Abstract: In a method for regulating the height of a fluidised bed in a pyrolysis reactor for the pyrolytic utilisation of waste materials in a fluidised bed (26), the height (h) of the fluidised bed must be held at a constant height for process engineering reasons. To detect the height of the fluidised bed (26), the differential pressure between the fluidising gas before it enters the fluidised bed (26) and the fluidising gas in the pyrolysis gas space (32) is detected and utilised as a representation of the height of the fluidised bed (26). If the height of the fluidised bed deviates from a preset nominal value, the output rate of a discharge device (18), which discharges pyrolysis residue from the pyrolysis reactor (10), is acted upon. As a result of these measures, regulation of the height (h) of the fluidised bed (26) at a preset nominal value is achieved in a simple and inexpensive manner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To mount parts by the SMT method, a process is proposed in which the adhesive used is activated by irradiation with light of a wavelength in the range from 200 to 600 nm before assembling the printed circuit board to such an extent that the desired initial stickiness is retained and no skin formation takes place at the adhesive surface. This makes it possible to allow the adhesive compound to cure in a shorter time and at lower temperatures than hitherto without impairing the wetting power of the adhesive during the assembly of the printed circuit board.

Abstract: A release mechanism for a clutch (10) having an axially movable release sleeve (13) is disclosed. A pressure ring (22) is mounted about the release sleeve (13) by a bearing (20). When the pressure ring (22) is moved toward a disengaged position, it moves the release sleeve (13) in the same direction. A piston housing (25) is mounted about an inner flange (11a) formed on a cover (11) of the clutch by a bearing (26). The piston housing (25) is disposed adjacent to the pressure ring (22) and includes an annular groove (28) formed therein which extends away from the pressure ring (22). An annular piston (29) is disposed within the groove (28), defining a chamber within the piston housing (25). An external port (31) provides communication between the chamber and a source of pressurized fluid for selectively moving the piston (29) axially outwardly into engagement with the pressure ring (22). When so actuated, the pressure ring (22) is moved axially outwardly, causing the release sleeve (13) to be moved to the disengaged position. A hollow pressure ring cover (40) is attached about the pressure ring (22) having circumferential flat portions (40a) formed thereon. One of the flat portions (40a) abuts the adjacent axially extending leg of an L-shaped bracket (43), which is secured to the housing (42) of a transmission or other non-rotating member, so as to prevent rotation of the pressure ring (22) and the piston housing (25).

Abstract: A fire detector contains at least one sensor element (16) which detects the heat emanating from a fire. The sensor element is constructed as a thermocouple (16) whose reference junction is thermally connected to a heat sink (18) which stores the heat and whose temperature corresponds to the mean temperature of the room. The temperature of the measuring point of the thermocouple is influenced both by absorption of radiant energy and by heating due to heat conduction. In the event of a fire, energy components of both types of heat transmission are detected by the thermocouple, so that the fire detector reacts to fires with a high sensitivity. In one embodiment of the invention, a test sensor (82, 84) which receives a test radiation (94) is arranged near the thermocouple (16). The test sensor (82, 84) generates a test signal with the aid of which the degree of pollution of an upstream protective glass (80) is detected.   <IMAGE>
