Title: Synchronous drive apparatus with non-circular drive elements
Inventor: GAJEWSKI WITOLD
IPC: F16H57/00
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: A synchronous drive apparatus and method, wherein the apparatus comprises a plurality of rotors comprising at least a first and a second rotor. The first rotor (11) has a plurality of teeth (16) for engaging the engaging sections (15) of an elongate drive structure (10), and the second rotor (12) has a plurality of teeth (16) for engaging the engaging section of the elongate drive structure. A rotary load assembly (26) is coupled to the second rotor (12). The elongate drive structure (10) engages about the first and second rotors. The first rotor is arranged to drive the elongate drive structure and the second rotor is arranged to be driven by the elongate drive structure. One of the rotors has a non-circular profile (19) having at least two protruding portions alternating with receding portions. The rotary load assembly is such as to present a periodic fluctuating load torque when driven in rotation, in which the angular positions of the protruding and receding portions of the non-circular profile relative to the angular position of the second rotor, and the magnitude of the eccentricity of the non-circular profile, are such that the non-circular profile applies to the second rotor an opposing fluctuating corrective torque which reduces or substantially cancels the fluctuating load torque of the rotary load assembly.

Title: Method and device for reducing web breakage in a web cutter
Inventor: WILLIAMS DANIEL J
IPC: B65H20/22
Filed: 2004-05-05
Abstract: In a web cutter where a blade is used to cut a continuous paper web into sheets, a tractor is used to move the web past the blade for cutting. The tractor operates in a start-and-stop cycle so that the web is temporarily stopped to allow the blade to lower and shear the web. The tractor accelerates in the next cycle to move another length of paper downstream from the blade. A high-speed cutter requires high acceleration of the tractor.  This acceleration force causes the web to whip up uncontrollably, causing the web to break or wrinkle. To reduce the web breakage, a moving mechanism positioned upstream from the tractor and operate a second motion cycle is used to hove the web toward the tractor such that a loop of paper is formed upstream of the tractor, thereby reducing the whipping action of the web.

Inventor: LAUNER STEFAN
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2004-08-24
Abstract: A method for adjusting a hearing device (1) is disclosed in which one of several hearing programs can be selected, as well as a hearing device system to perform the method The method comprises the steps of identifying a momentary acoustic surround situation and of arranging the selectable hearing programs according to the identified momentary acoustic surround situation. Therewith, the hearing device user is not obliged to know a predefined sequence of the selectable hearing programs, instead the hearing device user may easily select a hearing program which is regarded as the best one for the momentary acoustic situation. The selection is offered by the hearing device by analyzing the momentary acoustic situation. In addition, the hearing device user may easily select other hearing programs, namely by generating an activation signal, for example by pressing a button at the hearing device itself or at a remote control. For this, the automatic arrangement of the hearing programs in dependency of the momentary acoustic situation facilitates the selection dramatically.
