Patent EP-0393311-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KIUCHI MITSUYUKI
IPC: D06F34/22
Filed: 1990-01-26
Abstract: The automatic washing machine according to the present invention is provided with an optical sensor (19) which consists of a light emitting element and a light receiving element to detect the light permeability of a solution of washing detergent and rinse water in a washer tank, and an output control means for controlling an output of the light emitting element of the optical sensor. The output control means is adapted to control such that the light permeability of water or air fed in the washer tank is a reference value, with effecting the initial setting of the optical sensor. Accordingly, the optical sensor (19) is prevented from erroneous­ly detecting the light permeability when it is stained with water drops or the like and, decreases its output. More­over, the automatic washing machine is provided with a volume sensor (20) for detecting the volume of laundries to be washed. Therefore, washing is controlled in accordance with not only the dirtiness degree of the laundries indicated by the above light permeability, but the volume of the laun­dries. In addition, a judging means is further provided in the washing machine so as to detect the kind of the using detergent, and accordingly washing or rinsing can be con­trolled in accordance with the kind of the detergent.

Abstract: An ecological system including human occupants is substantially completely isolated from the earth's environment insofar as transfer of matter is concerned. The system is open insofar as energy and information are concerned. The closed system is maintained in balance by including a diversity of plants, animals, microorganisms and the like, which cooperate to close cycles of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. Intensive agriculture is practiced by the human occupants to provide balanced nutrition for themselves and for any domesticated animals and fish which may be included in the system. The soil layer in which agriculture is practiced is aerated for growth of soil microoganisms which can remove various noxious gases from the system. A wilderness module is also included with a broad variety of plants, animals and ecological niches. The carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere in such a system may be controlled by varying the water applied to plants, particularly C4 grasses, for varying their growth rate. Such a system is under construction in Arizona.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chopping device provided with a frame, with mowing means (5, 6) for cutting the crop on the field and with opposed drum-shaped (13, 14, 22) conveyors, which rotate during operation, between which the cut crop is moved in the direction of a feed opening of a casing provided on the frame. In said casing there is rotatably arranged a chopping wheel. A first drum-shaped conveyor is formed by a drum (14) having a smooth shell, and an edge of a scraping plate (18) butts against the outer circumference of said shell, said scraping plate at its side remote from the drum joining a counter knife (20), which cooperates with the chopping wheel for cutting the crop. The other drum-shaped conveyor is provided with projections (24) for carrying along the crop. Further there are provided guide bars (35), which co-operate with the drum having carriers, whereby the guide bars extend along part of their length about the axis of rotation of the drum provided with finger-shaped carriers, such that the finger-shaped carriers move between the guide bars along part of their path of movement. The free ends of the guide bars which, seen in the intended direction of movement of the crop between the conveying drums, project beyond the path of movement of the finger-shaped carriers, are located near the discharge opening and opposite the scraping plate.

Abstract: A machine which dispenses beverages from sachets containing a beverage-producing material (such sachets as described in EP-A-0179641) injects liquid into the sachet. A pressure-sensitive base seam of the sachet is opened by liquid pressure. To prevent the base seam opening explosively and spray solids or liquid away from the beverage receptacle directly below the sachet, a heat source is employed to weaken the seam prior to opening, so that it opens non-explosively by peeling in a controlled manner. The heat source can be internal (an initial volume of hot liquid at a pressure insufficient to break the seal) or external such as a radiant source, hot air or steam. Such a machine is particularly advantageous for dispensing hot chocolate.

Abstract: The packaging container (1) has a closure lid (3) which is deep-drawn from a thin plastic film, and in which a sealing plate (5) is inserted positively and non-positively at a point where it forms a reinforced annular region (6) which presses in a sealing manner against the wall of the container body (2). Since the sealing-off of the packaging container (1) is guaranteed solely by this annular region (6), an additional sealing connection merely fulfils the task of a tamper-proof closure and is of correspondingly weak design so that the packaging container (1) can be opened particularly easily. The locally bounded reinforcement of the otherwise flexible closure lid (3) also contributes towards this purpose. An undercut (16) on the opening edge of the container body (2) allows the closure lid (3) to snap in again, thus forming a tight renewed closure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une méthode et à un ruban pour relier des bandes de papier. Lors de la production du papier, il peut arriver qu'une bande de papier soit déchirée ou coupée accidentellement, et dans ce cas les extrémités sont reliées au moyen d'un ruban. A l'endroit de la jonction connue, les extrémités des bandes se trouvent l'une sur l'autre, et un ruban à deux faces est placé entre celles-ci. Suite à des défauts de production, le papier ne recouvre pas toujours complètement le ruban, ce qui provoque le collage du papier par-dessus et par-dessous le point de jonction du rouleau, entraînant ainsi une rupture de la bande. On peut éviter cet inconvénient en utilisant un ruban à face unique (1) dont le film protecteur est divisé en deux parties (5, 6), ce qui permet l'utilisation d'un raccord bout-à-bout ne présentant aucun danger de collage.
