Patent DE-19815241-A1 (DE)
Inventor: SPANNER ERWIN
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 1998-04-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a position measuring device which is used for determining the position of two mobile parts relatively to each other in a measurement direction. Said device allows for creating an absolute reference during measurement. For this purpose, it comprises a light source and a beam splitting member which splits the radiation beam from the light source in at least one first and one second partial radiation beam. Said beams are then oriented preferably parallel to each other at the outlet of the beam splitting member. In addition, the invention provides for a reference reflector and a measuring reflector which are impacted by the two partial beams. A reference mark and a scanning unit are provided on the measuring reflector for producing a reference pulsed signal at the location of the stationary reference reflector.

Title: Food pasteurization process for baked food operates at reduced pressure to minimize energy requirement required to achieve full pasteurization
Inventor: SCHROETER MAX
IPC: A23L3/10
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: In a process to pasteurize baked food in which the packed food is placed in a pasteurization chamber in which it is heated, a reduction in pressure arising from condensation of the low pressure steam is prevented by the introduction of compressed air.  In a process to pasteurize baked food, the packed food is placed in a pasteurization chamber in which it is heated to a pre-determined temperature, at which it is maintained for a given time. It is then cooled to ambient temperature. While the pasteurization process is in progress, the chamber is maintained at a lower than ambient pressure. The pasteurization chamber is heated by low-pressure steam introduced directly into the chamber. After the chamber and food have reached the process temperature, a reduction in pressure arising from condensation of the low pressure steam is prevented by the introduction of compressed air.

Title: Wet or oil shear, clutch and brake unit for mechanical press
Inventor: BURNS BRADLEY A
IPC: F16D59/02
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: A support anchors the unit (36) to a rotatable press member. An input mechanism receives rotary motion from the press flywheel (32) and rotates relative to the support (60).

Title: Device for transferring moisture from flow of gas and/or onto flow of gas for use in fuel cell system, has rotor with multiple cells coated with an absorption substance
Inventor: WILHELM HANS-DIETER
IPC: H01M8/04119
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: A device (10) has a rotor (11) with multiple cells (12) coated with an absorption substance. The rotor rotates in a casing (13) locked in with two cover elements (14,16) having a number of openings (15,17). A cell with stored moisture is rotated further, so that a dry flow of gas is subsequently fed into the cell through a gas inlet (26) and the openings (15) in the other cover element (14). It is there that the moisture is transferred from the absorption substance onto the dry flow of gas that is then drawn off from the cell (12) through a gas outlet (27) as a moistened flow of gas.  In order to be able to dry a moist flow of gas easily and to moisten a dry flow of gas easily and to make a compromise as need arises, the moist flow of gas is fed into a cell in the rotor through a gas inlet (24) and the openings (17) in the cover element (16) where the flow of gas gives up its moisture to the absorption substance. Also, the flow of gas is drawn off through a gas outlet (25). Independent claims are included for a fuel cell system and a method for transferring moisture.
