Patent EP-0898679-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WARREN JAMES
IPC: F16L19/04
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: A fluid tight flare nut union is described. Flare nut unions are convenient to install in systems, such as refrigeration systems, and are generally reliably fluid tight. Leaks can occur over time, however, due to environmental stress conditions. Deformable ferrules, in combination with compression nut assemblies, either singly, or redundantly, or in counter rotation redundant assembly, secure the flare nut to the fluid transfer tubing in a locking relationship which prevents the loosening of the flare nut-flare connection with subsequent fluid leakage due to these environmental stresses. Enclosing the complete assembly in water proof insulating material, further insures virtually leak proof operation of the improved flare nut union.

Abstract: A method for efficiently setting up a data transmission session over a communication channel between a local endpoint application and a network endpoint application with a proxy engine in a manner that is transparent to the user. The proxy engine is placed in simultaneous communication sessions with the local endpoint application and the network endpoint application. The proxy engine determines the network control protocols that are supported by both the network endpoint application and the local endpoint application. The proxy engine enables the network control protocols that are supported by both the network endpoint application and the local endpoint application. Optionally, the proxy engine enables data compression techniques that are supported by both the network endpoint application and the proxy engine. After the network control protocols and data compression techniques (if desired) are enabled, the proxy engine transmits data between the local endpoint application and the network endpoint application over the communication channel.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of controlling light and an apparatus of
controlling light capable of extracting sufficiently large and speedy optical responses from
the photoresponsive photoelement with a high reproducibility, wherein 
     The control light is emitted from the light source 1, and the signal light from the
light source 2. The control light and signal light are converged by the converging lens 7,
and illuminated to the film photoelement 8 filled in with the photoresponsive
composition. Via the collimate lens 9 and the band-pass filter 20, only the signal light is
detected with the photodetector 22. By turning the control light on and off , the
transmittance and/or refractive index of the signal light are reversibly increased or
decreased, realizing the modulation of photointencity. By setting the numerical aperture
of the collimate lens at the value essentially smaller than the numerical aperture of the
collimate lens, sufficiently large and speedy optical responses can be extracted from the
photoelement comprised of photoresponsive composition containing dye.

Abstract: A motor control system that reduces noise while reducing power requirements but providing sufficient torque. A one-phase-on drive mode modified to microstep between "one phase on" positions is used to accelerate the motor in a non-linear manner to a maximum speed. The microstep drive modes have a constant period, and the step rate of the motor is increased by decreasing the number of microsteps in succeeding steps of the motor. A modified full step waveform maintains the motor at the maximum speed, where the current to one winding of the step motor changes polarity within one motor step while the other remains approximately constant providing increased smoothness in the drive and reduced noise. The polarity changes in accordance with the inductance and the compliance voltage of the motor. A one-phase-on waveform modified to include microsteps between "one phase on" positions later decelerates the motor in a non-linear manner, and the motor stops in a detent position until another waveform of steps in delivered to the motor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods reduce transients in a redundant clock system forming part of a switch in a telecommunication network. In general, the transients, normally in the form of phase steps, are caused by reconfigurations in the clock system. Examples of reconfiguration are an inclusion or an exclusion of a redundant clock generating circuit, referred to as a plane, or an activation of a network synchronization. These transients are eliminated by successively adding an increment to a variable representative of a physical quantity in the clock generating system. In the case of an inclusion of a plane or an activation of the network synchronization, a positive increment is successively added to the gain of an amplifier. In the case of an exclusion of a plane, an increment is successively added to a phase difference representing signal.

Abstract: A scraper assembly for removing the collected solids component of a feed material from an interior wall surface of a centrifugal separator bowl comprises a supporting shaft positioned within the bowl along a vertically disposed longitudinal axis. The supporting shaft is pivotal between a stowed position and an operational position. At least two longitudinally spaced scraper blades are attached to the supporting shaft along the longitudinal axis and are adapted to contact the solids component when the support shaft is in the operational position. An upper scraper blade is angularly offset with respect to the lower scraper blade along the longitudinal axis so that any collected solids component removed by the upper scraper blade may freely drop clear of the lower scraper blade.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour fabriquer un produit fibreux. Dans ce procédé, un premier moule mâle (6) est immergé dans une suspension contenue dans un réservoir de moulage (2a). L'application d'un vide induit la formation d'une couche de fibres d'une épaisseur prédéterminée sur le moule mâle (6). Le moule mâle est ensuite sorti du réservoir de moulage (2a) et un moule femelle est appliqué avec force sur le moule mâle (6) afin d'expulser l'eau de suspension. Durant cette opération, le produit fibreux (P) est transféré sur le moule femelle (8). Un second moule mâle (10) est appliqué avec force contre le moule femelle (8), de sorte que le produit fibreux est soumis à une compression, ce qui augmente sa teneur en matières solides et confère au produit une structure externe prédéterminée, suite à quoi le produit fibreux (P) est libéré et soumis à un séchage final par des micro-ondes ou des radiations infrarouges.
