Patent EP-0728565-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SFERRAZZA RANDALL A
IPC: B03B9/06
Filed: 1996-02-20
Abstract: Process and system for reclaiming polymeric fibers (e.g., nylon) from post-consumer carpeting includes shredding the post-consumer carpeting into strips, dismantling the carpet strips to form a mixture of the fibers to be reclaimed and the backing material to be discarded, and then separating a substantial portion of the fibers from the backing material. Preferably, the carpet strips are dismantled by impacting the strips of carpeting against an apertured anvil plate with hammer elements using, e.g., a hammermill. A secondary reclamation system is provided whereby the separated backing material which may contain some fibers bound thereto is subjected to secondary dismantling and separation operations. The fractions obtained from the primary and secondary separation operations containing predominantly the polymeric fibers may thus be combined so as to form a process discharge stream which can be pelletized and/or baled as desired.

Abstract: The microcontroller (1) responds to signals from sensing elements (6) comprising e.g. a light-emitting diode (LED) (8) and a photodiode (9) for detection of the reflection from a finger (11) at a point of contact (10). Each LED in turn is addressed by a pulse modulator (12) under the control of a keyboard (3). The outputs from the sensors are multiplexed (14) to a multistage analogue amplifier (15) followed by a demodulator (16) and digitiser (17). Two balancing factors for each sensor are held in memory (19), one for raising the analogue output to a near-standard value, and the other for software multiplication of the binary signal to the same standard value for all sensors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vessel comprising at least one anchor line (15). Disconnect
means are attached to the anchor line for releasing the vessel from the sea bed. A first
part of the disconnect means (16) is directly attached to the vessel and a second part is
attached to the anchor line (17). Upon detaching the anchor lines from the vessel, no
cables will protrude from underneath the vessel after disconnecting. Thereby the risk of
interference of the anchor lines with the vessel itself, with other vessels or with obejcts on
the seabed in shallow waters is avoided. Furthermore can the disconnect means
according to the invention be directly controlled from the vessel. Also can inspection and
maintenance be easily performed. 
     Preferably the vessel comprises two or more anchor lines, each anchor line having a
disconnect means which can be independently operated. Thereby a staged release of the
anchor lines is possible which may be adapted to weather conditions or approaching
objects such as icebergs.

Abstract: A patterning device for warp knitting machines, in which a stator for a linear pulse motor is assembled on a holding member and a plurality of movers are provided on the same holding member at proper intervals with a part of the movers serving as guide points, and in which the linear pulse motor is made thin, and an erroneous operation such as loss of synchronism is prevented in position control to afford stable positioning in the event of power outage and external noises. Thus poles of the movers (4) are disposed to face poles on both sides of the stator (18) assembled in the holding member (3). Mover driving coils (17) on the poles of the movers are combined with NS direction of two field magnets (15a, 15b) facing the poles of the stator (18) and tooth profiles of the poles of the stator so that magnetic paths of the field magnets are oriented in the same direction. Also, in a control method, positioning accuracy reliability of the movers is enhanced and an erroneous operations such as loss of synchronism are eliminated by providing position sensors in association with the both poles and controlling an exciting condition by means of parameters. Further, ranges, in which the movers act, are enlarged by dispensing with signal cables for connection to the movers. Microcomputers are loaded on the movers to decrease an amount of information over induction lines.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and adjustment of control unit parameter settings of vehicle electronic control units. The monitoring system may be implemented in a vehicle in which are incorporated one or more electronic control units for regulating one more operational parameters of the vehicle in accordance with corresponding control unit parameter settings. In an exemplary implementation the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communications terminal (MCT), which receives from a base station a list of operational parameters to be monitored. Each of the electronic control units, as well as a memory unit, are connected to an internal data link of the vehicle. When a parameter value within the memory unit corresponding to a given control unit is changed, a message is provided to the base station specifying the value currently registered by the control unit. The currently registered value is then compared to an expected parameter value, and an error message is generated if disagreement exists therebetween. The system also allows vehicle control unit parameter settings to be adjusted from a remote location such as a base station. The MCT of each vehicle is disposed to generate message packets containing updated control unit parameter information received from the base station. The message packets are then sent to a selected electronic control unit over the data link, thereby allowing the updated control unit parameter information to be loaded therein.

Abstract: The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage of hard roll covers, are reduced by the inclusion of one or more intermediate compressive layers between the metal roll and the outer cover, or "topstock". A compressive layer has the properties of being rigid enough to allow the cover to be applied to the roll, and compressible enough to buffer and absorb the stresses which occur as the cover is shrinking during processing. In one embodiment, the intermediate compressive layer comprises a three dimensional fabric that is filled preferably with a thermoset resin system which cures at lower temperature than cover. In a second embodiment, the precise amount of shrinkage in the roll can be predetermined to a high enough degree of accuracy so that a depth for the fabric layer can be used to compensate for the amount of shrinkage, thereby eliminating the need for filling. In a third embodiment, the compressive layer is comprised of a wax material. The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage are further reduced through a method based on applying a polymeric cover layer over one or more intermediate compressive layers, curing at an elevated temperature, and, allowing the cover to shrink during curing or hardening.

Abstract: In this piston, oil grooves 5 are provided in the selected parts of a surface of a skirt portion 3 which are liable to encounter the breakage of an oil film, and which are on the thrust side and anti-thrust side, and not in the parts of the surface of the skirt portion to which a load is imparted. The oil grooves 5 are formed in the positions higher than a piston pin 22 and lower than piston ring grooves 12, and cooling cavity 45 and oil grooves 5 communicate with each other by oil passages 47, the cooling cavity 45 and a lower open end 48 of a piston body 1 communicating with each other by an oil passage 46. Accordingly, even when the piston is inclined toward the anti-thrust direction, an oil is supplied to the clearances between outer members 7 and skirt portion 3, and the breakage of an oil film does not occur. Even when the piston body is inclined toward the thrust side and going to collide with the outer members 7, a satisfactory oil film is formed securely in the portion of the clearance which is around the colliding portion of the piston body, and the oil in the clearance is forced out. Thus, the colliding force of the piston against a cylinder liner is lessened by the oil, so that the slapping sounds of the piston can be greatly reduced.
