Abstract: The invention relates to a method for influencing the tension in a drive belt in a continuously variable transmission. According to the invention, the tensions in the drive belt are determined as a function of the speed of the drive belt. For part, parts or the entire range of the possible input speeds of the transmission, the input speed of the transmission is then increased and/or reduced to a desired speed range for the drive belt with an essentially relatively lower tension in the drive belt. The power density, the efficiency and the control range of the transmission can be improved by application of this method.

Abstract: The specification discloses an automated apparatus and method for packaging surgical needles having sutures attached thereto wherein a bundle of needles and sutures are placed at a semi-automated separation station (II) and an operator feeds the needles (26), one at a time, into a rotating needle feed wheel (98). As the feed wheel advances, the suture (28) is tensioned and directed along a pre-determined path to separate it from the remaining sutures in the bundle (95). The apparatus has a plurality of individually rotatable tool nests (4) which are sequentially spaced on a rotating or indexing turntable (1). These tool nests sequentially receive plastic packages (12) for receiving the needle and suture at a first station (I). At a second station (II), a needle is inserted into the package by robotic fingers (126) which have retrieved the needle and attached suture from the rotating needle feed wheel. The rotating needle feed wheel and the rotating tool nests are synchronized to step together as each advances At a third station (III), the package and needle are rotated to tension the suture and position the package and the suture for automatic winding of the suture into the package. At a fourth station (IV), the rotatable tool neat is rapidly rotated to wind the suture into a circumferential channel (79) in the package which surrounds the needle. The package is optically expected to ensure orientation and position of the needle, and to ensure that the suture has been wound entirely into the suture receiving channel. At the next station (VI), a cover attaching mechanism stakes cover (71) into the package using self locking tabs (72) defined between the package and the cover. The labeled package is then inspected, and off loaded at the final work station (VIII) to a tray which receives a plurality of suture packages for sterilization and final packaging.

Abstract: Installation for solid-liquid separation, in particular for the treatment of loaded water, where a frame (12) is equipped with a number of juxtaposed trays (2) containing the filters and defining collecting compartments. The trays are mechanically linked (8) so a pull exerted on either of the end trays moves them all. There are also means (4) of compressing the trays together to seal the compartments closed or open them. The loaded water is supplied to each compartment, with the water forced under pressure across the filters to leave the load inside the compartments, forming "cakes" of solid, and the filtered water is removed. The load is dried in a pressing operation which compresses the cakes and there are means (6) of separating and bringing together the trays, separating them to release the load and then bringing them together for the next cycle. The means of separating and bringing together the trays are the same as the mechanical linkage. The means (4) of compression and the means (6) of separating and bringing together are distinct and independent, the means of compression being high force over a small distance and the means of separating and bringing together being low force over a large distance. The installation also contains retractable means of pushing the trays onto the frame in opposition to the means of compression.

Abstract: A forming station used to make a substrate. The forming station has a forming chamber which deposits particles and fibers from an air carrier onto a forming screen movable relative to the forming chamber. Inside the forming chamber is at least one baffle, which creates a velocity gradient and low pressure zone for the air carrier. Different sized components of the substrate have different momentums, and thus are differently affected by the velocity gradient and low pressure zone. This difference causes the different sized components to be sorted according to size. The sorted components are then distributed according to size within the substrate.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for automatically controlling a hydraulic servo-valve with a hydraulic slide valve (1) which is displaced by a rotary actuator (12). The process involves a first loop (2, 5, 11, 12, 4) for automatically controlling the delivery as a function of the measurement of the angular position of the rotary actuator, and a second automatic control loop (1, 3, 6, 21, 22, 23, 11, 12, 4, 2) with variable control as a function of the pressure measurement. The invention is characterized in that the first automatic control loop is a proportional action loop whose increase (Kpa) is constant for values of the absolute pressure difference value (εp) which are less than at least a threshold value, then varies in an increasing manner for values of the absolute pressure difference value (εp) which are greater than this first threshold.

Abstract: The invention concerns a blow-moulded bottle inside which a connection (11) extends from one wall (13) to the other and prevents the walls (13) from bulging when the bottle is full. The risk of the bottle's being compressed so greatly when handled that fluid inside the bottle is unintentionally forced out and spilt is also counteracted. The connection (11) comprises two columnar recesses (19), the free ends (17) of the columns (15) being welded to one another. At the base of each column (15) undulations (25, 26, 27) are formed practically concentrically to the column (15), so providing a region (23) with increased flexibility. In this way, resilient deformation can occur in this region (23) if the bottle is dropped when full. The walls (13) can thus move inwards or outwards somewhat relative to the columns (15) without a great risk of cracking at the column base.
