Title: Mount for controlling or isolating vibration
Inventor: REICHARD RICHARD L
IPC: F16F13/14
Filed: 1988-04-05
Granted: 1992-12-22
Abstract: MOUNT FOR CONTROLLING OR ISOLATING VIBRATION          Abstract of the Disclosure An isolating mount for connecting two parts or mechanisms includes a rigid bushing surrounded by a resilient block which includes closed cavities on opposite sides of said bushing located along a first plane parallel to the logitudinal axis of said bushing and a passage formed by pipes extending outside the mount between the cavities.  A quantity of liquid fills the cavities and passage, providing a liquid column of predetermined inertia in the passage between the cavities for controlling the frequency and amplitude of forces transmitted through the bushing to provide tuning of the damping characteristics of the mount to preselected frequencies of vibration.  A rigid outer body surrounds and contacts the block and exerts compressive force thereon substantially along the first plane.  The bushing is connected to one of the two parts to be isolated and the outer body is connected to the other of the two parts.  A fitting in the passage permits modification of the condition of the liquid, as by injection of liquid under predetermined pressure in the closed liquid damping circuit of the mount.  Also disclosed are systems in which the effective length or diameter of the passage can be changed.  Arrangements for interactively controlling such liquid injection, for example in response to engine or vehicle operating conditions, are also disclosed, along with (optionally) adjusting the opening of a metering valve connected to control flow in the passage.

Granted: 1992-09-08
Abstract: ABSTRACT       A sanitizing station suitable for use in institutional kitchens and the like includes a plumbing cabinet, a sink mounted on top of the cabinet and a spray manifold for spraying a sanitizing solution mounted above the sink.  The solution is a mixture of water and a sanitizing chemical.  A pump is used to inject the sanitizing chemical into a water pipe that is connected to the spray manifold.  Tubing connects an outlet of this pump to the pipe.  An infrared proximity switch mounted above the sink operates both the pump and a solenoid valve located in the water pipe for a preset period of time upon placement of the user's hands at a predetermined location above or in the sink.  A covering hood can be mounted above the sink and it can provide support for the spray manifold and the switch.

Abstract: ABSTRACT An optic fibre splice tray (Figure 1A) is provided with reels (3, 4,) which can be moved towards and away from the outer walls (132, 133) of optic fibre compartments (1A, 1B) in order to hold the coiled optic fibres closely in position.  This prevents kinks developing which could lead to light losses.  Also, slots (58, 59, 60 and 61) are provided in the wall portions (56, 57) to enable an optic fibre (F1) to be conducted from one compartment to another and thence to be joined (X) to another fibre (F2) which approaches the splice tray from the same direction.  Unnecessary bending of the optic fibres is again thereby avoided.  A splice protector housing 44 is releasably attached to the lid (2) of the splice tray and removable link members (28, 29) are also provided which fit into apertures  (34, 35, 36 and 37) of adjacent trays in a stack to enable the splice trays to be stacked without risk of breakage of an integral portion of any splice tray.

Granted: 1993-07-20
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE   Coding systems utilizing machine-readable coding are disclosed. The coding systems are extremely simple to use and preferred embodiments of the machine-readable coding require no external reference or reference code or starting point or orientation for reafing or decoding. The number of usable codes for any given number of code elements (bits or digits) is maximized, or, conversely, a minimum number of code elements is required for a given application, thus allowing each code element to be of maximum size for a given coding area. Also, methods and apparatus for encoding objects, and for reading, decoding, processing and using the information obtained from such encoded objects are disclosed. The coding may be applied to objects such as casino chips, currency, automated production line components, consumer products, household items, zip coded objects, etc. The coding system and systems using the coding can be employed for enabling positive real-time detection of counterfeits (rather than mere counterfeit deterrence), cash monitoring, information gathering, object identification, etc., at minimum cost with maximum reliability and real-time speed. Preferred embodiments of systems concern round casino chips and paper money. Signals and data may be encoded independently of physical objects while obviating the need for any reference or synchronization in the coding.

Title: Simplified driver for controlled flux ferrite phase shifter

Granted: 1993-03-30
Abstract: SIMPLIFIED DRIVER FOR CONTROLLED   FLUX FERRITE PHASE SHIFTER                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A monostable circuit with device-status feedback control to an external timing terminal is used to controllably change the magnetization state of a ferrite phase shifter core.  A pair of such bistable circuits with suitable feedback controls permits a single command pulse of controlled duration to controllably both reset a ferrite core to a saturated magnetic state and then subsequently set the core to a desired non-saturated magnetization state (corresponding to the time duration of the single command pulse).  By addition of suitable steering circuits, the controlled resetting and setting of one or more pairs of such ferrite cores can also be achieved using the same single command pulse.  The ability to both reset and set plural ferrite phase shifter cores with but a single command pulse of controlled duration permits considerable simplification of beam steering control wiring for a two-dimensional phased array of RF radiators (e.g., so as to provide electronic beam steering control).
