Abstract: In a damper for a centrifuge (10) for damping the rotor (16) of the centrifuge when the rotor changes rotational velocity through a critical vibrational rotation speed, an improved vibration damper is disclosed. The damper is of the type wherein a conically shaped shaft extension (50) is thrust into engagement with a friction bushing (40) at a circular and central opening to increase shaft section and shift the critical vibrational rotation speed away from the particular critical vibrational rotation speed being traversed. The conical bushing (40) is engaged by a solenoid (55) and translates side-to-side rotor motion to an energy dissipating up and down motion at the solenoid. The improvement disclosed is a conically shaped cone (50) having a negative radius of curvature (52) in section. For small shaft side-to-side excursion (due to small vibration) this conically shaped cone (50) has an initial small slope with respect to the bushing (40) to provide reduced damping of the rotor (16) when small vibration and hence small displacements effect the rotor. For large shaft side-to-side excurssion, this same conically shaped cone (50) has a large slope with respect to the low function bushing (40) which provides for increased displacement of the bushing (40) at large displacements of the rotor (16).

Abstract: When a speed is to be changed, a transmission controller of the present invention judges a load, the quantity of a remaining oil in each transmission clutch (F, R, 1-4) and a speed change path, from which stage to which stage, and changes an electrical instruction pattern to be applied to pressure control valves (51-56) for required transmission clutches in accordance with the result of this judgement so that the speed change can be made always smoothly irrespective of a driving condition. The electrical instruction (C1-C4) to be applied to each pressure control valve (51-56) is compared with an output current (I1-I6) of a drive circuit and with the output (S1-S6) of clutch pressure detection means (101-106) and clutch abnormality is detected on the basis of the result of this comparison. When abnormality is detected, suitable measures are taken to reliably prevent double engagement of clutch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for bar extruding or tube extruding a mixture of plant particles with binding agents, wherein the mixture is pressed, so as to undergo compression, by a pressing ram from a filling and pressing space into a curing channel. A movably arranged mandrel is mounted in the pressing space and guided through the pressing ram. In this process, the mandrel projects beyond the pressing space into the curing channel. This mandrel is arranged so as to be movable in the direction of the pressing ram independently of the movement of the pressing ram. The pressing ram presses the filled material out of the pressing space into the curing channel, the mandrel being moved simultaneously in such a way that the degree of compression remains constant and a uniform post-compression of the pre-compressed mixture occurs. The mandrel can be heated by a liquid or gaseous medium and a plurality of mandrels of any desired cross-sections and lengths are provided.

Title: Continuous cooking pulp quality enhancements
IPC: D21C1/00
Filed: 1989-04-26
Granted: 1993-03-24
Abstract: In the continuous cooking of comminuted cellulosic fibrous material (e.g. wood chips) to produce paper pulp, the material is subjected to a minimum of mechanical action, especially under high temperature and pressure conditions, so as to increase the quality of the pulp. Also, even for large digesters the uniformity of treatment is enhanced, and scaling may be reduced while energy efficiency is increased. Material is fed without significant steaming to a feeder screw (41) within a perforated cylinder (42) mounted at the bottom of an impregnation vessel (35, 135, 235, 335). The material flows upwardly in the impregnation vessel, with screens (46, 146, 246,346) adjacent the top of the vessel thickening the slurry before it is discharged into the top of a continuous digester (50, 150, 250, 350). The discharge from the impregnation vessel to the continuous digester is made with a minimum of mechanical action on the pulp. The impregnation vessel may be disposed within, and concentric with, the digester, or it may located exteriorly of the digester and supply more than one digester. Conduits (62-64) mounted on the exterior of the impregnation vessel, when concentric with the digester, can supply treatment liquid at various locations along the height of the digester.

Abstract: A power transfer circuit includes first and second windings (L1,L2) sharing a common magnetic core (101). Each winding (L1,L2) has associated with it a parallel capacitor (C1,C2) to thus form a pair of "tank" circuits. The first winding (L1) is connected at one end to a voltage supply and, at the other end, to ground through an FET switch (100,200). The switch (100,200) is turned on and off at a predetermined frequency and at a 50% duty cycle. The second winding (L2) and associated capacitor (C2) achieves parallel resonance at the predetermined frequency. Similarly the combined first and second windings (L1,L2) and associated capacitors (C1,C2) achieve parallel resonance at said predetermined frequency. The second winding (L2) need not be electrically connected to the first winding (L1) which transfers energy to it through the magnetic core (101). The transfer circuit efficiently couples power across a dielectric interface to a pickup coil (L3). One particularly good application of the power taansfer circuit is in connection with a contactless Smart Card.
