Inventor: JOACHIM CLIFFORD ANTHONY
IPC: F16D31/02
Filed: 1992-05-07
Abstract: Ensemble (1) de couplage hydraulique à billes comprenant un carter interne (2) et un carter externe (3) disposés l'un dans l'autre sur le même axe de rotation. Le carter interne (2) présente une piste (4) en creux sinueuse et continue sur sa face cylindrique externe (5). Le carter externe (3) présente quant à lui une série de rainures (6) dans le sens longitudinal régulièrement espacées sur sa face cylindrique interne (7). Les rainures (6) sont orientées essentiellement à la perpendiculaire de la direction générale effective de la piste (4). Un coulisseau (10) s'engage dans chaque rainure (6), à hauteur du secteur d'intersection (11) de la piste (4) et de la rainure correspondante (6), de telle sorte que la rotation relative du carter interne (2) par rapport au carter externe (3) engendre une oscillation axiale de chaque coulisseau (10) dans sa rainure (6) lorsque celui-ci traverse la piste (4). Les rainures (6) et la piste (4) renferment un liquide hydraulique d'une viscosité de nature à opposer une résistance fluide à l'oscillation des coulisseaux (10) et à permettre de ce fait la transmission du couple entre le carter interne (2) et le carter externe (3).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/01244 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 5, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 5, 1993 PCT Filed Jun. 4, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/00577 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 7, 1993.A system for measuring the "time of flight" or transfer time of a sound wave in a gas by using the relation between the gas temperature and the velocity of the sound wave in the gas, and calculating therefrom the temperature of the gas. The system comprises an emitter, which generates a sound which is coherent in phase, at one frequency or a group of frequencies; a self-correlating decoder and a receiver, which is associated with the emitter, and which sends the sound to a filter system and to an assembly controlled by a microprocessor, which processes the signal coming out of the filter system in a shape similar to a Hamming wave shape in order to determine the absolute maximum value and therefrom determine the transfer time. With this knowledge, it is easy to relate the transfer time to the distance traveled between the emitter and receiver and the known properties of the gas, in order to arrive at the temperature of the gas through which the sound has been sent.

Title: Procede et appareillage pour la mesure du debit total d'ecoulement dans des installations de ventilation

IPC: G01F1/34
Filed: 1992-06-12
Abstract: Un procédé et un appareillage pour la détermination du débit total d'écoulement dans une installation de ventilation avec un ventilateur d'aspiration libre (15), sont décrits. Le débit d'écoulement est déterminé par la mesure de la pression locale à au moins un point de mesure à proximité de l'ouverture d'entrée du ventilateur d'aspiration libre. Une sonde de mesure (20), ouverte seulement à une extrémité, est utilisée comme moyen de mesure, et orientée de façon que son axe longitudinal se trouve dans la direction de l'écoulement d'entrée. Le point de mesure (20a) est situé axialement à l'intérieur d'un plan radial externe (B), situé à une distance axiale (a) d'un plan radial interne (A). Le point de mesure est situé à côté dudit plan radial interne (A), bien que toujours dans la section la plus proche de l'entrée du ventilateur. De cette manière on obtient une bonne précision de mesure pour une grande plage de débits.

Abstract: In order to obtain a highly variable cross-sectional configuration of the hot gas flow passage (56) defined by the thrust nozzle (16) in a ducted rocket engine, which at flying speeds is intended to function in a wide range and with greatly differing nozzle pressure conditions, the thrust nozzle (16) according to the invention contains a divergent thrust nozzle extension (48), capable of travelling axially for outlet-side extension of the hot gas flow passage, which extension (48) in the run-out position is joined essentially with continuity of form to the divergent outlet end of the nozzle outer wall (42) fixed to the engine, and in the run-in state together with the said wall forms an air outlet passage of adjustable cross-section annularly enclosing the fixed nozzle wall end. In the lower flying speed range, in which the thrust nozzle extension is not required for extension of the outer contour of the hot gas flow passage, a uniform secondary air injection occurs over the entire outer circumference of the fixed nozzle end. In addition a central body (44) of mushroom-shaped design is arranged inside the thrust nozzle for defining the inside of the hot gas flow passage, which body is axially adjustable with its greatest cross-section (D) between the plane of the smallest cross-sectional area of the fixed nozzle outer wall (42) and the outlet plane (A) of the run-out nozzle extension (48). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An overhead conveyor system having trucks (1) which roll guided on rails is proposed, in which system the push-out devices (8) which are provided for removing the trucks (1) from the rails are provided with a claw (2) which brings about the pushing out, it being possible for the said push-out devices (8) to be moved into an elevated third position counter to the direction of transport (T). As a result, a truck (1) which is blocked in the region of the points (14) and cannot be removed from the rails can be passed by the push-out device (8) without the trucks (1) or the overhead conveyor system being damaged. A flap (13) is moved up laterally at the same time as the claw (2) which pivots upwards and it is possible for the said flap (13) to initiate immediately the deactivation of the conveyor system. This flap (13) which is pivoted outwards later assists the maintenance personnel in finding the points (14) at which satisfactory removal of a truck (1) from the rails is impossible. In the push-out device (8), a recess (14) is provided which is covered by a spring-loaded metal sheet (9) and the claw (2) which is attached asymmetrically in the push-out device (8) in such a way that it pivots into this recess (14) in the event of a pivoting movement is fixed in its lower position by means of the metal sheet (9). A force which acts on the claw (2) and pivots it in the anticlockwise direction causes the claw (2) to be pivoted so that the said force becomes greater than the effective force of the spring (12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid crystal display device (1) having two plates (2, 3), whose mutually facing surfaces have structured conductive layers (4, 5, 9), enclosing the liquid crystal (6). In the region of at least one edge of the device (1), the plate (2) to be contacted projects over the other plate (3). The overlap (8) so formed is bonded, with the help of an adhesive which conducts electrically exclusively perpendicular to the surface of the plates (2, 3), to a carrier means (11) which carries drive circuits (16) and has conductor tracks (12) in the adhesive region opposite the conductive layers (9). The object of developing a liquid crystal display device of this type so that the space requirement of the drive circuits (16) is as small as possible is achieved in that the drive circuits (16) are arranged on the side of the carrier means (11) facing away from the overlap (8) and opposite the carrier means (11). In a preferred embodiment, the carrier means (11) is a circuit board and the drive circuits (16) are connected to the first conductor tracks (12) via plated holes (17) in the circuit board. <IMAGE>
