Abstract: An electronic ballast for lamps or tubes is provided. In one embodiment the present invention includes a ballast controller that includes filament heating circuitry and dimming circuitry. The filament heating circuitry may include preheat dimming circuits which preheat the filaments for a predetermined time period prior to striking the lamp, and steady-state heating circuitry that continually heats the filaments during steady state operation of the lamp. The steady state heating circuitry may be adapted to heat the filaments inversely proportional to the dim desired value of the lamp. The dimming circuitry may include conventional analog dimming and/or burst mode dimming to define a wide range of dimming characteristics for the lamp.

Abstract: A device for delivering a preset volume of fluid, such as oil, includes a casing (10) with an inlet port (16), an outlet port (17) and supply passages (22, 24) for flow of fluid from the inlet port (16) to the outlet port (17). A valve including a valve member (24) is situated to control the flow of the fluid through a valve chamber (23). The valve is manually actuated to an open position and held by momentary energization of a latching solenoid (36). When the fluid volume reaches a preset volume, the latching solenoid (36) is energized again to allow the release the valve member (24) to return to a closed position. In the event of a battery low condition, the latching solenoid (36) can be disabled, so that the valve can only be held open manually, thereby preventing an electrical failure with the valve open. A manual push button (21) is directly connected to the valve member (24) for closing the valve manually. A method for controlling the dispensing of a fluid is also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus is described for separating particulate material from an airstream established by sucton. The apparatus comprises a primary separation chamber (12) in which particles are separated from the airstream therein by centrifugal force, a main particle collecting region (14) into which the particles separated by the primary separation (12) can fall under gravity, and a secondary separation chamber (90) downstream of the primary chamber (12), to which air and particles not separated in the first chamber (12), pass. An air outlet in the secondary chamber allows air substantially free of particles to exit. An intermediate particle collecting region is associated with the secondary chamber (90), in which particles collect after separation by centrifugal force from the air flowing through the secondary chamber (90). A valve (41) is provided between the intermediate particle collecting region and a second particle collecting region, which is closed while air flows through the apparatus but which is opened when airflow ceases, to allow particles in the intermediate region to pass into the second region. The second collecting region may be separate from the main particle collecting region (14), or may comprise the second particle collecting region. The valve (41) may be operable manually, electrically, or in response to the flow of air through the apparatus so as to become closed when the air flow reaches and exceeds a given rate of flow, and opens when air fluid flow falls below a given rate of flow. A baffle may be provided downstream of the valve to reduce the tendency for material beyond the valve to be sucked back through the valve while the air flow is being established. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A seal kit for assembly into a system for sealing an elongate heating cable from ambient essentially includes a cone-shaped elastomeric grommet, several molded plastic parts, and a compression spring. The compression grommet forms a sealing interface between itself and a molded plastic enclosure body and between itself and an outer jacket of a heating cable. Cable ends are sealed within a sealed interior space of the enclosure body. A cup-shaped surface of a molded plastic part adjacently facing a congruent cone-shaped surface of the elastomeric grommet forms a slip-plane. The compression spring transfers energy to compress the elastomeric grommet and to cause it to expand radially against an interior wall of the enclosure body and against an outer jacket of the electrical cable and prevents that region of the grommet from becoming bonded over a high temperature operating interval to the inside wall of the enclosure body. When the sealing system cools down, the elastomeric grommet slips longitudinally along at least the slip-plane and thereby maintains a radial seal against the outer jacket of the heating cable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of reducing emission of ammonia from animal manure and a plant for the method and a used of such a plant. The method comprises adding to the manure of both an acid compound such as sulphuric acid, H2S04, and of oxygen, O2. The acid compound results in the pH value dropping to below 7.0 whereby the emission of ammonia is substantially limited. The oxygen results in a very high activity of bacteria transforming organic nitrogen compounds to in-organic compounds that are possible for plants to assimilate when manure is spread in fields. Surprisingly, it has also should to be the case that the oxygen added, and thus the enhancing of the activity of the bacteria. results in a reduction of the amount of acid compound needed to he added and results in reducing, almost eliminating, the risk of hydrogen sulphide, H2S, being formed.

Abstract: In a threaded fastener wrenching structure, an inclination angle ( alpha ) of an arcuate portion (32) of a fitting protrusion (20) is larger than an inclination angle ( beta ) of an arcuate portion (26) of a recess (16) and a wrenching torque is transmitted through an intermediate portion of the fitting protrusion (20) in an axial direction engaged with an opening edge of the recess (16). As a result, a diameter dimension of an engaged part (38) is larger than that in the intermediate of the recess (16) engaged with a tip portion (20a) of the fitting protrusion (20) in a case of  alpha  <  beta , and a smaller force is applied by a constant wrenching torque to the engaged part (38) in inverse proportion to the larger diameter dimension. This restrains a partial damage or a deformation of the fitting protrusion (20) and the recess (16) at the engaged part (38) or allows a small diameter threaded fastener (10) to be efficiently wrenched by higher wrenching torque. A smaller applied force to the engaged part (38) causes stably wrenched state of the small diameter threaded fastener (10) as a result of a small component force in the axial direction to force apart along an inclination of the arcuate portion (32), namely, restraining a bit (18) from coming out of the recess (16). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
