Abstract: A food warmer having closed loop heating control has a temperature sensor in a warming zone of the food warmer. The temperature sensor has a rate of heat absorption and a rate of heat loss substantially the same as a food product contained in the warming zone. First and second heat sources provide heat to the warming zone. The heat required to maintain the warming zone at a desired temperature requires heat from both the first and second heat sources. The first heat source is operated continuously while the second heat source is activated and deactivated in closed loop fashion based on input from the temperature sensor to maintain a desired set point temperature of the warming zone.

Abstract: A surface heating device comprises a heating element fabricated by braiding plural conductors (4) on a flexible supporter (2). The device employs the heating element member which is reduced in the thickness or diameter, and thus can be inhibited from giving an uncomfortable touch when seated or appearing as a relief on the surface cover of a seat. Also, a pad is reduced in the thickness, the surface cover of the seat can be heated up rapidly. The heating element is fabricated by braiding the conductors, and thus, when loaded with a weight when seated, the element allows a resultant stress exerted thereon to be dispersed on the conductors, hence being made strong for bending. Moreover, the conductors is inhibited from separating from each other and needs no insulating coat.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling a braking arrangement on a heavy vehicle. The braking arrangement comprises a main brake, which includes braking devices (1a -f), for example disc brakes, that are each arranged to act on one of the vehicle wheels (2a-f). Furthermore, the braking arrangement comprises at least one auxiliary brake (3) and a brake control (10) with which the named main brake (1a-f) and auxiliary brake (3) are activated. When a driver activates the brake control (10), a control unit (9) in the arrangement is arranged to initiate activation of the main brakes (1a-f) and the auxiliary brake (3) and thus distributes the braking effect between these brakes in such a way that the braking effect requested by the driver is obtained in the shortest possible time and in such a way that the use of the brake devices (1a-f) of the main brake is minimised after an initial period. The invention relates to a braking system for a heavy vehicle, which comprises an arrangement described above.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a buffer tank as is substantially used for ensuring a constant supply of the spinning machine with a polymer melt in spinning machines. To this end the buffer tank is provided with a compensation chamber whose volume is variable in response to a pressure prevailing in the polymer melt and to a volume flow variation. The polymer melt flows from a polymer melt entry opening to a polymer melt exit opening through the compensation chamber. It is the object of the present invention to make the flow through the compensation chamber uniform. The residence time of the polymer melt in the compensation chamber shall thereby be prevented from having a wide range, the latter resulting in an irregular quality of the yarns produced by the spinning machine because of the time-dependent, mechanical and chemical properties of the polymer melt. To achieve said object, the compensation chamber is provided for flow optimization with at least to one flow guiding element projecting into the flow of the polymer melt, which is smaller than the flow cross-section of the compensation chamber and by which the velocity profile in the direction of flow through the compensation chamber is made uniform at least in sections.
