Title: An apparatus for launching balls for sports practice
Inventor: BENETTI ALFREDO
IPC: F16K31/42
Filed: 2003-12-30
Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: An apparatus for launching balls for sports practice. A tank for pressurised gaseous fluid is connected by an exhaust duct to a launch tube dimensioned to correspond to a ball to be launched, and having a ball positioning seat. A rapid opening device effects discharge of fluid from the tank to the launch tube through the exhaust duct, to launch the ball.  Throttling means mounted in the exhaust duct determine the transfer of the fluid from the tank to the launch tube. Means for varying the position of the ball seat can be operatively associated to the throttling means to vary the position of the seat corresponding to transfer of fluid from the tank to the launch tube and vice versa, according to a pre-determined relationship. The apparatus provides for repetitive launching and adjustable launch velocities, and is applicable to balls of different weights and diameters of balls.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un masque respiratoire qui assure une meilleure étanchéité grâce à l'utilisation d'un embout intrabuccal à large surface d'étanchéité. Un prolongement tubulaire, formé à une extrémité de façon à recevoir les embouts respiratoires standards, constitue le conduit d'amenée de l'air jusqu'à l'embout intrabuccal. Ce masque respiratoire peut également comprendre un passage d'air oropharyngé intrabuccal qui fléchit de façon à pouvoir être inséré sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'effectuer une rotation ou d'utiliser une lame abaisse-langue. Ce masque respiratoire peut également comporter un écran externe qui améliore l'étanchéité et forme une barrière de protection pour le personnel soignant. La conception de ce masque applique une nouvelle technique de prise manuelle qui permet à une seule personne soignante d'effectuer une ventilation avec une meilleure étanchéité.

Abstract: A four-cycle, four-cylinder, premlxed charge compression ignition internal combustion reciprocating free piston engine with a variable piston stroke and a compression ratio that varies as needed to provide charge ignition, to offer the potential of higher efficiency, lower emissions, and multi-fuel operation. The engine does not have a crankshaft, and therefore does not provide direct rotary output. Instead its free pistons (23) oscillate, in a manner similar to a two cycle free piston engine. For many applications, such as piston pumps and compressors, the engine provides an output directly driven by the oscillating pistons. In other applications, such as but not limited to use as a gas generator (2001) for a power turbine (1603), the engine provides an indirect means of producing rotary power. When the engine is used with high-speed power turbines, the power turbine (1603) may be directly coupled to a high-speed alternator (1604) for electrical power output.
