Abstract: The invention relates to a barrier wall as is used along motorways or railway lines. It is formed from several sound-absorbing elements (4) disposed obliquely inside retention sections (1) and provided with a solid panel (5) forming the rear covering of the barrier wall. For the purpose of improving above all the acoustic absorption and insulation effectiveness, the invention is characterised in that the sound-absorbing elements (4) made from fibres bonded together are self-supporting in that at least two faces of these elements are clad with a water-impermeable and elastic rubbery layer, and in that the absorbing surface is greater than the plane surface of the barrier wall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a valve pistol, particularly for a high pressure cleaning device, with a pistol housing (1) with a handle (2), with a valve (3) placed in the pistol housing (1) that is opened against the system pressure by a force transmission element that is displaced against a valve body (9) by a hand lever (12) that is mounted so that it can be pivoted on a pivot pin (11) in the pistol housing (1). The hand lever (12) can be pivoted over a certain pivoting path and has an actuating arm (13) that engages against the force transmission element (10). In accordance with a preferred embodiment, with little construction expense, it can be achieved that the holding force required on the hand lever (12) can be made as small as possible even when the valve body is opened, in that the pivot pin (11) is mounted in the pistol housing (1) or in the hand lever in a slot (14) extending approximately in the direction of movement of the force transmission element (10) and can be shifted in this slot, so that a shifting movement is partially superposed on the pivoting movement of hand lever (12) around the pivot pin (11), that the shifting movement of hand lever (12) is derived from its pivoting movement and for this purpose an effective drive connection, particularly a wedge-like connection is provided between the hand lever (12) and the pistol housing (1) or an L-shaped part for the pressure medium, and that a drive part is mounted on the hand lever (12) at a distance from the pivot pin (11) and a stationary support part, particularly a support roller (b 17), is installed on the pistol housing (1) or on the L-shaped part (6).

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus and method for controlling the overflow of molten material from a receptacle for the purpose of achieving more uniform casting of the molten material. The apparatus and method utilize a force detector able to detect the change in the buoyant force exerted on a submersible body lowered into a molten material. A differentiating means, a control means, and a drive means are responsive to the force detector, whereby a constant rate of change of buoyant force is translated into a uniform rate of overflow of molten material delivered to a heat extracting substrate for solidification.

Abstract: The invention concerns an air blower (20) including a centrifugal fan (220) which is driven by an electric motor (210). The blower (20) has a two-part blower housing (22, 24) comprising an upper housing (22) which encloses the motor (210) beneath the motor cap (230) and a lower housing (24). The centrifugal fan (220) is disposed in the chamber between the upper and lower housings (22, 24). The plenum (54) around the fan (220) leads to an outlet (161) from the blower (20). An intake shield (120) extends across and blocks undesired entrance of objects into the inlet opening (86) in the bottom (84) of the lower housing (24). The blower (20) may be seated on a lid (180) across an opening in it. An adapter (140) in the lid (180) receives the intake shield (120) and has its own air inlet (146) to the blower (20). The orientation of the blower (120) with respect to the lid (180) is rotatable. Cooperating flanges (132, 166) on the blower and the adapter hold the blower to thelid (180) at two rotative locations and a button latch arrangement (190) (Fig. 12) latches the blower (20) at each of the two arrangements. Between the two latched orientations, the blower (20) may be lifted free of the lid (180). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a torque wrench (1, 2) having an electronic measuring device which measures a prevailing torque by means of wire strain gauges, having a memory for storing measured values, and a display device which displays minimum and maximum values attained by means of differently coloured light-emitting diodes (5, 6, 7). To be able to use the torque wrench advantageously, in particular for routine work where it is a question of maintaining a precise torque, the invention proposes that a measured value be storable by actuating an actuating button (8) also serving to activate the torque wrench (1, 2).

Abstract: Method and apparatus for production of thermal energy through electrolyte ionization of heavy water using a lithium-6 OD electrolyte, with dissolved deuterium gas in the heavy water, and pumping the ionized heavy water over a bed of palladium metal particulates (29), foils (47) or porous baffles (17) to collect both deuterium and lithium-6 ions to facilitate ion-ion combination. No electrodes are used to achieve the fusion process. The container is a closed system such as a loop (11) or helix (51) to permit continuous cycling of the ionized heavy water over the palladium ion collector again and again to absorb the maximum number of ions and to reuse the kinetic energy of the pumped water flow and the thermal energy added to the heavy water. Porous or perforated baffles are used to contain the palladium accumulator structure when it is in the form of particulates or loose components. Perforated baffles made of palladium may also be used as the accumulator structure.

Abstract: A scanning arrangement located within a scanning device which is operative for repetitively scanning indicia having parts of different light reflectivity, for example, bar code symbols, and more particularly, pertains to a novel scanning motor of the arrangement for enabling a scan element which is supported by a holder structure mounted on a mylar motor to implement angular oscillatory movements in a linear scan direction between a pair of scan end positions. Hereby, pursuant to the structure of the scanning device, the scanning arrangement is preferably mounted on a single printed circuit board located within a lightweight scanning device of a hand-held housing of gun-shaped configuration which may be readily held and manipulated by a user of the scanning device. The structure of the scanning motor and of the scanning arrangement which are mounted on a printed circuit board is considerably simplified through the construction of the various components being essentially of molded plastic material, and through the utilization of a mylar leaf spring which limits the end scan positions of a scan element or mirror which is oscillated by a read-start device including a permanent magnet mounted on an arm of the holder for the scan mirror.

Abstract: An adjustable angle foil apparatus for a paper making machine is described in which a rigid foil member (10) is pivoted by a cam actuated adjustment mechanism to change the foil angle (27). The cam actuator includes at least a rear set of cam slots (21) and cam follower pins (18) connecting a foil support member (12) to a foil mounting base member (14) to pivot support member in response to longitudinal movement thereof for adjustment of the foil angle. A rigid foil body made of foil segments (11) of ceramic or other hard, wear resistant material, are attached by tongue and groove connections (13,15) and bonding adhesive (17) to the foil support member. The cam actuated adjustment mechanism pivots such support member to adjust the foil angle without bending the foil. In one embodiment a front set of cam slots (20) and cam follower pins (16) is provided to maintain the height of the leading edge (44) of the foil substantially constant at different foil angles. In a second embodiment the ends of the pins (16,18) are connected to cam slide rods (62,64) which extend across the pins and fit into the cam slots. In a third embodiment, the front set of cam slots and pins is replaced by a pivot rod (66) attached to the front of the mounting base member about which the foil and foil support member pivot in response to the rear cam actuator adjustment of the foil angle.
