Patent EP-0369066-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BAUERMEISTER JOACHIM
IPC: A23G1/12
Filed: 1988-11-17
Abstract: A process is proposed for raising the product outflow in filter mills which process products which change from the solid to the liquid phase during the crushing. The raising of the product outflow is achieved by rotation of the filter basket, by means of which additional inertial forces (centrifugal forces) are applied on the product to overcome the viscosity forces in the region of the filter passage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to combine in a single mechanism a feeder for feeding objects one-by-one and an accelerator, the feeder has suction nozzles 12 which circulate at constant angular velocity in a closed path including a pick-up point 12ʹ and a discharge point 12ʺ. By mounting the nozzles 12 on pivoted arms 10 and controlling the pivoting motion of the arms 10 by means of a fixed cam 14, the radius at which the nozzles 12 travel varies as they circulate in such a way that they are travelling substantially more slowly at the pick-up point than at the discharge point.

Abstract: Système (13) de recyclage de toner doté d'un réservoir (45) d'alimentation séparé de dispersant liquide clair, et de réservoirs (47, 49, 51 et 53) de concentré colorant. On fait circuler le dispersant liquide de manière ininterrompue à partir de son réservoir d'alimentation, au moyen d'une pompe (59), le long de tubes (61), jusqu'à un applicateur (23) de toner puis on le fait revenir au réservoir d'alimentation. On injecte et on mélange sélectivement le concentré colorant contenant les particules de pigments solides portant la charge, avec le dispersant, au moyen de pompes ou de vannes (73) afin d'obtenir un toner liquide lorsque l'on veut développer une image latente. L'excédent de toner est récupéré et envoyé à un séparateur (63) de solides, employé soit pour une couleur particulière de toner soit commune à tous les toners, où une électrode (79) à tension de polarisation repousse les particules de pigments solides vers une surface accumulant des particules, ce qui permet ainsi de séparer les particules du dispersant. Le dispersant est renvoyé au réservoir d'alimentation, tandis que les particules accumulées sur la surface soit du tambour soit de la courroie (81) et formant une couche de concentré sont raclées par des lames (95, 97, 99 et 101) et renvoyées au réservoir approprié.

Abstract: A swash-plate type compressor comprises a plurality of cylinder chambers (60) parallel to each other, a rotary shaft (1), a swash plate (10) connected to the rotary shaft for rotation therewith and for wobbling motion due to the rotation, and a plurality of pistons (7) subject to wobbling motion of the swash plate for reciprocation within the respective cylinder chambers. The shaft (1) and the swash plate (10) are connected to each other through a slot (166) formed in one of them and a pin (80) provided on the other, such that the swash plate is capable of wobbling. A position of a center of rotation of the swash plate is supported by a spool device (30, 40) movable in coaxial relation to the shaft (1). Displacement of the spool device (30, 40) causes the position of the center of rotation of the swash plate and an inclination thereof to be varied to vary a reciprocative stroke of each piston (7), thereby controlling discharge capacity of the compressor. The engaging slot (166) has at least a section thereof between positions corresponding respectively to a maximum discharge capacity and an intermediate discharge capacity of the compressor, which section is formed into a nonlinear configuration (166a) in such a manner that an angle between a normal line (n) of the slot and an axis of the shaft decreases at a position corresponding to a large discharge capacity of the compressor, thereby restraining an increase in inclined moment acting upon   the swash plate (10) due to a dead volume occurring in the working chamber on one side of the piston at a large capacity of the compressor.

Abstract: The cell culturing system of the present invention includes a tubular membrane, e.g. hollow fiber, cartridge. Provision is made for the continuous circulation of a nutrient-containing medium through the tube side of the cartridge by pumping the nutrient-containing medium in an endless loop. The cells to be cultured are placed within the cartridge on the shell side where the desired extracellular products are accumulated. Nutrients are assimilated into the cell culture through the semipermeable tubular membranes and waste products are removed by passing through the semipermeable membranes into the recirculating nutrient-containing medium. Within the endless loop (20) are located a circulating pump (24), an oxygenator (26) and a pH probe. The system additionally includes a variable delivery feed pump (22) for continuously injecting fresh nutrient-containing solution into the loop, which feed pump is operated at a rate responsive to the measured pH. A portion of the stream exiting the cartridge is continuously split off at a rate identical to that for the introduction for fresh nutrient-containing solution in order to maintain cellular waste products at a suitably low level. The conventional nutrient-solution preparation reservoir has been eliminated from the loop in order to simplify the system and reduce the potential points of entry for contaminating microorganisms. The membrane cartridge is mounted with its longitudinal axis at approximately 60° with respect to the horizontal.

Abstract: In order to prevent a pane (26) made of single-pane safety glass, in the event of fire, that is to say in the event of breakdown of a supporting seal (20) between the pane (26) and a facade section (10), from falling completely from the facade, fall-out safety devices (34) are provided. In the pane (26), conical or stepped through-holes (36) are designed, into which correspondingly conical or stepped metal bolts (38) are received. The metal bolts (38) are fastened loosely to the facade supporting section (10) via wires (44), so that the pane (26) can perform normal movements as a result of thermal influences or as a result of wind loads, without a risk of squeezing being able to occur at the edges of the pane. In order that the fall-out safety devices (34) are not visible from the outside, a coated float glass pane (30) is arranged on the outside of the pane (26). Between the float glass pane (30) and the pane (26) made of single-pane safety glass, a film (28) can be provided, so that overall a composite safety glazing is produced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A drop detector has a piezoelectric membrane (1-1) mounted on a substrate (1-5). When a drop strikes the piezoelectric membrane (1-1), the membrane (1-1) vibrates at a selected resonant frequency. The resonant frequency is selected to enhance the sensitivity of the drop detector and the signal-to-noise ratio of the output. The value of the selected resonant frequency depends on the type of material used for the piezoelectric membrane (1-1), the thickness of the membrane (1-1), the mounting of the membrane (1-1) to the substrate (1-5) , and other parameters such as the coating on the membrane (1-1). The vibrations of the membrane (1-1) produce an output signal having a frequency equal to the selected resonant frequency. Since the frequency of the output signal is known, the output signal can be filtered with a bandpass filter to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the output signal. The resulting membrane (1-1) drop detector is a high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio drop detector.
