Abstract: A magnetic automatic stop valve formed in a container of a medical fluid administration system has one magnetic element located in a float and another magnetic element located proximate a valve seat. As the fluid level in the container decreases, the magnetic field established between the float and the valve seat eventually overcomes the buoyancy of the float in the fluid and attracts the float into the valve seat at which position the flow of fluid from the container is stopped. The float is formed of two identical halves each of which has one half of an internal post. When joined together to make the float, the internal post is fully formed and extends from one end of the float to the other. One magnetic element is slid over the post during manufacture and is free to slide from one end of the float to the other. Due to the symmetrical nature of the float and the freedom of movement of the internal magnetic element on the post, the float may be inserted into the fluid container without regard to which direction it faces thus lowering manufacturing costs. Flow seals are provided to completely shut off flow when the float is seated.

Abstract: In a power source for an electric arc welder including an inverter having two primary circuits connected in a series circuit across the DC bus of an input rectifier where each primary circuit comprises a capacitor parallel with a primary winding section and a switch to apply the voltage of the capacitor across the primary winding section, so that the primary circuits alternately create a voltage pulse in the primary winding sections to induce voltage pulses in a secondary circuit having a secondary winding coupled to said primary windings and connected by an output circuit to an output welding circuit. There is provided one improvement. The improvement is a soft ferrite saturable reactor in at least one of the series circuit or the output circuit to delay the voltage pulse in the primary winding sections. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Transversal cutting machine comprises feeding means (20) that supply a log of paper (15), for example hygienic paper, to a sawing station at which rolls or stacks (16) are cut off from the log (15) by a blade (25). During the cutting step the log (15) is held by a clamping device (1), divided in two parts (2, 3) arranged respectively upstream from and downstream of a slit (17) through which the blade (25) passes. In particular, the first part (2) and the second part (3) of clamping device (1) are movable relatively so that during the cut the log (15) is locally subject to traction at the same time of the blade (25) driven in the log. This way, during the cutting action of the blade (25) an opening (17) is created on the log (15) having a size at least the same as the thickness of blade (25) same. This makes easier the action of blade (25) since it reduces the friction produced between the blade (25) and the log (15). Moreover, the clamping device reduces the friction between the blade and the log thus reducing the wear caused by the cutting step. (Fig. 3)

Abstract: A housing and mandrel form melt distribution channels and a die(16) with a wire guide(18) for several wires and a mouth section(20) is attached to the mandrel. The mouth section has a slit nozzle(58) for extruding a flexible flat cable and the die and wire guide can be set relative to each other by an adjuster(70,72). Each melt distribution channel forms a slit mouth at the mandrel end face and the breadth of the slit mouth is similar to that of the slit nozzle of the die. Setting of the adjuster can be made at least transverse to the wire movement direction. The adjuster comprises one or more screws(70,72) with differential thread(78,82) for fine adjustment contacting the mouth section(20) and/or wire guide(18). Each screw is screwed into a sleeve(80) with an external thread of the same thread direction, but different pitch. The sleeve is screwed into the housing or die(16). For adjustment a head(88) of the sleeve is rotated and causes the non-rotatable screw to move axially so that the end(74) of the screw shaft contacts the mouth section and/or wire guide. Movement of the adjuster can be by hydraulic or piezoelectric methods. The wire guide has parallel channels(66) for each wire. Each channel has a rectangular cross-section similar to that of the wire. The wire guide comprises two plates between which wires are guided comb-like. The melt distribution channels form a slit mouth at the mandrel end face and the slit width corresponds to the breadth of the slit nozzle(58). A central section of the melt distribution channel has continuously increasing breadth in the flow direction and channel recesses give locally increased flow. An area of the mandrel end face extends beyond the housing face and seals against the die leaving a chamber between housing and die. The mandrel is wedge-shaped and has wedge faces sealing against the housing. Two melt distribution channels in the sealing faces run towards each other. Melt channels are heated by two or more separately controlable heating elements with different outputs. Flow into each channel is controled by a valve. Several mandrels forming a modular system can be placed side by side in the housing to adapt to different widths of flexible flat cable. An independent claim is included for a process for manufacturing a flat flexible cable with the claimed extrusion head.
