Title: Transporteur d'alimentation pour systeme de controle de pneus
Inventor: NEIFERD KEITH A
IPC: G01M17/02
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: Transporteur d'alimentation destiné à faire passer des pneus dans un système de contrôle d'uniformité de pneus, qui comporte un mécanisme de centrage de pneus et une paire de courroies transporteuses servant à acheminer des pneus dans un poste de contrôle de pneus. Un transporteur fixe doté de galets sur lesquels les pneus peuvent facilement glisser est fixé à un châssis qui supporte le mécanisme de centrage. Les courroies transporteuses passent autour de poulies respectives et sont soutenues par des rails de support fixés en porte-à-faux au mécanisme de centrage et s'étendant depuis ce dernier. Un élévateur de transporteur est levé ou abaissé par rapport au châssis de manière à lever ou à abaisser les rails de support et les courroies transporteuses de manière à ce qu'elles viennent en contact avec un pneu reposant sur le transporteur fixe ou qu'elles libèrent ledit pneu. Les rails de support et les courroies transporteuses sont réglables dans une direction latérale pour faire varier la largeur de l'espace séparant les courroies de manière à pouvoir accueillir des pneus de différentes tailles. Les courroies transporteuses sont entraînées par un actionneur pneumatique rotatif qui régule précisément la distance que les courroies doivent parcourir pour placer le pneu par rapport au poste de contrôle. Ledit transporteur d'alimentation est mécaniquement isolé du poste de contrôle si bien que des perturbations touchant le transporteur ne sont pas transmises au poste de contrôle. Le transporteur d'alimentation est mobile par rapport au poste de contrôle, si bien qu'il est possible d'inverser la direction de déplacement du pneu dans la machine de contrôle.

Title: Volant a deux masses
Inventor: YOUNG ALASTAIR JOHN
IPC: F16F15/14
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: Volant à deux masses (10) dans lequel une première (11) et une deuxième (12) masses de volant peuvent effectuer une rotation l'une par rapport à l'autre autour d'un axe (C) sous la commande d'un ou de plusieurs éléments d'accouplement (50, 31, 41) dont le centre de gravité se déplace radialement par rapport à l'axe de rotation simultanément à la rotation des masses de volant l'une par rapport à l'autre. Les charges centripètes s'exerçant sur les éléments d'accouplement (50, 31, 41) simultanément à la rotation du volant à deux masses, tendent à solliciter la première et la deuxième masses vers une position prédéterminée de rotation relative, de manière à produire un amortissement sensible à la vitesse de la rotation relative. Les éléments d'accouplement peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'une masse (50) se déplaçant le long d'une première glissière (31) associée à la première masse (11) du volant et d'une transmission de couple agissant entre la masse (50) et la deuxième masse (12) du volant sous  forme d'une deuxième glissière (41) suivie également par la masse. L'invention englobe de nombreuses autres formes d'éléments d'accouplement, dont certains mettent en application des maillons (570) à la place d'une des glissières.

Abstract: Certain derivatives of acridones and benzothiadiazines have been found to have anti-cancer properties by virtue of their specific inhibition of the cyclin D dependant kinase CDK4. These molecules inhibit CDK4 activity more than they inhibit the activity of other such kinases (e.g. CDC2 and CDK2). This specificity results in an improved therapeutic index when used as drugs to treat susceptible cancers.

Abstract: The purity of a refrigerant liquid can be maintained
to an appropriate level without being varied corresponding
to a change in the atmospheric condition and the loading
state. A portion of the refrigerant liquid in an
evaporator (1) is conveyed from the evaporator (1) to the
upper end of a rectifier (6) where it is used as a
vapor/liquid contact fluid. A temperature sensor (T6) is
provided at the upper end of the rectifier (6) for detecting
the temperature at the top of the rectifier (6) or the
temperature of the refrigerant vapor. The temperature and
the purity of the refrigerant vapor are closely related to
each other. The higher the temperature, the lower the
purity is deteriorated. When the temperature T detected by
the temperature sensor (T6) is higher than a reference
temperature level Tref, a flow control valve (V5) is
actuated to increase the flow of the refrigerant liquid to
the rectifier (6). This recovers the purity of the
refrigerant vapor, thus preventing declination of the
purity of the refrigerant vapor in the evaporator (1).

Abstract: Two sets of filter candles (5,5a), made of heat resistant material are used. The ends of the candles dip into the fluidized bed. There are nine times as many candles of type (5) then of type (5a), the difference between them being that type (5a) has larger pores so that dust particles up to a given size can pass through and into a by-pass line (8) and an external fine filter (9). In a process to remove dust from a catalytic reactor for the oxidative chlorination of ethylene, two sets of filter candles (5,5a), made of heat resistant material such as ceramic or sintered metal, are used. The ends of the candles dip into the fluid bed. There will be nine times as many candles of type (5) as of type (5a). The difference between them is that type (5a) has larger pores so that dust particles up to a given size can pass through and into a by-pass line (8) and an external fine filter (9). Preferred Features: The bypass is controlled to maintain a constantly mobile fluid bed using criteria such as bed density and heat transfer. The product is chilled outside the reactor. An independent claim is included for the reactor for carrying out ethylene oxychlorination containing apparatus for carrying out the above method.

Abstract: In a control system for a continuously variable transmission,
in view of the fact that the opening angle of the ISC valve (12)
to determine the ISC valve passing air flow amount is controlled
by the duty ratio of a control duty signal to be set in accordance
with the temperature (Tw) of an engine coolant and thus depends on the
engine coolant temperature, a throttle opening angle guard value
(THRG) to specify a throttle full-closed change gear line is set
in accordance with the engine coolant temperature (Tw). And, the
actual throttle opening angle (THRO) is compared with the throttle
opening angle guard value (THRG), and one of them which is found
larger is set as a change gear ratio calculating throttle opening
angle (THR). Further, by referring to a basic change gear
characteristic map with the thus set change gear ratio calculating
throttle opening angle (THR) and vehicle speed (V) as parameters, the
target primary pulley revolution number (NP) is set.

Abstract: For manufacturing substrate materials which are needed for the manufacture of electrical circuit carriers, methods are known in which metal layers are applied to a dielectric substrate by means of a glow discharge process and thereafter additional metal layers are applied by means of electroplating processes. These methods however are not suitable for the manufacture of substrate materials which are suitable for high frequency applications in the gigahertz range. The invention starts from the previously-mentioned methods and solves the described problem through the use of fluoropolymers and through coating of these materials by means of a glow discharge process with nickel, since by this means even very smooth surfaces of the substrate can be securely coated. The metallised materials can be coated with additional metal layers from electroless or electrolytic deposition baths.
