detuned mute band is provided between any divided point of the resistor and an end of the power source. In response to an output signal from the detuned mute band detector, the mute circuit controls the gain of an amplifier that amplifies FM detect signals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a power take-off shaft coupling on an agricultural vehicle, especially a tractor, which is arranged between the power train of an engine and a take-off shaft stub (1) serving for driving mounted implements, the take-off shaft coupling (2) being engaged and disengaged via a hydraulic fluid conveyed by a pump (3) and via a randomly actuable control valve (4). The object on which the invention is based is to avoid critical operating states in the take-off shaft coupling, in the drive train of the engine and on the power take-off shaft, so that no increased wear or even destruction of the take-off shaft coupling can occur. This is achieved, according to the invention, in that an electronic evaluation unit (5) detects vehicle-specific values via sensors, evaluates them and actuates the control valve (4) additionally as a function of predetermined limit values. <IMAGE>

Inventor: MIOTTI GIOSUE
IPC: E02F3/20
Filed: 1991-02-01
Abstract: The milling cutters (3, 4) are suspended on pivot arms (15, 16). Those pivot arms (15, 16) are pivotably mounted to an intermediate support structure (18). The pivot axes (24) of the pivot arms (15, 16) extend perpendicularly to the axes of rotation (3, 4) of the milling cutters (3, 4). These pivot arms (15, 16) are operated by hydraulic actuators (20). Therefore, in operation the milling cutters (3, 4) will oscillate over the bottom of a trench (11) being excavated such that no center ridge remains at the bottom of the trench which would call for additional operational procedures in order to be removed. Furthermore, the intake (35) of the suction pipe (34) for the removing of the milled off matter by means of a slurry being circulated is located close to the zone where the milling takes place. Therefore, the efficiency of the circulated volume of the slurry regarding the volume of milled material taken along is much improved. Because the milling cutters (3, 4) can pivot, their thickness can be smaller in spite of covering the complete width of the trench being excavated. Accordingly, they can act with a much higher pressure per surface unit onto the ground, thus enabling the use of rock bits such that also hard rock can be milled.

Abstract: An assembly (10) by which to effect incremental adjustments to the end play, or preloading, to a bearing set (12). Relatively rotatable first and second rings (25 and 35) have contiguously juxtaposed and interacting ramp surfaces. In addition, the first ring is operatively secured to the housing (14) in which the bearing set is supported in such a manner as to preclude rotation of the first ring (25) with respect to the housing (14). A tang (30) presented from the first ring (25) may interact with a slot (31) in the housing (14) to secure the first ring (25) against rotation. The second ring (35) is selectively rotatable with respect to the first ring (25) to effect axial translation of the first ring (25) by virtue of the interaction between the opposed, contiguously juxtaposed ramp surfaces. A latch plate (40) may be disposed in proximity to the second ring (35), and a tang (41) is also operative between the latch plate (40) and the housing (14) to preclude rotation of the latch plate (40). A vernier locking means (45) is incrementally interactive between the latch plate (40) and the second ring (35) selectively to secure the second ring (35) against rotation and thereby secure the first ring (25) against axial translation.

Abstract: The solvent extraction of aromatics containing oil using a selective aromatics extraction solvent to produce an aromatics rich extract phase and an oil rich/aromatics lean raffinate is improved by the steps of subjecting the extract phase to a membrane separation step to produce a permeate phase and a retentate phase passing the retentate phase to a settling zone wherein the retentate phase spontaneously separates into two liquid phases, and recycling the upper phase to the extraction zone, either to the feed inlet or to the bottom of the extract reflux zone to thereby increase the raffinate oil recovered from the extraction tower. 
     Alternatively or in addition to the above, a side stream can be taken from an intermediate zone of the extraction zone (e.g. extraction tower) and fed to a membrane separation to produce a solvent rich permeate and an oil rich retentate. The solvent rich permeate is recycled while the oil rich retentate is fed to a settling zone wherein it will spontaneously separate into an oil rich pseudo raffinate upper phase which is recovered and into a solvent rich pseudo extract bottoms phase which is recycled to the solvent extraction zone, preferably at a point below that at which the side stream was withdrawn. 
     The membrane separation zone preferably employs interfacially polymerized membranes under reverse osmosis conditions.

Abstract: A large number of fluid flow generating plates (P, P₁, P 1a' , P 1b' , P₂, and P₃) arranged in parallel with gaps (CL) formed therebetween are rotated around an axial line (O-O) to cause movement of fluid such as air. For obtaining the most efficient movement of fluid dependently on only adhesion of flowing fluid to the plate, gaps (CL) between flow generating plates are set as described hereunder. A width of said gap (CL) is set to be twice as much as the intermediate value (c) of the distance between a flow generating plate surface in contact with the nearest fluid boundary layer (a) rotating almost together with a flow generating plate and a fluid boundary layer almost free of influence of a centrifugal force caused by a rotating flow generating plate. A gap (CL) is about 0.5 mm when fluid is air. The surface of a flow generating plate is made wavy for increasing efficency in generating flow of fluid.
