Title: Buchsenteil für eine pneumatische Entlüftungskupplung
Inventor: SEIFERT JUERGEN
IPC: F16L37/22
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: Eine Entlüftungskupplung (1) weist einen Grundkörper
(2) auf in dem zwei Schrägschlitze (36) enthalten sind, die
einen Kanal (18) im Grundkörper anschneiden. Die Schrägschlitze
(36) dienen der Aufnahme von zylindrischen Verriegelungsstiften
die endseitig über den Grundkörper (2) überstehen.
Symmetrisch zwischen den Schrägschlitzen (36) verteilt
sind zwei Langlöcher (38) in denen sich Haltekugeln
befinden. Die Langlöcher (38) führen ausgehend von dem Mündungsbereich
der Schrägschlitze (36) im Kanal (18) zum vorderen
Ende des Grundkörpers (2). 
     Die Verriegelungsstifte werden mit Hilfe eines Druckrings
(8) und einer Feder die sich an einem hinteren Widerlager
des Grundkörpers (2) abstützt in die nach vorne geschobenen
Stellung gedrückt, in der sie tangential durch
das Lichtraumprofil des Kanals (18) verlaufen. 
     Die radiale Bewegung der Haltekugeln wird durch vordere
und hintere Stützflächen (48,51) gesteuert, die unterschiedlichen
Abstand von der Längsachse des Grundkörpers
(2) haben. Zwischen den beiden Stützflächen (48,51) erstreckt
sich eine Schrägfläche (52) wodurch es möglich ist,
einen großen radialen Hub der Haltekugeln beim Übergang von
einer Stützfläche (48,51) auf die andere Stützfläche
(48,51) zu erreichen. Der große radiale Hub macht zusätzliche
Relativbewegungen zwischen den Stützflächen (48,51) und
damit eine Bewegung der Betätigungshülse (6) beim Einstecken
des Steckers überflüssig.

Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus, and computer programs for self-generating device names for communications devices using processes running on the device. The device names are then used to enable the devices to be identified during network communications. This avoids the configuration overhead inherent in requiring unique device names to be allocated by a central naming authority. Uniqueness of device names is achieved by a class-based naming convention in which class names are associated with device types and unique device identifiers are allocated for devices within a class. The device identifiers of one class may have a very different format from device identifiers in other classes, and processes are provided for interpreting the different formats of device identifier to identify individual devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for repairing a turbine nozzle segment having at least two vanes
disposed between outer and inner bands (14,16) includes separating the
outer and inner bands (14,16) from the vanes, and forming one slot (36) for
each vane through the outer band (14) and one slot for each vane through
the inner band (16). A newly manufactured replacement vane (38) is

Abstract: A cooling mechanism for a brake assembly (10) is provided. The brake assembly
includes a brake rotor (12) with opposing outer surfaces (14). Brake pads (16) having a
lining (18) are arranged adjacent to the opposing outer surfaces as is well known. An
actuator (20), typically a hydraulic piston, forces the linings into engagement with the outer
surface to slow the vehicle thereby generating a significant amount of heat at the
rotor/brake pad interface. Inadequate cooling of the brakes occurs because of the tight
packaging of the brake components and limited airflow. To better dissipate the heat the
brake pad lining includes a cermet matrix, which has a high thermal conductivity. By
utilizing a cermet in the brake pad lining, as opposed to conventional compositions,
substantially more heat may be extracted at the rotor/brake pad interface thereby improving
brake performance.

Abstract: A new synchronous Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) servo is provided for a high track-per-inch disk-drive system. To increase the data capacity in hard disk drives (HDD), one can shorten the servo format and/or increase the track density. The new servo system has circuits that allow a high-performance and accurate system for positioning the read-write heads. The major circuits include burst demodulation, Viterbi detection, timing synchronization, and spin-up search. A highly linear discrete-fourier-transform (DFT) burst-demodulation circuit can demodulate high-density and low-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) position bursts. The Viterbi detection circuit includes a sync-mark detector and a Viterbi detector that are matched to at least two sets of Gray code ( e.g., 1/4 rate and 4/12 rate) and pruned accordingly. The timing synchronization circuit includes phase restart and interpolating timing recovery (ITR) circuits to implement a fully digital timing recovery. The spin-up search circuit may include a robust multistage search circuit that detects a preamble and/or a DC field to search for an initial servo sector with a low error rate during spin up. In one example, the servo system samples each dibit 4 times throughout the entire servo sector uses PR4 equalization. The relatively low number of samples required for the system allows the servo format density to be near the channel bandwidth while increasing the SNR performance.
