Patent EP-1666705-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FURUTA H
IPC: F04D27/02

Abstract: Temperature of each cooling target fluid is detected. When the flow rate of a cooling target fluid passing through a cooling means (30) is high, such as when either one or both of the levers are being operated, the fan revolution speed of a cooling fan (17) of the cooling means (30) is controlled to achieve a target fan revolution speed (Ntf) so that the detected temperature of the cooling target fluid reaches a preset target temperature. In cases where the engine is in either AEC state or one-touch low idling state with the levers at the neutral position, the flow rate of each cooling target fluid passing through the cooling means (30) is reduced. Therefore, the fan revolution speed of the cooling fan (17) is controlled to achieve a new target fan revolution speed (Ntfnew) that is lower than the target fan revolution speed (Ntf). At that time, a new target fan revolution speed (Ntfnew) for the period during which the levers are at the neutral position is calculated by multiplying the fan revolution speed (Ntf) at that time by the ratio (Ncoe/Nhie), in which Ncoe represents the engine speed for the period during which the levers are at the neutral position and Nhie represents the engine speed for the for the period during which at least one of the levers is operated. The control method described above is effective in reducing thermal strain occurring in a cooling means (30) that is provided with a cooling fan (17), resulting in the improved durability of the cooling means (30).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing at least one coating (3) on at least one section (4) of the surface of a body (2) by the chemical conversion of at least one constituent of the body into at least one constituent of the coating. The method is characterised in that a chemical, non-metallic compound forms the constituent of the body. The method can be described as an 'intrinsic' coating method, as the coating process is not carried out by the external application of material to the surface section, but by the material conversion of the constituent of the body. The method permits the production of a body comprising at least one surface section with at least one coating that has been formed by the chemical conversion of at least one constituent of the body into at least one constituent of the coating. The body is characterised in that the constituent of the body is a chemical, non-metallic compound, for example, a chloride silicate, which is used in the form of luminescent particles as a luminescent substance in a luminescent body (7) of a light-emitting diode (LED). The coating protects the luminescent substance against decomposition by hydration or hydrolysis. The luminescent substance is characterised by improved long-term stability in comparison with similar substances in prior art.

Abstract: A single-use scalpel blade remover ( 1 ) removes a blade ( 33 ) from a tang ( 32 ) of a scalpel ( 30 ) and captures it, in a single-handed operation. The remover ( 1 ) comprises a housing ( 2 ) having a detent ( 16 ), and an actuator ( 3 ) which is operatively juxtaposed with the housing ( 2 ) and moveable alongside the housing in a forward direction from a proximal position (whereat an opening is formed between the proximal ends of the actuator and the housing) to a distal position (whereat the detent ( 16 ) engages the proximal end of the actuator). The blade remover ( 1 ) also includes a cam-operated mechanism ( 14,23,20 ) for automatically separating the heel of the blade ( 33 ) from the tang ( 32 ) as the actuator ( 3 ) is moved to the distal position. In use, the blade ( 33 ) on the tang ( 32 ) is inserted in the opening and the actuator is pushed forward by the tang to its distal position, whereupon the detent ( 16 ) engages the proximal end of the actuator ( 3 ) and retains it in its distal position and prevents rearward movement of the blade ( 33 ). As the heel has been separated from the tang ( 32 ), upon withdrawal of the tang from the scalpel blade remover ( 1 ), the blade ( 33 ) is stripped from the tang and retained captively between the actuator ( 3 ) and the housing ( 2 ).

Abstract: The invention relates to polythiophenes which are interesting as organic materials for the production of electronic components. However, previously known production methods cause impurities due to metal ions and halide ions, said impurities resulting in non-reproducible properties of electronic components produced from said polythiophenes. Hence, the aim of the invention is to create a method for removing said impurities. Said aim is achieved by a method comprising the following steps: (a) polythiophene is treated with an organometallic compound in an inert solvent, whereupon the treated polythiophene is isolated; (b) the polythiophene obtained in step (a) is dissolved in a water-insoluble organic solvent, and the obtained solution (organic phase) is intimately contacted with an aqueous solution of a metal ion complexing agent (aqueous phase); (c) the aqueous phase and the organic phase are separated, and the highly pure, ion-free polythiophene is isolated from the organic phase. The inventive highly pure, ion-free polythiophene has a total halogen content of less than 100 ppm and a total metal ion content of less than 20 ppm. Said polythiophenes are suitable for the production of an electronic component having reproducible properties.

Abstract: A driving circuit is composed of a discontinuous rectangle wave oscillator and a lowpass filter. A discontinuous rectangle wave used herein is composed of voltages Vp, 0 and -Vp. Assuming one cycle is T, a discontinuous rectangle wave has such a configuration that a potential from a time 0 to a time ø is a potential 0, from the time ø to a time (T/6-ø) is a potential Vp, from the time (T/6-ø) to a time (T/3+ø) is a potential 0, ···. Since the third harmonic wave is not included in the discontinuous waveform, the inductance of the lowpass filter can be reduced. Consequently, the lospass filter may be omitted. Further, the amplitude of the fundamental wave can be changed by varying the phase difference ø.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for manufacturing a multi-layer fabric are described, in­cluding at least one fibre layer formed by airlaying combined with at least on further layer which is formed by different technologies, e.g. carding, spunlacing, meltblowing, spunbonding, airlaying, or combined with one or more films. The airforming is performed on a separate formerwire which is applied vacuum via a suction box disposed opposite to a formerhead, and where the airformed fibre layer is transferred to a conveyor wire for joining with a further layer. In order to attain a energy economically and material saving manufacture of such fab­rics, edge trimming is performed at least on the airformed layer before it is joined with one or more other layers for forming the multi-layered fabric, and that the scrap from edge trimming and exhaust from the suction box is returned to the formerhead. By the invention it is possible to attain high production speeds and at the same time to get an energy economical production and simple construction which enable making multi-layer products in which one combines an airlaid fibre web with other webs for achieving desirable properties in the multi-layered product.

Abstract: A tire manufacturing method includes a method for optimizing the uniformity of a tire by reducing the after cure radial force variation. The after cure radial force variation vector is modeled as a vector sum of each of the vectors representing contributions arising from the tire building steps—the tire room effect vector and a vector representing contributions arising from the vulcanization and uniformity measurement steps—the curing room effect vector. In further detail, both the tire room and curing room effect vectors can be further decomposed into sub-vectors representing each radial force variation contribution for which a measurable indicator is available. For a series of tires, the method obtains such measurements as the before cure radial runout (RRO) at one or more stages of the building sequence, measurements of loading angles on the tire building equipment, and measurements made during vulcanization process.
