Inventor: ELFLEIN REINHOLD
IPC: F24H1/18
Filed: 1988-08-18
Abstract: A hot water heater includes a water tank defining a tank space for accommodating water; a cold water inlet and a hot water outlet connected to the tank; a hot water tap in the hot water outlet for controlling flow of hot water from the water tank; a cold water valve in the cold water inlet for controlling flow of cold water into the water tank; and a volume altering device for changing the tank space. The volume altering device comprises an expandable and collapsible chamber situated in the tank space and defining a chamber space hermetically separated from the tank space; and a volume varying arrangement connected to the chamber and exposed to pressure of inflowing cold water for increasing the chamber space by a predetermined volume while correspondingly reducing the tank space when the hot water tap and the cold water valve are open and for reducing the chamber space by the predetermined volume while correspondingly increasing the tank space subsequent to closing the hot water tap and the cold water valve to obtain a water-free space having the predetermined volume and forming part of the tank space.

Abstract: A wiper speed control system for an automotive wiper controls the operational speed of a wiper in accordance with rain conditions. The control system includes a rain sensor (30) detecting rain conditions to produce . an analog signal having an amplitude depending upon the detected rain conditions. The analog sensor signal is converted into a digital pulse signal by a converter (12) for application to a digital circuit system. A control signal is produced by digitally processing the pulse signal. The control signal is applied to a wiper driver circuit to adjust the operational speed or timing in accordance with the control signal.

Abstract: The object of the method described is to produce cables (10) having optical fibres (1), suitable for severe mechanical environments whilst having a small cross-section. Up until now, the mechanical strength of cables having optical fibres was obtained by plastic structures of large cross-section, reinforced by metallic strands or glass fibres. In the method described, the reinforcement is obtained by metallic composites (3) having very high mechanical strength and of small diameter, which are placed parallel to the fibre (1).

Abstract: An electrode (30) and carrier (50) assembly is disclosed for attachment to a biological subject, such as a fetus during labor to monitor the fetal heart rate.The electrode structure includes a clip-like body (26) having clamping portions and members (16a, 26a) adapted to engage cam surfaces within a carrier. The ends of the clamping portions which serve as electrodes are insulated (18) leaving only the tips exposed. While the electrode structure is housed within the carrier the clamping portions are held apart. Attachment is accomplished by placing the carrier (50) against the subject and moving the members into engagement with the cam surfaces (52a, 52b), whereby the cam surfaces eject the electrode structure from the carrier by the cam action thus allowing the clamping portions thereof to clamp into the subject's skin. The carrier may then be removed completely, leaving only the electrode structure with its associated wiring.
