Abstract: According to the present invention, when an air-conditioning clutch of a compressor is set on, even if an improvement of a heating capacity by a viscous heater is required, a viscous clutch is turned off not to transmit a rotational driving force of an engine to a rotor of the viscous heater, and further the rotational driving force of the engine is transmitted to the compressor. In this way, a torque applied to the engine E and the V-belt can be reduced, so that a fuel consumption ratio of the engine lowers and a fuel economical performance improves. Further, because an operation of the compressor is intermitted, it is possible to remove a fog of a front windshield, so that a safety of the vehicle travelling can be prevented from being deteriorated.

Title: Coupon inserter
Inventor: BOEHM MICHAEL
IPC: B65H35/10
Filed: 1997-12-09
Granted: 2003-07-22
Abstract: A coupon inserter assembly receives a continuous supply of coupons in the form of a web where the forwardmost coupon is attached to the following coupon along a weakened web portion.  The inserter assembly includes a pair of intermittently rotating feed rollers and a pair of continuously rotating delivery rollers.  An activation sensor is located at a dispensing location or a conveyor carrying receiving products for receiving coupons.  When the activation sensor senses a receiving product, a signal is sent to a clutch-brake to activate the feed rollers.  The feed rollers then feed the web into the delivery rollers.  When a deactivation sensor located beyond the delivery rollers senses the present of the forwardmost coupon, a signal is sent to the clutch-brake which stops the rotation of the feed rollers.  Because the delivery rollers continue to pull the forwardmost coupon, the two coupons separate along the weakened web portion.  The forwardmost coupon can then be delivered to the dispensing location for placement in or on the receiving product.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for accurately controlling the amount of NH3 to be applied to a field by measuring the NH3 flow rate without condensing or cooling the NH3. The system includes a control station 12 on the vehicle with a tachometer 12A or a GPS system for providing a vehicle speed signal to a control panel 13. The control panel includes a toggle switch 17 for adjusting the opening or closing of a valve 52 in the flow line to regulate the flow through the system, although the control panel alternatively may automatically control the valve 52. The vehicle transports a tank 20 containing liquid NH3 and a tool bar 30 for distributing the NH3 to the soil. After flowing through the flow meter 40, 60, 130, the NH3 is conducted to the soil through a series of hoses, fittings, a distributor, and tubing. The flow meter transmits a signal to the control panel, which is converted to a corrected flow rate signal in response to a fixed value vaporization correction factor. The temperature of the NH3 is also measured to correct for density variations. An improved variable area meter 60, 130 uses a hall effect sensor 72 and a magnet 68 mounted on a rotatable vane shaft 70 to overcome problems with prior flow meters. The improved meter 60, 130 is ideally suited for measuring the fluid flow of a low temperature vaporization liquid, such as anhydrous ammonia, propane and butane.

Abstract: Thermal safety device for automatically blocking pipes. A thermal safety device should be developed which, in the area of the closing element, has an uninterrupted circular cross section. Furthermore, the axial guiding of the closing element during the closing stroke should be ensured. In the axial continuation of a seat located within the casing there is a gui de pin. A closing spring is aligned on this guide pin, and, when taut, the spri ng is situated as far as possible inside a blind hole, with a throat acting as a control edge, inside the closing element. Under the influence of the closing spring the ram, as part of a detecting element, when the safety device is in the open position, keeps the control edge adjacent to a click-stop edge. Once the thermal solder melts away, however, the resulting change in position of the ram means that the control edge is no longer adjacent to the click-stop edge, so that the closing element, under the influence of the closing spring, takes up the closed position. The thermal safety device acts to shut off pipes, especially gas pipes, automatically should an inadmissible rise in temperature occur.
