Patent EP-0263631-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RILEY JOHN GRANT
IPC: H05K3/34
Filed: 1987-09-29
Abstract: The conductors (2) exiting from the housing of a component (1) may be grouped conveniently for one customer but inconveniently for others. Manufacturing components with different groupings for each customer would lose the advantages of quantity. So the exiting conductors (2) are connected to plated through-holes in an inner PCB (5). Fastons are connected to plated holes in an outer PCB (8) in a fashion approved by an individual customer. Bridging connectors which are rigid extend between bondings in opposite holes in the two PCB's. The printed patterns on the boards enable the change of grouping of the terminals. Some bridging connectors may be extensions (7) of the exiting conductors (4). They provide rigidity of the boards and also interconnections. The inner board (5) rests on walls (3) from the housing (1), or on ledges or flanges (13) of the connectors.

Abstract: In an automatic ultrasonic testing method for automatically detecting internal flaws of an article (1) such as a solid-core station post insulator and a long-rod insulator, ultrasonic noise is liable to be generated in the ultrasonic testing waveform. To improve the detection of peaks caused by flaws, use is made of a standard waveform having a plurality of maximum peak hold data values predetermined intervals at all the detecting points. This waveform is obtained by detecting the waveforms of normal article including the ultrasonic noise, with which the ultrasonic testing waveforms of an article to be tested are compared. 
     Therefore, it is possible to eliminate instability of the ultrasonic testing waveform and to detect a flaw echo having a level lower than that of the peak ultrasonic noise.

Abstract: A device (10, 110) stores a plurality of dishes or the like in a plurality of stacks, with each stack at an ob­ject-receiving region (28, 128) within the device (10; 110). The device (10; 110) includes a base (12;112) and a plurality of spaced apart partitions (30; 134, 136, 138) for partitioning the space extending above the base (12; 112) into a plurality of object-receiving regions (28; 128). The space between the partitions (30; 134, 136, 138) forms a pair of diametrically opposite slits (60, 62) in each object-receiving region (28; 128). In one embodiment, four generally T-shaped partitions (30) together form four object-receiving regions (28), and a central open region (54). In another embodiment, eight partitions, including two corner partitions (136), four generally T-shaped partitions (134), and two cross-shaped partitions (138), form nine object-receiving regions (128), one of which is a central open region extending above the center of the base (112). The use of diametrically opposed slits (60, 62) facilitates the loading and unloading of dishes and permits the slits (60, 62) to be relatively narrow so that they occupy a relatively small proportion, about 23 % in one embodiment, of the lotal lateral periphery of the object-receiving regions (28, 128). Further, the use of an object-receiving region (128) positioned in the center of the device (110) permits the formation of nine object-receiving regions (128), thereby increasing the number of stacks of dishes that can be stored in the device (110).

Abstract: Hot flue gas, such as the flue gas from a fossil fuel furnace or a waste incinerator, to be scrubbed to remove acidic gas, such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas, and particulates, such as fly ash, is passed to a primary drying chamber and contacted therein with a spray of droplets of an absorbent liquid containing particles of an alkali or alkaline reactant. The droplets are partially dried in the primary drying chamber (10) to a tacky condition before reaching a foraminous collecting member (20) extending through a lower portion of the primary drying chamber whereon it collects as a moist, porous mat (30). As the flue gas continues to flow through the mat (30) depositing on the collecting member (20), the mat (30) serves as a filter for removing particulates, including fly ash, in the gas and the remaining sulfur oxides in the gas react with unreacted particles of reactant and reactive ingredients of the fly ash collected in the mat. The flue gas leaving the primary drying chamber (10) is passed to a secondary drying chamber (100) wherein it is again passed through the mat (30) which is translated across the secondary drying chamber from the primary drying chamber. As the gas passes through the mat in the secondary chamber (100), water is evaporated from the mat to dry the particulate material forming the mat thereby facilitating its subsequent removal. During the start-up and initial operation, a gas permeable supplemental filter means (120) is selectively positioned across the secondary drying chamber (100) and subsequently withdrawn therefrom in synchronization with the movement of the mat (30) into the secondary drying chamber (100).

Abstract: A propellor attachment 10 comprises a collar 34 for engaging a propellor 36 located within a housing 22. The housing 22 is movable against resilient biassing means 30 when the propellor develops sufficient thrust. Motion of the housing 22, by means of a rod 32 contacting a flange 38 on the collar, effects rotation of the collar 34 thereby altering the pitch of the propellor. The force required to overcome the biassing means 30 is set approximately midway between the thrust required for climbing and the thrust required for cruising. The propellor therefore automatically takes up the required pitch for take off/climb conditions and cruising conditions.

Abstract: A web roller (20) is provided with at least two electrodes (70, 72) that are positioned parallel to each other on the roller surface end parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roller. Slip rings (50) provide individual electrical connections to the electrodes (70, 72). The electrodes (70, 72) are spaced apart a distance which permits both electrodes to be in contact with a web (40) of sheet material of the type having a conductive center (44) sandwiched between layers (42, 46) of insulating sheet. A position detector (80), positioned to detect the rotation of the roller, provides a pulse signal of a known magnitude to one of the electrodes (70), through a slip ring, when the electrodes are in contact with the web (40) of sheet material. A sensor (100) coupled to the other electrode (72), through a slip ring, receives the pulse signal after it has passed through the sheet material located between the two electrodes (70, 72). The magnitude of the received pulse is a function of the resistivity of the sheet material.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an extruder 1, particularly a small extruder for transferring plastics material in strand form to a plasticized state. In order to improve the homogeneity, it is provided that the screw portion 7 serving for drawing in be constructed simultaneously for granulating the plastics material which is then melted in the further plasticizing portion 6. The special arrangement of the draw-in channel 12 in relation to the configuration of the screw profile of the granulating screw portion 7 causes the separation and granulation of the drawn in plastics strand, so that material which is already granulated is fed into the plasticizing screw portion 6 projecting into the cylindrical bore hole 10 of the housing portion 9 and can then be transferred into the desired state along a short distance.
