Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU94/00341 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 28, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 28, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 23, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/00789 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 5, 1995An auxiliary tap valve insertable into a fluid flow path of a tap is disclosed. The auxiliary tap valve includes a sleeve body with an auxiliary valve seat member, and an auxiliary valve member. The sleeve body has at least one constriction for restricting fluid flow through the auxiliary tap valve. The auxiliary valve member is supported within said sleeve body and operatively connectable to a main valve member of the tap to be movable between open and closed positions to open and close the auxiliary tap valve to fluid flow. The auxiliary valve member has a substantially-flat chamfered first face and a conical second face respectively facing downstream and upstream relative to fluid flow through the tap. In operation, fluid flow through said constriction is restricted to create a venturi pressure drop downstream across said auxiliary valve member. The venturi pressure and lift created by fluid flow against differential surface areas of the first and second faces collectively urge the auxiliary valve member toward the auxiliary valve seat member during fluid flow through the auxiliary valve member to reduce turbulence clatter.

Abstract: Objective: To make it impossible to change the settings on a dial-type timer except in a fixed range. Construction: Two setting rings are mounted on the perimeter of the dial in such a way that they rotate as a single entity with the said dial. Each of the rings has a single molded tooth on its outer edge. A stop protrudes from the body of the timer which is contacted by the aforementioned teeth on the setting rings mounted on the dial. When the teeth come in contact with the stop, the range of rotation of the said dial is constrained. Effects: Two setting rings are set in positions which indicate the upper and lower limits of a dial's rotation. When these rings are mounted on the perimeter of the said dial, the settings achieved by the dial can be changed only within the range between the said upper and lower limits. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tester having a fast but flexible pattern generator which is implemented using readily available memories. The tester includes a pattern memory which holds test vectors. The vectors are organized into modules. The order of execution of the modules is selected from a list stored in memory. In the preferred embodiment, memories which operate in burst mode are used to implement the pattern memory. To compensate for the decrease in data rate which occurs when execution switches between modules in the middle of a burst, the memory refresh rate is dynamically altered upon switching between modules. <MATH>

Abstract: Apparatus and method for producing gypsum board, comprising apparatus for coating a cover sheet with a relatively high density gypsum slurry, apparatus for forming edge borders on the sheet with relatively high density gypsum slurry, and apparatus for forming a core on the coating and between the edge borders, the core comprising a relatively low density gypsum. The apparatus for coating the sheet comprises a relatively soft pressure roll and a relatively hard coating roll, the two rolls being normally pressed together to form a nip between them and a sheet to be coated passing through the nip. The pressure roll is below the sheet and the coating roll, and the axis of the pressure roll is offset from the axis of the coating roll in upstream direction of the movement of the sheet. The pressure roll has a surface area which contacts and moves in the same direction as the sheet, and the coating roll has a surface area which contacts and moves in the opposite direction of the sheet. A trough is formed between the upper side of the sheet and the coating roll, and a relatively high density gypsum is poured into the trough. The rotating coating roll picks up a quantity of the slurry from the trough and wipes it onto the sheet to form a high density gypsum coating.

Abstract: The device comprises: a support (A) which is disposed so as to be longitudinally displaceable and is composed of support segments (AS) which can be inserted in one another telescopically at the joints; a delivery point (Z) for further containers which is disposed at one end of the row; a stop (AN1) for the further containers which is disposed in the longitudinal direction after the delivery point; and a displacement device (V) engaging the last support segment (AS) at the end of the row opposite the delivery point. The displacement device (V) displaces the support (A) in one direction below the further containers abutting the stop (AN1) at the delivery point and, when the support (A) is withdrawn, pulls apart in the other direction the mutually inserted support segments (AS) in order to form gaps (L) between the prepared containers (B). The device is suitable in particular for preparing empty containers for sorting post. When the filled sorting containers are removed from the post-sorting device, they can rapidly be replaced by one of the prepared empty containers (B), the removal of the empty container (B) from the row being considerably facilitated by the gaps (L).
