Abstract: The present invention relates to a central combustion chamber engine consisting of an
assembly formed by pistons that move from ends opposed to a combustion chamber, in which
said chamber has intake and exhaust control means for the combustion gases (valves), ignition
means or spark plug to induce the combustion of said gases and movement transmission means
from the pistons activated by the expansion of the combustion gases in compression ratios
similar to the ones of conventional internal combustion engines, towards the main engine shaft,
which is located longitudinally along the same motor assembly, and rotates using sliding means,
and achieving thus better operation performance because it uses optimal pathways of the finite-time
thermodynamic cycle, balance of the running engine and total symmetry with respect to the
ignition point which will favor a more complete fuel combustion.

IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 1997-08-06
Abstract: A bileaflet prosthetic valve has leaflet pivots symmetrically or centrically located, thereby providing a central opening about twice the size of the two lateral openings. The valve opens from the center outward to provide nonturbulent central flow. The laminar leaflets are curved in cross-section so that the downstream edges of the leaflets are closer to the centerline of the cylindrical support ring when the leaflets are in an opened configuration. This position disposes the leaflets to favor valve closure when reverse flow of blood occurs. As the leaflets move toward a closed position, upstream edges of the leaflets begin to close the lateral openings, but this movement is opposed by blood flowing through these openings thereby providing a force to decelerate the leaflets and cushion their final closing. When the valve is fully closed, a single point of contact between the upstream edge of each leaflet and the support ring leaves a small gap between the support ring and the rest of the upstream edge and prevents the downstream edges from touching each other when they close the central opening.

Abstract: The apparatus to cut a weft yarn (23), for insertion through the shed of a gripper loom, has a cutter (21) and a holding mechanism (22). A control system (6) generates signals for the two units so that the weft (23) is either released or cut. The control (6) is a sensor where the draw tension on the weft determines whether it is to be released or cut. Or it is a signal generator at the yarn feed, where its lie determines whether it is to be released or cut. The weft holder (22) has a mechanism at the weft yarn path to retain the yarn, when the unit is in the rest position. In the operating position it is outside the yarn path to release the weft for cutting. The cutter (21) has a rotating blade, and the holder has a function to lay the yarn against its cutting edge. The cutter has a circular cutting edge, or the moving blade is divided into a number of cutting edges, and can be a moving blade working together with a fixed blade forming the holder. The assembly has electromagnets to operate the units. The assembly is controlled to cut the weft at time intervals and/or set lengths as the weft is drawn off for use.
