Patent EP-0438862-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DEEVI SEETHARAMA C
IPC: A24F40/20
Filed: 1990-11-20
Abstract: A heating element (7) for use within a smoking device (8) which, without burning, heats a flavor-generating medium within the device to produce an aerosol, vapor, or flavor, which the consumer may inhale. More particularly, an electrically-powered heating element (7) having a plurality of discrete resistive heating segments (4), only one of which is active at any given time. In a preferred embodiment, the heating element is contained within the device so that the individual heating segments of the element are adjacent to a flavor-generating medium. As each segment of the heating element is provided with power, the flavor-generating medium adjacent to that segment is heated, but is not burned. This heating causes the flavor-generating medium to produce a flavor, aerosol, or vapor, which the consumer of the device may inhale.

Abstract: A UV light source, which has a lamp body which is transparent to UV light, is constructed as a low-pressure mercury-vapour lamp and is provided in particular for use in sterilising systems. The surface of the lamp body is of profiled construction, as a result of which the surface can be enlarged while the dimensions of the UV light source remain constant. In consequence, the pressure resistance of the lamp body with respect to the vacuum in the lamp interior can be increased, with the consequence that the wall thickness of the lamp body can be reduced. This results in reduced radiation losses from absorption, improved cooling as a result of higher conductivity, and operation at higher electrical powers as a consequence of the better cooling characteristics, so that greater emission can be achieved overall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The hypsometer comprises an open boiling vessel consisting of a vessel flask containing the measuring fluid and of a vessel neck attached to said vessel. An electrical heating resistor plunges into said measuring fluid. A temperature sensor measures the boiling temperature of said measuring fluid. The hypsometer comprises an adaptive control system for stabilizing the position of condensation zone in the vessel neck which adjusts the heating capacity to a command value corresponding to the specific boiling temperature involved. In the simplest case, such control is realized by using, as heating resistor, a thermistor having a negative temperature coefficient. In this way, the heating capacity is adjusted, over the whole pressure range, to the specific needs. Thus, on the average, less heating capacity is needed, resulting in a considerable reduction of the battery weight.

Abstract: In a data transmission device 1, before starting of data transmission, a data conduct device 6 detects an external bus 5, and an address comparator section 8 compares the value of the address signal line 5a with the output values of the parameter memory section 7. As the result of the comparison, when it is judged that the data to be transmitted is present on the external bus 5, the address comparator section 8 transmits a write-execution signal to a bus control unit 11 so that the bus control unit 11 writes the data present on the external bus 5 together with the valid bid thereof into the data memory device 10. In the period of data transmission, when the data assigned to the address produced by an address generator 9 is present in the data memory device 10, the data is transmitted to the external destination 2, and on the other hand, when the data assigned to the address is absent in the data memory device 10, the bus control unit 11 gains access to the external memory 4 for obtaining the data corresponding to the address, so that the data obtained from the external memory 4 is transmitted to the external destination 2.

Abstract: An ignition system for a heater using a fuel is indicated, which has at least one glow element, preferably in the form of a glow coil. This glow element is at the same time used as a flame-monitoring device, the PTC action of the same being used, in which an additional resistance increase arises as a result of the flame temperature during flame formation. If a constant current is applied to the glow element during flame monitoring, the additional resistance increase during flame formation brings about a voltage drop which indicates that a flame has formed in the combustion chamber of the heater. Depending upon this, corresponding switching processes can then be triggered in the heater. For example, the ignition system can be switched off. Moreover, even with the ignition system switched off, the current signal can be applied constantly or in a clocked manner during the combustion operation of the heater, so that constant flame monitoring is possible for monitoring the flame formation even during combustion operation. Preferably, the ignition system is in the form of a rod glow plug and has a glow element which is embedded in a ceramic mass. In this connection, the glow element of the rod glow plug preferably consists of tungsten which has a PTC action. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 57 An adiabatic liquid volume sensor system is described, which employs a main chamber in a back-to-back configuration with a reference chamber of known volume. The system measures liquid volume in the main chamber by making low frequency acoustic measurements of the acoustic pressure differences in the two closed chambers when driven with a sinusoidal frequency from the same speaker. Pressure transducers in each chamber measure acoustic adiabatic pressures in each chamber. The ratio of these pressures multiplied by the known volume of the reference chamber yields the volume of gas in the main chamber. The volume of liquid is equal to the known volume of the main chamber minus the calculated gas volume.
