Inventor: KOLZE LAWRENCE ALBERT
IPC: F16K11/048
Filed: 1983-03-10
Abstract: A switchover valve (20) is employed within a heat pump system (10) including a heat exchanger coil (14) within a structure (18) to be heated and cooled, and a second heat exchanger coil (16) external of the structure and in fluid communication with the first coil. The system also includes a compressor (12) which circulates a refrigerant between the coils to effect a net heat transfer into or out of the structure. The switchover valve operates to selectively reverse the flow of refrigerant between the coils, depending upon the operating mode of the system. The valve comprises a body (64) defining inlet and suction ports (22 & 28) for interconnection with the compressor and two reversing valve ports (36 & 40) for interconnection with the coils, a solenoid (196) operated pilot valve (153) and a slave valve (121) for selectively interconnecting the inlet port with one of the reversing valve ports, and a shuttle poppet valve (235) for interconnecting the suction port with the remaining reversing valve port.

Abstract: A self-calibrated clock and timing signal generator provides reliable and continuous arbitrary digital waveforms of preselectable edge resolution. The generator comprises a multistage means (16) to produce a time-delayed signal of preselectable edge resolution and having a plurality of series-connected delay stages (6Q). The delays per stage are substantially identical so that the selection of any one of the outlets is representative of a predetermined amount of delay provided to an input signal to the multistage means. Calibrating means is integrally included to develop a control signal which is coupled to each of the stages of the multistage means to continuously maintain the predetermined amount of delay per stage. In the embodiment described, the calibrating means takes the form of an automatic frequency control (AFC) loop (12) wherein the frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (18) is regulated to be equal to that of a reference frequency. The VCO comprises a plurality of series-connected delay stages (30). The control voltage is applied to each stage to control the period or frequency of the VCO. The control voltage developed to adjust the VCO frequency is also employed to regulate the delay of the stages (60) comprising the multistage means. The stages of the delay line are identical in construction to the stages of the VCO.

Abstract: @ An apparatus and method for use in filling a valve bag (50) eliminates sifting of product during the filling process. A filling nozzle (10) is inserted into the valve of a bag (50) to be filled. A flow of particulate material is provided through the filling nozzle (10) and into the bag. When the bag is full, the flow of particulate material is terminated. A blast of high pressure air is then introduced into the nozzel (10) in order to clear the nozzle of any residual particulate material therein. A low pressure blast of air is introduced between the nozzle and the filling valve to suspend any particles present in the filling valve after the nozzle has been cleared by the high pressure blast. A vacuum is introduced into the nozzle to suck any suspended particles out of the filling valve after the low pressure blast has been introduced. A boot (14) can be inflated around the nozzle (10) to seal the nozzle (10) within the bag valve before filling the bag (50).

Abstract: Herein disclosed is an NMR imaging apparatus for detecting a nuclear spin resonance signal from an object, which is placed in a magnetic field, to produce images of the object. At an instant when the spins come into phase after the signal detection by a first spin excitation, RF magnetic field pulses are applied for rotating the direction of the spin to that opposite to the initial state. After that, the spin excitation and the signal direction of second time are conducted to measure the data which are different in the effect of the relaxation time from the first measurements. By repeating these sequences, it is possible to produce a plurality of images such as an intensity image or a relaxation time enhanced image.

Abstract: The action figure includes two arms mounted to the figure's torso for rocking movement toward the torso about laterally spaced axes, the action figure also including two legs that are mounted for pivotal movement to the torso in a scissors-like fashion. Integral with the rockable mounting means for each arm is an inwardly extending shank, the shanks projecting into end portions of a coil spring. When either arm is moved laterally toward the side of the torso, the spring is flexed into a V-shaped configuration. A link extends downwardly from the center of the spring so that the flexing action imparted to the spring causes the link to move downwardly or upwardly. Each unit for pivotally mounting the legs includes a crank pin that is receivable in forwardly and rearwardly located slots at the lower end of the link. The arms can be independently swung from a position adjacent the sides of the figure to overhead or outstretched positions without affecting their ability to oscillate the legs in a scissors-like manner and thereby simulate running, swimming and kicking movements.

Abstract: A waveform converter circuit for producing an output square waveform, having a unity mark/space ratio, from an input sinusoidal waveform which can have a large peak-to-peak amplitude range and a large d.c. level range. As shown in Figure 5, the circuit comprises a differential amplifier 12 which receives the input waveform 17 at the input (-). The output of the amplifier 12 is applied to a D-type flip-flop 13. The flip-flop a-output is fed via a switched-capacitor filter 15 to the input (-) to provide a corrected d.c. level for the input waveform at this input (-). The flip-flop 3-output is fed via a switched-capacitor filter 14 to the input (+) to provide a slicing level at this input (+). When the output square waveform 19 has a 1:1 mark/space ratio, the corrected d.c. level equals the slicing level. Thus, the circuit will respond to an input waveform with a small peak-to-peak amplitude in the presence of an initial large d.c. level of the input waveform.

Title: Plan sifter
Inventor: EISENEGGER EDWIN
IPC: B07B1/38
Filed: 1984-11-19
Abstract: In a plansifter, a relatively complicated suspension of the sifting box or boxes is necessary, it also being necessary to make the said boxes oscillate by means of at least one separate complicated drive device, its oscillation being propagated into the surroundings of the plansifter when plansifters with a high level of power are used. In order to provide a remedy with respect to these conditions, it is proposed according to the invention to drive the plansifter by means of a common drive (4;104) when there are at least two sifting boxes (1,2;101,102) arranged on top of or next to one another. The drive device contains a motor (68;168) which by means of a belt (99;169) drives one or two shafts (62;162,163) with which the sifting boxes (1,2;101,102) are connected via one eccentric (66;166) in each case. Weights (72,73;172,173;193,194) are arranged on the shafts (62;162,163;183,184) in such a way that they compensate the oscillatory effect of the sifting boxes (1,2;101,102) on the suspended shafts (62;162,163;183,184). The eccentrics (66) are arranged on the shaft (62) which circulates in one direction and on the shafts (162,163;183,184) which circulate in the opposite or same direction and are driven in such a way that the sifting boxes (1,2;101,102) and the weights (72,73;172,173;193,194) are always running counter to them. A high-power plansifter of such simple construction is vibration- compensated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An industrial manipulator, e.g. electric robot, is provided having a self-contained, closed system counter balance means for applying a gravity countering force to a load carrying driven member (15, 55, 61) which is movable up and down. The self-contained, closed system, hydro-pneumatic counter balance means comprise an accumulator (19, 51, 72), having a variable volume of compressed air applying a force to a hydraulic oil, in closed circuit fluid connection (20, 40, 52, 74) to a hydraulic cylinder charged with hydraulic oil and having a piston rod (23, 32, 54, 67) linked to the driven member (15,55,61) for applying a gravity countering forces to the member. Motion of the driven member (15, 55, 61) produces a variation in the volume of compressed air and, therefore, the pressure of the compressed air in the accumulator (19, 51, 72) exerting a force on the hydraulic oil. Advantageously, the robot does not require an external source of pressurised fluid and external controls for operating the gravity countering means.
