Title: Stuffing a pliable article into a casing
IPC: A22C11/02
Filed: 1981-04-22
Abstract: A whole boneless ham is stuffed under continuous pressure into a preclipped end of a length of casing deshirred from a continuous shirred casing length while providing for the continuous venting of air from the interior of the casing length, the stuffed casing length being then closed by a clip. The ham is placed in a chamber 34, a lid 42 is closed, a piston is operated to compress the ham laterally and a piston 54 is advanced to force the ham into a tube 30 and the central part of the piston then continues to advance to push the ham right through the tube, into the casing as in U.S. Specification 4044426. Air escapes through holes 62 and between the shirred casing and its support. Rings 26, 28 hold back the casing from slipping forwardly as in U.S. Specification 4077090.

Title: Transporting webs of textile material in screen printing machines
Inventor: MITTER MATHIAS
IPC: B41F15/08
Filed: 1983-01-11
Abstract: Carpet (3) is transported along several processing stations (2) in a screen printing machine (1) by a first pinned roller (5) ahead of the foremost processing station, a second pinned roller (6) downstream of the last processing station, and a driven blanket (4) whose upper stretch supports the carpet (3) between the two pinned rollers (5,6) below the processing stations. The second pinned roller (6) is driven at a peripheral speed which exceeds the peripheral speed of the first pinned roller (5) so that the web portion between the two rollers is tensioned in the space above the blanket (4) and below the processing stations. Discrete driving units (50-58 60-65 and 70-75) are provided for the two rollers (5,6) and for the blanket (4). Any changes in the speed of the driving unit (70-75) for the blanket (4) are communicated to the driving units for the pinned rollers so that the ratio of speeds of the two rollers (5, 6) relative to each other, and to the speed of the blanket (4), remains unchanged irrespective of eventual fluctuations in the speed of the blanket (4). The peripheral speed of the first roller (5) equals or approximates the speed of the blanket (4). In the driving arrangement illustrated, the drive motors (51,61, 71) are controlled and synchronised by tachogenerators and revolution counters (55,65,75), digital regulator (57) and selector (58). The arrangement provides for optimum guidance and tensioning as the carpet passes through the printing machine, <IMAGE>

Title: Radiation pyrometer system
Inventor: ORPET EDWARD GEORGE
IPC: F01D17/08
Filed: 1984-01-12
Abstract: A radiation pyrometer system for a gas-turbine engine, or the like, has a radiation pyrometer (10) that supplies signals to a detector unit (20). The detector unit (20) includes an inverter (21) that inverts the pyrometer signals and supplies the inverted signals to one electrode of a capacitor (24) via a diode (23). The other electrode of the capacitor (24) is grounded, a resistor (25) being connected across the capacitor so that it is slowly discharged. The charge on the capacitor (24) approximately follows the high- voltage/low-temperature signals, which are reinverted by a processing unit (26) to give an averaged temperature indication (27). Periodically, the diode (23) is shorted for brief intervals by a switching circuit (30), so that the charge on the capacitor drops, producing a low-voltage/high-temperature spike representative of instantaneous temperature. These spikes, after reinversion, are fed to a storage device (28) with a long time period so as to produce a signal which follows the high temperature output. <IMAGE>

Title: Ground fault current interrupter circuit with open neutral and open ground lead protection
Inventor: LEGATTI RAYMOND H
IPC: H02H3/33
Filed: 1985-02-11
Abstract: A ground fault current interrupter circuit is provided in which open neutral and open ground lead conditions create actuation of the interrupter circuit, as well as a ground fault. This is achieved by utilizing a supplemental secondary winding (71), responsive to the voltage between the neutral and ground leads (13, 15), on the differential transformer of a common type of ground fault interrupter circuit. By virtue of couplings (81, 85) to the live lead (11), an open neutral lead (13) or an open ground lead (15) produces a current flow through the supplemental secondary winding (71) that induces a trip signal in the secondary winding (37) to initiate opening of the power line (11). In a second embodiment (Figure 3, not shown) the supplemental secondary winding (71) induces a trip signal in the transformer only for an open ground lead (15), while tripping for an open neutral (13) is achieved by directly gating an SCR switch (55). The circuit arrangements also protect against other conditions, such as a potential in excess of a predetermined voltage between the neutral (13) and ground (15) leads or a reversal of the input connections. <IMAGE>
