Patent EP-0759325-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DOBROCSI BELA
IPC: B01J49/75
Filed: 1996-08-16
Abstract: A water softener which works using the principle of ion exchange, receives brine sucked from a tank (12) and injected (16) through a control valve (18). The brine is then diluted with water and passes to the water softener together with an ion exchanger (14) filled with ion-exchange resin (84). The ion exchanger is then rinsed with clean water or return-flushed, and the tank (12) refilled with water. The novelty is that, immediately following the removal of brine by suction, the tank (12) is filled with clean water while the ion-exchanger (14) is being rinsed or back-flushed to the brine tank (12). Further claimed is that the fresh water is introduced through the same pipe (74) through which the brine is removed by suction, flushing it clean and preventing blockages.

Abstract: An envelope blank is conveyed by a transport system (12) in an envelope making machine to a folding mechanism (10) that folds one or more flaps of the blank. In folding a side flap (72) the leading edge (88) of the blank (70) adjacent to the score line (76) is conveyed along a convex face (112) of a plowshare (48). The plowshare face (112) applies at the leading edge (88) of the blank (70) adjacent to the score line (76) a force which bends the side flap (72) through an angle of 180° to a position where the flap (72) is folded to overlap the blank (70). A crease is formed on the score line (76) to permanently set the flap (72) on the blank (70). The folding of the flap (72) is initiated by the convex face (112) of the plowshare (48). Extending from the upper edge of the plowshare face (112) is a grid-like network (130) of flexible rods (146) mounted to follow the helical path of the plowshare face (112). The free edge portion (92) of the flap (72) is supported by the grid (130) to follow the flap leading edge (88) being folded by the plowshare (48). The flap folding forces are applied at the region of the flap (72) adjacent to the score line (76) where the flap (72) has the least resistance to bending. The folding forces are removed from the flap free edge (92) which is supported by the grid (130) to follow the movement of the flap leading edge (88). The trailing edge (92) of the flap (72) is stabilized by a guide plate (150) positioned oppositely of the plowshare (48) in the feed path (20). The guide plate (150) prevents the flap trailing edge (90) from falling downwardly ahead of the flap leading edge (88) to assure that the fold is maintained in alignment with the score line (76).

Abstract: A system and method for hands-free dialing of a telephone is described. This is particularly useful for mobile telephones. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the system is taken off-hook upon the recognition of an activation word or phrase. The system then looks for a dialing phase and, if given, dials up the number recognized. If a dialing phrase is not recognized within a specific time interval, say one second, then the system goes on-hook again. Upon recognition of a dialing phrase, the system does not complete the dialing immediately but waits for a possible cancellation word or phrase. If no cancellation word or phrase is recognized, the system proceeds to make the call.

Abstract: The refrigeration system according to the invention includes a vacuum jacketed pressure vessel which contains both a spray heat exchanger and a shell and tube heat exchanger. The spray heat exchanger includes one or more nozzles for directing a first refrigerant at a heat exchanger element conveying a second refrigerant. The first refrigerant is sprayed in a fine mist from the nozzles onto the heat exchanger element conveying the second refrigerant. The first refrigerant then evaporates and cools the second refrigerant within the heat exchanger element. The shell and tube heat exchanger is a counter current heat exchanger which includes an inner tube for conveying the second refrigerant to the spray heat exchanger, and an outer tube surrounding the inner tube for conveying the first refrigerant recovered from the interior of the vacuum jacketed pressure vessel out of the pressure vessel. The spray heat exchanger recovers the heat of vaporization of the primary refrigerant, while the shell and tube heat exchanger recovers the enthalpy remaining in the evaporated first refrigerant.

Abstract: A system for controlling color plane image
alignment in a multi-color, single pass laser printer
(10) achieves such alignment by imprinting of alignment
marks (100) directly on a belt (22) which carries and/or
drives media sheets (12) past plural developer modules
(28,30,32,34) in a process direction. A pair of sensors
(50,50') are positioned adjacent the belt (22) to enable
a sensing of the alignment marks (100). A controller
(60) causes each of a plurality of developer moduless
(28,30,32,34) to print a set of alignment marks
(102,104) on the belt (22), each set (102,104) including
plural marks that are positioned transverse to a print
process direction. The controller (60), in response to
the sensors' (50,50') detecting the printed marks (100)
on the belt, determines times at which the marks (100)
pass beneath the sensors (50,50') and, from such
determined times, derives variations from expected sense
times of the marks (100) of each set. Thereafter, the
controller (60) adjusts data feed from color plane sub-images
to one or more laser scanners (42) in such a
manner as to reduce color plane image misalignments.
