Abstract: A thermal disposal unit of the type which comprises a combustion chamber (11) which communicates with a plurality of thermal buffers (13, 14) each selectively connectable, at an opposite side thereof with respect to the combustion chamber (11), to a forced-flow duct (17) for conveying gases to be purified and to a gas emission duct (23) for conveying purified gases. Each thermal buffer (13, 14) is constituted by an accumulation mass (13a, 13b, 14a, 14b) for exchanging heat with the conveyed gases. Furthermore, the emission conduit (23) communicates with a flue divided into two chambers (27a, 27b) which are open to the atmosphere. One of the chambers (27b), which acts as a plenum chamber, is in constant communication with an aspiration zone of the duct (17) for conveying gases to be purified.

Inventor: REED WILMER H III
IPC: G05D19/02
Filed: 1993-12-07
Abstract: Higher harmonic control (hereinafter HHC) of helicopter rotor blade vibrations is provided by an actively controlled, rotatable, slotted cylinder (11) which is mounted at an outboard section of each blade (12). Continuous rotation of each cylinder (11) about its longitudinal axis produces a periodic aerodynamic force on the blade (12) at a frequency of twice the rotational frequency of the cylinder. The amplitude of force is controlled by the size of a slot opening (110,111,112,133) in the cylinder while the rotational speed of the cylinder is synchronized to run at a multiple of the speed of a rotor blade drive shaft. The amplitude and phase of the HHC force is regulated, either manually or by active feedback control, to minimize any vibratory load transmitted to the airframe through the rotor blade drive shaft. A significant advantage offered by this concept, relative to other HHC methods, is its low power requirement.

Abstract: A device (1) for stacking and destacking a stream of imbricated, substantially planar, flexible units (18) to form or destack a layered stack (25). The device is a stacker, adapted to receive a stream of units from a source thereof, and a plurality of transfer sheets (15). The feeder delivers the stream of units to the stacker. 
     The stacker has staging belts (14) which receive portions of the stream and deposit the units (18) serially on one of the transfer sheets (15), as it is withdrawn from the sheet stack (16). This forms an imbricated layer of the units and the transfer sheet (15). The stacker deposits the imbricated layer on a removable support and repeats the cycle to deposit successive imbricated layers on the preceding layers. Destacking is carried out by simply reversing the process.

Abstract: The drill unit consists of a tubular head (1) and a connector (2). The tubular head (1) has an internal thread (4) for connecting to an external thread (5) of the connector (2). The internal and external threads (4, 5) have flat flank areas. In addition, the inside and outside diameters of the internal thread (4) of the tubular head (1) exceed the inside and outside diameters of the external thread (5) of the connector (2). Thus S-shaped pockets form between the threads (4, 5). The S-shaped pockets serve to receive the contamination caused by the drillings so that the easy running of the thread (4, 5) is retained and the parts of the drilling unit can be released from one another without special tooling. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital audio interface protocol carries multiple channels of digital audio information serially between a transmitting digital audio tape recorder and a plurality of receiving recording units. Using a three stage process, the circuitry of the present invention allows the receiving VCO's to "lock on" to the sampling rate of the serial digital data stream without any explicit sampling information. In a first stage, the VCO frequency is adjusted until a sync pattern is properly received. In a second stage, the VCO frequency is adjusted to oscillate a preselected number of times between sync pattern occurrences. In a third stage, the VCO phase is adjusted to match the phase of the serial data stream.

Abstract: The invention describes a method and a device for controlling an automatic plate exchange process in a sheet-fed offset printing machine, in which a used printing plate is removed from the gripping region of a clamping rail assigned to the leading edge of the plate cylinder and a new printing plate is then introduced into the opened gripping region, fixing of the in-register position of the newly introduced printing plate taking place before the gripping region is closed (clamped). This method is to be designed in such a way as to result in increased safety and reliability in the course of the plate exchange process. Before it is established whether the newly introduced printing plate lies in register in the gripping region of the clamping rail, it is checked whether the used printing plate has been removed from the gripping region, for which it is established whether the used printing plate is not in an in-register position with its leading edge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An alkyl (meth)acrylate is prepared by a direct esterification (in 1) of (meth)acrylic acid by the corresponding alcohol, catalysed by H2SO4. The crude reaction mixture (B1), comprising the targeted ester, alcohol, (meth)acrylic acid, alkyl acid sulphate (alkyl hydrogen sulphate) and traces of H2SO4, is treated (in 3) with a base in order to neutralise the acid species, the resulting salts passing into the aqueous phase (A1), which is separated from the organic phase (O1) containing the targeted ester. The light products (L1), containing the alcohol, are recovered (in 4) from the aqueous phase and the waste water (E2) is discarded. The alkyl acid sulphate present in the aqueous phase (A1) resulting from the separation carried out after the neutralisation (in 3) is hydrolysed (in 8) to form, in this phase, alcohol and H2SO4, the acid species resulting from the hydrolysis are neutralised by introduction into the medium of a base and the resulting aqueous phase (A3) is sent to the alcohol recovery stage. Pollution of the waste water (E2), attributable to the alkyl acid sulphate, is thus avoided. <IMAGE>
