Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for minimizing vibration over the full operating range of a rotor of an apparatus. The system includes a transducer or an array of transducers for resolving up to six degrees of freedom of motion of a rotor support structure. In one embodiment the transducer is a six degree of freedom accelerometer located near the center of gravity of the structure. In addition to the motion transducer, a shaft position reference sensor is connected to the shaft of the rotor and/or rotor support structure. A signal processor that receives signals from the transducer and the shaft position reference sensor produces Fourier coefficients of motion occurring in each degree of freedom. The system utilizes analytical models or empirically derived data to describe the Fourier coefficients of acceleration (or strain) resulting from each of the available rotor adjustments. The system and method also utilizes an analytical or computational optimization scheme which computes the best combination of rotor adjustments to meet criteria specified by the user. This best combination is used to designate the appropriate adjustments.

Abstract: When using phase control of semiconductor valves (4) for controlling AC voltage converters, in order to regulate the power factor it is necessary to determine the phase angle between the current I and the voltage U by measuring the time difference between the points at which the current and voltage pass through zero. However, disturbances superimposed on the mains voltage cause considerable random fluctuations, particularly in the measurement of the times of the voltage zero-passages, which are transferred to the phase angle and can result in an unstable regulation characteristic. It is therefore proposed according to the invention to make use of a reference time for the voltage zero-passage when determining the time difference, which reference time is derived from the measured values for the true times of the preceding voltage zero-passages.

Title: Device for determining the centric occlusion of molars
IPC: A61C7/00
Filed: 1989-11-02
Granted: 1993-07-28
Abstract: A device for separating the molars and fixing the two jaw joints of a patient in centric relation the device being in the form of a curved shaped article having a front member which is to be introduced between the incisors via a front end of the member for eliminating contact between the molars and for support purposes, with the thickness of the front member decreasing toward the front end. Depending on the extent of penetration of the shaped article into the mouth of the patient between the upper and lower incisors, the thickness of the shaped article and hence the separation of the incisors can be read off from markings on the top of the shaped article. By varying this thickness over the front measurement portion of the shaped article, the dentist can ascertain and read off the smallest possible opening angle (incisor separation) at which the molars in a centric jaw position are separated, and this measurement value can be used as a reproducible variable for any further diagnostic or therapeutic manipulation. The shaped article is easy to manufacture, and easy to clean and sterilize, and permits an extremely precise and accurate, reproducible molar separation in centric relation.

Title: Child resistant dispensing closure

Granted: 1993-09-29
Abstract: A child resistant dispensing closure comprising a first part (11) having a base wall (12) and a peripheral skirt (13) adapted to be threaded onto a container. The peripheral skirt includes interengaging portions (26) that engage portions of the container to prevent removal from the container. The closure also includes a second part or lid (15) connected to the first part by an integral hinge (16) and having a base wall (17), peripheral skirt (18) and a closing portion (19) adapted to extend into a nozzle (20) on the base wall of the first part when the second part is moved into overlying relationship to the first part. Snap lugs (21) on the second part engage bead segments (22) on the first part to hold the second part in closed position. The diameter of the skirt of the first part includes a radial flange (13a) that extends circumferentially about most of the periphery of the skirt. The flange is connected integrally to an outer radially deflectable wall panel (23). The skirt (18) of the second part is smaller than the diameter of the flange (13a) so that the flange projects radially beyond the lid skirt and the lid skirt cannot be raised readily. A shoulder projects axially from the flange to center the lid and support the skirt against radial deflection. By pressing the deflectable wall panel (23) radially inwardly the panel engages an axial rib (25) on the skirt of the lid camming the skirt of the lid upwardly and exposing it so that it may be opened.

Abstract: A process for making cellulose acetate from wood pulp takes wet wood pulp and instead of converting it into dry pulp sheet which is the usual feedstock for acetate, dries and mechanically separates the pulp into a cellulose flock using a pin mill through which a hot drying gas is passed. Deactivation of the cellulose is avoided by control of the drying gas exit temperature to 80 DEG C to 95 DEG C and of the moisture content of the cellulose flock to 4 to 15% by weight. The flock produced may be acetylated directly without any need for reactivation treatments additional to the normal activation with acetic acid.

Abstract: This method produces for wooden constructions new outer-wall mouldings which are manufactured in a simplified, wood-saving manner and which afford substantially improved durability, and weathering protection, and prevent the wood from cracking. Using the hitherto known methods for cutting round wood to form boards and beams, with the subsequent second operation employing separate wood-shaping machines, labour-consuming outer-wall mouldings whose outer faces do not adequately withstand the weathering influences are produced. Using the method for radially cutting round wood which is the subject of the application, the round wood is predominantly radially divided in one operation on a circular-saw machine, and at least two finished, substantially different, new outer-wall mouldings are simultaneously produced thereby, said mouldings affording, due to their hard annual rings cut over their entire surface while upright, at least twice the durability with regard to weathering than hitherto. In addition, the radial-cutting method produces in the new outer-wall mouldings no drying shrinkage and sun cracks and no knotholes, which again contributes to the substantially increased durability. Using only circular-saw cuts, it is possible to produce, in one operation in a circular-saw machine, three substantially different finished outer-wall mouldings. The figures (D, E, F, C) are characteristic of the new radial-cutting method which is the subject of the invention. <IMAGE>

The first tubular structure is cut transversely to form cut edges (17, 18) and then transported, typically as a flat sheet, by means of a carrier (15) to a second work station (25, 26) at which it is formed into a second reinforced tubular structure in which the cut edges (17, 18) extend generally circumferentially. Thus there is provided, by the method of the invention, a second reinforced tubular structure in which the reinforcing element(s) of the first tubular structure is or are re-orientated to extend in a substantially longitudinal direction of the tubular structure.

Abstract: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) analogs whose amino acid sequence includes a heterologous peptide domain such as the RGDX tetrapeptide found in fibronectin or the LGGAKQAGDV decapeptide found in fibrinogen that enables the analog to bind to a moiety that is normally present at sites of desired SOD therapy. The domain is incorporated into the SOD sequence in a manner in which it is available to interact with such moieties but does not destroy the enzymatic activity of the molecule. The inclusion of the domain enables the analog to more readily access the target tissue upon which it is to act and/or increase the corporeal half-life of the molecule.
