Patent EP-0327372-A1 (EP)
Title: Piezoelectric vibration generator and vibratory parts feeder incorporating the same
Inventor: MASUDA TAKESHI
IPC: B06B1/06
Filed: 1989-02-02
Abstract: A piezoelectric vibration generator (3) interconnecing a base (1) and a vibratory conveyor table (2) of a piezoelectrically driven vibratory parts feeder includes a pair of resilient plate members (5, 10) joined together at their lower ends and disposed in a configuration substantially folded about the joint therebetween. The vibration generator of the folded configuration has a relatively small length and hence is capable of reducing the overall height of the vibratory parts feeder. A further advantage attained by the folded vibration generator (3) is that the amplitude of vibrations is not limited depending upon the distance between the base (1) and the vibratory conveyor table (2).

Title: Automatic machine for rinsing and sterilizing bottles
Inventor: KUHLMANN WILLY
IPC: B08B9/44
Filed: 1989-12-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic machine for rinsing and sterilising bottles, characterised in that it essentially consists of receptacles (1) for receiving the bottles (2), the receptacles being arranged as planet wheels (10) in a wheel (3) whose axis (4) is horizontal, of a device (5) for introducing the bottles (2) into the receptacles (1), supplied by a belt (6) for conveying the bottles, of a device (8) for receiving the washed bottles and removing the latter by means of an output belt (7) and, optionally, of a protective casing (9) surrounding the wheel (3) with its planet wheels (10) over that portion of distance extending from the device (5) for introducing the bottles to the device (8) for receiving the washed bottles. The articulation of the receptacles (1) is effected such that when the latter are equipped with bottles (2) they naturally orient themselves vertically with the neck pointing downwards. Moreover, each planet wheel (10) is provided with a rubber-coated wheel or with a pinion (23) intended to interact with a cam or a rack (24) enabling the planet wheel to pivot so as to bring the receptacles (1) into positions compatible with the loading and unloading of the bottles (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method of transmitting data information in a mobile, cellular, radio communi­cation system operating according to the TDMA principle. Within certain large cells (C2) in the system the number of cells in progress is less than the number of slots (CH1, CH2...) in each frame, where these slots have been allotted to the mobiles (M1) within the cell. The unoccupied slots thus occuring are utilised in accordance with the method such that the bit frequency (f) of the data information is reduced to a new value (f r ) in response to the number of unoccupied time slots. The transmission range between mobile and base station is thus increased.

Abstract: This invention relates to a bed mat. A mat main body comprises a core material (3) made of a rigid foamed material having a sufficient thickness, protective sheet members (4), (5) placed on the front and reverse surfaces of the core material while sandwiching the core material (3) between them and surface layer materials (6), (7) made of a cushion material and put on the protective sheet material (4), (5). At least one of the surface layer materials (6), (7) is formed by superposing a second cushion layer (11) made of a semi-rigid cushion material having a corrugated surface (13) on its surface on a first cushion layer (10) made of a soft cushion material. A conventional bed mat has a structure incorporating a plurality of coil springs fixed to a metal frame, and is not free from problems that the total weight is heavy and the mat is difficult to handle. In accordance with the present invention, the rigid foamed material is used as the core material (3) without using the metal member. Therefore, the mat of the present invention is light in weight and is free from problems such as rust and breakage. Moreover, since the corrugated surface (13) of the second cushion layer (11) in the surface layer material supports the body in a point contact state, air permeability is high and finger-pressure action is provided to promote health.

Abstract: Capteur électrochimique de mesure pour déterminer le rapport air-carburant dans les gaz d'échappement de moteurs à combustion interne, aussi bien pour les mélanges pauvres en carburant que pour les mélanges riches, comprenant un élément capteur équipé d'une cellule électrochimique de concentration d'oxygène et d'une cellule de pompage d'oxygène à électrolyte solide, cet élément capteur étant disposé dans un boîtier pouvant être inséré dans le tuyau d'échappement de telle manière que les électrodes de la cellule électrochimique de concentration d'oxygène et de la cellule de pompage d'oxygène de l'élément capteur du capteur de mesure se trouvent à l'extérieur du tuyau d'échappement et que la communication avec l'atmosphère s'effectue par des orifices du boîtier et la communication avec les gaz d'échappement par une fente de diffusion. L'élément capteur se caractérise par une construction particulièrement simple, de l'oxygène libre étant disponible pour la cellule de pompage d'oxygène avec des valeurs de lambda correspondant aussi bien à un mélange maigre qu'à un mélange gras. Les électrodes de la cellule de pompage d'oxygène peuvent avoir de grandes dimensions, en sorte que les densités de courant nécessaires sont relativement faibles. On évite un important refroidissement de l'élément capteur par du gaz d'échappement froid (gaz de mesure) au niveau des électrodes.

Abstract: A steam generator upper support arrangement provi­des restraint to the steam generator during operating and non-operating conditions, for loading forces resulting from seismic and postulated accident conditions, while allowing for free thermal expansion of the steam generator in the ra­dial, lateral, and vertical directions. Four embodiments of the present invention are described, all of which maintain a nominal gap between the steam generator and the containment building structure to provide adequate restraint. In one em­bodiment, inclined bumpers (63) are placed at predetermined angles (69) with respect to the load path (47), such that as the steam generator is thermally displaced and incline angles of the bumpers will compensate for the expansion and maintain a nominal gap (61) therebetween.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engine brake for air compressing internal combustion engines. To improve the braking power of the internal combustion engine, the invention proposes to combine a universally known engine brake using throttling of an engine exhaust by means of a throttle valve with a likewise known engine brake in which an exhaust valve (1) can be raised not only by the cam mechanism (2) but can also be raised slightly by a piston (3) during the exhaust stroke. By virtue of the combination according to the invention, braking work is performed not only during the exhaust stroke but also during the compression stroke, with the result that the braking power can be increased by about 50 to 60% and by 80 to 90% compared to the nowadays customary exhaust brakes and enters the range of the useful power output.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method and uses a thin, yet strong plastic film (1) as the intermediate layer for the waterproofing material and the film has a plurality of perforations (2) therein. The film is highly resistant to crack propagation, and acts as a barrier to crack propagation between adjacent asphalt layers (5, 6), thus providing superior protection from the elements. The asphalt layers are interconnected with each other through the perforations in the polyester support layer. Because of the strength of the polyester film, only a very thin layer of polyester is necessary and this results in a substantial cost savings. As an alternative to coating, it is possible to extrude or laminate the asphalt onto the PET film. Also a layer of asphalt may be applied only to one side of said film and extruded through the perforations with heads on the columns (8) so formed to attach the asphalt to the film.
