Inventor: BRANSTON DAVID WALTER DR
IPC: H01J17/04
Filed: 1991-04-25
Abstract: The gas-discharge switch contains at least two main electrodes for a low-pressure gas discharge. The distance d between the main electrodes and the pressure p of an operating gas are selected such that the ignition voltage reduces as the product pxd increases. According to the invention, the discharge path (8) is allocated a hollow electrode (10) which is connected to a trigger voltage source (17). The main electrode facing the hollow electrode (10) is provided with a central opening (4). A baffle plate (20) for the ion current of the low-pressure gas discharge is provided between said opening (4) and the hollow electrode (10) at a predetermined distance from the surface of the main electrode.

Abstract: A chemical solder is described that includes an organometallic which thermally degrades within a predetermined temperature range to a metal and volatile compounds. The solder also includes a polymeric matrix that decomposes within the same temperature range to volatile fractions, thereby leaving only the metal. 
     A method for bonding first and second bodies is disclosed wherein a chemical solder, as above-described, is disposed between the first and second bodies and heat is applied to elevate the solder to the predetermined temperature range to thermally degrade the organometallic compound and to decompose the polymeric matrix. The remaining metal bonds the first and second bodies.

Abstract: The method relates to controlling an electric motor (10) for machine tools. The motor current (T) of the electric motor (10) is calculated by means of a digital control section (11), for which purpose it receives actual values and, from a digital control section (12), set point values which are used as a basis in set point/actual value comparisons taking place in the control section (11) and in which actual position values of the motor (10) are taken into consideration. To achieve a structurally simple construction and very flexible operation of the control device, the method is carried out in such a manner that the digital control section (11) and the digital control section (12) for data transfers relating to the transmission of actual and set point values are linked in the software, that the digital control section (11) receives freely presettable correction factors (e.g. kv, ks) transmitted from the digital control section (12), and that the digital control section (11) multiplies these correction factors (kv, ks) by variables (e.g. S(y)) depending on set point/actual value differences and influences the motor current (T) with at least one product of these multiplications. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the writing part of a read/write device (16) allocated to the textile machine (1, 2), the binary coded data on origin, destination, nature of the product and the like of a textile product (3, 4) are used for modulating a carrier frequency which is transmitted by wire-less means to a chip (17) which is located, for example, on the transport means (6, 7) of the textile product (3, 4). In this chip, the carrier-frequency signals are filtered out and are used for supplying a data memory constructed as random-access memory, contained in the chip (17) and the electronic circuit components connected to the data memory with current and possibly for clock control. The data are decoded and stored as binary data in the data memory. A controllable switching logic connected to the data memory is provided which, when the data are read out of the data memory, detunes a resonant receiver circuit of the chip (17) in accordance with the binary coding so that the detuning of the resonant receiver circuit, corresponding to the binary code, causes a loading amplitude modulation in a connected oscillating transmit circuit of the read/write device (16), which modulation is detected and decoded in the read part of the read/write device (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Fire-fighting devices can be operated with liquid nitrogen as extinguisher. Nitrogen has proven less suitable for extinguishing open fires, however, since it has an unsatisfactory heat sink behaviour because of its comparatively low molecular weight. Other low-boiling liquefied gases, in particular argon, which are more suitable in this respect, appear to be too expensive, since account has to be taken of considerable evaporation losses because of the flow of heat into the reservoir, which is not to be prevented. To avoid these disadvantages, a cryocondenser (5), which is connected to an external cold producer (6), is located in the head space (4) of the reservoir (1). …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A known irrigation emitter unit provided at the end of an irrigation pipe comprises an inner member located and retained inside an outer member by way of a plastic molded annular flange and recess. This is unsatisfactory in that the inner member can be expelled from the outer member given a relatively high water pressure and in that the inner member is recessed with respect to the outer edges of the outer member wherein water can accumulate. 
     The present invention is directed to an irrigation emitter unit comprising an outer member (11) in which is located an inner member (25) by way of molded terminal portions (20) of the outer member (11). Both the inner and outer members form a flush unit. Furthermore, as the terminal portions (20) are molded to the inner members (25), the irrigation emitter unit can withstand a greater water pressure than known previously. 
     The present invention also extends to a process of manufacturing such a fluid flow control unit.
