Patent NO-994581-D0 (NO)
Inventor: HUNKLINGER HERBERT
IPC: F04B53/06
Filed: 1999-09-21
Abstract: A dosing pump for dosed liquid conveyance that includes a suction valve built into a suction tube coming out of a suction container, a pump chamber having a displacement volume that can be modified by means of a pumping member, a pressure valve leading to a dosing tube, a deaeration device arranged on the top end of the tube and comprising a return valve and a flow-actuated deaeration and bypass valve built into a deaeration valve having response characteristics dependent upon the state of aggregation of the liquid contained therein. The flow-activated deaeration and bypass valve is open when idle, only closing when pressure is raised in the presence of liquid in the valve, and is provided with a membrane. Faulty pump operation is substantially reduced when the membrane is connected to a remote closing member which closes the deaeration tube when the membrane is moved. A return valve is arranged between the membrane and the closing member.

Title: System and method for frequency up-conversion
IPC: H03C1/00
Filed: 1999-10-18
Abstract: A method and system is described wherein a signal with a lower frequency is up-converted to a higher frequency. In one embodiment, the higher frequency signal is used as a stable frequency and phase reference. In another embodiment, the invention is used as a transmitter. The upconversion is accomplished by controlling a switch with an oscillating signal, the frequency of the oscillating signal being selected as a sub-harmonic of the desired output frequency. When the invention is being used as a frequency or phase reference, the oscillating signal is not modulated, and controls a switch that is connected to a bias signal. When the invention is being used in the frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM) implementations, the oscillating signal is modulated by an information signal before it causes the switch to gate the bias signal. In the amplitude modulation implementation (AM), the oscillating signal is not modulated, but rather causes the switch to gate a reference signal that is substantially equal to or proportional to the information signal. In the FM and PM implementations, the signal that is output from the switch is modulated substantially the same as the modulated oscillating signal. In the AM implementation, the signal that is output from the switch has an amplitude that is a function of the information signal. In both embodiments, the output of the switch is filtered, and the desired harmonic is output.

Title: Cleaning vehicles
IPC: E01H1/08
Filed: 1990-07-14
Abstract: A self-propelled cleaning vehicle (10) comprises matter removal means (18) including primary brushes (24,26) and an additional or third brush (28). The third brush (28) is mounted on a brush mounting arm (46) comprising inner (48) and outer arm (50) portions, pivotally interconnected (52), and controlled by a control linkage (58) interconnecting them and actuated by a remote actuating ram (72) at the inboard end of the assembly. The outer arm portion (50) is of telescopic construction for length-adjustment. The telescoping portion is provided by two parallel rams (98,100). Oil flow to the hydrostatic motor (104) passes through the rams and their piston rods themselves. The pressure on the piston is used to telescope the rams (98,100). When the third brush (28) is in use, contour-following means enables the inboard primary brush to follow the peripheral contours of a surface it is sweeping without driver intervention. Such automatic contour-following is activated by driver-controlled selection (113) of a contour-following control mode which causes the inboard brush to move outwards until it meets, for example, a gutter profile. Position sensing switches (124A) enable the primary brushes (24,26) to automatically adopt standard sweeping positions when a non-contour following mode is selected. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: An optical line termination (OLT) device (12) generates a plurality of optical signals having different respective wavelengths ( lambda 1,  lambda 2), each optical signal carrying data, and wavelength-division-multiplexes the optical signals. A plurality of optical network units (ONUs 141-145) are connected to the OLT device (12) by way of a passive optical network (6) so as to receive the wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signals. Each ONU (14) has a wavelength selection unit operable in dependence upon control information sent from the OLT (12) to the ONU (14) concerned by way of the passive optical network (6) to select one of the optical signals of the plurality, and also has a detector for processing the selected optical signal to derive therefrom the data carried thereby.   The control information may be included in the data-carrying optical signals themselves as overhead information, or may be sent separately by another optical signal that is wavelength-division multiplexed with the data-carrying optical signals. Such an arrangement can enable the downstream capacity of the passive optical network to be shared flexibly by the different optical receivers. <IMAGE>
