Patent EP-1367445-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ORSINI ROCCO A
IPC: H05G2/00
Filed: 2003-05-23
Abstract: An EUV radiation source (12) that generates a sheet (36) of a liquid target
material that has a width that matches the desired laser spot size (28) for good
conversion efficiency and a thickness that matches the laser beam/target
interaction depth. The EUV source (12) includes a reservoir (10) containing a
pressurized cryogenic liquid target material, such as liquid Xenon. The reservoir
(10) also includes an array (14) of closely spaced orifices (16). The liquid target
material is forced through the orifices (16) into a vacuum chamber as separated
liquid stream filaments (20) of the target material that define the sheet (36). The
liquid streams freeze to form an array of frozen target filaments (20). A laser
beam (24) is directed to a target area (28) in the vacuum chamber where it
irradiates the stream of filaments (20) to create a plasma (30) that emits EUV
radiation (32).

IPC: E01F5/00
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: A particular problem with filter drains used beside highways is that they
generally comprise a trench within which an aggregate infill is provided in order to
allow soak away. Unfortunately, vehicles which drift off the highway and into the
trench may tend to "plough" that aggregate and become dangerously embedded,
etc. In accordance with the present invention, a reinforcing mesh is provided at
an appropriate location within the filter drain in order to ensure retention of
appropriate soak away whilst inhibiting ploughing such that it is easier for a
vehicle to extract itself from the filter drain. The reinforcing mesh comprises a
perforated plastic sheet having regular sized apertures in order to bind any
compression of aggregate into those apertures for resistance to ploughing. The
reinforcing mesh 5 is positioned at a desired spacing below the aggregate
surface within the trench of the filter drain.

Title: Secheur a circulation d'air pour bandes de tissu
Inventor: HARTMANN WILHELM
IPC: F26B13/10
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: Un problème des sécheurs à circulation d'air connus, destinés p. ex. au séchage de bandes de matière textile, est que la quantité d'air de circulation dépend aussi bien des caractéristiques de séchage souhaitées que du guidage de la bande de tissu en suspension. Si la quantité d'air de circulation est inférieure à un seuil minimal, la bande de tissu risque d'être en équilibre instable dans la zone de traitement. L'objectif de l'invention est de créer un sécheur à circulation d'air dans lequel la bande de tissu peut être maintenue en suspension en équilibre stable par un coussin d'air de façon continue, indépendamment du flux d'air. A cet effet, les caisses à tuyères (7, 8) par lesquelles de l'air peut être envoyé sur la bande de tissu (1), puis évacué par l'intermédiaire de canaux de retour, sont pourvues de moyens servant à obturer au moins partiellement lesdits canaux de retour, ce qui permet de régler la pression de l'air entre la bande de tissu (1) et les caisses à tuyères (7, 8) et par là même la force portante de l'air. Le sécheur à circulation d'air selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour l'apprêtage des textiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to an overload coupling (20), especially for a floor cleaning device (10), which limits the transfer of torque.  Said overload coupling comprised a drive element (26) and an output element (42,40) which are arranged in a concentric manner in relation to each other, thereby forming an intermediate chamber (50).  The intermediate chamber receives at least one coupling element (52) which transfers torque which can be transferred from the intermediate chamber (50) to a backup chamber (56) in the presence of an overload counter to the effect of an elastic restoring force.  According to the invention, said coupling comprises a spring-weighted overload element (64) which is arranged in the peripheral direction of the coupling element (52) and which releases the backup chamber (56) for the coupling element in the presence of the overload, in order to produce an easy-to-construct and economical overload coupling (20).  The invention also relates to a cleaning head for a floor cleaning device comprising said type of overload coupling.
