Abstract: A Flail System (12) for a terrain clearance vehicle (10) is disclosed which comprises two flail axles (14) which extend laterally in front of the vehicle (10). Each flail axle (14) carries a axially-distributed array of flail chains (20) and has two sets of mounting arms (16, 18) on which the axles (14) are rotatably mounted. The mounting arms (16, (8) also incorporate means (28) to maintain each flail axle (14) at a controllable height above the terrain. The mounting means (16, 18, 22, 24) are arranged such that the flail axles (14) can be held either substantially parallel to the terrain in a terrain clearing configuration. They may also be folded upwardly into an inactive configuration so that the overall width of the vehicle (10) and flail system (12) is substantially less than the overall width of the flail system (12) when in the terrain clearing configuration.

Abstract: For use with an extracorporeal blood therapy instrument, method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the flow rate of blood passing between the patient and the therapy instrument. The flow measurement apparatus (108) includes a delivery unit (109) for producing a saline bolus interface at a first position (156) of a measurement channel (101) having a predetermined volume between the first (156) and second position (124). A sensor unit (110) included in the apparatus detects the saline bolus interface as it passes the second position (124) in the channel. An output signal from the sensor unit (110) along with an indication of the production of the saline bolus interface is utilized by a control unit (111) to determine the blood flow rate. The control unit of the apparatus utilizes instantaneous and average blood flow algorithms to calculate instantaneous and average blood flow rates based on the time interval associated with the production of the saline bolus interface and its progression to a predetermined position in the measurement channel. Successive interfaces are also produced in the blood flow to derive an average blood flow rate.

Abstract: An induction motor of the invention including a single rotor (7) formed in one-piece and a first and second sta­tors (12,13) disposed side by side has a phase changing device (20) for varying the phase difference between the rotational magnetic field generated by the first stator and that generated by the second stator. The phase changing device (20) comprises a first-connection changing switch (S₁) for making the interconnection of respective stator windings of the stators the first series delta-connection in which the phase difference is 0° when it is in its closed-state and a second-connection changing switch (S₂) for making the respective stator windings the second series delta-connection in which the phase difference is 120° when it is in its closed-state. When both the first- and second-connection changing switches are closed, the inter­connection of the stator windings becomes a parallel star-­connection in which the phase difference produced is 60°. During the motor operation, at least one of the first-­switch and the second-switch is always kept in its closed-­state. The motor exhibits three different torque curves suitable for starting operation, an intermediate speed operation and normal or steady-state operation by the switching operation of the first- and second-switches.

Title: Zero clearance coupler for connecting a driving member to a splined hub.
Inventor: FAVROU JOHN MILTON
IPC: F16D1/06
Filed: 1990-06-29
Abstract: Rather than engage the grooves of a cartridge's splined hub by means of fingers attached to a reel motor shaft, the present invention uses a mechanical coupler mounted on the motor shaft which contacts the spline lands at two places and locks the mechanical coupler position by insertion of a spring loaded tongue into one of the grooves of the spline. This groove is angularly located midway between the lands which contact the mechanical coupler, effecting a "three point" engagement of the mechanical coupler with the hub. The land contacting surfaces and the tongue are chamfered to facilitate engaging the hub for slight off-axial misalignment of the hub and mechanical coupler. The spring loaded tongue forces the spline contacting surfaces of the mechanical coupler into a "zero clearance" fit with the contacted lands of the spline, providing an intimate and backlash free connection between the hub and driving motor.
