Patent EP-0390272-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LA VOS PETER GEORGE
IPC: B65H3/12
Filed: 1990-03-26
Abstract: A device whereby sheets can be discharged one by one from the bot­tom of a stack of sheets from a holder provided with a carrier (1) and lateral supports (2, 5). The carrier (1) of the holder is sagged per­manently transversely of the direction of sheet transport. In the vicinity of the deepest part the carrier (1) is provided with at least one aperture (10) beneath at least one edge zone of a side edge of a stack of sheets to be received, in which aperture (10) a partial vacuum can be created so that the bottom sheet is sucked against the carrier. Means are also provided to blow air against the side edge of the stack, as considered with respect to the direction of sheet transport, in order to create a layer of air at least between the bot­tom sheet and the stack thereabove, said means being so disposed that the air flow is blown out over the deepest part of the carrier (1). The friction between the sheet to be discharged and the stack thereabove is thus reduced. At the instant that the layer of air forms between the bottom sheet and the stack thereabove the sheet is discharged by a transport means (16).

Date Apr. 18, 1991.A spaghetti tool has a shaft that has a grippable portion and a base portion, which is located at a first end the shaft and from which protruding elements extend. In one embodiment, the shaft forms a substantially semi-cylindrical channel into which uncooked spaghetti can be laid. Markings on the inner wall of the shaft, corresponding to the height to which the uncooked spaghetti reaches in the channel, indicate the amount of spaghetti so that the correct amount of uncooked spaghetti can be measured out to yield a desired amount of cooked spaghetti. The markings can be letters or numbers to indicate either the number of portions or a numerical quantity corresponding, for example, to spaghetti weight. In another embodiment, the protruding elements are of substantially constant length and are arranged in parallel rows and/or columns with predetermined row/column separations. Uncooked spaghetti is then measured by placing it between rows or column of protruding elements, which are marked corresponding to the amount of spaghetti that can be held between them. In both embodiments, the tool can be used to stir and grab spaghetti cooking in a pot.

Abstract: In order to crush fruit, in particular grapes, the fruit (14) is squeezed in such a way that the peel or skin (15) is made to just burst. The apparatus has two driven squeezing parts (1,2) between which the fruit is directed. One squeezing part (1,2) for the fruit (14) to be squeezed exhibits gripping sections (8,9) for the fruit peel or skin (15) and receptacles (5) for the fruit content (16) squeezed out of the fruit peel or skin (15). The fruit (14) is made to just burst by squeezing, but is not reduced to a great many particles. Thus a high yield can be achieved from the fruit (14) without impairing the end product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical element (12) has aspherical (14) and binary grating (16) optical surfaces. In the preferred embodiment, the optical element (12) is a positive meniscus optical element made of germanium having a useful spectral bandpass in the infrared wavelength region. A telescope (100) includes a first positive meniscus optical element (102), having a convex aspherical surface (104) and a concave binary grating surface (106). A first negative meniscus optical element (107) having a concave binary grating surface (108) and a concave aspherical surface (110) is employed. Next is a positive power lens (112), followed by a second negative meniscus lens (118). In the preferred embodiment, the first negative meniscus optical element (107) and the positive power lens (112) are affixed to a common housing (124), which is removable from the telescope system. Removal of the housing (124) converts the telescope (100) system from a wide-field-of-view telescope (100) to a narrow-field-of-view telescope (40).

Abstract: In the process for the optimal control of the mass transfer zone of distillation columns with the aid their characteristic diagrams, which are pressure- and heating steam-dependent, the temperature is measured at two different plates in the mass transfer zone of the column. The measured values are compared with one of the characteristic curves of the characteristic diagrams, which depict the desired values of the temperature and the distance of the points of installation of the thermometers in the column. The deviation from the desired value of the distance of the point of installation of the thermometers is utilised for the control of the steam feed and of the reflux or of the pressure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The set-open arm (1) for a wing of a window, door or the like has a sliding piece (2) of U-shaped cross-section for longitudinally displaceable reception in a wing fitting groove (4) undercut by means of transverse webs (5). The sliding piece (2) is equipped in its flange (7) with a coupling orifice (12) for the collar stud (28) of the set-open arm (1) and interacts with a fixed stop piece (3) in order to limit the tilt-open width of the wing. The end tilt-open width is fixed by an additional security device which consists of a spring-steel band (16) arranged on the flange (7) of the sliding piece (2) and having catch noses (21) and of corresponding catch bosses (32) on the stop piece (3). In order to obtain an improved degree of safety of the additional security device, especially also where small end tilt-open widths of the wing are concerned, the spring-steel band (16) is bent in a U-shaped manner from its fastening region on the flange (7) in the direction of the free end of the sliding piece (2), to form two spring tongues (20) carrying the catch noses (21). At the opposite end, the spring-steel band (16) is extended beyond the coupling orifice (12) of the sliding piece (2) and is provided with a recess (26) for preventing the collar stud (25) of the set-open arm (1) from coming loose. For this, the coupling orifice (12) in the sliding piece (2) has a widening (14), and the recess (26) of the spring-steel band (16) arranged in the region of this widening (14) has a larger cross-section than the diameter of the collar (30) of the collar stud (28) and is made closed on its circumference, whilst a bead (27) can be arranged on the edge of the recess (26). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method examines media by ultrasonic echography and involves two stages: one in which ultrasonic signals are transmitted towards the medium under test, and a second in which the echographic signals sent back to the transducers by the medium under test are received and processed. The signals are focused by applying delays which obey a suitable law and using corresponding equipment. The said reception and processing stage itself involves several stages: one in which the n signals available after being focused on reception are correlated in pairs with a view to the determination of (n-1) values for correction of the focusing delays, and then, depending on these (n-1) values, a stage in which the focusing delays are corrected during the following pulse, together with a stage, according to the invention, in which, depending on the (n-1) values, the focusing delays on reception are corrected during the same pulse.
