Abstract: A blast valve extracts compressed gas from the cylinder and blows it back in again together with the fuel. A mixing chamber at the valve stores the gas, fuel being delivered to it. The poppet-type blast valve controls gas interchange between the combustion and mixing chambers, its seat separating the two, while the fuel is delivered into the chamber near the seat. The fuel-feed passage (15) incorporates a lengthwise drilling (22) in the stem (23) of the valve (5), and whose inlet is in the portion of the valve furthest from the seat (25). At the inlet (26) into the mixing chamber (14) is a non-return valve (27) preventing flow in the reverse direction. The inlet can be formed by one or more radial injection drillings (24) in the valve stem, and at the point of impact of the jets the chamber wall can have a bead edge breaking the jets up.

Abstract: Lateral member assembly for use in an underdrain lateral distribution system is made of plastics but is as capable as much heavier and more costly prior art metallic assemblies in supporting a bed of filter media which must be periodically backwashed with liquid and gas. Complementary elements, including a rigid extruded floor plate member having longitudinally extending side edge channels, and an overlying screen member having flange portions adapted to be retained by undercut recesses in the side edge channels, are adapted to be assembled to each other to form hollow lateral assemblies. In a preferred embodiment, the screen member is telescopically assembled to the floor plate member to cause the screen flange portions to interlock with the recesses in the side edge channels. The resulting assembly is sealed against leakage where the members are interlocked by a pair of flexible, integral plastic sealing strips which are co-extruded with the rigid floor plate member. In an alternative arrangement, the flange portions of the screen members engage a cam surface on the floor plate member which forces them away from each other as the screen member is pressed down against the floor plate member, thus causing them to snap into the undercut recesses in the side edge channels. The flange portions are then retained in a locked relationship with the floorplate member and sealed by flexible rod members forced into the space between the outside surfaces of the screen member and the outer walls of the side edge channels.

Abstract: Ultrasonic spectacles help the blind and visually disabled to better orient themselves. The direction, size, distance and space distribution of obstacles located in the field of vision up to 6 m distance are quasidigitally displayed by vibration generators mounted on the forehead or by optoelectronic signal generators. In order to accurately locate obstacles, the ultrasonic spectacles have an ultrasonic emitter in the centre of the spectacle frame and two ultrasonic receivers that work separately, have separate evaluating logics and are arranged at the left and right in the spectacle frame. The ultrasonic spectacle is designed in such a way that the sensors and vibration generators of the electronic ultrasonic system may be built into optical spectacles in order to assist vision.
