Title: Pressure-balanced vacuum blast head
Inventor: MCPHEE WILLIAM S
IPC: B24C3/06
Filed: 1996-10-11
Abstract: In a blast head (10) for a vacuum blasting operation, abrasive particles (7) in a stream of compressed air (7a) are directed against a work surface (18) and removed by vacuum. Ambient air is directed into the blast head (10) upstream of the work surface to reduce frictional forces between the blast head (10) and the work surface (18) due to the vacuum. The ambient air is admitted through a one-way spring biased valve (32). The flow of ambient air into the blast head (10) is controllable by adjusting the spring force in the valve (32).

Abstract: The insertion unit includes a chamber, whose gas pressure depends on the distance between an impact disk, a swivel arm, and an outlet nozzle. The pressure is balanced with the counteracting force of the wall of the metal skin. The pressure of the gas stored in a gas bottle (12) is decreased to a predetermined value at the gas outlet (3), from which the gas is supplied over a conductor to a gas burner.   The arrangement comprises a metal skin (15) arranged in a chamber (14) of a casing (1). A channel (43) connects the interior of the chamber with the environment. The hermetic metal skin ends at a reaction plane disk (5). A swivel arm (6) with an impact disk (9) is arranged at one end of the casing. The opposite end of the casing is connected with the reaction plane disk. Pressurized gas streams from an outlet nozzle (18) against the impact disk and into the interior of the casing, affecting on the reaction plane disk. The pressure in the interior depends on the distance between the impact disk, of the swivel arm, and the outlet nozzle. The pressure is balanced with the counteracting force of the wall of the metal skin, operating as a spring element, whereby the pressure of the gas stored in a gas bottle is decreased to a predetermined value at the gas outlet (3) of the casing, from which the gas is supplied over a conductor to a gas burner.

Abstract: A rotor position encoder is provided for an electrical machine having a rotor and a stator, the encoder including a coded disc having teeth of widths that vary in a repeating sequence and being arranged to rotate with the rotor past a sensor which outputs a signal corresponding to the coded sequence. By comparing the coded signal with an internally generated signal the position of the rotor can be determined at a first resolution level. In addition, a counter is enabled as each tooth is sensed and provides a second output signal at a higher resolution level indicative of the rotor position between successive teeth. For a multi-phase machine, a value representative of the rotor position relative to each phase is combined with the value representative of the incremental position common to all phases. 
     The invention thus provides high resolution rotor position encoding with simplified logic.

Abstract: The system includes an encryption system which codes a carrier signal and passes the signal across an optical transmission line. A receiver performs decryption and outputs the signal. A deterministic chaos encryption is performed by a light source (33) which has its wavelength controlled by a feedback loop (34). The loop takes the light emitted and passes it through a non-linear convertor (32). The light is then passed to a delay line (31) and fed back to the light source after mixing (37) with the information carrier.

Abstract: The system comprises a sheet of paper (1) with an image to be monitored. It is passed in front of a camera (3) which includes three chromatic components. This produces three signals (S1,S2,S3) representing the three colour components of the printed image. A matrix of coefficients (K1,K10,etc.) is held in a look-up table in order to apply a specific function to the three signals in relation to the size of the pixels within the image. The matrix is determined by the operator in relation to the image to be monitored. The coefficients are such that if the image contains a predominantly red area, then the coefficients corresponding to the blue may be most heavily weighted in order to provide an accurate detection of the quality of the print. This then provides an output signal (6) indicative of the quality of the printing operation.

Abstract: A pro-inflammatory T response is specifically prevented by the injection into a recipient of DNA encoding the variable region of a T cell receptor. In response to the vaccination, T cells expressing the variable region produce Th2 cytokines, including IL-4. A pro-inflammatory T cell response directed to an autoantigen is shown to be suppressed by DNA vaccination. The suppressive vaccination further reduced the inflammatory effect of T cells reactive against epitopes of the autoantigen not recognized by the variable region used for vaccination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for the separation of heavier from lighter fractions in aqueous slurries by means of centrifugal force. The slurry is made to spin in the separation chamber under the influence of the differential pressure generated between the inlet and outlet of a cyclone separation chamber (4). The differential pressure, which can amount to several bar, is generated by means of a pressure increasing stage in the form of a transport rotor device (20) which acts in conjunction with a stator arrangement (22); essentially this takes place immediately in front of the inlet of the slurry into the separation chamber (4). The rotor blades of the cyclone rotor device (10) as the rotor blades of the transport rotor device (20) can be mounted on the same rotary shaft (5) in order to induce additional rotary force into the slurry. The separation of floatable fractions in aqueous slurries is effected by the presence of micro gas bubbles introduced into the separation chamber (4). The separated floatable fractions can be removed from the gas bubbles to which they adhere by means of an anti-foaming device driven by the rotary shaft (5) of the transport rotor device (20).
