Abstract: A modulator (10) for modulating incident rays of light, the modulator having several equally spaced beam elements (18), each having a light reflective planar surface. The beam elements are arranged and supported (12) parallel to each other, with their reflective surfaces parallel. During operation, the elements remain parallel, but the modulator moves the beams so that the perpendicular spacing of their reflective surfaces changes between two configurations. In both configurations, the spacing equals m/4 times the wavelength of incident light. In the first configuration, m equals an even whole number or zero, and the modulator acts to reflect the incident rays of light as a plane mirror. In the second configuration, m equals an odd number and the modulator diffracts the incident rays as they are reflected.

Title: Modular construction pattern rolls for use in paper converting and paper converted thereby.
Inventor: MCNEIL KEVIN BENSON
IPC: B31F1/07
Filed: 1993-06-01
Abstract: The invention comprises a modular pattern roll for embossing a cellulosic fibrous structure. The pattern roll is made by assembling separate components, rather than being one piece and chemically etched according to the prior art. The pattern roll comprises a cylindrically perforate outer shell having radially extending protuberances inserted through the holes in the cylindrical shell. The protuberances are provided with an interference fit and/or, if desired, a shoulder at the proximal end to prevent the protuberances from being extruded and expelled through the hole and creating a missile hazard during operation. The center of the hollow cylindrically perforate shell is filled with a base roll and a radially expanding internal locking assembly, to prevent the protuberances from moving radially inwardly under the compressive forces which occur during operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the consumption of fossil fuels flowing through a magnetically permeable fuel feed line (delivery line, supply line) by means of a magnetic field which is applied to the fuel with the aid of an external means of magnetisation, and to a device for carrying out this method. For the purpose of optimal reduction of the fuel consumption, even in the case of different operating conditions, in the said method it is proposed according to the invention to apply to the fuel an electromagnetic alternating field having a periodically variable field strength and whose frequency is selected taking account of the flow velocity of the fuel. It is possible in this case for the frequency of the alternating field to be varied continuously within a frequency range between two limiting frequency values. As a result, matching of the frequency to the flow velocity is achieved even when the latter varies during operation. Instead of this, it is even more favourable to measure the instantaneous flow velocity of the fuel and, as a function of this, respectively to set the most favourable frequency, which is preferably stored and interrogated, and to control or regulate it. In the said device, it is proposed according to the invention for the purpose of carrying out this method to provide the magnet coil (field coil) surrounding the fuel feed line with an adequate length and to provide a supply source which feeds said coil with an alternating current (preferably approximately rectangular) of suitable variable frequency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A beverage brewing machine which has upper (11) and lower (25) brewing chambers which are moveable relative to each other so as to clamp a strip-shaped filter (36) therebetween during the brewing process and the chambers can be separated so as to allow the filter strip to be removed from the brewing chamber and the beverage residual wiped therefrom after which the filter strip is returned to the brewing chambers which are then resealed for the next cycle. A hold down grid (20) engages the top surface of the filter (36) to hold it down as a piston (26) moves in the lower chamber (25) upwardly to force air through the filter to agitate the beverage. When the piston reaches top dead center, the hold down grid (20) is lifted. When the piston passes the opening the brewed coffee is poured. A loose connection is provided between the connecting rod for the piston and the driving crank arm so that the piston remains longer at the top and bottom of its stroke. Due to agitation of ground and oxygenation of the mixture, or a combination of both, by adding a high volume of air during the brewing process, increased extraction results.

Abstract: A bridge-type primary switching circuit (12) is represented by a pulsed voltage source (VSW). The primary switched waveform is transformed to secondary circuit (14) using a transformer (T1) with the required turns ratio N and a center-tapped secondary winding (16). Half-bridge rectifier (18) formed by diodes (DR1) and (DR2) rectifies the secondary waveform and feeds the waveform through a low-pass filter (LF) and (CF) to obtain the desired DC output voltage. The snubber circuit (20) is represented by switch-diode-capacitor combinations (SA-DS1-CS1) and (SB-DS2-CS2) across each rectifier (DR1) and (DR2). Capacitances (CS1) and (CS2) are selected large enough such that their voltages remain essentially constant during a switching cycle. The controlled switches (SA) and (SB) are turned ON with a specific delay after the primary voltage reaches a magnitude close to the input voltage in order to allow the rectifier diodes (DR1) and (DR2) to be commutated. It is crucial that the switches (SA) and (SB) be turned OFF before the primary voltage collapses to zero to avoid current spikes through the switches.
