Inventor: ERLENBACH HANS
IPC: B29B17/00
Filed: 1993-09-23
Abstract: A process for conditioning reusable plastic material is described. To increase the bulk density of reusable plastic particles and to treat the surface of the plastic particles, the latter are subjected to a mechanical-thermal rounding treatment under the effect of a temperature increase due to friction. In the process, the plastic particles contact surfaces having a temperature which is below their melting point. The device has a cylindrical, closed conditioning vessel (2) which is provided with a temperature-control device (17) and has a feed opening (28) and a discharge opening (24) and has in its interior fixed and moving parts, the moving parts being designed and arranged such that the plastic material, on its way to the discharge opening, repeatedly contacts at least the fixed parts and the cylindrical conditioning vessel wall (3). The fixed and the moving parts may be bolts (6, 7, 8), the moving bolts being arranged on a rotating disc (5). Downstream of the discharge opening there is arranged a density measurement device (22) which is connected to an open-loop and closed-loop control device (15). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pneumatic servo comprises a motor (10) having a shaft for rotation in response to an electrical signal. A cam (14) is connected to the shaft for rotation therewith. The cam (14) has an outer profiled periphery and opposite sides. A pneumatic nozzle (16) having an opening for directing a flow of gas towards one side of the cam (14) near the periphery, obscures the flow by different amounts as the cam (14) rotates to create a back pressure in the nozzle (16) thereby providing a pneumatic signal. A curved projection (30) engages an opposite side of the cam (14), the projection being aligned with the nozzle (16) opening and reducing oscillation excursions of the servo at gas pressures in the nozzle (16) above 12 psig (83 kPa-gage).

Abstract: An inner diameter pressurised mechanical end face seal (10) includes at least one seal module (24) with adjacent relatively rotating rings (38, 42) each having a radially extending face (40, 44) confronting the face of the other ring (42, 38). At least one of the rings (38, 42), preferably the rotating ring (42), has plural spiral grooves adjacent to or extending from the inner diameter of the ring (42) whereby the fluid pressure from the inner diameter together with the centrifugal force of the rotating ring (42) expel any fluid leaking from the seal (10) outwardly from the sealed chamber (26) with sufficient force to inhibit contaminants from outboard the seal ring interface area from entering the seal (10). The structure and material comprising one or both of the rings (38, 42) provides structural integrity to each ring (38, 42), thereby permitting the inner diameter pressurised seal rings (38, 42) to withstand fluid pressures up to at least as high as 8.274 x 10⁶ Pa (1200 psi). Preferably, the ring material is a composite plastic material, such as polyamide-imide.

Abstract: Crosstalk is reduced in any type of active matrix electro-optical display system (10) by applying a compensating signal, the value of which is dependent upon multiple data drive signals. In a preferred embodiment, a single compensating signal, equal to the inverse weighted average of all of the data drive signals applied during a row address period, can be applied to all data electrodes (20) after the data drive signals are stored in display elements (16). Such a compensating signal simultaneously reduces side-to-side crosstalk and front-to-back crosstalk to levels previously achievable for only one type of crosstalk at a time.
