Patent CA-2658955-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAMBERGER GEORG
IPC: F24F13/14
Filed: 2007-08-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a device (12), for controlling an airflow (A) in a ventilation duct (10), comprising a least one pivotable air flap (24), which prevents an airflow (A) in the duct (10) when in the closed position. A housing (32) of an actuator for the air flap (24), which may pivot freely about the relevant longitudinal mid plane (LM), is mounted in the inner duct wall (34) of constant cross-section. The elastic air flap (24), symmetrically or approximately symmetrically curved about the longitudinal mid plane (LM) of the ventilation duct (10) and supported under load in a stable position on the duct wall (34), is rigidly fixed to the driveshaft (18) of the actuator, by an angled lever arm (20), with a separation (a), in the region of the apex line (S) thereof. The air flap (24) rests roughly centrally, permanently on the points (36, 38) of contact with the inner duct wall (34), which move with the position of the flap, in a self-centring (36, 38) manner and, in the closed position, contacts the inner duct wall (34) along a sealed, endless peripheral sealing surface (58). The contact points (36, 38) lie on the virtual intersection of the longitudinal axis (LW) of the drive shaft (18) with the duct wall (34). In order to fit or exchange the device (12), an opening (64), in particular, a long rectangle, is cut in the ventilation duct (10). The device (10) is fixed to a section (66) of duct material or transparent material extending beyond the opening in all directions, introduced with the elastic air flap (24) bent up and the opening (64) sealed again.

Abstract: The invention provides a level detection device (32) having a tube (34) which, in use, contains a material (14) for which its level in the tube (34) is to be measured. An ultrasonic transducer (10) is provided at one end of tube (34) for emitting an acoustic waveform that reflects off the surface of the level and returns to the ultrasonic transducer (10) to allow computation of the level from the time periods of the emitted and reflected acoustic waveforms. A flared section (22) within tube (34 ) diverges from adjacent ultrasonic transducer (10) towards the inside wall of tube (34) above the level, whereby, in use, the measured reflected waveform has substantially reduced signal distortion due to flare (22).

Title: A method for increasing the lift of aerodynamic surfaces and for reducing the drag
Inventor: CATINO NICOLA ITALO
IPC: B64C21/02
Filed: 2008-03-10
Abstract: A jet of air is impelled on to the upper surface (22) of a flap (20) in order to increase its lift. Part of the air in this air jet is drawn, through air intakes (41), from the air stream flowing over an upper surface (11) of the fixed part (10) of the wing, located upstream of the flap. The air jet drawn in by suction by the air intakes (41) is reinforced by a jet of compressed air blown through a passage (30) which opens immediately downstream of the air intakes (41). This creates a combined jet, comprising the air sucked in and the blown jet, which is ejected on to the upper surface (22) of the flap through outlet apertures (44) located on the rear edge of the fixed part of the wing.
