Title: Stirling cycle machine
IPC: F16J15/52
Filed: 1983-06-03
Granted: 1986-05-07
Abstract: A stirling cycle engine, especially for refrigerating motors, comprising a housing in which are assembled a rotating shaft, at least three working cylinders arranged in parallel round the shaft, a double-acting piston in each of the cylinders, and a mechanical transmission converting the reciprocating movement of the pistons into a rotary movement of the shaft. The housing has a first chamber (1) in which the rotating shaft is assembled, and a second chamber (2) in whch the mechanical transmission is assembled. The latter consists of an orbiting oscillating plate (13, 14) immobile in rotating and having an axis which describes a conical surface about the rotating shaft, and of articulated connections linking each piston (4) to the oscillating plate. An elastic gasket (18, 19) between the housing (11) and the oscillating plate (13, 14) prevents communication between the first and second chambers (1, 2), and each articulated connection (15, 22) is assembled in a receptacle (3) of a component connected rigidly to the piston (4), the space in the receptacle (3) being isolated from the second chamber (2) by elastic gaskets (23).

Abstract: A signal pre-processing method for detecting valid Manchester-encoded activity on a line carrying Manchester-encoded data signals to an inexpensive Manchester- decoding receiver. Detection is provided by monitoring both a positive-level presence and a negative-level presence to determine whether the received Manchester-encoded signal exceeds a predetermined positive voltage or falls below a predetermined negative voltage. Following detection of such line activity, the received signal is determined to be validly Manchester-encoded if it first crosses a predetermined positive level or a predetermined negative level after having first previously crossed the opposite level within a time interval of 3/4 to 1 1/4 of the inter-bit period of the received data signals.

Granted: 1990-05-09
Abstract: The burner (1) has a suction pipe (9) with a blower (16) and a regulation member (10) which varies the cross-section of the suction pipe (9). A flow measuring apparatus (12) provided with a sensor (14) measures the air stream circulating in the suction pipe (9). On one hand it is necessary to supply a predetermined air amount (vo) for an optimum combustion of the fuel and on the other hand the natural chimney draught which determines the air flow rate is subjected to strong variations due to weather conditions which may be so important that in extreme cases the direction of the chimney draft may even be reversed. The sensor (14) is connected to a regulating device (16) which on one hand acts on the member (10) and/or on the control (7) of the blower (16) so as to maintain the optimal air flow independently from atmospheric influences. As a function of those influences and therefore of the natural chimney draugth, the cross-section of the passage of the member (10) is enlarged or reduced by the regulating device (15), or the blower (16) is switched on or off or its rotational speed is modified or its orientation is reversed.
