Patent EP-0580448-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUNCAN JEFFREY B
IPC: B65H23/028
Filed: 1993-07-23
Abstract: A tentering machine (10) including two conveyor tracks (30) between which a fabric (20) is conveyed, its opposite edges being grasped by fabric edge holders (32) slidingly mounted thereon and driven around each conveyor track at a substantially common speed by drive chains (50). Elongated, spring-like compliant drive links (52) extend from the drive chains to act upon the fabric edge holders (32), without being connected thereto. The compliant drive links (52) allow adjacent edge holders to move relative to one another, permitting a considerable rate of stretch without the distortion or bowing of the fabric observed in prior-art tentering machines. The force exerted by the drive links (52) may be varied by adjusting the position of the drive chain (50) relative to the conveyor track (30) by means of chain positioning means (106).

Abstract: A rotary head type magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing an analog wide-band video signal, audio signal and compressed digital signal on the same recording medium. The modulated analog wide-band video signal or the narrow-band-converted compressed digital signal is recorded on two video tracks adjacent to each other on a magnetic tape (301) by magnetic heads (301a, 301b and 302a, 302b) on a rotary drum (300). In another arrangement in which the audio signals multiplexed in frequency are recorded on the audio track adjacent to the video tracks on the magnetic tape (310) by the magnetic heads (303a, 303b) and the decision circuit (264), by utilizing the signal reproduced from the audio track, determines whether the signal recorded on the video tracks is analog or digital, the input analog wide-band video signal is divided into signals of two channels by the recording-system analog signal processing circuit (57), those signals are recorded on the magnetic tape (60) in multi-track recording by a pair of magnetic heads (62a, 62b) and another pair of magnetic heads (62, 62d), the input audio signals are modulated by the FM modulator (15) and the QPSK modulator (16), and recorded in a deep-layer portion of another track between the video tracks. A compressed digital digital signal received by the antenna (1) is added with error correction codes by the recording-system digital signal processing circuit (5), and is modulated by the 16QAM modulator (6) so that the spectral components of the compressed digital signal does not enter the audio signal frequency band, and is recorded on said audio track superposed but in a deeper-layer portion of the tape by yet another pair of magnetic heads (64a, 64b).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing refrigerant of one type for contamination by refrigerant of another type as would be the case if an air conditioning or refrigeration system charged with a non-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant received a replenishment charge of a chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant. A sample of the suspected refrigerant mix is exposed to a reagent that will decompose the contaminant refrigerant but not the refrigerant that is proper for the system. The sample is then tested for a product of the decomposition. If the product is present, then one can conclude that the contaminant refrigerant is present.

Abstract: A computer storage management system (10) responds to a recognition of an insufficiency of disk storage space available (25,67,55) by converting inefficiently used storage space (60) to efficiently used space and free space (65). The management system controls allocation of storage space to storage space consumers pursuant to an allocation ordering scheme (40) which ensures fairness of storage space consumption (45) among competing consumers (20). Generation of free storage space and allocation of space are substantially concurrent events, creating a continuous flow of space generation and space consumption. Storage space is consistently kept and used in an efficient manner, and competing processes are allocated storage space fairly and effectively.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for starting an electric motor. The motor comprises an encoder having a discate member (18) which rotates with a rotor. The encoder has angularly evenly spaced leading edges but angularly unevenly spaced trailing edges. A code sequence based on the unevenly spaced trailing edges is detected by a sensor (16) which sequence is decodable to derive information on the position of the rotor relative to the motor stator. To start the motor selected stator poles are energised to orientate the rotor into a predetermined position. The encoder then monitors the rotor position. The induced sensor output signal then allows the position of the rotor to be confirmed or corrected and, thereafter, normal running of the motor to be effected.

Abstract: A transmission provides variable outer diameter pulleys and the construction of the variable outer diameter pulley is compact and simple. 
     A transmission includes a pair of variable outer diameter pulleys (100) and a belt (20) for transmitting power between the pair of variable outer diameter pulleys (100). The variable outer diameter pulley (100) provides sealing parts (9) with diaphragms (9A) inside a pipe (1) having four penetrating holes (12) radially in its cylindrical wall corresponding to each one of the penetrating holes (12). Each one of four sliders (10) forming a pulley peripheral face fits into each penetrating hole (12) to be able to slide smoothly. Each slider (10) is moved by diaphragms (9A) in a direction which the pulley outer diameter expands by compressed air supplied through a fluid supply passage of a rotary axle. Exhausting the compressed air causes the pulley outer diameter to decrease and restores the pulley to its original size by a tension coil spring around the pulley periphery.
