Inventor: BEECK ALEXANDER DR
IPC: F01D11/04
Filed: 1995-09-20
Abstract: The method for the shaft seal uses blocking air (S) with a higher pressure than that of the exhaust gas (A) in the exhaust gas channel (32). This air is fed into the bush (18) and then into the exhaust gas channel. Rotor cooling air (R) is taken from a compressor stage and fed via a pipe conduit (19) through the exhaust gas side shaft end into the rotor (2). A part of the rotor cooling air leakage is branched off to a part of the labyrinth seals and is used as stop air. In the bearing space (16) ambient air is introduced as cooling air (K), and via the stop bush is sepd. from the stop air, equally distributed on the periphery and transported outwards through passages (8) in the exhaust gas diffusor (9).

Abstract: A rolling bearing sealing device comprises a first, truncated-cone surface (21) integral with the non-rotating race (11) of the bearing and diverging axially towards the outside of the bearing, and a second truncated-cone surface (23) parallel to the first surface (21). The second surface is integral with the rotating race (16) of the bearing. The first and second surfaces (21, 23) are spaced apart and facing each other so as to determine therebetween a gap (25) of truncated-cone shape having a length (L) and a width (w) such to resist water entering in a chamber (26) communicating with the outside when the bearing is at rest, and expel water centrifuging it out of said chamber as the bearing rotates.

Abstract: The method involves controlling the idling speed via an electronic controller according to boundary conditions, whereby the heat given off by the engine is used to heat the vehicle. As a boundary condition a heating requirement is taken account of as an increase in revolution rate. The revolution rate, esp. the idling speed, is only increased when an increase in revolution rate does not arise anyway as a result of another boundary condition. A freely selectable heating demand above a minimum value can be taken into account.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement for adjusting the level and/or dynamic range of an audio signal in a transmission system and particularly in a mobile station. According to the invention, the level of acoustic noise in the environment of a terminal (10, 12) and the level and noise level of a received signal are measured (123) and the level and/or dynamic range of the reproduced signal are adjusted (121, 122) according to the results from said measurements. The solution according to the invention helps reduce the effect of noise in the signal transmitted on the transmission channel (11) and of the acoustic noise in the environment of the terminal (12) on the intelligibility of the reproduced information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photoreceptor drum (15) having a toner image formed on its surface, a transfer drum (11) having a dielectric layer (28), a semiconductive layer (27) and a conductive layer (26) arranged orderly, a power source section applying a predetermined voltage to the conductive layer (26), and a ground roller (12) which is grounded and comes in contact with the surface of the dielectric layer (28) through a transfer paper (P). In addition, in the image forming apparatus, a foaming body having elastic property is used for the semiconductive layer (27), and a diameter of foams in the semiconductive layer (27) is controlled within the range of between 200 µm and 400 µm. Alternatively, the average micro-gap (which is obtained by equalization of a micro-gap formed between the semiconductive layer (27) and the dielectric layer) (28) may be controlled within the range of between 20 µm and 50 µm. Consequently, a stable electrostatic attraction of the transfer paper (P) to the transfer drum (11) is achieved, and unsatisfactory transfer of the toner image onto the transfer paper (P) is prevented. The image forming apparatus realizes an excellent image formation onto the transfer paper, and the arrangement capable of reduction of the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toner bottle having a body with a convexly-shaped spiral rib (45) continuously formed on the inside surface thereof and a tip with an opening for toner to flow therefrom. A section joins the body and the tip, which section has a first circular face having a slope convex portion (46) that slopes toward the inside, and a second circular face having a toner pump-up portion (47), the diameter of which is approximately same as that of said body. There is a shutter (16) rotatably disposed on the tip to normally close the opening. The shutter has an opening that fits over the tip opening when the toner bottle is rotated inside the shutter. The shutter may be made of elastic material, and is composed of arcs having different thicknesses. A thicker one of the arcs is used to keep the tip opening closed except when being used in a toner supplying apparatus. The toner bottle allows the toner to flow in a continuous manner, and prevents users from dirtying their hands when replacing toner bottles.

Abstract: The steering wheel can be tilted about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the steering column, and moved downwards and, at the same time, it may be moved axially back by virtue of a telescopic joint on the steering column itself; by holding the steering wheel in a precise tilted position in which the widest arc of the rim is disposed upwardly, the steering wheel is freed from the normal driving position and may be tilted forward, encircling the binnacle with the widest part of the rim and, therefore, can be slid axially to a fully tilted position in which the steering wheel is substantially leaning against the dashboard; in this way the obstruction of the steering wheel is removed when not in use, thereby rendering useable the space above and below the normal steering wheel position.

Abstract: A silver composition is disclosed which contains silver powder or flake,
a water soluble binder, an organic water soluble solvent and an inorganic
binder. Generally, the composition will also contain water. The water soluble
binder is especially chosen such that it has the property after dissolution in
water, followed by water removal that it can be again dissolved in water (as
opposed to water resistance as in a paint). The silver composition as a film or
coating also lacks water resistance (prior to a firing operation) which can aid in
pattern formation.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes two connector housings. One of the housings has a locking arm engageable with the other housing in the fully fitted condition. A spring member urges the housings apart unless in the fully fitted state. The locking arm is deflected to compress the spring member during fitting. In the fully fitted state the locking arm moves to an undeflected condition and the spring member consequently adopts a position which blocks further movement of the locking arm to the deflected state, thereby latching the connector housings with certainty against forcible separation on the engagement axis.

Abstract: A semiconductor light amplifier device emits, from an exit end processed to yield no reflection, outgoing light with a light quantity corresponding to a driving signal input from a driving circuit. This outgoing light irradiates, by way of an optical system, an object to be measured; whereas the reflected light, scattered light, and diffracted light generated by the object trace back the optical system and are made incident on the exit end of the semiconductor light amplifier device in a feedback manner as return light. Accordingly, the light amplifier device performs optical amplification as the return light is incident thereon, thereby increasing the light quantity of the outgoing light. This change in light quantity of the outgoing light is detected by the light-receiving device and output therefrom as a light-receiving signal. Thus, as the relationship between the driving signal and light quantity of the outgoing light in the semiconductor light amplifier device changes in response to the light quantity of the return light, an optical characteristic of the object is measured. Therefore, a photodetector apparatus can be obtained, in which, as noise caused by the return light is suppressed, a high S/N ratio and a wide dynamic range are attained while a high-speed response is enabled.
