IPC: D06F34/18
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: A cloth amount detecting device in a washing machine including a process controller for controlling a process of washing, rinsing and spin-drying cloths put into the washing machine is designed to detect the amount of the cloths. If the user of the washing machine changes the level of water within the washing machine to a different water level after the amount of cloths has been detected, a reference value used to determine the amount of cloths is updated by learning in dependence on the water level so changed by the user and the number of waveforms of a drive motor, thereby to accomplish a determination faithful to the amount of cloths.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for making rubber mixtures (rubber compounds) having an internal mixer with floating weight (1) for the basic mixture and, disposed below this and operating in a batchwise manner, an internal mixer (4) without floating weight to which the basic mixture is fed without intermediate storage. In order to be able rapidly to cool the basic mixture in the internal mixer without floating weight and complete the final mixing process reliably and rapidly, the invention provides for only one part of the active surface (31) of the rotor of the internal mixer without floating weight to be provided with a surface wear protection layer. Preferably this layer is provided only in the region of the effective edges of the rotor projections, whereas the other part of the active surface is free of the aforementioned wear protection layer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of detecting wear in moving mechanical parts is described in which a gas with a predetermined pressure PA is blown against the surface of a moving mechanical part at a predetermined distance s. The backflow of gas brought about at the surface of the mechanical part by the dynamic effect is sensed and the dynamic pressure PR arising in the process is measured. The dynamic pressure PR is compared with the pressure PA with due allowance for the distance s. The change in the dynamic pressure is a measure of the wear. The apparatus comprises at least one nozzle (1) arranged at a distance from the surface of the mechanical part (7) and having a gas-discharge passage (2) which is fed by a gas which is under a predetermined pressure PA. This nozzle (1) has a gas-inlet passage (3) for sensing the dynamic pressure, which is intensified in a pressure intensifier (5) and is measured in a pressure-measuring device (11). The intensified dynamic pressure PY is compared with the predetermined pressure PA in an analysing unit (12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A finite state machine connected to a plurality of units which enables to manage the execution of M asynchronous signals to select one of these M asynchronous signals which may become a user clock at a moment which is independent from the pulse of the state machine clock within a minimum of time. The state machine comprises a combinational logic circuit (1) receiving a set of primary input signals (3) which contains N asynchronous input signals and outputting state variable output signals (6) to a state variable register (2). The register (2) is driven by a clock signal (7) which is the clock signal of the state machine and provides M state variable register output signals (51, 52) to M additional latches (10, 20) which delay the signal until they receive a timing pulse (71 or 72) from the combinational circuit. The moment when a pulse is generated is defined by one of the M equations determined by a particular need whose requirements are inputted among the set of primary input signals (3) in the combinational circuit, the equation may also depend on the variable which indicates the signal selected by means of line (50) looping back to combinational logic circuit so that said state machine may be used as a clock select selecting one of the clock input signal to become a user clock; and each time an equation is satisfied, the combinational circuit generates a timing pulse to the corresponding latch which generates then an output signal (53 or 54) to the different units and also to the combinational circuit to indicate the present state of the state machine. Those output signals (53, 54) may be used in connection with a selection means (110) to select which clock input signal is to become a user clock.
