Patent EP-0874137-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAN DUYN KEVEN G
IPC: F16C27/04
Filed: 1998-04-22
Abstract: A support arrangement for a rotor shaft (10) includes a bearing (28) radially interposed between the shaft and a support frame (26). The bearing has a durable support (100) and a destructible support(104). The destructible support is nested within a circumferentially extending channel (78) having three-dimensionally curved surfaces (82, 84). An adjacent oil seal (44) has similar three-dimensionally curved surfaces (52, 54) In the event that the rotor becomes unbalanced during operation, the destructible support disengages from its housing (76) and glides radially within the channel to restrain the rotor longitudinally while precluding the transmission of imbalance forces from the rotor to the frame. The curved character of the seal surfaces preserves the integrity of the seal so that loss of oil will not prevent continued, low speed operation of the rotor. An optional, temporarily operable damper (148) attenuates especially severe vibrations immediately following the onset of the imbalance. A recentering system (164), also optional, applies a modest restorative force to recenter the disabled rotor and alter its natural frequency thereby inhibiting resonant oscillations at low rotational frequencies.

Abstract: To avoid surface defects during the production of injection moulded
plastic products, the surface temperature of the metallic mould is raised
above the injection transfer temperature of the plastic resin when the
resin is non-crystalline or above the fusion point temperature if the resin is
crystalline, using a temperature increase rate greater than 2° C per
second. This temperature is maintained during the resin charging period
followed by cooling at a decreasing rate greater than 2° C per second
after the completion of charging. The temperature control is conducted
using a feed back control with a detector for determining the surface
temperature of the metallic mould and mounted close to the surface of the
metallic mould.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus ( 18 ) includes a frameless stereotactic arm apparatus ( 30 ) including
a first base portion ( 42 ) mounted in a fixed relationship to the imaging device. A second
free end ( 40 ) of the arm assembly is adapted to move into varied positions near a
specimen disposed on the imaging apparatus. At least one pivot joint ( 44, 48, 52, 56,
60 ) is provided between the first base portion and the free end of the arm for permitting
selective relevant movement between the arm members. Electro-mechanical and electro-magnetic
brake devices are provided at respective joints to selectively lock the free end
of the arm assembly to the base portion. The brakes are responsive to a brake command
signal generated by the imaging device. A low pass filter conditions the brake command
signal to substantially eliminate high frequency electromagnetic switching noise in the
stereotactic arm. So that the arm is movable in emergency situations, the brakes are
adapted to release in response to application of a force in excess of a predetermined
breakaway threshold force.

Abstract: A method and a system for routing data calls in which an incoming data
call having a destination number is received. The data call is routed to a first destination
over a circuit-switched telecommunications network based on the destination number for
the data call. Transaction information is then sent to the first destination. Alternatively,
the incoming data call is received at an input port. The incoming data call is associated
with an automatic number identification and the input port is associated with an input
port identification. The automatic number identification is stored in a database in
association with the input port identification. A transfer message for the data call is
received from the first destination. The transfer message contains information relating to
an address for a second destination. The information relating to the address for the
second destination is stored in the database in association with the automatic number
identification and input port identification for the data call. The data call is disconnected
from the first destination, and the data call is routed to the second destination over the
circuit-switched telecommunications network.

IPC: H02P7/06

Abstract: The present invention provides efficient dynamic braking of a DC motor (M3) to complement servo loop control. This invention uses a combined technique where, first, a reversed-torque signal is applied to a standard motor controller (MC4) that then reverses armature current to initiate braking and, second, a dissipative load is switched between the DC voltage bus and ground in order to dissipate the regenerated current as the motor slows. As braking action continues, the dissipative load is repeatedly switched into and out of the circuit, whenever voltage on the DC voltage bus, caused by regenerated current, exceeds a selected threshold. Hysteresis is provided to maintain current flow for a controlled period, providing a pulse-width modulation of the switching action. The invention allows controlled, fast braking for repeated operations and improves overall servo positional control in high-inertia applications, such as for an image processing apparatus using an imaging drum. This invention also permits controlled braking in the event of power loss, using regenerated energy from the motor to power braking control circuitry.

Abstract: A set of locking tongs comprising a first arm (10) and a second
arm (20) each comprising a hinge end (12,22) and a grasping end (14,24). Hinge
means (30) is provided for pivotably connecting the first (10) and
second arms (20) together at the hinge ends (12,22), so that the arms (10,20)
can pivot between an open position and closed position.
Spring means (40) are included for biasing the arms (10,20) in an open
position. The locking means comprises a captured pin (50)
attached to the first arm (10) and an aperture means (80) attached to
the second arm (20). The captured pin (50) has a pin that moves
under the effects of gravity within a contained range of
motion, limited by a bracket (52). The second arm (20) has an
aperture (80) located on a surface. When the tongs are held in
an attitude such that gravity can act upon the pin (50), the pin (50)
will engage the aperture (80) and prevent the tongs from
opening. The outward force applied by the spring (40) acts to
retain the pin (50) in its locked position through frictional
forces thus resisting opening. When the arms (10,20) are depressed
thereby relieving the force felt by the sides of the pin (50)
against the aperture (80), and oriented such that the pin (50) can
move under the affect gravity, the lock may be disengaged.
