Abstract: This invention relates to an improved injector/valve combination which permits nearly immediate response time to an actuator signal. Such a combination is particularly suited for injecting colorants into polyurethane slabstock foam and permits a substantial reduction in foam waste due to low colorations during an on/off cycle. Specifically, this invention combination comprises a novel ball valve (43) which allows for instantaneous shut-off and -on without appreciable leakage or pressure drop and without the need to utilize a high throughput flow rate. Such a ball valve (43) is used in combination with an injector (66) which is actually attached to the valve, the configuration which permits continuous use and instantaneous on/off without a deleterious pressure drop and minimizes the possibility of turbulence as the liquid polymeric colorant flows through the injector. The ball valve (43), the attached injector (66) configuration, the coloring apparatus comprising the inventive ball valve and/or the attached injector configuration, and the slabstock foam colored through the utilization of such an apparatus are also contemplated within this invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dispositif mécanique (100) destiné à commander des processus dépendant du temps, fondé sur un élément basculant (6) de déclenchement et de commutation, pivotant autour d'un axe (7), qui est attaché à un support (11) par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de temporisation (8, 9) contraint par un ressort (17) pendant un laps de temps prédéterminé. Ledit dispositif (100) est bandé par la rotation d'une roue dentée (2) qui fait tourner de 90 ° une roue dentée (5) ellipsoïdale engrenée avec la roue dentée (2), si bien que l'élément de temporisation (8, 9) est poussé dans la direction (C) contre le support (11). Le mouvement de bascule désenclenche simultanément un élément entraîné (14). Une rotation supplémentaire de la roue dentée (2) fait basculer à nouveau la roue dentée ellipsoïdale (5) de 90 °. L'élément basculant (6) de déclenchement et de commutation reste en position enclenchée jusqu'à ce que le laps de temps déterminé par l'élément de temporisation (8, 9) se soit écoulé. Une fois ce laps de temps prédéterminé écoulé, l'élément basculant (6) de déclenchement et de commutation revient dans la direction (O) à la position de départ: les éléments de commande associés (12, 14) sont à nouveau engrenés. L'objet selon la présente invention est particulièrement approprié pour être utilisé dans des distributeurs d'essuie-mains à déroulement continu à actionnement manuel.

Abstract: This patent describes a method and system which overcomes the LO-leakage problem of direct conversion and similar RF transmitters and receivers. To solve this problem a virtual LO(TM) signal is generated which emulates mixing with a local oscillator (LO) signal. However, the virtual local oscillator (VLO) signal is constructed using signals that do not contain a significant amount of power (or no power at all) at the wanted output RF frequency, so there is no LO component to leak to the output. The invention also does not require sophisticated filters or large capacitors as other designs in the art, so it is fully integratable.
