Patent EP-1286066-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROBB SCOTT BRADLEY
IPC: F16C3/03
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: A slip joint (10) includes a structure that prevents a negative pressure situation from
occurring within a sealed lubricant chamber during operation thereof. The slip joint
includes a male splined member having a plurality of external splines (20) formed thereon
that cooperate with a plurality of internal splines formed on a female splined member.
The cooperating splines are disposed within a lubricant chamber (74) defined at one end by
a seal assembly (60) and at the other end by a pressure regulator assembly (80). The pressure
regulator assembly includes a housing having an open end that faces toward the
lubricant chamber. A pressure plate (90) is disposed within the housing of the pressure
regulator assembly and is supported for sliding movement relative thereto. A spring (94)
urges the pressure plate toward the open end of the housing and the lubricant
chamber. As a result, the pressure plate maintains a positive pressure situation within
the lubricant chamber, thereby deterring contaminants from passing through the seal
assembly into the region of the cooperating splines.

Abstract: A recursive VHDL compiler and a method of designing a logic circuit to be manufactured by means of a VHDL compiler. The method is adapted for designing hardware logic circuits that perform recursive computations. According to the design method, an indexing parameter is established. For values of the indexing parameter extending from a desired value to a minimum value, a recursive logic circuit is defined for a current value of the indexing parameter as interconnections between predefined logic circuits and one or more instances of the recursive logic circuit with the indexing parameter less than the current value. A base logic circuit is also defined for the minimum value of the indexing parameter. The definitions of the recursive logic circuits and base logic circuits are then processed for the desired value of the indexing parameter to produce a definition of the recursive logic circuit for the desired value of the indexing parameter in terms of predefined logic circuits.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for automatically packaging fish at high speeds into horizontally oriented cans. Speeds of approximately 600 cans per minute may be obtained with the preferred configuration of the present invention, wherein two incoming streams of fish are split into eight lanes, to achieve canning speeds of approximately twice the speed of prior art machines. Each incoming stream of fish is split into four separate processing streams or channels, primarily to reduce the operational speeds of the equipment components. Each incoming stream of fish is split by a first dividing knife into two forming chambers carried by an intermittently moving turning wheel. The fish is split again by knives located at second and third work stations of the rotating turning wheel. Four fish cakes are formed simultaneously at the second and third work stations and simultaneously discharged downwardly into horizontally oriented cans. The preferred configuration uses two symmetrical banks of equipment sharing a common drive so that two incoming streams of fish are split into eight lanes and eight fish cakes are formed and discharged into cans simultaneously.
