Title: Mixing apparatus and method
Inventor: GREEN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B29C48/03
Filed: 1994-04-08
Abstract: A chemical reaction involving a catalyst or enzyme is performed in a screw extruder comprising a barrel 1A containing co-rotating screws 2, 3. The catalyst or enzyme is coated on to a surface of the screws and/or barrel wall. The screws intermesh and closely wipe over each other and the barrel wall so that a thin film of reactants is mixed continuously. Reactants are introduced through inlet 8 and discharged through outlet 9 against spring-loaded ball seal 10. The catalyst may be cast on a magnetic support and held magnetically in the extruder, the catalyst emerging with the catalysed mix from which the catalyst is then separated. The reactor cap be used for polymerisation, hydrogenation of fatty nitriles or edible vegetable oils, platinum metal hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions, fat hardening, dimerisation of oleic acid, transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate, hydrogenation of molasses, conversion of waste lignin and carbohydrates, and the recovery of glucose from dustbin waste. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un rotor (10) utilisé dans un compteur destiné à compter le nombre de feuilles rassemblées dans une pile comprend plusieurs rainures de transfert (13) qui s'étendent de manière globalement hélicoïdale entre les surfaces supérieure (11) et inférieure (12) du rotor. Chaque rainure (13) comporte plusieurs orifices d'aspiration (15) qui connuniquent par des passages internes prévus dans le disque avec une source de basse pression pour aspirer dans la rainure de transfert la feuille suivante dans la pile à compter. Le rotor définit également une fente (32) de rejet et dans une partie recouvrant le doigt (23) de la surface du rotor conduisant dans la rainure de transfert (13) d'autres orifices (25) sont formés, sur lesquels l'aspiration est appliquée en synchronisation avec la rotation du rotor. Si le rotor venait à prélever deux feuilles superposées l'aspiration s'effectuant par les orifices (25) séparerait les deux feuilles et la feuille du dessus serait renvoyée par la fente de rejet (32) pour être comptée pendant le cycle de comptage suivant, alors que l'autre feuille, celle du dessous, continuerait son parcours dans la rainure de transfert (13) pour être comptée normalement.

Abstract: A helical drive system (10) reads tracks (18) on a storage medium (12), including tracks which appear as distorted tracks. Each track (18) comprises a plurality of blocks of data, with each block having unique block-identifying information. A read head (16C) traverses predetermined original azimuthal paths (P0) across the storage medium (12) for reading the blocks recorded along each of the original azimuthal paths (P0). A controller (50) uses the block-identifying information to determine whether any blocks expected to be read during the traversal of the original azimuthal paths (P0) were not read. If expected blocks were not read, the controller (50) rewinds or otherwise reverses the direction of travel of the storage medium (12); sends a signal to a tape transport drive (81) to slow the speed of the medium (12); and, directs that the medium (12) be re-read at a slower tape re-read speed. During the slow re-read attempt, the read head (16C) traverses modified azimuthal paths (P1, P2, P3,... P10) which are separated from one another by a distance less than the track pitch, thereby providing opportunities to read blocks which would not otherwise be read due to distortion of the tracks (18).

Title: Roll bar device with internal guide and external guide
Inventor: NOWACK REINHARD
IPC: B60R21/13
Filed: 1994-07-22
Abstract: To simplify a roll bar device without sacrificing stability, the present invention proposes using hollow cylindrical upright tubes (5, 6) as internal guide mechanism for the legs (3, 4) of an essentially U-shaped roll bar (1). These upright tubes (5, 6) are rigidly connected to a mount (7) built into a vehicle. An external guide for the bar legs (3, 4) is provided by guide bores (13) situated, with large radial clearance from the legs (3, 4), in a guide block (12) which is also attached to the mount (7). This tolerance is balanced by a radially elastic guide bush (35) in each case. As a result the bar legs (3, 4) can maintain a closed casing.

Abstract: Des modèles de synthétiseur destinés à émuler des instruments de musique sont améliorés pour prendre en compte les vibrations dues à la résonance des cordes. Dans un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, le signal de sortie d'un modèle (220) de synthétiseur de sons est gradué et le signal gradué est utilisé en tant que signal d'entrée pour un certain nombre d'émulateurs (201-212) de corde unique, ce qui entraîne lesdits émulateurs à produire des signaux sonores correspondant aux vibrations dues à la résonance des cordes. Les signaux de sortie du modèle (22) de synthèse et de tous les émulateurs (201-212) de corde unique sont ajoutés les uns aux autres. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des émulateurs de corde unique correspondnat à une octave sont utilisés pour émuler les cordes basses d'un instrument émulé. Dans un autre mode de réalisation encore, un synthétiseur inclut un bus d'entrée (220A) destiné à accepter un signal sonore, un dispositif de graduation (244), une pluralité d'émulateurs de corde unique et un dispositif permettant de faire la somme des signaux de sortie des émulateurs de corde.

Abstract: A bearing anchor (11) may be moved or set along a section of the circumference of the rose (2) on or under the soundboard. Thanks to an appropriate design of the bearing anchor, it serves as a holder for one or several sound sensors (6), together with their associated lines, and may be introduced into the instrument through the rose, passing by the strings. The bearing anchor may be linked to a belt (3, 10, 14). By an appropriate design of belt (10) and anchor (11), the belt (10) draws the bearing anchor (11) against the soundboard when it is stretched along an axis parallel to the soundboard, so that the anchor is pressed against the soundboard along a section of the circumference of the rose and is thus held in place.
