Abstract: A space heater (1) comprises a housing (2) which defines a passageway (10) extending upwardly therethrough from an air inlet (11) to an air outlet (12), and formed by a first lower riser section (28) and a second upper riser section (30). A heat exchanger (20) is located in the second riser section (30). A pair of impellers (25) having backwardly curved vanes (45) located in a lower portion (34) of the second riser section (30) communicate with the first riser section 28 through communicating openings (35), and urge air through the passageway (10) from the air inlet (11) to the air outlet (12). The first and second riser sections (28, 30) are located relative to each other so that air passing from the first riser section (28) into the second riser section (30) through the impellers (25) is initially turned through a first angle of 90 DEG  in a clockwise direction to pass horizontally through the impellers (25) and then through a further angle of 90 DEG  in an anticlockwise direction into the second riser section (30). This in combination with the provision of the impellers (25) with backwardly curved vanes (45) acts to prevent circulation of air through the passageway (10) resulting from natural convection when the impellers (25) are stationary. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for producing an automatically twisted yarn (1), wherein at least two roves (2, 3) are initially guided between at least one false twisting device (4); the roves (2,3) are periodically and alternately provided with areas consisting of S and Z shaped twists which are separated from each other by  areas devoid of twists (0), and the roves (2, 3) are subsequently combined in such a way that they become automatically twisted as a result of their own twists; the areas devoid of twists (0) are provided with a phase difference ( phi  in the automatically twisted twined yarn (1). In methods and devices known per se used to carry out such methods, the rove threads often break and the automatically twisted yarn (1) lacks resistance. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and device for producing an automatically twisted yarn (1) which is as resistant as possible. The phase difference ( phi  is thus produced by using at least one deflection roller (5) to guide at least one of the roves (2) onto a guide roller (6) once it has passed through the false twisting device (4), whereupon the roves (2, 3) are combined on the guide surface (6a) of the guide roller (6).

Abstract: A rotary vane combustion engine is provided that uses a hot wall combustion insert to provide the heat for combusting a fuel-air charge. The rotary vane combustion engine includes a rotor having a plurality of vanes, a stator enclosing the rotor to form a plurality of vane cells between the plurality of vanes, one or more intake ports for providing intake gas to the vane cells, a fuel source for mixing fuel with the intake gas to form a fuel-air charge having a fuel-to-air equivalence ratio, a hot wall combustion insert with an exposed surface provided on the stator for igniting the fuel-air charge during a combustion cycle and producing an exhaust gas, and one or more exhaust ports for removing the exhaust gas from one of the vane cells. The hot wall combustion insert provides the heat to combust the fuel-air charge, and operates on the gas over a wide area, rather than only at a point or a given line of contact. Once the hot wall combustion insert surface reaches the ignition temperature, it can use the heat from the combustion in a given vane cell to maintain its temperature for combustion in the next vane cell.

Abstract: A method of constructing a polymer support frame (10) over which woven wire cloth (158,159) is to be stretched and secured to form a sifting screen is described. The method comprises the steps of locating a reinforcing wire frame assembly in a mould tool. The wire frame comprises two parallel spaced apart arrays of reinforcing wires (48,50,54,56,60,62,64). After closing the mould, liquid polymer is injected into the mould tool so as to wholly encapsulate the wire frame and to form an article having an open central region criss-crossed by intersecting orthogonal ribs (14,16) bounded on all sides by a rigid flange. Each of the ribs (14,16) contains two of the parallel spaced apart wires of the frame assembly. After permitting the polymer to cure, the tool is opened and the article is removed. The wire frame assembly is located and held in shape and position by applying an inward force on opposite faces of the wire frame assembly within the mould tool, by fingers protruding inwardly from inside faces of the tool. The fingers engage the wire matrices when the tool closes. The polymer is typically a glass-reinforced plastics material, and in order to assist in bonding the wire cloth to the support frame (10) the faces of peripheral edge regions of the support frame (10) over which woven cloth (158,159) is laid and to which the cloth (158,159) is to be bonded by heating, are formed during moulding with a plurality of substantially parallel ridges (30,32).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire des hologrammes numériques dans un moyen mémoire. Inscrire des hologrammes générés par ordinateur à l'aide d'un lithographe optique le plus vite possible et à faible coût tout en conservant une commande précise du déclenchement dans le temps et du positionnement du faisceau traceur pose un problème technique. Pour y remédier, un faisceau traceur est concentré sur le moyen mémoire et déplacé par rapport au moyen mémoire de manière unidimensionnelle; un faisceau explorateur est concentré sur un masque de déclenchement présentant plusieurs lignes de déclenchement et déplacé perpendiculairement aux lignes de déclenchement de manière unidimensionnelle, le déplacement du faisceau explorateur étant couplé au déplacement du faisceau traceur. De plus, pendant le balayage des lignes de déclenchement, un signal de déclenchement temporel est généré en fonction de la disposition des lignes de déclenchement. Ce signal de déclenchement temporel permet de régler l'intensité du faisceau traceur sur le moyen mémoire. Enfin, l'hologramme est inscrit ligne par ligne par apport ponctuel d'énergie rayonnante, le moyen mémoire étant déplacé perpendiculairement à la direction de balayage des lignes d'une distance prédéterminée pour inscrire les lignes adjacentes de l'hologramme. Ledit problème technique est également résolu par un lithographe permettant de produire des hologrammes numériques.
