Abstract: A mechanical device for checking the level to which cylinders and the like are filled with liquid gases, comprising a feeder pipe anchored to the cutoff valve unit of the cylinder. At the lower end of the pipe there are provided openings which are connected to the inside of the cylinder and in a front region there is provided a closure membrane made of flexible material and centrally provided with at least one through hole. The membrane is peripherally locked between the rim of the end of the tubular element and a hollow body which is anchored coaxially to the feeder and is provided, in an upward region, with a cavity which allows the membrane to deform correspondingly in order to directly connect the free end of the tubular feeder body to the lateral openings thereof. The hollow body has a cavity which is coaxial to the hole of the membrane and leads into a chamber in which there is provided a shutter body movable axially by means of a cam which is associated with a floating device. In this way, during the filling of the cylinder, the membrane is allowed to deform under the pressure of the gas being fed, making it flow out into the cylinder and, in small amounts, through the holes of the membrane and of the cavity of the hollow body. In the same way, once the level has been reached, the floater is allowed to arrange the cam so that the shutter can close the end of the hollow body, so as to allow the membrane to move to a stable closure position on the end of the feed pipe by means of the counterpressure generated by the gas that acts on different areas of the two opposite sides of the membrane.

Abstract: For use with a wetwell having a geometrically regular upper portion and a geometrically irregular lower portion, a method is provided for estimating the volume in the lower portion. Upper and intermediate level sensors are provided in the upper portion of the wetwell, and a lower level sensor is provided in the lower portion. The volume between the intermediate and upper levels is first calculated. Then, the wetwell performs a series of cycles, each allowing the wetwell to fill with liquid between the lower level sensor and the upper level sensor while the pumping means is off or at a low rate, then causing the wetwell to be emptied from the upper level to the lower level by running the pump. During the filling part of each cycle, the time required for liquid to rise between the lower level and the intermediate level is noted, as is the time required for the liquid to rise between the intermediate level and the upper level. If these times are T2 and T1, respectively, the next step is, for each cycle, to multiply the upper volume (that between the intermediate and upper levels) by T2/T1, thus arriving at an estimate of the lower volume between the lower level and the intermediate level. Each such calculated estimate is stored, and all estimates are averaged to provide a good approximation of the actual volume between the lower and intermediate levels.

Abstract: Un système de communication de données numériques bidirectionnel qui génère des signaux d'horloge et porteurs en amont cohérents depuis une horloge récupérée en aval, générée à partir d'une horloge maîtresse dans une unité centrale. L'espèce préférée utilise n'importe quelle fréquence d'horloge en aval et génère une horloge en amont à phase cohérente, tant que les deux vitesses d'horloge peuvent être liées par le rapport M/N où M et N sont des entiers. Un mode de réalisation utilise un MCNS en aval et en amont, un SCDMA en amont et utilise des messages d'horodateur MNCN en aval pour obtenir une estimation du décalage de trame RU avant d'établir l'alignement de trames à l'aide d'un processus de sélection. L'utilisation de messages de l'horodateur pour estimer le décalage est facilitée par une méthode de triage faible pour l'insertion des messages de l'horodateur en évitant le chevauchement des en-têtes de paquets MPEG avec le message de synchronisation. La dérive de l'horloge est détectée par le comptage des cycles d'horloge en amont sur un intervalle prédéterminé d'horloge en aval et l'émetteur RU est arrêté si une dérive est détectée afin d'éviter les interférences ISI dues aux codes mal alignés. Un émetteur SCDMA pour l'environnement minislot de 802.14 et MCNS est divulgué avec un récepteur pour l'environnement minislot utilisant le démultiplexage TDMA ou SCDMA.

Title: Method and apparatus for lapping of workpieces
Inventor: MALKIN DANIEL D
IPC: B24B37/08
Filed: 1999-11-05
Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: A lapping assembly for lapping a group of workpieces including a pair of lapping discs and a cassette for positioning the workpieces between the lapping discs. The lapping discs are provided with two-component translational oscillations at the appropriate cutting speed, parallel to their working planes. This motion is effected using crank pins rotating about a coaxially positioned axis and elastic members (or swivel-supporting) members coupled to the body of the lapping machine to prevent the lapping discs from rotating. The cassette has an opening having a curvilinear shape for holding the workpieces, and protrusions which extend into the opening. The cassette is mounted on a support element and equipped with a drive to rotate it about a stationary axis. Alternatively, the cassette can be fixed during treatment and the lapping discs can be rotated at a speed less than the cutting speed. The combination of the curvilinear shape of the opening, the oscillations provided to the cassette and the relative rotation of the cassette in relation to the lapping discs cause workpieces to circulate within opening in a pseudo-random manner. The apparatus may also be adapted to finish workpieces to differing heights through the use of a sensor coupled to one lapping disc to detect the pre-set proximity of the other lapping disc.
