Inventor: DAUN MICHAEL
IPC: G02B7/198
Filed: 1990-02-26
Abstract: A mirror alignment and damping device (10) maintains orthogonality between the fixed mirror and the moving mirror in an interferometric spectrometer. The device (10) includes electromagnetic motion imparting units (32, 34, 36, and 38) which have electromagnetic coils (40) and threadedly adjustable pole pieces (44). The electromagnetic motion imparting units (32, 24, 26, and 38) are preferably arranged along perpendicular axes along a base (12) in order to enable independent orthogonal tilting of the mirror (26). Each voice coil consists of a wound wire coil (40) immersed in an annular magnetic field created by permanent magnets (42) which are mounted on a mirror support (44). A course tilt adjust is accomplished by adjusting the pole pieces (44) toward or away from the permament magnets (42) so as to increase or decrease the gap between the permanent magnets (42) and the pole pieces (44), thereby causing a corresponding increase or decrease in the magnetic forces acting between the magnets (42) and pole pieces (44). A fine adjust is then accomplished by inducing an appropriate current through the wire coils (40). Damping results from the use of a thermoplastic collar (22) which is sandwiched between the base (12) and the mirror support (24).

Abstract: A disc brake caliper assembly for a rotary disc brake of a vehicle which has a wear adjustment mechanism is described. The disc brake caliper assembly (10) includes a caliper housing (14) with a piston (28) slidably mounted therein, but prevented from rotating by a lug (30) on a brake shoe (16) secured thereto which keys in a groove (32) in the piston. An actuator screw (44) and actuator nut (66) are positioned in an internal bore (65) in the piston for mechanical actuation of the brakes. If the brake pads (20,22) wear, on hydraulic actuation of the brakes, a thrust washer (70) engages and moves the actuator nut axially along the actuator screw to a new position which restricts reverse movement of the piston to a new (wear adjusted) position relative to the caliper housing. Actuator means (68) having a friction clutch surface biased into engagement with a friction clutch surface on the piston prevents reverse movement of the actuator nut.

Abstract: This invention relates to an expanded heat-insulating material containing a reduced amount of a fluorocarbon blowing agent for use in a freezer, refrigerator or the like. It is produced by stirring a mixture of a carbon dioxide adsorbent having a hydrophobic surface, a premix component containing water, and an isocyanate component. According to the expanded heat-insulating material thus produced, the amount of the fluorocarbon blowing agent to be used can be reduced since water is used as the blowing agent, while carbon dioxide generated by the reaction of the isocyanate with the water can be removed after foaming by adsorption with the carbon dioxide adsorbent, and the gas present in the bubbles becomes enriched with the fluorocarbon gas.

Title: Method and apparatus for composting using improved charging and discharging sequence.
Inventor: JOHNSON RICHARD P
IPC: C05F17/02
Filed: 1990-05-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for composting of organic matter. A ram advances the entire mass of organic matter within the composting chamber to create an evacuated space in the composting chamber, which evacuated space is of substantially greater volume than the volume of an incremental inlet space. The incremental inlet space is a space in the composting chamber defined by a projection of an inlet opening into the composting chamber. After the creation of the evacuated space, a new charge of organic matter is fed through the inlet opening. The ram then moves this new charge of organic matter into the evacuated space in the chamber to join the existing mass of organic matter already in the chamber. The ram also lightly compresses the new charge to a predetermined density or porosity. Typically, the extent of compressive force applied to the new charge is less than that required to move the entire mass of organic matter through the chamber. In this way, the new charge remains sufficiently porous and uncompacted so as to facilitate drying with air which is circulated through the chamber. Once the new charge is sufficiently dry, the entire mass of organic matter may then be moved by the ram to create a new evacuated space in the chamber.

Abstract: Rope movement is detected through a rope movement change quantity at predetermined time intervals and the rope movement quantity is obtained by the accumulated value of the change quantities. When a hook structure reaches a spiral length position, the accumulated rope movement value is reset automatically to zero to update the reference position of rope movement, and measurement error of rope movement is corrected. The hook structure suspension length from the tip of a boom or jib is determined from the rope movement quantity thus obtained, and the hook lift is calculated. The hook lift or hook structure position thus calculated is displayed on a display with reference to a fixed index or pattern and the operator can monitor the behavior of the hook structure on the display.

Abstract: Dans un procédé d'épuration d'eaux résiduaires chargées essentiellement de matières organiques, on effectue l'évaporation et la condensation des eaux résiduaires, à l'intérieur d'un circuit primaire, et d'un fluide secondaire, à l'intérieur d'un circuit secondaire fermé, séparé du circuit primaire et renfermant un condenseur, les eaux résiduaires étant évaporées par échauffement au contact du fluide secondaire, lui-même réchauffé préalablement dans le condenseur, et ledit fluide secondaire étant évaporé dans le circuit secondaire, par condensation de la vapeur des eaux résiduaires. La vapeur des eaux résiduaires est alors envoyée dans un cyclone et l'on soutire la solution de fond concentrée qui se forme lors de l'évaporation des eaux résiduaires. Cette dernière étape s'effectue en fonction de la température de surchauffe du fluide secondaire, sur la partie en pression du condenseur, lorsque celle-ci dépasse une valeur de consigne, cependant qu'en même temps, les eaux résiduaires sont introduites dans le circuit primaire, en fonction du niveau de remplissage. Il est ainsi possible de mettre en oeuvre un procédé en continu, suivant une technique simple, pour le traitement d'eaux résiduaires ainsi chargées de matières organiques.
