Patent AU-727766-B2 (AU)
Title: System for controlling tension of a primary backing material in a tufting machine
Inventor: MCGOWAN OLIVER W
IPC: B65H23/192
Filed: 1998-01-15
Granted: 2000-12-21
Abstract: A system for controlling tension improves carpet quality by maintaining tension along a primary backing material at a constant value. The system controls the tension by maintaining the speed of an entry pin roller slightly slower than the speed of an exit pin roller. The exit pin roller is driven with a main drive motor while the entry pin roller is independently driven by a separate vector drive motor. An encoder, coupled to the exit pin roller, is driven in synchronism with the exit pin roller and produces a pulsed output which is converted into an analog signal representative of the speed of the exit pin roller. A controller receives a user-defined desired value of tension and monitors outputs of a pair of load cells to determine the amount of tension actually on the primary backing material. Based on the difference between the actual value of tension and the desired value of tension, the controller produces a control signal which is fed to a drive circuit. The drive circuit drives the vector motor and, consequently, the entry pin roller at a speed dictated by the analog signal representing the speed of the exit pin roller and the control signal generated by the controller. The quality of the carpet produced by the tufting machine is improved since the stitch density and the carpet pattern may remain substantially constant whereby variations in patterns can be minimized.

Title: Cooling of a continuous casting
Inventor: SAUTEBIN RAOUL
IPC: B22D11/124
Filed: 1982-11-11
Granted: 1986-10-16
Abstract: A continuously cast strand or ingot of metal is cooled as it emerges from the mold by applying a coolant directly to the surface of the strand. In order to prevent distortion at the foot of the ingot due to too abrupt cooling, polymers of molecular weight 104-108 are added to the coolant at least during the initial phase of casting. By the addition of polymers to the coolant the kinetics of formation and discharge of vapor bubbles as the coolant strikes the ingot surface are significantly altered due to the reduction in the surface tension of the coolant; as a result of this an insulating film of coolant vapor forms on the surface of the ingot thus reducing the heat flow from the ingot.
