Abstract: A system for pyrolysis of hydrocarbon constituents of waste material including a treatment unit featuring a retort with a ellipsoidal cross-section forming a first retort half and a second retort half, the material to be treated being selectively deposited in only one half of the retort at a time during any given period of system operation, to avoid abrasion and wear of the half not in use, thus effectively doubling the life of the retort component. Another feature of a treatment unit according to the invention is a heat reclamation arrangement that introduces gases that have first been combusted to supply heat energy to the retort through a conduit directly into the interior of the retort, to improve the efficiency with which pyrolysis takes place. Further, the treatment unit has an exhaust and cleaning arrangement to render gases produced during pyrolysis substantially free of pollutants such that the gases can be vented to the atmosphere. The exhaust and cleaning arrangement is characterized by a plurality of selectively detachable gas injection tubes, which provide fuel for thermal oxidation of the gases. Each injection tube can be removed for cleaning independently of any other injection tube, and removal can be accomplished without disrupting operation of the system. Still another feature of the treatment unit of the invention is the redundancy and high-temperature resistance of the seal between the retort and other components of the unit.

Abstract: An assembly for controlling the position of a lens (122) in an optical data storage and retrieval drive includes a carriage that suspends a lens holder using a plurality of flexures (260,262). A lens is mounted in the lens holder such that the center of mass of the suspended lens holder lies on the optical axis of the lens, and also coincides with the center of mass of the lens. The lens holder is capable of relative motion with respect to the carriage (106) with at least one degree of freedom. The center of mass of the carriage lies within 0.1mm of the optical axis, proximate the center of mass of the lens holder. Suspensory forces acting on the lens holder are symmetric about the optical axis. A coarse magnetic drive moves the carriage in a tracking direction, and exerts forces on the carriage that are balanced and symmetric about the optical axis, so that moments about the center of mass of the carriage are effectively absent. Inertial forces acting on the carriage, and forces reactive to the magnetic drive forces are also balanced and symmetric with respect to the optical axis, and produce insubstantial moments about the center of mass of the carriage. There is a fine tracking and a focusing drive for the lens holder. Both of these drives produce balanced and symmetric forces about the optical axis, such that moments about the optical axis are absent. Inertial forces and reactive forces acting on the suspended lens holder are also symmetric about the optical axis. As a result the objective lens moves along its optical axis, and in its tracking direction without change in attitude, and its focal point can be precisely controlled with respect to the surface of a storage medium being read or written. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved hydraulic accumulator is introduced wherein a valve mechanism is used to seal a hydraulic fluid before the pressure charged piston reaches the end of the accumulator to minimize the loss of compressed gas by eliminating the pressure differential when the piston is fully extended, thereby prolonging the fatigue life of the accumulator vessel. Reduction of the pressure loading on the vessel will also prolong the life of the piston seals and metal bellows effectively extending the accumulator life and effectively allowing design for weight reduction and preservation of the integrity of the complete hydraulic or pneumatic system.
