Abstract: A mechanical lock (104) for an airplane engine thrust reverser is connected to an actuator (54) for the thrust sleeve (28). The mechanical lock (104) includes an electrically operated solenoid (124) which moves a locking pin (120) between an unlocked position and a locked position. When the pin (120) is in the locked position, it engages a toothed wheel (114) which is mounted about a shaft (110) which engages a drive gear (90) for the thrust reverser actuator (54). In this manner, movement of the thrust reverser sleeve (28) is prevented until commanded operation of the thrust reverser whereby the locking pin (120) is moved to the unlocked position.

Abstract: The low noise system requires a pulse-controlled inverter with switching impulses generated by carrier modulation or rotating vector modulation. These are used to control the inverter switching elements, which generate the pulse pattern of the output voltage used to supply power to an electrical machine. The required pulse pattern is calculated as a mathematical function, in which the carrier modulation pulse frequency is sinusoidally varied to minimise or eliminate those overshoots which are disturbing to the human ear. Since the frequency of the fundamental component of the output voltage is independent of the modulation parameters, these can be varied without affecting operation of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vibration-proof power take-out device for an engine includes resilient support means 3 through which the engine is carried on a support 1, and a displacement absorbing joint 5 for connecting an output shaft 2a of the engine to a power take-out member 61, 62. The displacement absorbing joint 5 comprises a first joint member 13 for connection to the output shaft 1, a second joint member 14 for connection to the power take-out member 61, 62, and a resilient member 16, 17 for resiliently interconnecting both the joint members 13, 14. The second joint member 14 is rotatably carried on the support 1 through a bearing means 23. Thus, even if the power take-out member 61, 62 is disposed near the output shaft 2a, engine vibration can be absorbed by the resilient support means 3 and the resilient member 16, 17, and the second joint member 14 can be fixedly supported by the bearing 23, thereby effectively preventing the transmission of vibration to the power take-out member 61, 62. The first joint member 13 includes a first hub 13h having first transmitting fins 13f mounted projecting radially outwardly therefrom, and the second joint member 14 includes a second hub 14h concentrically surrounding the first hub 13h and having second transmitting fins 14f projecting radially outwardly therefrom. An intermediate member 15 has a plurality of intermediate fins 15f opposed to the first and second fins 13f, 14f in a rotational direction. Opposed surfaces of the intermediate fins 15f and the first and second fins 13f, 14f are interconnected through the resilient member 16, 17. Notches 18, through which the first transmitting fins 13f are passed, are provided in the second hub 14h, and a gap is provided between opposed portions of each notch 18 and the respective first fin 13f and can be eliminated when the angle of relative rotation reaches a given value. Thus, both the joint members 13, 14 and the intermediate fins 15f are disposed concentrically, and the entire joint can be made compact. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The rotor of a rotary position sensor mounts directly upon the rotary shaft to be sensed. The rotor prior to installation is retained in position by a pair of small protrusions extending from the rotor that cooperatively engage a pair of small indentations formed in a pair of supporting arms. During the installation process, the rotor is slipped onto the shaft and the protrusions are released from the engaged position. During operation of the position sensor, the rotor is free from direct contact with either the supporting arms or any other stationary part of the position sensor. Only the contactors engage the stationary components. This design eliminates the need for bearings and return springs prevalent in the prior art. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An economically viable method for producing sugars using concentrated acid hydrolysis of biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose is disclosed. The cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass are first decrystallized and then hydrolyzed to produce a hydrolysate containing both sugars and acid. Silica present in the biomass can then be removed for further processing. The remaining solids are then subjected to a second decrystallization and hydrolyzation to optimize the sugar yields. An improved method for separating the sugars from the acid in the hydrolysate is also disclosed. The resulting sugar stream can then be fermented, using an improved method which allows both hexose and pentose sugars to be fermented simultaneously.

Abstract: Molecules comprise (i) a polypeptide (such as calmodulin) which has calcium-dependent binding affinity for ligand and (ii) another polypeptide, the polypeptides preferably being joined by a peptide bond and produced by recombinant expression from a gene fusion. The molecules are useful in detection, immobilisation, targeting and purification, cell-labelling, and band-shift assays for determining binding of a member of a specific binding pair (sbp) for complementary sbp member. For purposes of band-shift assays, polypeptide (i) need not have calcium-dependent binding affinity for a ligand, but should have a dissociation constant for a ligand of 10nM or less, measured at a pH of between 6 and 9 at 20  DEG C. In an alternative embodiment, a calmodulin-binding polypeptide which is, or is derived from, mastoparan is joined, as polypeptide (i) instead of a binding polypeptide, to the other polypeptide.

Abstract: In the inventive method and apparatus for calendering a surface of a paper or board web, a temperature difference is created between the web surfaces so that the surface to be calendered is cooler than the opposite surface. In addition, moisture within the web is transferred using the so-called heat pipe effect toward the cooler surface while substantially preventing evaporation of moisture from the web so as to create a predetermined moisture profile transversely through the web and decrease the glass transition temperature of the web at the relatively cooler surface to be calendered. Finally, the web having the predetermined moisture profile is advanced into the calendering nip so that the relatively cooler and moister surface of the web is pressed against the heated roll of the nip to thereby calender that web surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for reducing the pressure in a volatile organic chemical (VOC) tank ullage (11) whilst minimising emissions of VOC vapours into the atmosphere. The apparatus comprises a separation module (44) having an inlet (48) for receiving vapours from the tank, an outlet (42) connected to vent pipe (21) for depleted/retentate and an outlet (46) for permeate separated from inlet (48) and outlet (42) by a membrane (18) permeable to VOC's. A pump (19) draws VOC's through the membrane whilst a vapour extractor (17) causes vapour from the ullage (11) to flow across the membrane (18). The flow of vapour across the membrane is controlled by controller (45) in dependance, at least in part, on the pressure sensed in the underground tank by sensor (23), and the concentration of VOC's in vent pipe (21) detected by VOC detector (24). The vapour flow is controlled such as to act to minimise emissions by maximising residence time in proximity to the membrane (18).
