Granted: 1993-10-12
Abstract: SUBMODULATION OF A PULSE-WIDTH-MODULATED SOLENOID CONTROL VALVE            Abstract of the Invention A PWM solenoid operated valve control arrangement which substantially eliminates supply voltage dependent variability of the valve without the expense or inefficiency of a conventional voltage regulator.  The coil of the solenoid valve is pulse-width-modulated in relation to the commanded output result and the energization periods are submodulated in relation to the magnitude of the supply voltage.  The effective voltage applied to the coil, and hence the operating characteristics of the solenoid valve, are thereby made substantially independent of supply voltage variations.

Abstract: The  present  invention  relates  to    coated gall-resistant  surgical  saw  blades.    One  such  blade  includes longitudinal ribs extending outwardly from the opposed faces thereof which combine to define a total blade thickness greater than the width of the lateral extension of the teeth thereof. The  ribs  are  sized  and  configured  to  slidably  engage  a precision slot in a guide means designed to be used to guide the blade in cutting movements.   The interaction between the ribs and the slot prevents engagement of the blade teeth with the slot while reducing the surface area of engagement of the blade with the slot to reduce friction.  All disclosed blades are coated with a hard, lubricious, metallic, wear resistant coating which is metallurgically bonded to the metallic surface of a respective blade through a coating process forming a part of the present invention.

Abstract: A water-continuous composition, that contains, calculated on the water:  (i)  more than 200 ppm amino acid residues; and (ii) more than the critical concentration of one or more gelling polysaccharides capable of forming a reversible gel, is cooled from above the gel setting temperature of the water-continuous composition to below the gel setting temperature and is subjected to shear conditions such that the water-continuous composition is converted into small gelled aqueous beads.  A fat-continuous dispersion is formed, while maintaining the temperature at below the gel melting temperature, in which the dispersed gelled aqueous phase has a droplet diameter distribution value sigma which exceeds 0.9 micrometers (microns).  The process allows the simple preparation of water-in-oil dispersions of very low fat content.

Granted: 2001-12-11
Abstract: In an apparatus for automatically wrapping a cover material about a steering wheel of a vehicle, a support arrangement is provided for supporting the steering wheel covered with the cover material, in a first plane extending perpendicularly to an axis of the steering wheel. A clamp arrangement clamps an annular strip body of the cover material to an outer peripheral section of the steering wheel supported by the support arrangement. A wiper arrangement urges one of a pair of side skirts extending respectively from side edges of the annular strip body, against an inner peripheral section of the steering wheel.      In a method, the steering wheel is covered with the cover material such that free edges of the side skirts can be abutted against each other at the inner peripheral section of the steering wheel. One of the pair of side skirts is adhered to the steering wheel while the one side skirt of the cover material is wrapped about the steering wheel from the free edge of the one side skirt to a location adjacent to the recesses. An urging tool having an urging surface following a concave surface of each of the recesses in the steering wheel is used to urge each of non-adhering portions of the other side skirt of the cover material against a corresponding one of the recesses along an urging direction, thereby adhering the non-adhering portion to the recess.

Abstract: A door handle assembly including an escutcheon plate,  a  handle  secured  to  the  outer  face  of  the escutcheon plate, and a turn lever mounted on the outer face of the escutcheon plate.  The turn lever includes an actuator portion which passes through a transverse slot in the escutcheon plate and through an actuator hole in the door for access to the actuator of a latch assembly so as to move the latch assembly between latched and unlatched positions in response to turning of the turn lever.   The actuator portion of the turn lever may be moved laterally within the slot in the escutcheon plate to accommodate door installations in which the actuator hole is centered with respect to the mounting holes for the escutcheon plate as well as installations in which the actuator hole is offset with respect to the mounting holes and the lever portion of the turn lever acts in both installations, and in all positions of the actuator portion of the turn lever, to completely mask the slot so as to preserve a pleasing exterior appearance for the door assembly.   The slot also allows the  same door assembly to be used for either right handed or left handed installations.  The slot is provided offset with respect to the longitudinal midpoint of the escutcheon plate so as to accommodate the vast majority of door installations and a further slot is provided on the midpoint of the escutcheon plate to accommodate those installations where the actuator hole in the door is centered with respect to the mounting holes in the door.

Granted: 1994-10-18
Abstract: A self-aligning quick pick-off rip fence for use in a table saw is disclosed.  The rip fence holds a workpiece relative to a rotatable saw blade extending through an upper surface of the table saw for longitudinal or rip cutting along the length of the workpiece.  The rip fence includes a fence head slidably mounted to a front rail that is attached to the table saw.  A fence channel is mounted to the fence head at a first end and extends across the upper surface of the table saw in generally parallel alignment with a plane extending through a rotatable saw blade and terminates in a second end.  A self-aligning bearing is attached to the second end of the fence channel and is slidably mounted relative to a rear rail attached to the table saw.  A handle assembly is mounted to the first end of the fence channel and is interconnected to the self-aligning bearing for engaging and disengaging same in locked and unlocked relationship to the rear rail.  When locked to the rear rail, the self-aligning bearing causes the fence channel to be aligned in substantially squared position relative to the front rail, and when unlocked from the rear rail, enables the entire fence head and channel to be removed from the table saw.  The self-aligning quick pick-off rip fence further includes both parallel and incremental adjustment structure for adjusting the fence in parallel relationship to the plane extending through the saw blade as well as precise incremental adjustment of the fence channel relative to the saw blade.
