Title: Web cleaning apparatus.
Inventor: WHITNEY ROGER ARTHUR
IPC: B65H7/00
Filed: 1991-02-11
Abstract: In known non-contact web cleaners, clean air at high velocity is passed over the surface of the web to remove debris. However, these web cleaners can only remove particles down to a certain size due to the boundary layer produced over the surface of the web by the high velocity air stream. Electrostatic charges are also used to neutralise the charge which may be attracting the debris or dirt to the surface of the web. Electrostatic cleaning is only effective at low web speeds. Described herein is a method and apparatus which produces alternating electrostatic forces to separate particles from the surface of the web in the region of the boundary layer. The apparatus utilises an electrode (18) to produce a corona discharge in a gap (20) formed between the electrode (18) itself and the surface of the web (10) being treated. An air supply arrangement (22) is provided to supply air to and remove air from the gap (20) to remove the particles which have been lifted from the surface of the web (10) due to the corona discharge.

IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1992-02-20
Abstract: Insures data integrity in a data processing system by providing an ownership interlock on the data units in a pipeline to a store-in type of cache. An ownership interlock prevents any processor ownership change to occur (i.e. exclusive or readonly ownership) for a cache data unit until all outstanding stores have been made in the cache data unit, after which the ownership may be changed. An ownership change may be signalled by a cross-invalidate (XI) signal to a processor. Outstanding stores are received by the pipeline after the stores are completed by a processor, and the outstanding stores output from the pipeline into a store-in cache. A continuous flow of stores is enabled into and out of the pipeline to expedite a change of ownership requested of a data unit in the cache. The continuous flow avoids having to stop a processor from putting stores into the pipeline and avoids forcing all outstanding stores out of the pipeline into the cache before indicating a change of processor ownership.

Abstract: A glass soot deposit is produced at a high deposition rate by blowing a gaseous glass-forming raw material together with a fuel gas from a combustion burner in a closed muffle tube, hydrolyzing the glass-forming raw material in a flame to generate glass soot, and depositing the glass soot on a tip end or a peripheral surface of a starting member which is rotated to form a glass soot deposit . 
     The lowest surface temperature of the muffle tube is maintained at 50°C or higher and an average surface temperature of the muffle tube is maintained in a range between 50°C and 150°C, whereby corrosion of the muffle tube is prevented.

Title: Trim strip for panel edges
Inventor: BOROWSKY RALF
IPC: A47B95/04
Filed: 1992-11-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a trim strip for panel edges with a corner part which runs at least over the height of the panel edge. Formed in one piece on the inner surface of this cover part is at least one longitudinally running harpoon web. Via this harpoon web, the trim strip can be inserted into a receiving groove introduced continuously into the panel edge. In the region of the panel radii, the harpoon web is in this case provided with cutouts which increase the flexibility of the trim strip. The invention is seen in that the regions of the harpoon web (31, 32, 33) remaining between the cutouts (21, 22, 23) have trapezoidal shape. The individual trapezia (31, 32, 33) are in this case interconnected via in each case one connecting bridge (St) which remains on the base of the cutout (21, 22, 23). The cutouts (21, 22, 23) are furthermore introduced into the harpoon web (12) over the entire length of the trim strip (1). In this case, the ratio of the area of a cutout (21, 22, 23) to that of a trapezium (31, 32, 33) of the harpoon web (12) is approximately 25% to 75% and the flank angle (F) of web flanks delimiting a cutout (21, 22, 23) is at least 10 DEG  and at most 20 DEG . <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lock detector for a switched reluctance motor (SRM) position estimator monitors the rotor angle estimates from a SRM rotor position estimator to make sure that the estimator is accurately tracking rotor position. Phase flux and current measurements corresponding to the rotor angle estimate of the sampled phase are supplied to dividing circuitry which generates a phase inductance estimate. The phase inductance estimate is compared by logic circuitry to lower and upper inductance limits to determine whether the rotor angle estimate falls within a specified tolerance of a theoretical inductance value. Alternatively, a flux-current map is used to generate a phase flux reference for comparison to the phase flux estimate. A lock detector flip-flop is reset whenever the phase inductance estimate (or phase flux estimate) is outside the specified tolerance, and a signal is sent thereby to disable the SRM.

Abstract: A glass vessel edge chamfering method and apparatus enables heat energy to be controlled readily, and chamfering of a glass vessel (1) having a deformed profile, local chamfering and simultaneous processing of the opposite inner and outer sides of a lip of a vessel (1) to be performed readily. Moreover, the efficiency in consumption of energy necessary for chamfering a glass vessel (1) is improved, so that a glass vessel (1) can be processed efficiently in a short time. A pair of positive and negative electrodes (3,4) are opposed in a predetermined spaced relationship to an edge (13) of a glass vessel (1), and flames (14,15) are blown from a pair of burners (5,6) into gaps between the edge (13) of the glass vessel (1) and the electrodes (3,4) while a high voltage is applied between the electrodes (3,4). Thereupon, electric current flows between the electrodes (3,4) and the glass vessel (1) by way of the flame (14,15) and heats the glass vessel (1) by Joule heat when it flows therethrough.

Abstract: The invention relates to devices for processing a signal (T) supplied by a rain detector (CA) so as to produce a decision signal (D) as a function of the intensity of the rain. In the case where the rain detector (CA) supplies a signal whose period varies linearly as a function of the quantity of water present on the detector, the invention resides in the fact that the device comprises means (PO, CTF, MP) for measuring the duration of the said period, and, between two successive measurements of the said duration, detecting an increase in the latter and storing it in a register where it is compared with a predetermined value corresponding to a certain rain intensity. The invention is applicable to motor vehicles for changing, for example, the frequency of the windscreen wipers. <IMAGE>
