Abstract: Agencement permettant d'ajouter une substance odorante à un gaz devant être distribué vers un site de consommation afin de prévenir les personnes se trouvant à proximité d'un risque d'incendie, d'explosion, de contamination, de suffocation ou de quelque autre danger dans l'éventualité où il se produirait une fuite de gaz vers l'atmosphère. La substance odorante est dissoute dans un gaz porteur condensé dans un récipient sous pression (3) afin de produire un gaz maître en solution qui comprend une phase liquide (6) et une phase gazeuse (7). Le gaz de consommation est dilué avec une quantité appropriée de la phase liquide du gaz maître, laquelle est évaporée avant d'être mélangée au gaz de consommation. L'agencement comprend, à cet effet, un dispositif (18) permettant de corriger le rapport entre les deux écoulements gazeux au cours du procédé de dilution, en ce qui concerne l'augmentation de la concentration de la substance odorante dans la phase liquide (6) du gaz maître qui résulte du rapport décroissant entre les niveaux de la phase liquide et de phase gazeuse (7) dans le récipient sous pression. Ceci permet d'effectuer un dosage extrêmement précis du gaz maître. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé d'addition d'une substance odorante à un gaz de consommation.

Abstract: A vacuum cup control apparatus for applying and releasing vacuum in a vacuum cup includes a venturi passage for inducing a vacuum within the vacuum cup upon the flow of pressurized air therethrough. Another air flow passage extends through the housing for injecting a flow of air under pressure to the vacuum cup to relieve the vacuum therein. A sensor senses the vacuum level attained in the vacuum cup. A feedback signal is sent by the control apparatus to the external controller as an indication that a predetermined, selectable vacuum level has been achieved. The control apparatus is responsive to the sensor and signals from an external controller for applying vacuum to the vacuum cup until a predetermined vacuum level is attained in the vacuum cup. After the initial application of vacuum and prior to the injection of air under pressure to the vacuum cup, if the vacuum level within the vacuum cup decreases below the predetermined set level, the control apparatus will automatically reapply vacuum until the predetermined vacuum level is reached. A plurality of comparators, each provided with offset reference signal inputs, are responsive to the output of the sensor and generate a plurality of discrete vacuum select levels. A selector switch selects one of the comparator outputs to specify a predetermined vacuum level in the vacuum cup.

Abstract: The camera system (10,100) of the present invention simultaneously searches for a number of differing optical acquisition targets (44). Upon detecting an acquisition target (44) it decodes according to corresponding differing decoding algorithms. To facilitate this operation there is a system bus (170) as well as a dedicated data bus (172) for applying a scan signal of an optical scanning device (154) to differing detection circuitry. This system may decode, for example, both bar codes and concentric rings. The scan signal is constantly adjusted according to both a dark reference for correcting offset and a white reference for correcting gain. The gain is also corrected according to the scanning rate as well as the amount of illumination present. A measure of this illumination may be applied directly to the optical scanning device (154) by way of a fiber optic cable (402) which transmits light from the illumination source (15). When detecting concentric rings the system of the present invention uses stored templates which represent a number of transformations of the target (44), for example, a number of magnifications. When the transformation of a target (44) is determined, the corresponding stored template is correlated with the scan signal from the optical scanning device (154). To detect concentric rings the scan signal is applied to interleaving circuitry (180) which correlates more than one scan at a time to provide constant throughput even though the stages of the detector operate at different speeds. Optical calibration is eliminated by fixed optics wherein all optical elements are rigidly mounted at very close tolerances. The illumination source (15) is disposed on one focus (22) of an ellipse (18) wherein the other focus (24) is disposed at the maximum scanning distance and the reflector (14) is formed to define the illumination ellipse (18) to maximize the light applied to the object (42). The various heat producing elements are disposed in sealed compartments (40a,b,c) which are cooled by forced air which is circulated through a heat exchanger. A real time focusing system is provided wherein the distance from the scanning device to an opposing surface is constantly monitored and the system is constantly focused according to the distance. <IMAGE>

The end walls contain elastomeric seals (13), the inner sides of which are directed towards the surface of the pipe. The annular space has an inlet opening (23) for a fluid refrigerant, for example for liquid carbon dioxide. For better utilisation of the refrigerant, the seals (13) have on their circumference, in the region of their edges directed towards the pipe (14), sealing edges (31) which, with increasing pressure in the annular space, can be lifted off the surface of the pipe in such a way that there form between the surface of the pipe and the sealing edges (31) gaps for the escape of the refrigerant, flowing over the surface of the pipe. The seals (13) preferably have on the side facing the annular space half frustoconical faces (34), the smallest diameter of which corresponds at most to the diameter of the pipe. <IMAGE>
