Patent EP-0679843-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GIASSON ERIC J
IPC: F25B41/06
Filed: 1995-03-20
Abstract: A flow regulating valve for air conditioning systems is shown in which a body member (26,26a-26e) is provided with a passageway (28,28a-28f) which results in regulating flow of refrigerant into the evaporator of the air conditioning system under normal conditions. Under severe operating conditions, e.g., high ambient temperature and low or idle speeds, the system refrigerant pressure rises. This increases pressure in the evaporator and an increase in the saturation temperature of refrigerant in the evaporator. This increase in temperature is sensed by a thermostatic metal element (44,80,88) of the regulating valve which moves to increase restriction to the flow of the refrigerant fluid through the valve thereby decreasing pressure of the refrigerant entering the evaporator. In several embodiments the thermostatic metal element is in the form of a helix (44) with one end fixed to the body member and the opposite end attached to a sleeve (38,38d) in certain embodiments and an end cap (54,60,68) in other embodiments to rotate the sleeve or end cap to restrict fluid flow in an auxiliary passage.

Abstract: A magnetooptical recording medium comprises a transparent substrate, a first magnetic layer laid on the substrate, which has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and vertical magnetization at an elevated temperature, a second magnetic layer for storing information, which is laid on the first magnetic layer and which has vertical magnetization between the room temperature and a Curie temperature thereof, and a third magnetic layer disposed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer and made of a magnetic phase transition material undergoing reversible transition from antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism, wherein an antiferromagnetism-ferromagnetism phase transition temperature of the third magnetic layer is near a temperature at which the first magnetic layer changes from in-plane magnetization to vertical magnetization. 
     An information recording method for reproducing information from the magnetooptical recording medium comprises a step of forming a light spot as irradiating laser light through the substrate to the first magnetic layer, a step of causing a temperature distribution caused by irradiation of the laser light to define, in the light spot, a first region in which magnetization of the first magnetic layer is oriented mainly longitudinally and in which magnetic domain information in the second magnetic layer is masked against reading by the magnetooptical effect, and a second region in which the first magnetic layer changes into vertical magnetization and in which the magnetic domain information recorded in the second magnetic layer is transferred to the first magnetic layer, and a step of reproducing the magnetic domain information in the second region by the magnetooptical effect, utilizing reflected light of the laser light.

Abstract: An arbiter connects a plurality of devices to a bus. The arbiter determines priority among the devices based on the relative need of the devices. Relative need is determined for each device based on the fullness of a buffer, such as a first-in first-out buffer, corresponding to each device. A gauge informs the arbiter of the fullness value for each buffer from which relative need, and hence priority, is calculated. In addition, the arbiter can incorporate the speed of each device's buffer into its priority determination. The relative device priorities can thus be changed dynamically as the buffers associated with the devices read and write data via the bus. Similarly, the relative priority of a given device can change when the device changes from an input mode to an output or from an output mode to an input mode.

Abstract: The tool for the removal of locking collars of the frangible fasteners used in the aerospace industry has a drive motor and gear housing with a stationary sleeve (80) which projects from the housing. Within the stationary sleeve (80) are mounted a rotationally driven outer member (90) that distally bears a collet actuating bolt (142) and that slidably receives a stationary, telescoping inner member (92) with a spring (168) to bias the inner member (92) into its extended configuration, and a detent (groove 174 and balls 104) to capture the inner member (92) in its contracted, working configuration. A key holder (114) is mounted on the end of the stationary inner member (92) which has a hexagonally broached center bore (112) that receives a key (25) having an annular groove (116) which receives a detent ball (122) that is secured by a sliding bushing (124) which surrounds the key holder (114) and a spring (126) which biases the bushing (124) into the detent position. A collet chuck (23) has an internally threaded axial bore which is received over the collet actuating bolt (142) of the rotational outer member (90), and is rotationally indexed to a surrounding collet sleeve (21). The collet sleeve (21) is engaged through a unidirectional clutch (150) to the stationary sleeve (80) of the housing. When a key (25) is to be replaced, the telescoping inner member (92) is extended by releasing its detent, exposing the key holder (114) to permit one to retract the sliding bushing (124) and free the key (25) for removal.

Abstract: Curtain coating processes are well known wherein a composition is coated on to a moving support. However, the maximum coating speeds in such processes are severely limited at high curtain flow rates by the formation of a region metastable to air-entrainment. Furthermore, it is known to use polar charge to suppress air-entrainment and thereby increase the maximum coating speed. However, as the voltages generated by this polar charge are in excess of 500V, the coatings produced may suffer from defects caused by using such high voltages. Described herein is a method which enhances the maximum coating speed at high flow rates by the application of small levels of voltages, typically below 400V, to the moving support. Progressive suppression of the metastable region is obtained as the voltage level is increased. All levels of voltage up to 400V give a degree of removal of the metastable region, and therefore will enhance the maximum practical coating speed. Lower levels of voltage may also be used in conjunction with forward application angles to selectively enhance the maximum practical coating speed for a given laydown.
