Patent EP-0623551-A1 (EP)
Inventor: POPKEN HERMANN
IPC: B67D7/34
Filed: 1994-04-23
Abstract: The invention specifies a system for avoiding erroneous coupling of supply hoses, connected to discharge stubs (6, 7, 14, 15, 16) on a tanker, of a stationary receiving tank, in the case of which system provision is made for control lines which are assigned to the supply hoses, and it is possible to activate the discharge stubs selectively by means of a selector switch (2). According to the invention, each discharge stub is assigned a switch (12, 13, 20, 21, 22) which, upon actuation of a valve (10, 11, 23, 24, 25) which is activated by the selector switch (2), switches over said discharge stub. The control lines of each supply hose connected to a discharge stub are each led to the switches assigned to the rest of the connection stubs and, from there, to the control unit, said control unit (1) emitting a switching signal to the selector switch (2) as soon as a switch, assigned to a discharge stub and via which the control signal is sent, carries out a switching-over operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The reader has light emitted from the end (18) of an optical waveguide (11) directed at the patterned original (3) on a rotary drum (1) by two achromatic lenses (19, 20) on the optical axis (17) of the reading head (5). The reflections from the original into a set of return light guides (12) are transmitted collectively through the cable (13) to a processor which converts the colours of the reflected light into electrical signals. The light guide end is movable along the axis by rotation of a shifter (22) with an external thread and a screw cap (23) around the light source holder (15). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method for the production of a helically or annularly corrugated metal tube (10), a metal strip (2) is drawn from a supply coil (1) and formed to give a slotted tube which is longitudinally seam welded, whereupon a helical or annular corrugation is imparted to the welded tube by means of an annular corrugating tool (9) revolving eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube. During this process, a slotted tube with a ratio of the external diameter D to the wall thickness s of over 100 is formed, the slotted tube is welded with a laser or by means of pulsed TIG welding and the corrugation is produced with a ratio of corrugating pitch T or corrugation spacing Tp to corrugating depth t of less than 3.75. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and device are used for processing treetrunks (50) into wood products. The device comprises a circular saw (40) which has a spatially fixed deflecting element (44) parallel to a circular saw blade (41). The deflecting element (44) extends into the engagement region of teeth (42) of the circular saw blade (41). As side boards (side cuts) (51) are cut off, the deflecting element diverts these out of the plane of the teeth (42) from a main stock (52) of the treetrunk (50) directly after the passing of the teeth (42). The device further comprises first means for removing a wane (53) of the treetrunk (50), as well as second means for trimming the side boards (51) to predetermined lengths. The first means are constructed as edging-chipper assembly (60 to 63) and are arranged, in the conveying direction (54) of the treetrunk (50), directly downstream of the circular sawblade (40) but upstream of the second means. <IMAGE>

The first magnetic layer is a horizontal magnetization layer at room temperature but a perpendicular magnetization layer at a raised temperature. A transition temperature of the first layer continuously or stepwise increases from a light incidence side thereof light in a film thickness direction. The second magnetic layer is a perpendicular magnetization layer both at room temperature and at the raised temperature. In reproduction of information, an optical beam is applied onto the magneto-optical recording medium in which information is recorded by directions of magnetization. The information recorded in the second magnetic layer is transferred to the first magnetic layer and the information is read by the magneto-optical effect.

Abstract: A problem in connection with fluid operated solar collector systems is in a simple and non-expensive way to be able to separate the circulatory system of the solar collector from a fluid based energy storage system without any considerable part of the supplied energy being lost. This problem is solved by a heat exchanger (2, 2a, 2b) according to the invention which is provided between the systems. This includes at least two concentric layers (12-15) of helically wound tubes (12a-15e) in a space that is surrounded by mainly cylindric surfaces (10-11). A method according to the invention for transfer of heat between a first fluid that circulates through a tube system (2, 2a, 2b) and a second fluid that surrounds the tube system consists in that the first fluid is pumped through the tube system containing capillary tubes so that the pressure drop across the tube system is at least 100 times larger than the pressure drop across the tube system in the second fluid which is self-circulating.

Abstract: Process for the detection of the disabling tone of the echo canceller in a telephone switching exchange, wherein such tone is set up by a sinusoidal signal with constant amplitude and frequency and with periodical phase reversal of 180 DEG . The sampled and digitized input signal x(n) is filtered in a digital band-pass filter (BP) and in a Hilbert transformer (HT) with filtering characteristics analogous to those of the band-pass filter (BP) and subsampled. In this way the two components of a complex signal r(m) are obtained from which the estimate of the value of a possible phase  shift is made using the values assumed by such complex signal r(m) in at least three subsequent sampling times.
