Abstract: The invention relates to a guiding system for a sheet (1), the front edge of which being guided along an imaginary guide path (4) in a sheet transport direction (arrow 9) which is perpendicular to said sheet front edge, said guiding system comprising a guide path (4) being spaced from a sheet guide surface (6), and a first sheet surface of the sheet (1) facing the sheet guide surface (6) is subjected to an air stream (8') emerging from a first nozzle opening (7') in the sheet guide surface (6).  For a smear-free sheet guidance said guiding system provides that the air stream (8') has a main stream direction being describable by means of a directional arrow (9) extending in parallel with and pointing to the sheet transport direction, that a second sheet surface of the sheet (1) facing away from the sheet guide surface (6) is loaded by means of air jet bundles (14), with a respective one of said air jet bundles (14) having a main stream direction being describable by means of a second directional arrow (16) located on a plane which is perpendicular to said sheet front edge, that the first and the second directional arrows (9, and 16) define an angle (alpha), with its highest value being 90°, and that an imaginary elongation of the central air jet of a respective air jet bundle (14) penetrating the sheet impacts essentially on one of the first nozzle openings (7') in the sheet guide surface (6) when the main stream direction of said air jet bundles (14) is inclined with respect to the guide path (4).

Title: System for controlling energy output of combustion-powered, fastener-driving tool
Inventor: DOHERTY JAMES E
IPC: B25C1/08
Filed: 1995-09-12
Granted: 1999-07-20
Abstract: A system for controlling the energy output of a combustion-powered, fastener-driving tool, in which a fan is arranged to produce turbulence in a combustion chamber when the fan is driven, in which a direct current motor is arranged to drive the fan when a driving voltage is applied across the motor, and in which a battery provides a battery voltage not less than the driving voltage.  A voltage divider includes a settable resistance, either a potentiometer or two parallel, fixed resistances that can be alternatively selected, and is used to provide a setpoint voltage.  A comparator, an inverter, and a transistor switch are arranged to sample a voltage proportional to the rotational speed of the fan, to compare the sampled voltage to the setpoint voltage, to apply the driving voltage across the motor if the sampled voltage is less than the setpoint voltage, and to remove the driving voltage from across the motor if the sampled voltage is not less than the setpoint voltage.  The voltage divider also includes a permanently grounded resistance, two selectively groundable resistances, and two photoelectric switches, each including a phototransmissive diode and a photoreceptive transistor and being arranged to ground one of the selectively groundable resistances if a fastener between the phototransmissive diode and the photoreceptive transistor blocks phototransmission therebetween but not if the fastener does not block phototransmission therebetween.  The photoelectric switches can be thus used for discriminating among relatively short, intermediate-length, and relatively long fasteners.

Abstract: A drain-and-fill machine is disclosed that can accommodate a cooling system having an inlet-side thermostat. The drain-and-fill machine includes a reservoir of fresh or recycled antifreeze/coolant and a reservoir to receive used antifreeze/coolant.  The drain-and-fill machine introduces the fresh or recycled antifreeze/coolant into the cooling system of an automobile while simultaneously draining the used antifreeze/coolant into the used coolant reservoir. When the engine is cold, the engine's inlet side-thermostat will prevent new antifreeze/coolant from entering the cooling system, thereby making it possible to drain the used antifreeze/coolant from the cooling system, without simultaneously replenishing the cooling system with fresh or recycled antifreeze/coolant. The present drain-and-fill machine includes a thermostat disposed in the reservoir drain line having similar operating characteristics to the engine's inlet-side thermostat. The drain line thermostat will thus prevent the used antifreeze/coolant from being drained from the engine's cooling system when the engine's inlet-side thermostat is closed, until the coolant has reached a sufficient temperature to allow both the inlet-side and drain-line thermostats to open.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for receiving signals in gateways for satellite repeater type spread spectrum communication systems making more efficient use of data transfer capacity and diversity processing. Several communication signals are received by multiple analog receivers (62M) and converted into digital format. The digital communication signals are transferred from each analog receiver (62M) into a series of demodulation or FHT modules (164) in which they are first despread into encoded data symbols using predetermined PN coding sequences, and then mapped into symbol energy metrics using orthogonal transformers (192), such as fast Hadamard transformers. The transformation output for each communication channel from each analog receiver (62M) is input to a single metric receiver (166N) for a data channel or subscriber, where it is subjected to conventional metric signal processing to reconstruct the data. A set of dedicated modules (164MN) is coupled to each analog receiver (62M) for handling each diversity path or subscriber active communication system channel being transferred through that receiver or analog path. Each demodulation or FHT module (164MN) comprises despreading elements (176, 178) and FHT components (192) that are easily distributed in processing arrays within the gateway. spreadingelements (176, 178) and FHT components (192) that are easily distributed in processing arrays within the gateway.

Abstract: A pulsing valve (10) for routing water flow from an inlet line (12) to outlet lines (14) connected to water jets (24) arranged in an array to massage an occupant of a whirlpool bath (28) is provided. The pulsing valve (10) includes a water turbine (38) driving a selector disk (62) through a reduction gear drive (50). The selector disk (62) contains openings (64) which oppose individual outlet water lines (14) and direct water flow to them. Rotation of the selector disk (62) switches water flow among the individual outlet water lines (14), causing the massaging water jet location to move, improving the quality of the resulting massage.

Granted: 2006-10-03
Abstract: A fuel gas reformer assemblage for use in a fuel cell power plant is formed from a composite plate assembly which includes spaced-apart divider plates with interposed columns of individual gas passages. The reformer assemblage is constructed from a series of repeating sub-assemblies, each of which includes a core of separate regenerator/heat exchanger gas passages (38, 40). The core in each sub-assembly is sandwiched between a pair of reformer gas passage skins (28, 30), which complete the sub-assembly. Adjacent reformer gas/regenerator/reformer gas passage sub-assemblies in the composite plate assembly are separated from each other by burner gas passages (14, 44). The regenerator/heat exchanger gas passages and the reformer gas passages in each sub-assembly are connected by gas flow return manifolds (36) which form a part of each sub-assembly. The fuel gases flow in one end (10) of the assemblage, through the reformer gas passages, and then reverse their direction of flow in the return manifolds so as to exit (8) the reformer assemblage through the regenerator gas flow passages. The burner gases flow in one end of the reformer assemblage and out the other end. The walls of the burner and reformer gas flow passages are selectively catalyzed after the assemblage has been constructed.
