Patent EP-0774614-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VIEGAS HERMAN H
IPC: F25D29/00
Filed: 1996-11-15
Abstract: Both an apparatus and method are provided for vaporizing a liquid cryogen and super heating the resulting vapor into a heated gas. The apparatus includes a combustion-type heat source which may burn a fuel such as propane that generates water-containing combustion gases, and a vaporizer coil having an inlet conduit for receiving a flow of a liquid cryogen, such as liquid carbon dioxide, and an outlet conduit for expelling vaporized cryogen. An annular casing surrounds but is spaced apart from the vaporizer coil. The casing isolates the vaporizer coil from contact with water-containing combustion gases generated by the heat source, thereby preventing the formation of unwanted water and ice on the coil, while at the same time transferring heat from these gases to the coil by thermal radiation. A superheating coil is serially connected to the vaporizer coil to further heat the vaporized cryogen. Both the vaporizer coil and super heater coil are compactly configured and disposed within a heat-insulating housing for minimizing heat losses. The device is particularly well adapted for use as a defroster or a heater in a mobile cryogenic refrigeration system.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of controlling the charging
of a bootstrap capacitance (C BOOT ) incorporated into a
switching regulator (2) of a power transistor (M1). The
method consists of carrying out, at each switching cycle, a
comparison between the voltage value (V CBOOT ) at the
bootstrap capacitance (C BOOT ) and a predetermined threshold
voltage (Vs), to change the mode of operation of the
regulator following said comparison. 
     More particularly, the control on the transistor (M1) is
taken off the regulator (2) when the voltage (V CBOOT ) at
the bootstrap capacitance (C BOOT ) is lower than the
threshold voltage (Vs), while the transistor (M1) is forced
into the "on" state through a full cycle. In this way, the
minimum current (I MIN ) to operate the regulator (2) can be
minimised.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device (10) for cutting to size individual shaped parts for roofing tiles from a strip of unset concrete which is continuously fed on a line (16) of contiguous bottom-half moulds (14) of equal length. The device comprises a cutting station (20) with at least one cutting tool on a sliding carriage (22) which can be moved in a reversible manner and is moved at least briefly at the speed of the line (16) parallel to the feed direction (18) thereof. The object of the invention is to provide a device in which more cutting time is available than in known devices, such that deep cuts, for example for verge flashing and gable tiles, can be carried out. To this end, the sliding carriage (22) is driven by a cam mechanism (24) which moves the sliding carriage (22) over a finite path at the speed of the line (16), parallel to the feed direction (18) thereof. The sliding carriage (22) is forcibly guided directly by the cam mechanism (24) which has a substantially heart-shaped cam plate (28) with sections in the shape of an Archimedean screw and comprises guide components (30, 32) abutting the surface of the cam plate (28) and connected to the sliding carriage (22).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to realize a device of simple construction for generating at all times a steady and appropriate
friction resistance even if the speed changes relative to the rotational or linear movement of an object and also easily controlling the
magnitude of frictional force by changing loads. In other words, when a rotational body (1) is caused to rotate in a state in which a load is
axially applied thereto, each roller (2) rolls while in contact with the rotational body (1) and a receiving body (3). Since each roller (2) is
forced to move along the rotational track of the rotational body (1) by being prevented by a cage (4) from rolling in a direction inclined at a
predetermined angle relative to the rotational track of the rotational body (1), a friction force in proportion to an axial load is generated
between each roller (2) and the rotational body (1) and the receiving body (3). At that time, since each roller (2) slips while rolling,
combined sliding friction and rolling friction are generated, whereby a steady resistance can be obtained.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE96/00487 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 29, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 29, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 15, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/29558 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 26, 1996The invention embodies a plate heat exchanger consisting of a stack of ring-shaped plates of identical size and profile, which face each other with their front and rear sides alternately. The heat exchanger surfaces enclosed between an inside and an outside flat edge have a predominantly wave-shaped profile. The waves trace a spiral path and each of them begins and ends in a plateau impressed up to the height of the wave peaks. The plate has a hole in the middle of each plateau. The plates are welded or soldered in the places where they touch in the stack. A heat-releasing medium is introduced to the plate heat exchanger from the periphery and flows through it radially. In the radial counterflow, a heat-absorbing medium flows through the heat exchanger and is introduced and flows away via ring tubes on the front sides. The heat-absorbing, expanding medium has a flow cross section which increases with the radius, and the heat-releasing medium which falls in volume has a decreasing flow cross section. As distinct from known oil coolers, the filer is not connected axially but accommodated in the housing periphery. The result is that the filter has a larger surface and thus also a longerservice life. This also reduces the dynamic load on the heat exchanger (FIG. 2).

Abstract: A support leg (1) comprises a pivotable upper part (2) and a lower part (3) that is protrudable relative to the former, said lower part having a support foot (4). On the upper leg part (2) is arranged a rod (14) being displaceable movable which at one end is connected with a flexible tractive means (11), e.g. a chain, and at the opposite end is actuatable by the support foot (4). The tractive means (11) is laid over a pulley means (20) that separates inner and outer parts (11', 11'') of the tractive means. When pushing in the lower leg part (3), the rod is carried with the same, while lengthening the inner chain part (11') at the same time as the outer part (11'') is shortened, as the support leg pivots in the direction of a raised position. When pushing out the lower leg part, the rod (14) is allowed to move in the opposite direction, while shortening the inner chain part (11') and simultaneously lengthening the outer part (11''). In this way, a pivoting of the support leg in the direction of a lowered position is made possible.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé permettant de traiter un signal modulé par des symboles d'information pour compenser un décalage et une pente supplémentaires. On effectue tout d'abord une estimation initiale du décalage et de la pente puis on prend des hypothèses correspondant à toutes les valeurs possibles d'une séquence constituée d'au moins un symbole d'information. Pour chacune de ces hypothèses, on utilise la séquence associée de symboles de données pour obtenir une meilleure estimation du décalage et de la pente, et l'on stocke l'estimation améliorée du décalage et de la pente. Pour chacune de ces hypothèses, on utilise l'estimation améliorée du décalage et de la pente pour calculer une valeur estimée du signal et l'on calcule la différence entre un échantillon du signal modulé et cette valeur estimée. On procède ensuite à une extension de ces hypothèses d'un symbole, on actualise les estimations du décalage et de la pente, on cumule les différences de façon à obtenir une valeur métrique de voie pour chaque hypothèse étendue, et l'on effectue une résolution entre lesdites hypothèses en fonction desdites valeurs métriques de voie au moyen d'un procédé séquentiel de Viterbi d'estimation des séquences de probabilité maximale dans le but d'obtenir l'hypothèse la plus probable desdits symboles d'information modulés, pratiquement non altérés par le décalage et la pente supplémentaires.
