Patent EP-0636560-A1 (EP)
Inventor: APPENZELLER GERHARD
IPC: B65G53/08
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: The auger pump for the continuous conveyance of dust-like and fine-grained bulk materials has a conveyor worm (4) which is mounted on one side and which conveys the bulk material out of an entry space (6), which is under ambient pressure, via a non-return flap (12) arranged at its discharge end, into a pressure chamber (11). Arranged at the discharge end of the conveyor worm (4), between the latter and the non-return flap (12), is a stabilising grating (2) preferably designed as a cross. This stabilising grating or stabilising cross counteracts a rotation of the slug of material downstream of the discharge end of the conveyor worm, that is to say this rotation is prevented in order thereby to reduce the wear of the corresponding components, especially of a dust bush (18) arranged there, and to ensure quiet running along with stable and effective conveyance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 2.1. In known solutions for shifting the phase in DFB grating fields, more or less abrupt phase shifts are mostly realised. The aim of the solution according to the invention is to achieve continuous phase shifts for the purpose of improving important characteristics of optoelectronic components. 2.2. According to the invention, this is achieved by means of an optical waveguide which is inserted in the region of the DFB grating field of the optoelectronic component and which is curved over a sublength of the grating field. The form of the waveguide curvature and the length and the amplitude of the curved waveguide region determine the phase shift. 2.3. The optical waveguide constructed according to the invention can be applied in all optoelectronic components based on DFB gratings such as, for example, lasers, laser amplifiers, filters, couplers and switches.

Abstract: By incorporating two-pole circuits (13) as switching elements in a picture display device based on field emission, the emission (and hence the picture intensity) is substantially defined by the charge of a capacitance (15) associated with a part of a pixel (8). Charge-controlled drive leads to a more accurate adjustment than the voltage-controlled drive used until now and leads to lower drive voltages, less power consumption and a longer lifetime of the phosphors used in the display device.

Abstract: A portable system for aiding persons in ascending or descending stairways comprises either a motorized portable upper body support assembly (12) or a motorized vehicle (122) for detachably drivingly engaging elongate tracks (14; 124) associated with different stairways. The detachability of the motorized unit (12; 122) from the track, combined with its portability, enables the user to employ the same portable unit interchangeably with any stairway in any location so long as the stairway is equipped with a mating track, thereby enabling an unlimited number of stairways in private or public buildings to be adapted inexpensively for use by physically impaired persons. The portable motorized unit (12; 122) is readily able to adapt to stairways of different slopes and configurations, and to tracks (14; 124) on either the right-hand or left-hand side of the stairway, so as to maximize the versatility of the portable unit for use with virtually any track-equipped stairway.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for heat stretching a synthetic fiber rope. The rope is buoyed in a vessel containing a liquid medium, and this is heated to a predetermined stretching temperature. Tension is applied to the heated portion of the rope so as to stretch this to a predetermined increase in length. The process may be batchwise, or it may be continuous. In the batch process, a length of the rope is stretched in the heating vessel by a draw rod. In the continuous process, feed and take-up capstans pass the rope through a heating chamber, and then through a cooling chamber. The capstans are operated at different speeds so that the rope is tensioned and stretched between them within the vessel.

Abstract: Chopped fiber strands are produced by (1) wetting a continuous unsized fiber tow with a volatile agent, (2) chopping the fiber tow while still wetted with the agent in its liquid state into predetermined lengths, and (3) exposing the chopped fibers to conditions of temperature and pressure that remove the agent by volatilizing but do not cause any structural changes in the fiber. Bundles of the unsized fibers have a high bulk density and are easily dispersible in air or other media to individual filaments or groups of small numbers of individual filaments. The process is especially useful for producing high bulk density packages of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers. 
     Volatile wetting agents used are: water, alcohols, ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof.
