Patent JP-3424190-B2 (JP)
IPC: E21D21/00
Filed: 1995-01-10
Granted: 2003-07-07
Abstract: A rock anchor (1), which can be secured in any position by fitting a tensioner, has a securing section (4) consisting of a tensioning sleeve (6) with a counter taper (7) and a wedge (8) matching the tensioning sleeve (6) which can be fitted over the anchor pin (2). The wedge slope is about 3 DEG , as is that of the taper (7), so that it is possible not only to insert the wedge (8) reliably into the taper (7) but also to apply the tensional forces evenly without peak tensions and consequent wear on the GFP anchor pin. The GFP anchor pin does not have to be slotted; rather, securing is effected by suitably fitting the securing section (4) and fixing the wedge (8) by a tensioner (9) or a tensioning screw (16), so that the fixing may be made at virtually any point on the anchor pin (2).

Title: Procedimiento de transmisión y de estimación del tiempo de llegada en sistemas de localización acústicos basados en modulación DFT-S-DMT
Inventor: GARCIA NUNEZ ENRIQUE
IPC: G01S5/30
Filed: 2015-07-22
Granted: 2017-05-05
Abstract: En esta invención se propone el empleo de una modulación por multitono discreto, ensanchado por transformada discreta de Fourier (DFT-S-DMT, Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread-Discrete Multitone Modulation) no coherente, conjuntamente con una técnica de estimación de la velocidad relativa emisor/receptor, para su aplicación en sistemas de localización acústicos. Con ello se permite realizar un ajuste eficiente del ancho de banda disponible para emisión así como compensar el efecto Doppler a partir de la estimación realizada de la velocidad. Con esta invención se mitigan también los problemas de las modulaciones multiportadora como la multiplexación por división de frecuencias ortogonales (OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing), que aunque permiten adaptar el ancho de banda de las señales a transmitir de forma eficiente, requieren la recuperación de reloj en el receptor y amplificar unas señales generadas que sufren de una elevada relación pico-valor medio de potencia (PAPR, Peak-to-Average Power Ratio).

Title: Method and apparatus for mixing textile fibers and particulate materials
Inventor: FOSTER RAYMOND KEITH
IPC: D01G7/04
Filed: 2001-08-28
Granted: 2005-05-19
Abstract: Two dispersers tunnels (20, 22) are provided at a disperser station. Each disperser tunnel (20, 22) houses two dispersers (24, 26 and 28, 30). Each pair of dispersers (24, 26 and 38, 30) are spaced apart and confront each other, with a mixing zone (42, 54) being defined between them. A separate conveyor (32, 34, 36, 38) is provided for feeding textile fiber modules, e.g. cotton boll modules (18, 18', 18'', 18'''), to the dispersers (24, 26, 28, 30). Each pair of dispersers (24, 26) removes fiber clumps from the leading ends of the modules (18, 18', 18'', 18''') and dispenses them into the mixing zone (42, 54) in admixture with the fiber clumps from the other disperser (24, 26, 28, 30) of the pair. The blend or mixture of fiber clumps is collected in the upper run (50) of a conveyor (52) that serves to carry the fiber clumps away from the disperser station. The feed rate of the modules (18, 18', 18'', 18''') may be regulated and varied by regulating and varying the speed rates of the conveyors (32, 34, 36, 38). The feed conveyors may be provided with sidewalls so as to define storage bins. Bodies of particulate material may be stored in the storage bins and feed to the dispersers by use of the feed conveyors. The dispersers can be operated to dispense particles from the bodies of particulate material into the mixing zone, in admixture with particles of the other disperse of the pair. The feed rate of the conveyors can be varied for varying the feed rate of particulate material to the dispersers.
