Patent EP-0310298-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NORRIS STEPHEN GUY
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 1988-09-22
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining tank contents employs processing means for comparing sensing outputs (e.g. derived from a liquid level sensor (4)) with metering outputs (e.g. derived from a volumetric totaliser connected to a dispenser (2)) in order to determine errors in the sensing outputs and thereby to provide a corrected calibration characteristic. In the preferred embodiment (which applies to a storage tank (1) containing petroleum), the calibration characteristic is refined, in stages, by applying incremental changes to a conversion factor used in determining data values related to the sensing output and by computing correlations to determine an optimum calibration characteristic. A corrected calibration characteristic (stored in a PROM) may be subsequently employed in equipment for displaying tank contents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drain manhole comprising a preferably corrugated pipe (1), in the wall of which openings are formed for connection to piping (36) and at the lower part of which a weight is disposed for increasing the stability. According to the invention, the weight takes the form of a ballast arrangement which is separated from the pipe (1) and can be attached to the latter. The said ballast arrangement may take the form of a chamber (3) which can be filled with liquid or bulkable solid ballast material and is formed on or can be attached to the underside of the pipe. The ballast material is preferably a bulk material and/or a liquid. Consequently, the time-consuming filling with concrete, which was necessary hitherto in the production of drain manholes, is eliminated and the transportation of the pipes is easier as they do not contain, as hitherto, a concrete weight from the very outset. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An operating force controlling device comprises a pair of reactive force mechanisms (70, 70′) disposed in an opposing relationship to each other in the direction of operation of an operating lever (60). A load pressure of a motor (30) is detected by a detecting means (91, 91′), and a controlling signal is outputted from a controller (90) in response to the load pressure. A pilot pressure is outputted from an electromagnetic proportional pressure reducing valve (80) in response to the control signal. The pilot pressure is inputted into one of chambers of the reactive force mechanisms (70, 70′) which moves a rod (72, 72′) to project to apply an operation reactive force to the lever (60). The operation reactive force is controlled such that the rate of change thereof may be high when the load pressure of the motor (30) is low but may be low when the load pressure is high. A plurality of control patterns wherein the rate of change of the operation reactive force to the load pressure is different from each other are set to a controller. As an operator senses a change of the operation reactive force with a hand which is operating the lever (60), a change of the load pressure is sensed and initiation of movement of a   suspended cargo is sensed.

Abstract: A clamping device is provided in the form of a one-­piece cable tie. The cable tie (20) includes a band section (22) having a free end (24) for positioning about an object to be constrained, such as an electrical cable, and a buckle section (32) through which the free end (24) of the band section (22) is inserted. In a preferred embodiment, the buckle section (32) includes a first portion (34) operatively connected to the band and terminating adjacent a slot (36). A second, raised portion (38) of the buckle section (32) is longitudinally or horizontally offset from the first portion (34). The second portion (38) extends from a point adjacent the afore­mentioned slot (36) to a free end. The width of the slot occupied by the band is greater when the band is loosely wrapped about the object constrained. The greater width of the slot when the band is loosely wrapped facilitates single or multiple wrappings of the object constrained. Any gaps between the band the object constrained are reduced by positioning only the first portion (34) of the buckle section (32) adjacent the object thereby improving clamping. Lips are also provided on the buckle section to accommodate positioning of the buckle section (32) in a grooved area formed in the object being constrained. The cable tie is preferably made by a machining process in which buckle sections (32) are alternately formed on opposing sides of a sheet of metal material to enhance the use of the material and avoid waste.
