Patent EP-0289214-B1 (EP)
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 1988-04-21
Granted: 1991-01-23
Abstract: A liquid dispensing system and a unified assembly for control of fluid flow in such a system has a container (1) from which liquid such as beer is drawn by an electrically controlled pump (2) to be supplied through a unified assembly (4) to a dispensing tap (5). The assembly (4) has an inlet (6) which communicates through a pressure biased non-return valve (8) with a high pressure chamber (9) and an outlet (11) to the tap (5). A piston (14) responds to high pressure in the chamber (9) to be displaced and pivot a rocking lever (26) to operate a microswitch (28) which is normally closed to operate the pump (2) but is opened in response to said displacement of the piston (14) to deactivate the pump (2). A low pressure chamber (35) communicates with the inlet passage (6) and the pressure of liquid in the system expands the chamber (35) to maintain a plunger (38) against its spring biasing. Upon entry of froth or foam into the passage (6) the low pressure thereof permits the chamber (35) to contract under the spring biasing of plunger (38) and displacement of the latter pivots the rocking lever (26) to open the microswitch (28) and deactivate the pump (2). With froth or foam in the passage (6) a normally closed bleed valve (48) is manually displaced to open communication between passage (6) and bleed outlet (47). Displacement of the valve (48) abuts and displaces the plunger (38) against its spring biasing to relieve pressure of the plunger on the rocking lever (26) so that the microswitch (28) reverts to its normal closed condition to operate pump (2) which can draw liquid from a fresh supply to displace the froth or foam from the passage (6) through the bleed outlet (47) and prime said passage with liquid for further dispensing when the bleed valve (48) reverts to its normal closed condition.

Title: Light beam positioning system
IPC: B23K26/04
Filed: 1989-04-14
Granted: 1993-06-23
Abstract: A light beam positioning system (10) has the capability of generating accurately positioned beam paths at programmed velocities between any two positions on a target surface (18). The beam positions correspond to beam position and velocity command data processed by a system control computer (22). The invention employs an error correction processor (52) that receives X and Y position coordinate signals (X and Y signals) produced by a conventional position data generator and develops compensated X and Y position coordinate signals (Xc and Yc signals) for delivery to a light beam positioner (12). The Xc and Yc signals are derived from a calibration map of an addressable field representing the positions to which the light beam can be commanded on the target surface. The Xc and Yc signals represent polynomial functions of the X and Y signals and offset beam position errors resulting from the light-directing properties of the system optical components (26, 28, 30). The error correction processor allows the use of a single command data file in the system control computer, which is capable of controlling different systems of the same model type. This can be accomplished simply by loading the error correction processor with the pertinent field correction coefficients to the particular light beam positioner in use. Such flexibility is achievable with no changes to software files in the system control computer.

Abstract: A baker's oven with heating gas circulation has a number of baking chambers (1) above one another and, in between or above these and below these, radiators (3) which are flowed through by the heating gases and connected to distribution and collection shafts (11, 12) situated on the rear side of the baker's oven. Each radiator (3) is divided, by an intermediate wall (8) which does not quite reach as far as the front wall (6), into forward and backward running flues (9, 10) for the heating gases, which merge with one another at the front wall (6), there being provided in the places of increased heat requirement means for bringing about an intensified heat transmission. In order, with as low a pressure loss as possible in the circulating circuit and with simple construction, to provide effective measures for intensifying the heat emission in regions of increased heat requirement, the forward and backward running flues (9, 10) are formed by a horizontal intermediate wall (8) and arranged above one another. Alternatively or additionally, it is envisaged that on the one hand the height of the forward running flue (9) of the radiator (3) decreases in the direction of flow of the heating gases and that on the other hand, within boundary layers, close to the wall, of the heating gases flowing through the flues (9, 10), in the front part of the radiator (3) and at a distance from its inner wall surfaces, transverse rods (13) are arranged. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An industrial sewing machine possesses an electronic control device which initiates and controls one of various functions, for example label insertion, cutting, etc., as a function of the seam length currently being produced. Each seam-length portion is defined by the product of the stitch length and number of stitches. For this, the control device processes one or more entered stitch lengths, and desired-length data entered for each seam-length portion, to the effect that the length data are divided by the particular associated stitch length, in order to obtain the correct number of stitches for each seam-length portion. This number of stitches is then calculated for each stored seam-length portion, specifically separately for the corresponding seam-length portions of the individual dress sizes of the article. For correction, a correction value is likewise entered, for example in mm, so that the stored seam-length portions are corrected by a factor, with the result that the stitch length is varied. To enter the desired-length data and the correction values, a key pad (19, 21), in conjunction with a display (7), is provided in a housing (15) of the control device. Storage of the seam-length portions for any particular dress article is carried out in a plug-in storage module (17). <IMAGE>
