Patent EP-0233195-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LINCOLN JAMES FREDERICK LEWIS
IPC: F23G5/02
Filed: 1986-05-08
Abstract: Récupération du pouvoir calorifique provenant d'une biomasse telle que des déchets de bois ou de la tourbe. Les déchets de bois ("hog fuel") provenant des industries forestières sont d'un intérêt particulier. On a découvert que ce matériau peut être brûlé sans utiliser un combustible fossile d'appoint dans un brûleur à suspension d'air, placé dans une chaudière (34) sans qu'il soit nécessaire de pulvériser en fines particules la totalité du combustible. Une partie de la totalité du combustible dérivée de la biomasse est broyée (16) de telle sorte à obtenir des particules dont le diamètre est inférieur à 100 mum qui alimentent (30) le brûleur. Ces fines particules servent de composant d'allumage et doivent comprendre environ 20% de la totalité du pouvoir calorifique du combustible, lorsqu'on utilise un brûleur à suspension d'air conventionnel, ou 10% de la totalité du pouvoir calorifique, lorsqu'on utilise un brûleur étagé, lorsque les brûleurs fonctionnent à pleine charge. Le solde du combustible alimentant (32) le brûleur peut avoir une granulométrie beaucoup plus grande, qui peut s'élever à 10 mm ou même plus en dimension maximum, lorsqu'on utilise une chaudière équipée d'une grille. Si la chaudière n'est pas équipée d'une grille, le composant combustible principal ne doit pas excéder environ 1 mm d'épaisseur et 4 mm dans les deux autres dimensions, si l'on veut éviter le transvasage. On a découvert que la quantité totale du composant combustible d'allumage doit être maintenue constante, indépendamment de la charge du brûleur, ce qui constitue un aspect clef de la présente invention.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a signal which reproduces the phase difference between a local carrier signal and the carrier of a received signal with amplitude and/or phase shift keying, where the received signal is divided into two signal components (x, y), which are dependent on the phase difference, are in quadrature and have cartesian orientation, where each pair of signal components with cartesian orientation, in each case representing one of several permitted signal states, is converted into two signal components (R,  alpha ) with polar orientation, where those permitted uncorrupted polar signal components which are most closely approximated by the polar signal components of the received signal are selected, and where the phase difference is obtained through comparison of the selected and received polar signal components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of fabricating a rubber double-toothed belt wherein the unvulcanized rubber thereof is firstly heat treated so as to define a first toothed portion of the belt without substantial vulcanization thereof. The preform (10) is then entrained about pulleys (27,28) and a pair of heated molds (29,30) en­gaged with both the toothed portion and the nontoothed outer portion of the belt to place the preform under pressure at a vulcanization temperature for sufficient time to cause the outer rubber portion of the preform to flow outwardly and define the outer teeth of the final belt concurrently with the vulcanization of the double-toothed belt construction. The parameters for controlling the heat treatment to provide the configurational retention without substantial vulcaniza­tion of the preform rubber are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a building block which imitates a pile of dry stones. According to the method, the stones (10) are placed side-by-side on the bottom of a mold whose inside shape corresponds to the desired block shape, said bottom being constituted by a grating. Cement is then cast inside the mold. The cement (11) is compressed in order to force it to spread out uniformly inside the mold and to creep between the stones (10). While the cement is kept under pressure, water is projected through the bottom grating against the outside face of the block (1), so as to remove any cement which may be found thereon. Pressure is then removed from the cement and it is allowed to set. Finally the block (1) is extracted from the mold.

Abstract: So far, use has been made of scissors in order to cut to length load-bearing fibres, especially those consisting of aramide, of optical fibre cables, whereas in the case of ready-made leads a diamond cutting disc is employed. The new device is intended to be easy to operate and to guarantee reliable fibre cutting in conjunction with a long service life. The new device comprises  - a stamp (St) having a conical or cambered pushing area (Df), - a bore (B), introduced into the stamp (St) in the axial direction, for accommodating the cable end freed from the cable sheath (Km) and load-bearing fibres (Zf), and - a cutting ring (Sr), which is assigned to the pushing area (Df) of the stamp (St) and through which the cable (Kb) can be passed. The cutting process is then preferably undertaken by lowering the stamp (St). The device is basically suitable for cutting to length the load-bearing fibres of cables and, in particular, the aramide fibres of optical fibre cables before mounting crimp barrels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The tool storage unit is a rotatable rotor (11) mounted on a column (1). Tool magazines (2) are supported in a close arrangement without gaps on the entire periphery of the rotor (11) so that there is no means of access for a tool changer. To gain access to a tool (5), a feed unit (23) is used which has a displacing arm (24, 25) arranged above and below the rotor (11). With magazine grippers (8), the displacing arms (24, 25) grip the desired magazine (2) presented and feed it over the length of the tools to the adjacent cassettes. The desired tool can now be seized by a tool changer (30) and moved to the place of use. In this arrangement, the rotor (11) can be loaded with the largest possible number of tools, and yet a very quick tool change can thereby be made, which is of advantage in particular in single-spindle machine tools.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump for pumping fluids through a flexible tube (34) is described which has a quick release and engagement mechanism that permits easy and rapid removal or insertion of the flexible tube (34) into the device. The quick release and engagement mechanism of the invention consists of a shoe (19) mounted for vertical displacement on the body (19) of the pump. Upward movement of the shoe (19) engages the flexible tube (34) holding the fluid to be pumped and locks the tube against the roller assembly (31, 32, 33) containing an eccentrically mounted roller (16) which intermittently engages the tube (34) and forces fluid out of it. To disengage the flexible tube (34) from the pump, the shoe (19) is moved downward out of contact with the flexible tube (34).

Abstract: A cable handling system for routing a group of cables (28, 35, 36) to a rotatable hub (20) comprises an arm (22) and a sleeve (38) which divides the group of cables into side-by-side subgroups. The sleeve (38) is flexible and allows the cables to slide and flex within it. Straps (46,47,52,53) attach the sleeve to a forward position on the arm and a fixed rearward position to hold the sleeve longitudinally in place and subject it to longitudinal and transverse tension. A cable rotator (85) holds the cables next to the hub (20) where they enter the hub area and allows them to pivot in the plane of rotation but does not allow longitudinal sliding of the cables. In the arm area, rigid longitudinal partitions (108) maintain the subgrouping of the cables which are enclosed between top (30, 33) and bottom (34) channel members to longitudinally support the cables against buckling but facilitate sliding among the cables.

Title: Process for use in flour milling
Inventor: TKAC JOSEPH
IPC: B02B3/00
Filed: 1988-12-20
Abstract: Significant improvements to the milling of wheat kernels are possible by sequentially removing the bran layers of the kernels prior to processing in general accordance with the conventional milling principles. The wheat kernels are preprocessed by means of a number of friction and abrasion operations to peel or strip the various layers of bran from the kernels. A series of friction machines followed by abrasion machines progressively remove the bran layers and separate the same into generally pre-identified bran layer mixtures. Up to about 75% of the bran can be removed with the remaining bran being essentially confined to the kernel crease and removed during the conventional milling operation. Such preprocessed kernels, when milled in the conventional manner, have higher yields due to less bran contamination. This selective removal of the bran layers also facilitates low cost production of specialty bran products or selective reintroduction of bran layers to flour after, or during, further milling.
