Title: Commutator for electric machines
IPC: H01R39/32
Filed: 1989-11-20
Granted: 1993-08-11
Abstract: The object of the invention is a commutator for electric machines, which consists of a plurality of conductive bars (1) which are insulated the one from the other, particularly by means of insulating plastics material. Each conductive bar is provided at one end thereof with a connecting hook-like member (2), and in the said hook-like member (2) an electric wire (3) for the respective winding is housed, with the free end (102) of said member (2) being so bent about the electric wire (3) and being so pressed against the surface of the conductive bar (1) that the terminal portion of the free end (102) of the connecting hook-like member (2) will bear against the surface of the conductive bar (1), and the free end (102) of the hook-like member (2) will surround the electric wire (3). A heating electric current is being at the same time fed at the connecting hook-like member (2) for eliminating the insulation of the electric wire (3) in the area for its contact with the surface of the said member (2) and/or for welding the said wire (3) to the said connecting hook-like member (2). In order to avoid that any derived leakage currents may be originated, at least one or both of the areas for the mutual contact of the conductive bar (1) and the free end (102) of the connecting-hook-like member (2) are so made that they afford electric insulation properties.

Title: Process for obtaining aroma components and aromas from their precursors of a glycosidic nature
IPC: C12P7/02
Filed: 1989-03-08
Granted: 1992-09-23
Abstract: An enzymatic hydrolysis of a glycosidic substrate containing at least one of the said precursors is performed with at least one enzyme chosen in accordance with the structure of the said precursor, to liberate the corresponding monoglycosides by cleavage at a glycoside bond, and, in a second stage, an enzymatic hydrolysis of the product of the first stage is performed with at least one enzyme other than or identical to that/those of the first stage and designed to liberate the aroma components and aromas by cleavage of the aglycone-carbohydrate linkage bond. A vegetable material derived from a fruit such as grape or an aromatic or flowering plant, as well as their derivatives and by-products, is chosen as a glycosidic substrate. Terpenols such as geraniol, linalol, nerol and the like, terpene polyols and alcohols such as phenyl ethyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol, or the like, are obtained, in particular, as aroma components or aromas.

IPC: G01R31/34

Granted: 1994-05-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring the mechanical torque on the shaft of an asynchronous machine supplied by a current or voltage rectifier with an intermediate circuit and coupled with a machine or engine or a test object, preferably an internal combustion engine. Values of the current (Id) and voltage (Ud) in the intermediate circuit of the rectifier (1, 2) are measured. The actual power (PKZ) in the intermediate circuit, averaged over a selected time-interval, is derived from these values. A modified rotary field power (P &cir&  &tilde& D) is derived by subtracting from PKZ all power losses (VWR) in the inverse rectifier (2) and the electrical and mechanical power losses (VASM) of the machine (3), with the exception of the rotor copper losses of the fundamental oscillation (VCu2,1). The modified rotary field power (P &cir&  &tilde& D) is divided by the angular frequency ( omega S) of the fundamental oscillation of the stator of the asynchronous machine (3), referred to the number of pole pairs (p), which can be derived from the electronic control and regulating system (4) of the rectifier (1, 2). This value is equated with the mechanical torque (Mm) reduced by the acceleration torque calculated from the moment of inertia (Jp) and the change in rotational speed (d omega m/dt). The advantage of this method is that the rotor copper losses of the fundamental oscillation, which are very difficult to determine because of their temperature dependence, can be neglected in the determination of the shaft torque.

Abstract: A defect correction apparatus for a solid state imaging device employs a frame buffer responsively coupled to the imaging device for storing digital values of shuttered dark pixel data from image locations of the imaging device. A register responsively coupled to the imaging device and having an output coupled to the frame buffer sequentially clocks digital values of image pixel data of the imaging device into the frame buffer. A comparator having an output operatively coupled to the register and being responsively coupled to the dark pixel data of the frame buffer produces enable and inhibit outputs. When any selected element of dark pixel data is less than a threshold, indicative of an operative pixel element in the imaging device, data stored in the register corresponding to the pixel is stored in the frame buffer in response to the enable signal. When the value of the dark pixel data in the frame buffer is greater than the threshold the comparator produces an inhibit signal. The value of image data of a previous operative pixel element is thereby entered into the register and frame buffer. <IMAGE>
