Abstract: The plant transports sheets of paper of different length, and folds them using rollers and adjustable end-stops (21). The rollers automatically adapt the folding slot width to the thickness of the paper being folded. There is no folding bar or axle. The arrangement has a set of adjacent sprung rollers (3) of a certain diameter (Da), with press-rollers (4), of another diameter (Db) which is less than half of them, which lie on a symmetrical axis with them. The end-stop position is adjustable between the pressure rollers and also redirects paper. The pressure-rollers are sub-divided in the direction of the axis. The end-stop adjustment zone funnels into the gaps (42). Additional guidance rollers (9) and further pressure rollers are incorporated as required.

Abstract: A reduced shear reclining seat back assembly employs a single rotary actuator (56) to recline a seat back (34) relative to a seat portion (32) and to control movement of a seat back member (74) in response to the reclining operation. The rotary actuator (56) includes a first arm (58) pivotally secured to the seat back (34), preferably through a link (70) which is connected to the movable back member (34). A second arm (80) of the actuator (56) is pivotally secured to the seat portion (32). As the angle between the first and second arms (58, 80) decreases, the seat back (34) reclines and the movable seat back member (74) is drawn toward a seat pivot axis (42). Likewise, when the angle between the arms (58, 80) increases, the seat back (34) is brought to an upright position and the movable seat member (74) travels away from the seat pivot axis (42).

Abstract: There is provided a method for flue gas desulfurization
which is capable of conducting minute control of oxidation
and which is capable of maintaining the concentration of
sulfurous acid in an absorbent liquid within a proper range
in a highly reliable and efficient manner, even in the case
where an abrupt change occurs in the operational conditions
of the system. In the method for controlling the oxidation
in flue gas desulfurization, the value of proportional
sensitivity (K) in the feed back control process, which is
based primarily on the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP),
is increased depending on the deviation (ε) in a region where
the detected value (PV) is below the target value (SV) in
correspondence with the characteristic change of the
oxidation-reduction potential against the concentration of
sulfurous acid (PN).

Abstract: An apparatus for pitting articles such as prunes or dates (7). Each article (7) is loaded between jaws of a chuck assembly which translates between stations along a process path. At a pitting turret (12), a pitting rubber (16) moves below the chuck assembly, and the chuck assembly and rubber translate together until a pitting knife (6) engages the article (7) and ejects a pit (8) therefrom. The chuck assembly then translates the pitted article (7) to a station where the pitted article (7) is discharged. Preferably, a relatively large number of chuck assemblies are provided, each having a fixed jaw (30) fixedly attached to a chain (9) and a sliding jaw (31) slidably mounted to the fixed portion. A relatively small number of pitting rubbers (16) and one pitting knife (6) for each rubber (16) are mounted to the pitting turret (12). Preferably, the apparatus includes a cam track (36) (for guiding each sliding jaw) having a portion whose radius varies sinusoidally with position around a feed unit, a portion around the pitting turret (12) for opening and then closing each chuck assembly, and an adjustable portion which can be adjusted to vary the initial maximum spacing between the fixed and sliding jaw (30, 31) of each chuck assembly. Preferably, the apparatus includes a second cam track for controlling vertical position of each pitting knife (6) and a third cam track for pivoting each pitting rubber (16) between a lowered orientation allowing access to the rubbers (16) for replacement and a raised orientation (at a pitting station) in which the rubber (16) supports a prune (7) while a knife (6) engages the prune (7). Preferably, the sliding jaws (31) have faces defining a live wall that oscillates (relative to the hub of a rotating feed unit) to promote the guiding of prunes (7) between the fixed and sliding jaw (30, 31) of each chuck assembly.

Abstract: The invention refers to a process for correcting the torque to which an engine is adjusted before a gear disengagement, preferably on the occasion of automated gear change of a stepped gearbox without using any clutch. Immediately after a gear has been disengaged, the engine is adjusted towards a zero torque (M 0 ) which will maintain the engine speed (n) constant during the gear disengagement. This zero-torque level is stored in a matrix for the relevant operating point given by at least the engine speed (n) and the engine temperature (T). During a fixed measuring period after the gear disengagement when the gearbox is in neutral position, the acceleration of the engine when it is run with the relevant zero torque is detected. Thereafter any acceleration detected is converted to a corresponding torque, which represents an error in the modulated zero torque. The original zero-torque value is thereafter corrected by applying the detected incorrect torque so that before a subsequent gear disengagement the engine is modulated with a more correct value of the zero torque (M 0 ).
