Patent EP-0607678-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FARRINGTON ERIC K
IPC: D06F37/22
Filed: 1993-12-13
Abstract: A dynamic balancer for a laundry apparatus having a rotatable drum (40) for receiving a clothes load. The rotatable drum has a horizontal geometric axis and is rotatably supported to rotate about its horizontal geometric axis. The rotatable drum includes a generally cylindrical outer wall (46) defining the horizontal geometric axis, a first disk (44) and a second disk (48). The first disk is provided for forming a first end wall of the drum and includes a balancing means including a plurality of concentric annular chambers (50). The second disk is provided for forming a second end wall of the drum, opposite the first end wall, and also includes a balancing means including a plurality of concentric annular chambers. The annular concentric chambers are partially filled with fluid for balancing the rotatable drum. In operation, the rotatable drum is subject to an out-of-balance mass as a result of uneven distribution of the clothes load within the drum. The out-of-balance mass creates a spinning axis distinct from the horizontal geometric axis causing vibration during rotation. The balancing of this vibration occurs as the fluid within the chambers (50), under the influence of centrifugal forces occurring during unbalanced rotation, is distributed within the chambers opposite the out-of-balance mass thereby correcting for the out-of-balance mass such that the geometric horizontal axis and the spinning axis are substantially coincident.

Abstract: A description is given of a process for the preparation of tertiary alkyl ethers, in particular of tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), which comprises:   - a reaction zone in which the charge, consisting of a mixture of C5 hydrocarbons, including reactive isopentenes, is reacted with an aliphatic monoalcohol in excess, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol or isopropanol; - a fractionation zone in which there is collected, at the bottom, the corresponding pure tertiary alkyl ether, the head effluent after condensation being divided into a liquid reflux and a distillate, the said process being characterised in that a finishing reactor is installed on the reflux, or on the reflux effluent + distillate before their division, or alternatively two finishing reactors are installed, one on the reflux, the other on the distillate, with the possibility of injection of aliphatic monoalcohol upstream of each finishing reactor. The advantage of the process is that it makes it possible to increase the conversion of the isopentenes and the pure tertiary alkyl ether yield at the bottom of the fractionation zone. This process is also applicable to mixtures of C4, C6 and C7 hydrocarbons, which can react in excess with the abovementioned aliphatic monoalcohols to form the corresponding tertiary alkyl ethers.

Abstract: The invention relates to the linear power amplification, in a single path, of a composite signal (Ve) formed from two independent signals.   In a single path formed by corrective means, followed by a linear preamplifier, followed by a saturated amplifier, the filtering and symmetry effect produced, both in the corrective means and in the amplifier, is harnessed in order to compensate for the clipping due to the amplifier; this makes it possible to obtain undistorted output signals whose amplitude exceeds the saturation level of the amplifier. The compensation requires the transfer characteristic of the corrective means (C1) to have a given slope between two points beyond which saturation appears in the amplifier and a slope substantially triple the given slope on either side of these two points. Application, in particular, to television. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to electronic assemblies formed by two cards (3, 4) of the printed circuit type, coupled electrically (5) and mechanically (6), with a single plug (7) for connecting them. In order to facilitate the installation of these assemblies between two pairs of grooves (R1-R2, R'1-R2'), the means (5) for assembling the two cards include adjusting elements (51-54) for setting the distance between the two cards to two separate values: one for insertion into the grooves and the other for a locking effect between the grooves. To this end, bars traversed by a screw (51-54) can be used, which, by screwing, make it possible to bring two outer segments (52a, 52c) of the bar to overlap an inner segment (52b) of the bar; the screwing is performed after the electronic assembly has been inserted into the grooves so as to cause locking of the cards against the sides of the grooves. Application to electronic assemblies formed by two cards. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Selon ce procédé, on injecte un fluide sous pression afin de former une partie creuse dans la résine en fusion à l'intérieur de la cavité d'un moule. L'invention vise à éliminer le refoulement de la résine en fusion dans un conduit de fluide sous pression, et permet d'effectuer une injection fiable du fluide sous pression, ainsi qu'une décharge rapide de ce même fluide. Un espace ménagé entre un manchon tubulaire et un noyau d'arbre introduit dans ce manchon constitue un conduit de fluide sous pression, et l'extrémité avant du noyau d'arbre peut se prolonger jusque dans un moule depuis le manchon. En utilisant la surface périphérique externe du prolongement du noyau d'arbre comme surface de guidage en faisant coulisser le noyau d'arbre on fait passer une ouverture du conduit de fluide sous pression du côté du moule d'un état rétréci dans lequel le fluide sous pression peut la traverser mais non pas la résine en fusion, à un état élargi. On fait coulisser le noyau d'arbre pour modifier la largeur de l'ouverture du conduit de fluide sous pression du côté du moule, afin d'empêcher le refoulement de la résine en fusion, de décharger rapidement le fluide sous pression et d'effectuer une injection fiable du fluide sous pression à l'aide de la surface de guidage.
