IPC: G05D23/24
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: An electrical heating system (10) has a resistance heater (11) that is controlled by a charge regulator (20) based around a regulating amplifier circuit (22). Actual temperature is fed back from a sensor (12). The power connection to the heater is provided by a Triac power switching stage (21). The power range of the heater is defined for specific requirements and the rating is fixed at the post of installation. The adjustment of the regulator to suit these conditions is provided by valves entered into an EPROM memory (26) from a coding module (27).

Abstract: A printer having a writer section for imaging a media web, a cutter (10) for selectively trimming the web from the writer section into imaged sheets and waste, and a transport assembly for advancing cut sheets from the cutter to a finishing mechanism, includes a diverter (16) having a deflecting position for directing web material trimmed from the media web to a first area and a web-advance position for directing imaged sheets to the finishing mechanism. The deflecting position may be a waste-deflecting position for directing waste trimmed from the media web to a waste container (18). Preferably, the diverter has a withdrawn position which clears a path for the formation of a slack loop of media between the printer section and the transport assembly, thereby negating speed-matching and web tracking problems between the printer section and the transport assembly. A transport assembly (20) advances media from a writer section to the finishing mechanism at a rate less than the feed rate of the finishing mechanism. Transport assembly rate is over-ridden to allow media to be drawn through the transport assembly at the feed rate of the finishing mechanism. The finishing mechanism may be a chemical processor or a storage cassette.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for supplying liquid to a body cavity (10) during an endoscopic procedure including a feedback loop-controlled liquid supply device inherently capable of supplying liquid at a substantially constant pressure substantially independent of the flow rate of liquid delivered by the liquid supply device within a relatively wide range of flow rate. Also disclosed are a disposable plastic pump cassette having an inflow pump in a housing, and an operative cannula. The surgical procedure is performed with continuous control over the body cavity pressure, regardless of the outflow flow rate.

Abstract: The thermostatic valve is used for the regulation of heated water in an underfloor heating system for buildings. The valve has the flow between inlet and outlet (1,2) controlled by a poppet (5) that moves relative to an orifice element (3). A temperature sensitive element (6) expands and contracts axially to vary the flow rate by moving a spindle (8) coupled to the poppet. Built-in to the lower section is a spring (10) that provides a reaction force for the thermostatic actuator. The spring is of a memory metal type that has a two-stage characteristic. Below a certain temperature the spring offers little force. Above this temperature it operates with a stiff action.

Inventor: GARCIA PALANCAR FRANCISCO MANU
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: Based on a phase locked loop (PC1, CP1, VCXO) which receives an incoming data signal (DS) and generates a recovered clock signal (RC). In the event that this incoming data signal (DS) includes low frequency cycling, false phase locking can occur, consequently leading to impaired operation. 
     To avoid this, according to the invention, there is also included a false locking detector (FLD) to which is applied the incoming data signal (DS) and the recovered clock signal (RC) and the output of which, which is added in an adder circuit (ADD) to that coming from the first loop, produces voltage pulses when both signals are not at the same frequency, provoking a non-locked state. Only when the frequency is correct, does the false locking detector (FLD) not alter loop operation.

Abstract: In the procedure the regulator is controlled according to parametric values of proportionality (po) and the integration parameter (io). For a given series of possible control values (p,i) for the regulator one simulates by computer the operation of the control loop in the vicinity of a given reference position. This allows determination of the response time (X1) and the amplitude of response (X2), as well as the efficiency of the control (X3) and the effect of random perturbations (X4). An optimisation function is calculated based on these measurements (X1-X4) with weighting coefficients, in order to minimise the value of the function and thus determine the pair of values (pi,io) corresponding to this minimised function.

Abstract: In a non-collinear type acousto-optic tunable
filter, a source light beam  L   1  is made off-perpendicularly
incident on a crystal body 1, so that the cross section of
the source light beam is narrowed within the crystal body,
and as a result, the receiving angular aperture becomes
large to increase the amount of light collected into
crystal body 1. Consequently, highly accurate spectrometry
can be performed even if the intensity of the source light
beam  L   1  is low. Further, the non-diffraction part of the
crystal body that is irrelevant of diffraction can be
eliminated by the off-perpendicular incidence of the source
light beam  L   1 , so that the sufficient diffraction length of
acoustic and optic waves can be obtained.

Abstract: Internal combustion engine torque control for damping undesirable engine speed variation measures the variation as a high frequency engine speed variation at a known engine operating angle and, for each cylinder combustion event while the variation is present, calculates a phase-compensated desired torque change to dampen the engine speed variation by projecting the engine speed variation phase at the known engine operating angle to the phase at a next combustion event, and to calculate an opposing cylinder output torque change to dampen the engine speed variation phase at that next combustion event. The torque change is then carried out through ignition timing variation at the combustion event or through variation in the amount of fuel delivered for ignition at the combustion event.

Abstract: Ammonia which is found in fuel cell fuel gases is removed therefrom by passing the fuel gas stream through a scrubber bed of porous carbon pellets containing phosphoric acid. The ammonia reacts with the phosphoric acid in the scrubber bed to form ammonium phosphate compounds which remain in the scrubber bed. The ammonia content of the fuel gas stream is thus lowered to an acceptable concentration. The temperature of the fuel gas stream passing through the scrubber bed is lowered to minimize the amount of phosphoric acid which evaporates into the fuel gas stream and extend the scrubber operating life.
