Patent EP-0229074-B1 (EP)
IPC: F16D25/08
Filed: 1986-03-25
Granted: 1989-05-17
Abstract: Fan drive mechanism (10) includes a fan plate (15) rotatably mounted on a spindle (12) by bearings (18, 20) having an outer race (22) secured to the fan plate, an inner race (24) mounted on the spindle, and ball bearings (26) rotatably supporting the outer race on the inner race. A stop nut (64) threaded on the spindle has a forward face (66) engaging the inner race and a radially outwardly tapering conical surface (70) tapering from the forward face. The conical surface catches the fan plate upon failure of the bearings and separation of the outer race from the inner race and controls the wobble of the fan plate while stopping its rotation, thereby preventing the fan plate from separating from the spindle.

Abstract: Selon un procédé de fabrication de revêtements de sol éventuellement flottants, en particulier dans des maisons privées ou dans des entreprises, on mélange premièrement un granulé et un liant plastique durcissable jusqu'à former une masse pâteuse. On applique ensuite cette masse de manière uniforme sur la surface à revêtir et on la lisse. La grosseur des grains du granulé et/ou le rapport entre granulé et liant dans le mélange sont sélectionnés de telle sorte qu'une fois la masse appliquée et lissée, des grains adjacents du granulé se touchent uniquement ponctuellement et entre 40 et 70%, de préférence 50% de la surface revêtue, compte tenu des espaces creux existant entre les grains individuels du granulé humectés par le liant, n'est pas humecté par le liant.

Abstract: A take-away device for a flattened tubing foil forming machine having an improved foil edge position control. The take-away device for tubing foil is formed by an extruder with a tubing blow head carrying out a blowing process. The tubing foil is flattened between a pair of squeeze rollers, which pair of rollers can reversingly turn about a vertical axis of rotation. At least two turning rods are disposed following the squeeze rollers. The turning rods are pivotable about at least one vertical axis, and have, if necessary, at least one deflecting rod. The rods are pivoted by a frame member about a horizontal axis of rotation. A winding-up device receives the flattened tubing foil from the turning rod. A measuring instrument is disposed between the final turning rod from which the tubing foil is guided to the wind-up device, and the wind-up device. The measuring instrument determines the flow position of the edge of the tubing foil and, when the flow position of the edge deviates from a normal flow position, produces a measurement signal which is dependent on the deviation. The signal is conducted to a control means which converts the measurement signal into a control signal. A frame member supporting at least one rod is connected to a servomotor for receiving the control signal for turning the frame member about a pivot having a vertical axis of rotation, in response to the control signal.

IPC: C11D3/386
Filed: 1987-06-02
Granted: 1991-12-11
Abstract: The invention provides the preparation of an oxidase or oxidase-containing mixture by aerobic fermentation of a methylotrophic yeast, wherein a catalase-negative yeast is allowed to grow in a nutritive medium in the presence of a compound which induces expression of the oxidase gene but is not a substrate for the oxidase. For example, methanol oxidase is formed by induction with formaldehyde or formiate. Examples of yeasts are Hansenula polymorpha and Pichia pastoris. Specific ratios of inducing agent and carbon source, e.g. glucose, are given. The yeasts are not capable of producing catalase, so that the oxidase produced can be used for producing hydrogen peroxide, e.g. when an alkanol is combined with methanol oxidase in a washing or bleaching process. The oxidase can also be used for qualitative and/or quantitative determination of a substrate for the oxidase, e.g. ethanol or amines, or be used as a catalyst for the oxidation of a substrate in chemical synthesis.

Abstract: In a method of mixing two or more gas flows, the gas flows are passed through an array of at least three parallel adjacent guide conduits so as to emerge from said conduits into a mixing zone as a corresponding array of parallel adjacent streams flowing in the same direction. The gas flows are distributed alternatingly in said conduits so that each said stream has, as each of its neighbours, a gas stream from a different said gas flow. To improve mixing and shorten the required length of the mixing zone, the streams derived from the respective gas flows have different velocities at their emergence from the guide conduits into the mixing zone.

Abstract: Adhesive ostomy pouch (B) connecting rings (C) with radially extending gripping portions (24) are formed and stacked in angularly offset relation on a plurality of ostomy faceplates (A) in a highly automated fashion. In use, the faceplates adhere to the body of the pouch wearer. Sets of rings are die cut from a continuous adhesive coated sheet. Each set includes a plurality of spaced, identically oriented rings, in an arcuate pattern across the sheet. The sheet is intermittently advanced to bring the sets, one at a time, into alignment with faceplates located on a round platform (E). The platform is indexed to move the faceplates stepwise through a path coincident with the pattern of the ring sets. Each time the platform is indexed, a set of rings is removed from the sheet and the rings are placed on the respective faceplates, each in proper angular relation with the previous rings. Faceplates with a full complement of rings are removed from the platform.

Abstract: In electronic ballast having inverter rectifiers for fluorescent lamps, a regulation of the lamp current or of the lamp power is usually used in order to stabilize the lighting current independently of tolerances of the electrical properties of the fluorescent lamp or their aging phenomena. When such a regulation is simultaneously utilized for dimming the fluorescent lamp, difficulties arise at the lower limit of the dimming range at, for example, 1% of the nominal light power. The range of brightness at the lower limit is regulated on the basis of an additional regulation, dependent on the discharge resistance of the fluorescent lamp. An auxiliary measured quantity resulting therefrom is superimposed on the actuating quantity of the regulator that results from a reference/actual value comparison of the current or power regulation for the purpose of stabilizing the lamp current.
