Title: Device for the mixing and measured delivery of animal fodder or similar
IPC: B01F15/02
Filed: 1991-02-19
Abstract: A device for the mixing and metered unloading of cattle fodder or the like has a mixing chamber with a bottom, two side walls located opposite one another and an end wall extending transversely relative to the side walls, as well as at least one drivable mixing element which is mounted in the mixing chamber and extends approximately parallel to the side walls and which, during operation, covers, in the mixing chamber, a virtually closed path extending partially between and partially parallel to the side walls. A discharge orifice capable of being shut off by a shut-off member and intended for the unloading of cattle fodder is provided in at least one side wall, the path of movement of the (each) mixing element being adjacent to the bottom and the side walls and running along the discharge orifice in the (each) side wall, and, with the discharge orifice opened, the (each) mixing element, functioning as an unloading element, discharging the cattle fodder out of the discharge orifice. The mixing chamber possesses, opposite the end wall, an open introduction side for introducing the cattle fodder or the like, the (each) mixing element being adjustable along the circumference of a mixing space arranged in the mixing chamber and intended for the cattle fodder to be mixed. The mixing space is accessible via the open mixing-chamber introduction side arranged opposite the end wall, there being arranged on the open introduction side of the mixing chamber a cutting plate which is movable up and down and which has on its underside a cutting member for releasing the cattle fodder from a stock. The released cattle fodder can be introduced into the mixing space as a result of the adjustment of the cutting plate in the direction of the end wall, and the cutting plate is connected to at least one pivotably mounted pivoting arm, supported in the region of the end wall, for moving the cutting plate up and down. Furthermore, the pivoting arm is designed so as to be telescopically retractable and extensible for the purpose of adjusting the cutting plate. <IMAGE>

Title: Fiber optic guide wire.
Inventor: KASPRZYK DANIEL J
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 1993-08-13
Abstract: A guide wire (20) for a catheter has a solid tubular portion with a flexible body fixed to its distal end (22). The distal end (22) of the body may be composed of a material more radiopaque than its proximal portion. Optical fibers (24) are disposed within the assembly and terminate in a radiopaque tip at the distal end (22) of the body. The guide wire (20) may have a longitudinal marker wire (32) for providing stiffness and radioscopic tracking characteristics. The guide wire (20) has a proximal end attached to the tube and a distal end (22) that also terminates in the tip. The invention may be maneuvered and positioned in a vascular area like a conventional guide wire. Then, laser energy from a laser light source at a proximal end of the guide wire is conveyed to the vascular area by the optical fibers (24) to ablate an obstruction. A larger catheter may then be slid over the guide wire to continue the ablation operation. Employing polyester tubing for the distal body, the guide wire may be used in peripheral angioplasty applications. Alternatively, the distal body may be implemented with a metal coil and may be used in coronary angioplasty.

Title: Valve mechanism for venting diecasting moulds.
Inventor: WYSER JOHANN
IPC: A41C3/12
Filed: 1994-01-11
Abstract: A valve assembly for venting diecasting moulds comprises a venting channel, a venting valve communicating with the venting channel and having an axially displaceable valve closure member, and an actuating member for operating the venting valve from an open position into a closed position. The actuating member includes a power pick up member exposed to the liquid casting material escaping during the casting operation from a casting chamber provided in the diecasting mould through the venting channel and being axially displaceable under the influence of the kinetic energy transmitted from the liquid casting material to the power pick up member when the liquid casting material hits the power pick up member. The power pick up member is mechanically coupled to the axially displaceable valve closure member and includes an axially displaceable push member having an operating stroke whose length is limited to only a fraction of the length of the stroke performed by the axially displaceable valve closure member when it is driven from its open position to its closed position. The axially displaceable valve closure member freely moves along a path in addition to the operating stroke of the power pick up member. The actuating member further comprises a power transmission member for the transmission of the impact force exerted by the liquid casting material onto the power pick up member to the axially displaceable valve closure member of the venting valve.

Abstract: A copying machine capable of copying a large-size document original
on a transfer sheet, in which the transfer sheet is prevented
from being biasedly transported. A bypass transportation
path D4 is provided for transporting a cut-sheet to
a photoreceptor drum 20. The transportation path D4 is provided
with a resist roller 39 and a transportation roller 33.
A cut-sheet inserted from a manual sheet feeding section 30
is stopped with the leading edge thereof being abutted against
the resist roller 39, so that the leading edge of the cut-sheet
is aligned with a line perpendicular to a transportation
direction. Thereafter, the cut-sheet is transported by the
resist roller 39 and the transportation roller 33. At this
time, the circumferential speed of the resist roller 39 is set
lower by a predetermined degree than that of the transportation
roller 33. Thus, a predetermined tensile force is constantly
applied to the cut-sheet transported from the resist
roller 39 to the transportation roller 33, thereby preventing
the cut-sheet from being biasedly transported.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting an abnormality of an air flow meter
(43) is disclosed. The flow meter (43) is disposed in an air
intake passage (20) of an engine (10) to detect an actual flow
rate of air flowing through the air intake passage (20). The
air intake passage (20) has a throttle valve (22) with a
variable opening size (TA) to control the actual rate of the
air flowing in the air intake passage (20). The throttle valve
(22) adjusts the actual flow rate of the air according to an
engine speed (NE) when the opening size (TA) is in a first
range, and regardless of the engine speed (NE) when the opening
size (TA) is in a second range. A throttle sensor (44) detects
the opening size (TA) of the throttle valve (22). An ECU (50)
computes a target rate of the air flowing in the air intake
passage (20) based on the detected opening size (TA) of the
throttle valve (22), and a marginal range for allowing a
deviation of the actual rate of the air flow from the target
rate. The ECU (50) determines the abnormality of the air flow
meter (43) when the opening size (TA) of the throttle valve
(22) is in the second range and the actual rate of the air is
out of the marginal range.
