Abstract: The device has radiation barrier sensors detecting an object and a movement element and outputting signals depending on a detection. An evaluation unit evaluates signals of the sensors, and generates a switch-off signal on a basis of the evaluation. The unit acquires currently detected state vector from a set of state vectors, which unambiguously comprise combinations of the signals of the sensors from the sensors, and generates the switch-off signal in a case of predetermined state vectors. The unit determines the state vectors predetermined for generation of the switch-off signal. The sensor is selected from the group consisting of interrupted light barrier sensor, reflected light barrier sensor and time-of-flight sensor. An independent claim is also included for a closing device.

Title: Method and device for spraying concrete
IPC: E04F21/12
Filed: 1979-09-07
Granted: 1982-04-28
Abstract: To reduce the impact velocity of the concrete mass upon a surface, such as a wall, a branch line is arranged at the concrete conveying hose and at a point removed from the spraying nozzle. The branch line is intended to carry compressed air and opens into the surroundings. This branch line has a valve for regulating the quantity of compressed air which is to be withdrawn. By means of the branch or withdrawal line there is appreciably reduced the rebound of the concrete mass at the wall. The concrete mixture is initially pre-moistened to a constant moisture content before it arrives along the spraying or injection path and at the spraying or injection nozzle there is added thereto a constant residual water quantity. This method affords a continuously constant water content and renders possible reduced pressure of the conveying air since the concrete mixture is only pre-moistened at the conveying path.

Abstract: n adjustment means for variable height adjustment of hydraulically or pneumatically operable supports, e.g. legs on tables, chairs, beds etc. The object of the invention is to provide a simple and reliable adjustment means for simultaneously rising and lowering all supports and for separately adjusting each of said supports to suit the contour of the floor surface or similar. This has been achieved by arranging pressure chambers (13) in the housing (11) of the adjustment means (10), the number corresponding to the number of supports, each pressure chamber having a piston (14), which by way of an adjusting screw (15) cooperates with a driving nut (16), which is unrotatably but axially displaceably arranged in the housing. The driving nut is displaced by means of a threaded spindle (17) which is rotatably but undisplaceably mounted in the housing.

Granted: 1983-07-20
Abstract: A device for transferring pieces, in particular metal keys, from an infeed station (25) to an operating and discharge station (26) has a turret (1) that comprises a tubular member able to rotate around an axis (A) perpendicular to the transfer plane of the keys (5), the upper part of which extends horizontally to form a support and guide element (20) for a movable carriage (13), provided with a clamping device (17) that withdraws a key (5) from an infeed station (25) and transfers it to an operating and discharge station (26). An operating system exerts an effect on the turret (1) and causes, first of all the rotation just of the support element (20) from the infeed station (25) to the operating station (26), with the carriage (13) in a position of maximum retraction and, subsequently, the maximum advancement of the carriage (13) up to the working position, and once this has been done, the operating system causes the carriage (13) to retract again and this discharges the machined key (5). To conclude, the operating system causes the support element (20) to rotate in the opposite direction up to the infeed station (25), thereby giving rise to a fresh cycle.

Title: Combustion air flow control apparatus for combustion gas users
IPC: F23N1/02
Filed: 1981-03-04
Granted: 1984-04-11
Abstract: A burner having an air intake at atmospheric pressure, a gas (fuel) supply line and a combustion chamber in which gas from the latter line burns in the presence of atmospheric air drawn in from the intake, is provided with a swingable or rotatable flap-type valve member which controls the volume rate of flow of the air to the combustion site. According to the invention, the position of the valve member is controlled by a parameter generated by the air stream and in response to the pressure in the gas supply line to maintain the air factor (ratio of air to gas) substantially constant. To this end a membrane type pressure detector responds to the pressure in the gas supply line and is connected by a mechanical force transmission mechanism to the flap or other valve element.

Abstract: The grinding and polishing machine has a tool-carrying spindle (1) driven with a combined rotating and rocking action. It has a driving shaft (4) which is reciprocated axially and passes through a disc (8) which slopes at an acute angle. Above this disc is a second disc attached to the shaft, with a roller (5) attached to its periphery which rotates against the sloping disc. The tool spindle also passes through another sloping disc and through a plate (12) with a peripheral roller (16) which travels against this second sloping disc. The tool spindle carries an arm (13) with a dog projecting from it to fit into a hole in the plate to rotate the same. This plate also has a dog (14) which fits into a hole (15) in the disc attached to the driving shaft so that it transmits rotary movement for driving the tool spindle.

Abstract: Method for detecting irregular combustion phenomena in an engine, method wherein a sensor senses a characteristic parameter of the combustions cycle, for example the pressure, the luminosity in the combustion chamber, the noise, etc. The sensor signal is integrated in a predetermined angular run of the crank shaft or in a time interval of the combustion cycle and compared with an integral obtained in a preceeding cycle. By confronting consecutive cycles, it is possible to monitor, if an increase of the signal occurs, exceeding a given threshold in normal operation, thereby indicating the beginning of an irregular combustion, or if a signal decrease occurs exceeding a predetermined value during an irregular combustion, thereby indicating the end of such irregular combustion.

Abstract: By means of electrons (7) of high energy produced by a semiconductor cathode (3), population inversion is obtained in an active layer (13) of a laser structure (11). In this manner, laser action is obtained, which offers advantages especially with II-VI materials which emit radiation of a wavelength shorter than the usual III-IV materials, and which do not permit the desired population inversion to be obtained in the same manner as in III-V materials, by means of current injection across a pn junction. The semiconductor cathode (3) and the laser structure (2,11) can be both arranged in mutual separation in a vacuum tube (5) or be realized in one semiconductor body. The short-wave laser is especially advantageous for CD, DOR and VLP applications.
