Inventor: BALD HUBERT
IPC: B28B3/02
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a compressing device for performing compression operations on shaped bodies made of grainy materials. The grainy materials, e.g. wet concrete mortar, are formed into shaped bodies in the mold recesses (106) of the mold boxes by applying vibrations and compression pressure. The invention aims at providing a low-noise low-energy consuming compressing device. In order to achieve a low-noise compression operation, said mold box (106) and vibrating table (124) are rigidly clamped together and harmonic vibrating operation of the vibrating mass-spring-system is ensured. Reduced energy use and effective compression is promoted by applying a vibrating frequency, said frequency being at least partially in the range of the resonance frequency of the mass-spring system. The invention also relates to improvements, more particularly with respect to the design of the exciter actuator and the arrangement thereof in the flow of forces involved. The device is used in concrete machines, foundry-casting machines and sinter-casting machines.

Title: Variable nozzle turbine control strategy
Inventor: MCNULTY MICHAEL J
IPC: F02B37/24
Filed: 2001-02-08
Abstract: A variable nozzle turbocharger (12) creates engine boost. Boost is controlled by controlling the position of vanes within turbocharger. A processor develops a control signal (29) for controlling vane position. The processor develops a value for desired boost and processes that value with a value corresponding to the amount of boost being created by the turbocharger to generate error data (48A) defining error between the amount of boost being created by the turbocharger and the desired boost, and the processor develops a component of the control signal by P-LI-D processing (62) of the error data. Other components of the control signal are a feed-forward value from a look-up table (34) and a value from an overspeed protection function (60).

Title: Fan blade for agricultural combine cooling system
Inventor: KEYS GARY STONE II
IPC: F04D29/70
Filed: 2002-09-23
Abstract: A passive fan blade for a cooling package for use in an agricultural combine comprises a generally rectangular member having an axis, a central mounting area and two opposed legs, each leg having a middle region, a leading region and a trailing region, the leading and trailing regions being angled toward the downstream direction of intended air flow. The trailing regions increase in width in proportion to distance from the axis, while the leading regions decrease in width in proportion to distance from the axis, whereby the member is impelled to rotate in the direction of the leading edges when air flows past the member. In an assembly, the passive fan blade is mounted via a bearing assembly and mounting hardware onto a hub connected to a bracket. In a cooling package, the passive fan blade assembly is mounted on a frame in close proximity to a face of a radiator or a charge air cooler to provide turbulence thereby minimizing accumulation of chaff, dust and debris in order to maintain cooling efficiency.

Filed: 2003-01-27
Abstract: A container of paperboard, corrugated craft paper or the like is provided with one or more walls that moves inwardly with erection of the container and bears against an in-fold flap of an adjacent wall, to square up and reinforce the container. In one arrangement, two opposite hollow walls of a rectilinear container expand inwardly against two inner in-fold flaps, during folding of outer in-fold flaps associated with the two hollow walls, into a position in the plane of the container bottom. Embodiments are disclosed with variations including multiple plies, center dividers, integral lid panels and tear-outs. The container preferably is produced in a knocked down flat shape with four sidewalk folded flat on one another. The container is erected into a rectangular shape by pressing its diagonally opposite corners toward one another. The inner in-fold flaps first are folded up info the plane of the container bottom, which can be done with ample clearance because the adjacent hollow walls are at first flat and retracted. The outer in-fold flaps have a parallelogram connection with the inner and outer panels of the hollow walls, causing the inner one of the panels to move inwardly against the inner in-fold flaps, eliminating the clearance as the outer in-fold flaps are rotated into the plane of the container bottom.
