Patent EP-1319094-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAM THOMAS YUI-TAI
IPC: D01D5/096
Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs permettant d'appliquer activement une finition à un ou plusieurs fils en mouvement à une vitesse supérieure à environ 3000 m/min., afin d'obtenir une application de finition supérieure ou égale à 0,2 % en pds, avec un coefficient de variation de concentration de finition inférieur ou égal à 10 %. Les dispositifs sont compacts, portatifs et facilement installés à divers endroits sur une ligne de traitement de fibres. Les dispositifs comportent cette finition pour éviter une contamination des zones environnantes. Les dispositifs peuvent être utilisés pour fournir une surfinition à un fil en mouvement entre des godets de filage chauffés. Le chauffage ainsi produit peut être utilisé pour sécher le fil et favoriser les réactions de durcissement dans la finition et entre les composés du fil et de la finition. L'invention concerne également les produits de fils finis ainsi produits. Un fil doté d'une uniformité de finition accrue est obtenu, fil qui comporte une surfinition activement appliquée et séchée sur le banc à étirer avant la première opération d'enroulement. Les produits de fil de la présente invention peuvent s'utiliser dans des applications de textile, de loisirs et dans des applications de fibres industrielles, telles que les pneumatiques.

Title: Dispositif auto-centreur pour unites d'entrainement lineaires
Inventor: ANDREASSON SUNE
IPC: B23Q5/40
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité linéaire (1) comprenant un rail profilé (2) le long duquel un chariot (3) est placé afin de glisser avec un mouvement d'avant en arrière au moyen d'une vis réversible (4) qui déplace le chariot de ses deux côtés, la vis passant à travers un alésage (7) pratiqué dans un support de vis (8). Un tige de traction (24) permet de déplacer le support de vis en avant et en arrière le long du rail profilé entre deux positions d'arrêt, et le support de vis sert à supporter la vis entre des paliers (10) qui la supportent à ses extrémités. Un dispositif auto-centreur, destiné à centrer automatiquement la vis dans le support de vis est formé à l'aide d'un élément auto-centreur (11) monté dans l'alésage de support de vis, cet élément butant par glissement contre la vis à la fois lorsque la vis est en rotation dans un de ses sens de rotation et lorsque le support de vis se trouve dans ses positions d'arrêt. La tige de traction relie de manière cinétique les supports de vis situés de chaque côté du chariot, de telle façon que lorsque le chariot est déplacé par glissement dans une direction il vient buter contre le support de vis positionné d'un des côtés du chariot aux fins de déplacement de ce support de vis d'une de ses positions d'arrêt pour aller vers l'autre, tout en amenant, simultanément, grâce à la tige de traction, le support de vis positionné de l'autre côté du chariot, et inversement.

IPC: B60C23/12
Filed: 2001-10-04
Abstract: An electromechanical apparatus suitable for mounting on a vehicle wheel power for generating telemetry relating to the wheel including tire temperature and pressure. The apparatus includes a pendulum mounted to rotate freely relative to the vehicle wheel which is positioned from the wheel hub. When the wheel is set to rotation, the pendulum freely hangs from the wheel hub under the influence of an off center counterweight having sufficient inertia to prevent rotation of the pendulum with the wheel. The pendulum is used to position one or more magnets (38) to be used to excite field coils (24), which are mounted with respect to the wheel hub to rotate with the wheel. The magnets (38) and rotating coils cooperate to energize a power utilization circuit also mounted with respect to the wheel hub to rotate therewith. The utilization circuit (100) may include such sensors as desired, typically including though a tire pressure gauge and tire and wheel hub temperature gauges. The apparatus is readily extended to incorporate a tire pressurization pump, which may be a solenoid pump (72) powered indirectly from the rotating coils, or by a magnetic button pump (42).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a culture system for plants and/or plant tissues, comprising at least one culture medium comprising one or more nutrients and a stock of one or more nutrients from which the nutrients are gradually dispensed to the culture medium. Thus is ensured that a sufficient quantity of nutrients is available in the culture system during the whole of the culture without additional manipulations of the culture system, such as adding new nutrients after a period of time, being necessary. In the case of for instance sterile culture systems, there is hereby less chance of compromising the sterility.

Abstract: In a method of reducing bacterial growth in a water mixer (1) with an associated consumer line (6), there are used supply lines (10; 11) for cold and water respectively. These lines open into a chamber (17) for mixed water after passing through a cold water chamber (15) and a hot water chamber (16) respectively. A cold water circulation line (21) extends from the cold water chamber (15). The temperature of the water in the circulation line is sensed by a sensor (22) and the circulating water is cooled prior to being returned via the cold water supply line (10). The consumer line is drained of water subsequent to a consumer sequence, wherewith additional cold water is supplied to the mixer in order to lower the temperature therein and also the temperature in the consumer line (6). The additional cold water is also drained from the mixer and the consumer line. The method enables the system temperature to be kept at a low level sufficient to obviate the risk of the growth of legionella bacteria. The invention also relates to a mixer for carrying out the method.

Abstract: In a method for commutating an electronically commutated motor, a predictive calculation is made of a first time span that the rotor will need in order to pass through a specified rotation angle that lies between a first rotational position (∂0) and a later second rotational position (∂1) at which a switching operation is to be effected in the motor. Upon actual passage through the first rotational position, a reference time is identified and stored. The time difference between the present time and the stored reference time is then monitored repeatedly and compared to the first time span; and when a specified relationship exists between the time difference and the first time span, the switching operation is performed.

Abstract: A system for manipulating optical signals in an optical switch
utilizes a piezoelectric membrane. The membrane is selectively enabled to
switch among an outward position, an inward position and a relaxed orientation
in relation to a sidewall of a trench that is provided as part of the switch.
The membrane is in fluidic communication with an intersecting gap of the
trench that crosses a first input waveguide and a first output waveguide.
Displacing the membrane to a first position causes the gap to be filled with
an index-matching liquid such that light from the first input waveguide is
transmitted to the first output waveguide. Alternatively, displacing the
membrane to a second position causes the gap to be filled with a gaseous
bubble, resulting in a refractive index mismatch, such that the light from the
first input waveguide is diverted at the gap. In another embodiment, there
are two membranes utilized for manipulating optical signals.

upwardly beyond the height position of the constriction. The lid recess
extends downwards beyond the height position of the constriction and has
an outer diameter at its outer surface which is adapted to the inner
diameter of the receptacle wall such that the lid recess functions at
least as a centring and guide projection for the lid-clip-on action,
which projection slidingly co-operates with the receptacle wall already
at least while the bead passes the constriction.
