Abstract: Les systèmes corrélateurs optiques de la technique antérieure peuvent exécuter uniquement une translation ou une rotation. En outre, des images obtenues à partir de ces systèmes de la technique antérieure sont brouillées en raison des mouvements de la cible. Dans le système corrélateur optique actuel, on utilise, pour comparer des symboles sur une image particulière d'un film avec des symboles prédéfinis stockés dans une mémoire, un nouveau mécanisme d'entraînement qui permet à la fois une translation et une rotation du film. Ce mécanisme d'entraînement comporte un dispositif de translation (4) qui présente une pluralité d'engrenages et de rouleaux montés dans une plate-forme (36) à l'intérieur d'un logement (26) qui peut être rempli d'un fluide ayant un indice de réfraction correspondant à celui du film. Les moteurs (28, 30) sont couplés au logement pour permettre une translation et une rotation du mécanisme d'entraînement de sorte que des symboles choisis sur le film peuvent être comparés de manière à la fois linéaire et rotative avec des symboles prédéfinis. Le mécanisme d'entraînement peut également s'utiliser comme compensateur de mouvements d'image en vue d'éliminer le brouillage provoqué par les mouvements de la cible.

IPC: B01D53/04

Abstract: The purification of solvent-laden exhaust air is carried out, as is known, by means of at least two alternatively operated adsorption chambers (3, 3') in which an adsorbent (6, 6') carries a flow of the solvent-laden exhaust air during an adsorption phase and is regenerated during a desorption phase. The adsorbent (6, 6') is cooled during the adsorption phase and heated during the desorption phase. Simultaneous application of a vacuum reduces the boiling point of the solvent during the desorption. - A constructionally simple adsorption apparatus is to be proposed which manages with a single type of energy, namely electric current, for all the necessary physical processes and can be operated particularly economically.   For the alternating heating and cooling of the adsorbent (6, 6'), heat exchangers (7, 7') are arranged in each of the adsorption chambers (3, 3'); during the adsorption phase, the heat exchangers carry a flow of a cooled medium, preferably water, and of a heated medium, preferably also water, during the desorption phase. To assist the desorption process, special control valves (21, 21') are provided on the adsorption chambers (3, 3'), ambient air entering through the control valves during the desorption phase due to the vacuum applied and the flow through the adsorbent (6, 6') is counter-current to the exhaust air to be purified. The heat exchangers (7, 7') can be inserted into either an electrically heated warm-water circulation or a cooling-water circulation. An electrically operated refrigeration unit (29) maintains the cooling water at a low temperature and in addition cools, by a second refrigerant-circulation (31) a condenser (24) in which the gaseous solvent is condensed during the desorption phase. The field of application is the purification of exhaust air and the recovery of solvent contained therein. <IMAGE>

IPC: B66B1/18
Filed: 1989-07-27
Abstract: A method of assigning hall calls to a plurality of elevator cars which biases the assignment process to balance the number of cars serving up and down service directions. Prior to each call assignment update the method determines the number of cars serving each service direction (78, 80, 82). A predetermined relation­ship (88) between these two numbers is used to determine if up hall calls should be assigned first, or down hall calls (90, 92, 94, 96). The balancing of cars serving the two service directions lowers the average waiting time, and it results in dispersing the cars throughout a building when service subsides, to enable prompt service for newly entered calls without the necessity of moving the cars during periods of low service to be in position for new calls.

Abstract: In-line filter device including a first and a second filter disposed parallel with each other on a trap structure such that the filters communicate with a trap chamber defined in the trap structure, so that water and/or oil vapor contained in compressed air flowing through the first filter are coalesced into droplets, which are captured in the trap chamber, while any remaining liquid particles in the air are vaporized during passage through the second filter. The device has a reduced-pressure sump (42) in the bottom portion of the trap structure (32), and inlet holes (58) through which the captured liquid flows from the trap chamber into the sump such that an upper open end of the tube is positioned in a flow path of the air between the trap chamber and the second filter, for sucking the atmosphere in the sump toward the second filter. A draining device (60) is provided in the bottom portion of the sump, for discharging the liquid out of the sump.

Abstract: Dans la fabrication classique, l'épaisseur des tôles d'acier est souvent déterminée par la section métallique exigée au niveau des joints soudés. L'appareil et le procédé décrits permettent de résoudre ce problème en formant sélectivement un bord épaissi (12) le long du bord (14) d'une tôle d'acier plus fine (16) qui peut maintenant être limitée à l'épaisseur nécessaire pour résister aux contraintes lors du travail des tôles. On réalise le bord épaissi (12) en repoussant une tôle (16) supportée par une table (20), en faisant passer la tôle (16) à travers un appareil de formage (22) constitué d'une combinaison de cylindres. L'appareil de formage (22) et la table (20) sont automatiquement commandés pour produire un bord épaissi (12) de forme constante le long d'un bord non linéaire (14) de la tôle (16).
