Patent DK-76887-A (DK)
Inventor: BUDAI PETER
IPC: B23K9/12
Filed: 1987-02-16
Abstract: A method of controlling a welding operation during arc welding between a fusible electrode and a workpiece, wherein the welding operation alternates between arc periods and short-circuiting periods, includes the steps of sensing a first parameter of the welding operation, for example the arc voltage between the electrode and the workpiece, generating a first signal representative of the first parameter, sensing a second parameter of the welding operation, generating a second signal representative of the second parameter, filtering the second signal to provide a filtered signal, generating a desired value signal based upon the filtered signal and controlling the welding operation based upon the difference between the desired value signal and the first signal. According to the method of the present invention, any changes in the second signal that occur at a frequency outside a predetermined frequency range, which includes a desired short-circuiting frequency of the welding operation, are attenuated such that the desired value signal is less affected by these changes than by changes occurring at a frequency within the predetermined frequency range. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes a band-pass filter having a pass band including the desired short-circuiting frequency.

Title: Irradiation device provided with a gas and or vapour discharge tube
IPC: A61N5/00
Filed: 1974-01-03
Abstract: 1405388 Timing circuits for discharge lamps PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 3 Jan 1974 [25 Jan 1973] 00302/74 Heading H2H An irradiation system includes a discharge lamp 4 connected in series with a stabilizing resistor 3 across supply terminals 1, 2, a circuit including a diode 6 and a resistor 7 being connected in parallel with the resistor 3, and a timing circuit for automatically terminating the radiation from the lamp. The lamp is an ultraviolet emitting sun lamp and the timing circuit includes a potentiometer 18-21 having a tap 24 which is set according to the skin sensitivity of a person to be irradiated as well as a potentiometer 10-17 having a tap 23, the position of which is changed daily to gradually increase the duration of irradiation. On manually closing a switch 5 to the position shown a relay 30 is energized and holds the switch in its closed position thereby supplying power to the lamp. The voltage across the lamp is initially low so that the diode 6 is conductive and the low voltage at the point 8 results in a slow charge of a capacitor 22 in the timing circuit. As the temperature and voltage of the lamp increase, the diode 6 becomes reverse biased and the voltage at the point 8 is determined by the potentiometer 18-21 and the resistor 7. This voltage is therefore increased and the capacitor 22 charges until a threshold voltage of a transistor amplifier 28 is reached whereupon the relay 30 is short-circuited. The switch 5 is changed over to terminate the radiation and discharge the capacitor 22. The system enables the supply of an approximately constant quantity of radiation despite mains voltage variations and variations in lamp characteristics such as variations in the warming up time of the lamp.

Filed: 1954-01-07
Abstract: 745,966. Skinning sausages. KARTRIDG-PAK MACHINE CO. Jan. 7, 1954, No. 466/54, Class 28(2). Sausages are skinned by first pulling on a string of them whereby they untwist themselves. A leading end of the casing is then drawn over a fluid supply nozzle in the shape of a plough combined with a casing slitting knife, the nozzle blowing a continuous bubble of air just ahead of the knife to free the casing from the sausage meat, whereby the casing as it is drawn against the knife is continuously slit, and the skinned sausages become free to drop into a container, Fig. 1 shows a string of sausages 12 attached at one end to a freely. rotatable clamp 14, Fig. 5, and being pulled by hand 42 to untwist the necks between the sausages. The clamp, Fig. 5, has spring fingers 30 clamped on the first sausage when the ring 32 is slid downwards. After untwisting, the clamp 41 is opened and the skin of the first sausage is hand pulled over the air supply nozzle 90, Fig. 14 and slit by the adjacent knife 101 and is threaded between rollers 51 until sufficient casing is provided to wrap it round a rotated pulling drum 117 which continues the operation until all the casing becomes wound thereon and the skinless sausages are freed. The drum 117 is driven in relation to the pulleys 51 but through a slipping clutch. During pulling, the string of sausages is supported by a conveyer 11. The drum 117 having a surface of bulged out segments is then contracted by pulling down a handle 137, Fig. 18, whereby a taper 133 is withdrawn into the taper 134 so allowing the segments 128 to contact together to smaller diameter and allow the roll of casing to be removed over one end. The air supply to the plough is automatically supplied only when the rollers 51 are rotating. In a modification, Fig. 22, one end of the string of sausages is clamped in a rotatable clamp 210 mounted on an upstanding arm 208 of a trolley 206. The other end of the string is pulled to untwist the contractions and is then threaded through the cutting and skin-removing machine, the trolley 206 following up the pull on the sausages. The trolley has a friction spring brake. In another modification an immersion tank alongside the sausage support containing hot water at 140 to 150‹F. receives the string of sausages to wet the casing to facilitate its removal as before.

Title: Improvements in processes of manufacturing preparations containing physiologically-active oxidation-sensitive substances, more particularly vitamins and/or hormones
IPC: A61K31/07
Filed: 1951-01-08
Abstract: Preparations containing a physiologically-active, oxidation-sensitive substance, for example vitamin and/or hormone, in which the physiologically-active substance is mixed to form a solid mass with a fatty substance, is characterised in that to the mixture is added a substance which decreases the hydrophobic character of the surface, the solid mass is divided into particles, preferably pulverised, or treated to provide particles of a pre-determined form, preferably grains, and then treated with an aqueous solution of alkyl cellulose e.g. water soluble methyl or ethyl cellulose.  The fatty substance is a solid ester of a fatty acid containing 6 or more carbon atoms with glycerol, or with a univalent or bivalent aliphatic alcohol, a solid fatty acid e.g. stearic acid, a solid hydrocarbon wax e.g. paraffin wax or synthetic wax, and mixtures thereof.  The hydrophobic character of the fatty substance is decreased by the addition of an inert powder such as licquorice, yeast flour and rice flour.  The powder is added to the solid mixture and/or admixed with the particles prior to treatment with the aqueous solution of alkyl cellulose.  In the example, powdered licquorice is incorporated in a molten mixture of stearin and paraffin wax, vitamin A is added and the mass cooled, ground, mixed with further powdered licquorice and treated with 2 per cent aqueous methyl cellulose.  Specification 618,605 is referred to.
