Abstract: The multiple level converter comprises a voltage source (SE) and a current source (C). A series of controlled commutator cells are interconnected with a series of capacitors (C1, C2, ...Cn), with a separate capacitor for each of its cells. There is also a control device consisting of an evaluation circuit (VMO1, 2, ...n) determining the average voltage on the terminals of each of the capacitors. A further circuit (VE1, 2, ...n) determines, for each of the capacitors, the eventual difference between the evaluated average voltage on the capacitor and the nominal charged voltage of the capacitor. A complementary circuit (MCC1, 2, ...n) then modifies the position in time of the control signal for the converter, in the appropriate direction, to reduce this difference between evaluated and nominal voltage values.

Abstract: The present invention provides an innovative method and apparatus for determining continuous, visual clamp load status during tightening and throughout the life of a fastener. The present invention provides a nondeformable element (or in some cases elements) that is suitably configured and positioned within a fastener to amplify the deformation of the fastener as a load is applied to the fastener. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a lever is connected at an internal pivot point of a cartridge. One end of the lever rests upon an abutment within the fastener, while the other end serves as an indicator. As the fastener is tightened, the fastener will elongate causing the abutment to move away form the lever end. As the abutment moves, the lever rotates causing the indicator end to move relative to the visual scale which is calibrated to indicate clamping force. If the fastener loses tension, the fastener will contract, thereby forcing the lever to rotate toward its original position. Assembly and calibration of the device requires the simple, inexpensive process of rotating a cartridge.

Abstract: A method of treating household refuse wherein selection, communication, etc., the fraction of the total refuse containing biodegradable organic dry matter is delivered to an anaerobic fermentation process. Anaerobic fermentation is carried out until all the dry matter is exhausted, degradation rates of the biodegradable organic dry matter (OTSbiol) of 70% and more being attained. The resultant fermentation residue is subjected to a drying process in which the dry matter portion is increased to at least 90%. The resultant dry material no longer exhibits any biological activity. The exhaustive anaerobic fermentation process enables a maximum amount of biogas to be produced, its energy content being sufficient to supply the drying process. A further aspect of the reduction of the problematic refuse portion is the separation out of a fine-grained fraction (particle size >15 to 14 mm) which is purified wherein adherent material, particularly organic dry matter is removed, by counterflow washing in a washing unit so that inert material having an organic dry matter portion of at most 5% is produced. Washing may be carried out using process condensate such that a closed water circuit results.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sprinkler or a spray head comprising a housing (2), an inlet (3), a nozzle (4) mounted in the housing, a passage (17-18-13) from the inlet to the nozzle, and a holder (8) for a release means, the holder being mounted in front of the nozzle so that it prevents the nozzle from spraying extinguishing medium forward without hindrance, the nozzle being arranged to spray extinguishing medium once the release means has been released. The holder (8) is mounted in the housing (2) by means of a locking mechanism, which is arranged to open and release the holder (8) from the housing once the release means (7) has been released. To allow efficient and forceful spraying of the extinguishing medium without that the holder stands in the way, reducing the momentum and penetration force of the jet, and to safeguard the operation, the spinkler or spray head comprises a spindle (9) which is arranged to move in the housing (2) from a first position, in which the spindle is arranged to close the passage (17-18-13) to keep the nozzle (4) closed, to a second position, in which the spindle is arranged to open the passage to keep the nozzle open, when the release means is being released, the spindle being arranged to exert a force on the locking mechanism and to open the locking mechanism when the spindle is moved toward the holder (8) into the second position, whereby the nozzle (4) can forcefully spray the extinguishing medium forward essentially without hindrance.

Abstract: A machine that has an assembly formed from a frame on which is rotatably mounted on a drum with parallel winding cores. This assembly is mounted so as to move translationally in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the axes of the drum and of the cores, while the sheet product feeding mechanism is fixed. The translational displacement of the movable assembly allows its gradual advance as the diameter of a reel being formed grows and also makes it possible to leave, between this assembly and the sheet product feeding mechanism, a gap available for an operator, for the purpose of introducing the leading edge of the sheet product onto one of the cores.
