Patent EP-0397382-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PARRY IAN CHARLES
IPC: B61H11/00
Filed: 1990-05-02
Abstract: The retarder is installed adjacent a railway track for reducing the speed of a wagon rolling along the track and additionally has the capability of boosting the speed of a wagon. The retarder includes a hydraulic unit (1) having a portion (12) adapted to be deflected out of the path of a wheel of the wagon when directly or indirectly engaged by the wheel before returning to its original position. The unit (1) has adjustable hydraulic damping capable of resisting such deflection to retard the wagon, and a wagon speed responder (9) for adjusting the hydraulic damping of the unit to retard a wagon travelling at high speed. The retarder further includes a regenerative source (2) of hydraulic fluid under pressure connected to the unit (1) by a selector valve (4) such that, when a wagon passes over the unit travelling at high speed, the resultant retarding operation of the unit results in charging of the regenerative source (2) with hydraulic fluid whereas, when a wagon subsequently passes over the unit travelling at low speed, hydraulic fluid under pressure is supplied to the unit from the regenerative source (2) to cause boosting of the speed of the wagon by forced return displacement of the portion (12) in direct or indirect engagement with a wheel of the wagon.

Abstract: In a method of operating a condensing economiser for a combustion heating plant and having a sensible heat recovery section (12) and a latent heat recovery section (14), the flow rates and temperatures of the heat exchange fluid are controlled so that the minimum flue gas temperature in the sensible heat recovery section is above the acid dew point of the flue gas, and so that the flue gas is cooled to a temperature below the water dew point for that gas in the latent heat recovery section. Appropriate valves and pipework are provided to allow the establishment of co-current flow in the sensible heat recovery section when burning sulphur-bearing fuels, and counter-current flow when burning sweet fuels. A water spray may be used to cool the flue gas prior to its entry into the latent heat recovery section, to minimise the likelihood of acid condensation occurring.

Abstract: Installation for detecting a person overboard from a boat, in which a circuit (22) transmits a low-frequency interrogation signal to a loop (16, 18, 20) arranged on the periphery of the deck (12). Transceivers carried by each person on board, when they detect the intense signal transmitted by the loop, send back a high-frequency signal which is detected by the circuit. As the field is extremely weak outside the loop, a person falling into the sea is detected very clearly by the disappearance of the response of the transceiver which has not received the interrogation signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A three-phase single wave power supply reactance type motor having a construction wherein at least two motors are juxtaposed inside a casing (42), so that the number of magnetic poles (16a, ...) and the number of salient poles can be made small and consequently a small-diameter long motor can be obtained. In the construction wherein n three-phase single wave motors are juxtaposed, the output torque is n times the torque of one motor. When a phase difference of 120°/n is provided for the output torque of each motor, torque ripple can be reduced and better start performance is obtained. Since magnetic energy stored in excitation coils (17a, ...) is fed back to a D.C. power source of a high impressed voltage, the extinction of magnetic energy is rapidly done to prevent the generation of counter-torque, and the storing of magnetic energy is also rapidly done by the impressed high voltage to prevent the generation of deceleration torque. Alternatively, the reflux of the stored magnetic energy of the excitation coils 917a, ...) to which the power supply is cut off, to the D.C. power source is prevented by diodes, and the great electromotive force at that time is used to accelerate the storage of magnetic energy of the excitation coils (17a, ...) to which the power is to be next supplied, so that the extinction and storing of magnetic energy are accelerated so as to prevent the generation of the deceleration torque and the counter-torque.

Abstract: In a method and a device for attaching a thin flexible printing plate on a plate cylinder of a web-fed rotary printing machine, an adhesive, e.g. a glue for detachable bondings, is applied between the rear side of the printing plate and the outer surface of the plate cylinder. The printing plate is then applied so as to be in register and placed without creasing on the plate cylinder. Due to the adhesive, the printing plate adheres firmly to the body of the plate cylinder or a non-detachable base provided on the plate cylinder and is mounted virtually securely against displacement, in particular against transverse forces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purifying waste and/or drinking water of nitrates and/or nitrites. The nitrates and/or nitrites contained in the iron-bearing water to be purified or in water containing a metal to be subjected to other reduction/oxidation are reduced to gases to be removed from the system by supplying into the water to be purified a bisulphite solution or sulphur dioxide in such a way that the pH-value of the system remains in the range 2.0-6.5. The bisulphites, which have remained in the system after the reduction, and other sulphur compounds produced by the reduction are removed by precipitating them into sulphate or carbonate by supplying into the water oxygen and calcium hydroxide or carbonate or other hydroxide or carbonate and by maintaining the pH-value within the range 6.5-9.5.

Abstract: The invention relates to a receiver with at least two receiving branches (1a, 2a...Ja; 1b, 2b...Jb) for reception of a transmitted data string, in which the signals of each receiving branch are combined according to their reception quality. In the case of digital data signals with a high data rate, in which adjacent signal interference occurs due to a dispersive channel, so-called Maximal Ratio Combining proves to be unsuitable. It is therefore proposed in the case of receivers for digital data signals to provide an equaliser (4a, 4b) in each receiving branch, which supplies reliability information (9a, 9b) to each detected data element. The data string then transmitted is estimated taking into account the reliability information determined for the individual receiving branches. <IMAGE>
