Date Aug. 7, 1997A solar collector having a radiation absorber (1) has a number of channels for conducting heat receiving liquid, said channels accommodating particles for capillary effect to lift the liquid to effectively sweep the sun-facing surface layer of the absorber. The solar collector is started after a prolonged operation standstill by driving a liquid pump (7) intermittently by a control unit (13) acting according to a clock-controlled program. In the intermittent start-up phase, first the pump (7) is driven for 2-4 minutes, thereafter it is shut down for a time span of about 20-60 seconds, and this is repeated two or three times before a continuous operation phase is started. Thereby air in the absorber (1) channels is expelled more rapidly.

Abstract: A snowboard binding assembly with an adjustable backplate that can be quickly and easily positioned at a desired angle of inclination while on the slopes and without any tools. The binding assembly has a baseplate attachable to the snowboard with a forward end, a rearward end, and a heel brace toward the rearward end shaped to conform to a heel of a rider's boot. A backplate is pivotally mounted to the baseplate to adjust the desired angle of inclination between the backplate and baseplate. A plurality of teeth are positioned on the rear face to form a rack of teeth arranged on the rear face along a longitudinal axis of the backplate, and a movable block is attached to the rear face of the backplate along at least a portion of the rack of teeth so that the block can move along the longitudinal axis of backplate. The block has a front surface facing the backplate with a tooth that mates with the rack of teeth to inhibit upward movement between the block and the backplate along the longitudinal axis of the backplate. The block also has a base that abuttively engages with the heel brace to prevent the backplate from pivoting rearwardly beyond the desired angle of inclination. A quick-release locking mechanism is attached to the backplate for selectively securely engaging the tooth of the block with the rack of the teeth to prevent relative movement between the block and backplate along the longitudinal axis of the backplate. The releasable locking mechanism has an actuator adapted to be gripped by hand and a driver connected to the actuator. The actuator is selectively positionable in a release position to disengage the driver from the block so that the tooth disengages from the rack of the teeth and allows the block to move longitudinally with respect to the backplate. Similarly, the actuator is positionable in a lock position to engage the driver with the block so that the tooth engages the rack of the teeth and secures the block to the backplate against longitudinally upward movement with respect to the backplate.

The inwardly projecting arms form a first seal around said hole, and the outwardly projecting arms form a second seal around said hole. Each arm extends from a junction (22) with the remainder of the gasket to a tip (24) of the arm which engages one of the bodies. Each arm has its greatest thickness at said junction (22) and its smallest thickness at a point adjacent to or at said tip (24), the arm continuously reducing in thickness between said junction and said point. The gasket can yield from the tips of the arms inwardly as the pressure on the gasket increases.

Abstract: A processor in a haptic joystick renders force effects that are applied to control handle gripped by a user. A plurality of force effects specified by a host computer to the processor are stored in a random access memory (RAM) that is coupled to the processor. Further, a plurality of force effects are stored in a read only memory (ROM) that is coupled to the processor. The processor employs a scheduler to render the force effects in a specified order, for specified time intervals. The scheduler controls how the force effects are rendered, i.e., sequentially, concatenated, and/or superimposed. A play list employed by the scheduler indicates for each increment of a servo clock when each force effect should be rendered by the processor. The scheduler has a round robin queue that can implement at least five types of effects, including: behavioral, synthesized, wave table, variable parameter, and process list. <IMAGE>
