IPC: H01H9/28
Filed: 1992-11-16
Abstract: Switch lockouts are disclosed which may be fixed to a single toggle switch, a ganged toggle switch, or a similarly acting switch, valve operator, or similar structure to prevent the switch from being operated.  The lockout comprises a projection and abutments which engage the switch handle and the body of the switch.  The projection extends into an aperture of the handle in one embodiment, or under the crossbar of a ganged handle in another.  The abutments, and in some instances the projection, embrace the handle and prevent substantial rotation of the handle with respect to the lockout, or of the lockout with respect to the switch body.  Thus, the switch handle, switch body, and lockout are fixed substantially immovably together.

Title: Method and a system for drying sludge
Inventor: BERNES STEEN
IPC: C02F11/13
Filed: 1991-06-27
Abstract: A method and a system serve to completely or partially dehydrate sludge by evaporation which originates from e.g. sewage. The sludge is dried with addition of heat in a drying chamber (2), the sludge being transported on an endless travelling grate (3) from an inlet opening (8) in the drying chamber (2) to a discharge opening (9) in it. The sludge is deposited on the grate in a plurality of juxtaposed sludge strings (18) by means of an extruder (6), in which the sludge is preheated to almost 100 ·C prior to extrusion. The extruded strings (18) are then heated with such an intensity that the water in the sludge immediately begins to boil, and that a zone of preferably saturated water steam is formed at any rate in the immediate vicinity of the sludge. This provides a light and porous, dried sludge product which is in no way either burnt or scorched, and which constitutes excellent fuel as well as excellent compost. The system has a simple and compact construction and is inexpensive to produce, just as it works at moderate operation costs.

Title: Panel with fastening elements actuable without tools
Inventor: ACHERMANN PETER
IPC: B66B1/46
Filed: 1993-05-03
Abstract: In this panel, a frame (1) displays an encircling flange (2) and a respective web-shaped rim (3) at each of two parallel sides and a respective parallelepipedonal rim (4) at each of two parallel sides. The rims (3; 4) are received by a recess of a mounting plate (5) so that the encircling flange (2) covers over the recess and lies frontally against the mounting plate (5). Arranged on the inward side of the parallelepipedonal rims (4) are supports (7) and countersupports (8), by means of which a plate is retained. The parallelepipedonal rim (4) is penetrated over the entire length by a channel which is interrupted by a web (14) centrally at the side and at the side remote from the flange (2) displays a first opening (15) and a second opening (16) for each channel half. A locking bar serving as fastening element is arranged to be displaceable in each channel half. A head part (18) of the locking bar stands in connection with a foot part by means of a spring, wherein the foot part bears on the web (14). In the assembly position of the locking bar shown by interrupted lines, a first locking dog (24) detents with a second opening (16) against the spring force. A light pressure, which releases the detent, on a first guide finger (22) suffices for the one-piece locking bar consisting of elastic synthetic material jumping from the assembly position into the retaining position or the base position.

Title: Method for producing heat-recoverable articles and apparatus for expanding/shrinking articles
Inventor: MCGAFFIGAN THOMAS H
IPC: B29C61/08
Filed: 1992-04-24
Abstract: A method of producing a heat-recoverable plastic article such as a tube (1) by deforming the article from a heat-stable con-figuration (1a) to a heat-unstable configuration (1b). The heat-unstable configuration will return to the heat-stable configuration when the article is heated to above the heat recovery temperature. The article is heated such that the article is at a temperature no lower than the heat recovery temperature during the deforming step by lossy particles (2) dispersed in the article or in a tool (4) used in the deforming step. The lossy particles allow auto-regulated heating of the article since the particles cannot be heated be-yond their Curie transition temperature when subjected to an alternating magnetic field. These particles are preferably ferrites. Alternatively, the tool can include a braided mesh tubing (12) of a ferromagnetic alloy wire. The article is cooled in the heat-un-stable configuration to a temperature below the heat recovery, temperature while preventing the article from returning to the heat-stable configuration. The tool can be a mandrel (8), expandable tube (10) or caterpillar (4).

Inventor: MILLER JOEL B
IPC: G01V3/14
Filed: 1992-04-24
Abstract: A system and method for detecting a class explosives and narcotics containing nitrogen in a specimen (1) by nuclear quadrupole resonance which improves the selectivity, sensitivity and spatial localization over conventional detection systems. As a result, sub-kilogram quantities of explosives and narcotics against a background of more benign materials may be detected by the nuclear quadrupole resonance system and method. Also, by the use of a meanderline surface coil (10), the electrical and magnetic fields will fall off rapidly over a short distance so that a localized region may be scanned and people may be scanned without depositing substantial RF power into the body. Furthermore, by using a strong off-resonance comb (SORC) irradiation sequence, the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected signal is improved for obtaining a more accurate detection signal from the specimen.

Abstract: Abstract A process for removing plastics from metallic microstructure elements is disclosed.  The process comprises treating the metallic elements at a temperature higher than 140°C with a fluid whose boiling point at atmospheric pressure is higher than 130°C.  Examples of suitable fluids are oligomers of ethylene glycol, short-chain diols or esters of dicarboxylic acids.

Title: Process and device for controlling the attitude of a three-axis stabilized, spinning spacecraft
Inventor: SURAUER MICHAEL
IPC: G05D1/08
Filed: 1992-09-04
Abstract: ABSTRACT A process is disclosed for controlling the attitude of a three-axis stabilized, spinning spacecraft, in order to maintain the spinning direction in inertial space and to limit the nutation amplitude. For that purpose, the deviation of the spinning direction from the set orientation, as well as the nutation amplitude, are constantly checked for exceeding predetermined set values (? d?, dN) by separate dead zone control elements. However regulating steps for reducing nutation may also be triggered when the spinning direction is within predetermined admissible limits. A corresponding attitude control device has at least one atti-tude sensor for measuring the angular deviation with respect to at least one of both lateral axes, and actuators for generating torques. From the angular deviation signals are derived two signal fractions that represent on the one hand the orbital dis-placement (?0) and on the other hand the nutational displacement (?N) of the spacecraft. The first signal fraction (?0) runs in a first signal path with a first dead zone (204), the second signal fraction (?N) runs in a second signal path to form a signal for the nutation amplitude (AN) and a signal for the nutation angle (.beta.N). A common nutation regulator (205) for de-tennining the moment when controlling torques are triggered is connected after both signal paths. The nutation regulator al-so receives the output signal of a second dead zone control element (209) which receives at its input the signal AN.
