Patent AU-694798-B2 (AU)
Title: Roll having means for determining pressure distribution
Inventor: MOSCHEL CHARLES
IPC: B30B3/04
Filed: 1995-09-15
Granted: 1998-07-30
Abstract: A roll system for use particularly in a papermaking press nip for dewatering a fibrous web, comprising a roll disposed so as to rotatingly cooperate with another roll in a press nip, the roll having a helical sensor for sensing pressure exhibited on the roll, and transmitting pressure signals to a processor as the roll rotates. Trigger signals are generated at certain times as the roll rotates, the time of the occurrence of the trigger signal representing a specific location on the helical sensor. The pressure signals are coordinated with the trigger signals, such that the pressure corresponds to the angular position of the roll where it is sensed. The operator may thus be given a visual or audible indication of the existence of non-uniformities in pressure sensed at various locations along the roll, thereby enabling corrective action to be initiated if necessary.

Title: Thermal burning rod
Inventor: DEAN JESSIE L
IPC: B23K31/10
Filed: 1985-09-20
Granted: 1987-01-29
Abstract: An improved rod for a thermal cutting or burning torch, especially suited for underwater use, is shown to have a metallic outer tube sheath containing exothermic fuel elements within the interior of the tube, providing an open region for the passage of gas to the tip of the tube. The tube is electrically insulated along its outer length, save for an exposed open end adapted to be clamped in an electrically conductive gas-providing cutting torch handle. Within the improved rod, each of the fuel elements consists of a generally ferrous composition having one of two types of coatings. In a first embodiment, an element will be coated with a copper cladding to approximately two percent of the overall weight of the element. In the second embodiment, an element will be clad with either aluminum, or one of the aluminum class of metals, to approximately 4.6 percent by weight, the exact percentage being that percentage required for perfect thermite combustion. In use, the rod containing at least one such element is inserted within an electrically-conducting, gas-providing handle. Pure oxygen is provided, pressurized through the length of the rod, driving water out from the rod and providing a positive oxygen flow. A source of electricity is then provided to the rod and is conducted to the open tip of the rod. A closed electrical circuit is provided between the rod and the object to be cut. Upon striking an arc with the rod, a thermite burning reaction is initiated, which continues even when the supply of electricity is terminated. The rod will burn so long as oxygen is provided, providing a particularly hot cutting flame. With fuel elements of the first embodiment, the flame is found to be as effective or more effective than a thermite cutting rod. With fuel element of the second embodiment, the ability to exactly match the proper portions of aluminum or the aluminum class of metals and iron for a thermite reaction is found to produce a more effective and efficient uniform burning rod. In both embodiments, spurious internal burning, resulting from internal electrical ignition effects, is largely eliminated.

Abstract: A hydraulic pump assembly (10) for powering a hydraulic torque wrench (24) is air-powered and has hydro-pneumatic control circuitry (39) which continues operation of an air motor (18) which drives the hydraulic pump (16) for a post-advance period after an advance actuator (55) is deactuated. Operation of the pump (16) is continued for a period sufficient to retract a double-acting torque wrench (24), to permit subsequent advances of the wrench (24) within the post-advance period without restarting the pump (16) or to permit a single acting wrench to be moved from one fastener to the next within the post-advance period without restarting the pump (16). Operation of the pump (16) is terminated when the post-advance period expires if the advance actuator (55) is not reactuated, so as to conserve energy and avoid unnecessary heating of the hydraulic fluid.

Title: Underbeam axle lift assembly
Inventor: RAMSEY JOHN E
IPC: B60G11/28
Filed: 2000-08-03
Granted: 2002-10-24
Abstract: A lift assembly for an axle of the trailer of a semi-trailer or of another vehicle such as a straight truck, is mounted generally adjacent to and beneath each suspension beam of the axle/suspension systems of the trailer or other vehicle. The manner of mounting the lift assembly generally adjacent to and beneath the beam provides sufficient clearance for concurrent disposition of a dual service/parking brake chamber adjacent to and beneath the beam. The location and orientation of the axle lift assembly, relative to radial lines emanating from the pivot point of the suspension beam, facilitates the application of efficient lift forces to the beam by the lift assembly, which in turn results in less wear to an air chamber of the lift assembly. The air chamber of the lift assembly can be quickly and easily removed and reinstalled to allow for replacement of the dual brake chamber.
