Abstract: Method of manufacturing a large-calibre plastic pipe, a hollow plastic profile of thermoplastic material which has a rectangular cross-section being extruded and close-together windings with adequate deformability being wound helically around the hollow plastic profile on a drum and, during the winding operation, the windings being welded to one another at the contact surfaces by means of a butt weld with axial pressure and heat being applied. The hollow plastic profile is shaped with an elongated, rectangular overall cross-section in an extrusion die as a multi-cell profile having profile outer walls and cell-forming cross-pieces. At the same time and/or thereafter, it is calibrated by internal cooling of the profile outer walls and of the cell-forming cross-pieces and provided with a dimensional strength which is stable up to a predetermined critical pressure. The calibrated and dimensionally stabilised multi-cell profile is again heated at the contact surfaces to the welding temperature of the thermoplastic material. The butt weld between the windings is welded under an axial pressure below the critical pressure for dimensional stability. - Extrusion dies for carrying out the method are also specified.

Abstract: 1. Drive motor control method in large domestic appliances, especially in washing machines and linen dryers. 2.1. The washing sequence during a washing or drying process is intended to be optimised in such a manner that values which are always reproducible and constant can be achieved. In known appliances of the type under discussion, the drum drive takes place in a purely time limited manner via program switching mechanisms or time switches. However, because of fluctuations in the mains, this always results in different drum rotation speeds and hence different washing sequences. Using the method according to the invention, the drive motor is driven precisely via the number of drum rotations to be executed. In consequence, the washing sequences remain constant and are reproducible. 2.2. The said drive takes place by presetting a nominal number of revolutions. The preset nominal value is defined either in numbers of revolutions, drum centre angle degrees or by the number of tacho periods emitted by the tacho generator. 2.3. The method is used in washing machines or linen dryers. Transfer in an analogous manner to dishwashers is possible.

Abstract: Residual paint is flushed from a paint distribution system (12) by simultaneously injecting a measured volume of atomized solvent and a quantity of compressed air into a manifold (58). Prior to injection, the solvent is first moved into a metering cylinder (44) having an outlet therefrom communicating with the manifold (58). A metering piston (46) is slideable within the metering cylinder (44) for urging the measured volume of solvent into the manifold (58). An air pressure responsive piston (32) is connected to the metering piston (46). At the appropriate times, air pressure is applied to the air piston (32) and also injected into the manifold (58). As the air piston (32) is moved, the connected metering piston (46) forces the measured solvent through an atomizer nozzle (56) and into the manifold (58).

Abstract: A ring laser gyroscope rotational sensing system and cavity length control system for a multioscillator ring laser gyroscope can operate with a simple upright symmetric optics mechanism, where the required signal is performed fully electronically. Signal separation circuitry is provided which performs a 90° or π/2 radians phase shift to one of a set of heterodyned signals in order to extract the Faraday frequency signals W A  and W B . In order to deal with the inherent problems of crosstalk present in a Faraday frequency system, alternative signal separation schemes suggest the use of a 45 or π/4 radians phase shift, as well as a 60° or π/3 radians phase shift. Complementary cavity length control schemes can be in fixed component or digitally controlled formats.
