IPC: H02H7/22
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: A motor operator for an overhead power switch is disclosed including a microcontroller, a unique and powerful array of well-integrated sensors, a motor and drive developing substantial torque and speed and coupled to a switch actuator and responsive to the microcontroller, and a sophisticated program algorithm stored in memory at the actuator site for dynamically controlling, i.e., governing the various control modes as called for by changing conditions. The sensors include an encoder associated with the motor and drive that develops position information signals fed to the dynamic microcontroller to compute real-time information including position, speed, and stopping distance used in conjunction with remote operate commands to open, close and monitor status of the switch in the various ways disclosed.  Under the supervision of the microcontroller, a motor drive power switching circuit selectively applies a source of power, such as from an on site battery, to an electric motor to drive the switch toward open or closed position at different speeds, output force levels such as at different torques, and in continuous or incremental movements depending on conditions determined by the microcontroller in response to sensor inputs.

Abstract: An arrangement for treating flora and fauna waste such as garbage under subcritical pressure and temperature. A slurry preparation unit (10) mixes the flora and fauna waste (11) with water (12) and sodium hydroxide (13) to prepare a slurry. A diaphragm pump (16) then pressurizes the slurry to subcritical pressure of water (20 MPa). Subsequently, a hydrothermal reaction tube (25) heats the pressurized slurry to cause hydrothermal reaction in a subcritical condition thereby obtaining dissolved waste. The dissolved waste is depressurized and fed to an oxidization unit (22) for oxidation.

Inventor: HOOFE WILLIAM J III
IPC: E04D1/26
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: Interlocking panels with infinitely variable relative positioning for use as siding and roofing panels. The panels are of relatively uniform thickness having raised decorative elements, such as by way of example, shake, tile, brick, stone and slate, to name a few, with a rear and side nailing flange thereon. The rear of the decorative elements include a rearward extending protrusion, with the front of the decorative elements having a continuous slot extending under the front edge of the decorative elements and effectively extending uninterrupted along the length of the panel. This allows the protrusions on the rear of the decorative elements of one course to engage the slot in the lower part of the next course in any relative position, so as to allow the breaking up of what would otherwise be a recognizable, limited pattern. The continuous slot weakens the front edge of individual panels sa that the same should not be walked on. However, by properly proportioning the projections at the rear of the panel and the slot and structure therearound, support is provided for the slot in installed panels, making it safe to walk thereon as if the slot had been formed in a discontinuous manner. Fabrication of the panel may be by various techniques, though injection molding is preferred.

Inventor: ZOSEL DIETER
IPC: F16K3/316
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a shut-off valve (17) for shutting off large-diamet er ducts. Said valve comprises a housing (1), a shut-off element (19) with a ri ng (3) and a shut-off disk (2) which are joined together, as well as two housin g seats (21) assigned to the shut-off element (19). The aim of the invention i s to improve the shut-off disk such that with reduced effort a uniform sealing  action is obtained which is independent of the peripheral position at the sh ut- off element. To this end the invention provides for the two housing seats (2 1) of the housing (1) to have no contact with the ring (3) or shut-off disk (2)  in any operating position, for the distance between the two housing seats (2 1) and the ring (3) or shut-off disk (2) to remain substantially constant and f or it to be possible for an annular gap present between the two housing seats (21) and the ring (3) or the shut-off disk (2) to be filled with an expandab le seal (5) which is arranged especially in the housing seats (21).

Inventor: BERNARD GILBERT
IPC: E01C23/18
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A road-marking device (1) is provided by means of which thick ribs (32) of water-based paint are applied to a road surface transversely to the road axis. Each rib is formed by a high-volume spray of paint from a nozzle (28) mounted on a horizontal carriage (8) mounted for reciprocal movement along a bar (6) supported by a vehicle carrying the device. Rotation of a road wheel (2) is caused to drive the carriage in both directions along the bar, while the spraying operation is controlled by the position of 'on' and 'off' switches (12) in the path of the carriage. Although only paint may be sprayed, it is preferred to inject into the paint, before it is deposited on the road, particles of a water-absorbing material to cause the paint forming the ribs to set so quickly that vehicles may contact the rumble strip without deforming the ribs soon after they have been deposited.

The second tilt string segments extend vertically from the head bar through the vertically aligned first slat apertures. A set of second supporting strings extends between the second tilt string segments, each of the second supporting string supporting a corresponding second slat. A second tilt mechanism is attached to the head bar and mechanically coupled to the second tilt string segments for selectively allowing relative vertical movement of the second tilt string segments in opposite direction relative to each other so as to pivot the second slats between open and closed configurations. A biasing loop is provided for biasing the second tilt string segments towards a predetermined second segment spaced relationship relative to each other in a biasing region located between a lowermost first slat and an uppermost second slat. The biasing loop ensures that the second tilt string segments slide freely within the vertically aligned first slat apertures.
