Abstract: An orbital welding apparatus includes a first housing (90) defining a weld head assembly (52) and a circular rotor (98) disposed therein for rotation by a first drive shaft (147) about an axis. A welding electrode (126) is carried by the rotor (98) for welding. A second housing (51) separate from the first housing (90) forms a power transmission and has a second drive shaft (69) extending therefrom. A flexible drive shaft (54) connects the first drive shaft (147) to the second drive shaft (69) to conduct rotary drive forces from the first drive shaft to the second drive shaft while permitting the relative orientations of the first and second housings to be freely adjustable. A third and independent housing (10) carries an electric drive motor (18) and forms a power drive motor module with a rotary output shaft (20). A releasable clamping mechanism (C) is provided for positioning and holding cylindrical members to be welded in an axially aligned relationship with their ends abutting in a single plane. A safety interlock mechanism (300) is provided for sensing the releasable clamping mechanism in an operative position to prevent inadvertent operation or operation of the welding unit when the clamping mechanism is misaligned. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Méthode de détection des ratés d'allumage permettant de détecter les ratés d'allumage avec précision en écartant toute erreur de détection imputable à l'augmentation et à la diminution des vibrations se produisant après un raté d'allumage. Cette méthode est basée sur les fluctuations de rotation du vilebrequin et, en outre, ne nécessite aucun appareillage spécial. Les accélérations angulaires Dφn-2, Dφn-1, Dφn et Dφn+1 dans les secteurs d'angle du vilebequin correspondant au cylindre précédent, aux deux cylindres devant être soumis à la détection des ratées et au cylindre suivant, sont calculées de manière séquentielle par un processeur auquel sont communiquées des impulsions provenant d'un capteur d'angle de vilebrequin. Lorsque les valeurs Dφn-1 et Dφn décroissent considérablement par rapport aux valeurs Dφn-2 et Dφn-1, il est estimé qu'un raté d'allumage se produit dans les deux cylindres faisant l'objet de la détection. Lorsque la valeur Dφn+1 s'accroît ensuite sensiblement par rapport à la valeur Dφn, on établit avec certitude un retour à des conditions normales de combustion et la survenue de ratés dans ces deux cylindres faisant l'objet d'une détection est alors confirmée.

Date Jan. 20, 1994.A method for manufacturing an injectable preparation of a pharmaceutically active agent suitable for storage in a dual-chamber injection cartridge. A dual chamber injection cartridge is provided, including: a barrel; a front chamber for a solid component; a rear chamber for a liquid component; a displaceable front piston separating the front and rear chambers; a closure sealing the front end of the barrel; and a constriction between the front and rear ends of the barrel. The constriction has a non-circular cross-section and an openable bypass connection permitting passage of liquid between the rear and front chambers. Prior to opening the bypass connection, the front piston is positioned between the constriction and the rear end of the barrel. The constriction resists displacement of the front piston in a direction of the front end of the barrel when the piston is in the vicinity of the constriction. The constriction prevents displacement of the front piston toward the front end of the barrel when a vacuum exists in the front chamber. A pressure in the vicinity of atmospheric pressure exists in the rear chamber. The front piston is deformed while being displaced through the constriction in the direction of the front end of the barrel while overcoming the resistance. The deformation establishes the liquid bypass connection. The rear chamber is filled with the liquid component. The rear chamber is sealed. A solution of the pharmaceutically active agent is charged in the front chamber. The front chamber is sealed.

Abstract: Weak-current electric signals are transmitted over two-wire lines in which is arranged a pin-and-socket connector (51, 61). The two-wire lines are terminated by coils (56, 66) coupled by a transformer in the pin-and-socket connector (51, 61). Control signals for electric consumers arranged in the vehicle doors and LF signals for loudspeakers arranged in the vehicle doors can thus be transmitted from a control apparatus (1) located away from the door to a door module over a common data line and the pin-and-socket connector. For that purpose, binary coded control signals are modulated on a carrier signal and the LF audio signal is also modulated on the same carrier signal. The signals are demodulated and separated according to their frequencies in the door module. The LF signals are amplified and supplied to a loudspeaker. The control signals are evaluated by a micro-controller and control via switching stages regulating elements provided in the door.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the levels of containers of valuable materials. The object of the invention, to develop a method for monitoring the level of containers of valuable materials, which guarantees a cost-effective monitoring of the levels and an effective, economical emptying of the containers, is achieved in that the levels of the containers 1 of valuable materials are detected by means of an electronic level sensor 1, 14, to which is allocated in each case a unidirectionally operating short-range broadcast module. The level data from the individual containers 1 are transmitted at a defined time interval to a container 4 which executes the master function and to which a broadcast modem 5 is allocated. The container 4 executing the master function sends the level data from the individual containers 1 to a central control station 8 for further processing, at a defined time interval, via the broadcast centre 7. <IMAGE>
