Abstract: The system comprises, for example, an electric shaver (1) and a cartridge (2) mounted in a chamber (12) of the shaver (1). The shaver (1) comprises a shaving head (3) having drivable cutters (31) and an electric motor (11) for driving the cutters (31) via a coupling pin (14). The cartridge (2) comprises a reservoir (25) for holding an auxiliary fluid. This auxiliary fluid may, for example, serve to reduce the friction between the shaving head (3) and the skin of a user. The cartridge (2) has an outlet channel (22) and a diaphragm pump (23) for feeding the auxiliary fluid from the reservoir (21) to the outlet channel (22). For the actuation of the diaphragm pump (23) the shaver (1) comprises a button (15) and a lever (17) which is pivotable about a pivot (18). When the button (15) is pressed the diaphragm pump (23) is actuated and a small amount of the auxiliary fluid is applied to the skin of a user via an outlet opening (32). The cartridge (2) has a key (50) which cooperates with a blocking device (60), which is adapted to block the lever (17) by means of pins. The key (50) has projections for positioning the pins of the blocking device (60). In the absence of the correct key the lever (17) is blocked and thus prevents the auxiliary fluid in the cartridge from being pumped to the outlet opening (32).

Abstract: The present invention concerns high efficiency reverse flow cyclones - with a tangential entry of essentially rectangular section, sides a and b, the first parallel to the cyclone axis; a body of height H, with an upper cylindrical section of diameter D and height h and a lower inverted cone with smaller base of diameter Db: and a cylindrical vortex finder of diameter De and length s - which may be used in laboratory or industrial conditions, whenever dedusting is needed. The inventor could obtain an empirical correlation to estimate particle turbulent diffusivities under cyclone flow, through the use of a finite diffusivity theory which was adjusted to laboratory, pilot-scale and industrial grade efficiency curves. This correlation allows the design of reverse-flow cyclones of arbitrary geometry, as a function of particle size distribution and operating conditions. A computer program was made to obtain optimum designed reverse-flow cyclones, and two geometries have been obtained, which respectively maximise collection efficiency and one ratio efficiency/costs. The proposed geometries, defined as ratios of the above mentioned dimensions to the cyclone inside diameter, differ from all geometries available in the literature, both being significantly more efficient. For flow rates typical of industrial multicyclones, the emissions should be 30-45% lower for the first family and 20-35% for the second, as compared with emissions from high efficiency cyclones available. Laboratory-scale tests with a similar geometry have confirmed the expected emissions reductions, at similar levels of pressure drop. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for using a computer system to determine the desired decoupling components for stabilizing the electrical impedance in the power distribution system of an electrical interconnecting apparatus, including a method for measuring the ESR for an electrical device, a method for determining a number of desired decoupling components for a power distribution system, and a method for placing the desired decoupling components in the power distribution system. The method creates a model of the power distribution system based upon an MxN grid for both the power plane and the ground plane. The model receives input from a user and from a database of various characteristics for a plurality of decoupling components. The method determines a target impedance over a desired frequency range. The method selects decoupling components. The method determines a number for each of the decoupling components chosen. The method places current sources in the model at spatial locations corresponding to physical locations of active components. The method optionally also places a power supply in the model. The method selects specific locations in the model to calculate transfer impedance values as a function of frequency. The method effectuates the model to determine the transfer impedance values as the function of frequency at the specific locations previously chosen. The method then compares the transfer impedance values as the function of frequency at the specific locations to the target impedance for the power distribution system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an armature arrangement (10) which can be mounted in bores of a door which horizontally meet, a window or the like and which has handles (20) which are non-rotatably linked to a rotor (40). A two-armed catch (50) acts upon a rotor bridge (45). Said catch can be swiveled in opposite direction to the movement of the rotor (40) to actuate a spring-biased latch (15). Said rotor is operated by a recuperator spring and is mounted in an axially stable manner in a housing (30). The driving connection between the rotor (40) and the catch (50) can be optionally established or disestablished by means of a coupling device (200). The coupling device is actuated by a handle (olive turning handle 207, 208) which can be engaged with the rotor (40). A short catch-arm (54) effects coupling or decoupling by means of a driving pin (201) which can be lifted and lowered in relation to the rotor bridge (45) by turning wings (216) of each coupling half (202). The two coupling halves (202) are connected via a rod (206) in a non-rotatable but axially releasable manner. Said rod can be displaced on a 90 DEG  curve within the rotor (40) which guides the driving pin (201) in aligned slots (210) in a radially movable manner. A handle core (217) can be axially engaged with a recess (222) of a coupling half (202).
