Patent EP-0364864-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAHORI MUTSUO C O MIHARA MAC
IPC: B41F13/60
Filed: 1989-10-10
Abstract: An improved cut length adjusting apparatus in a folding machine of a rotary press is disclosed. The fold­ing machine generally consists of a saw drum having two saw blades (1,1') disposed on its circumference nearly at equal angular intervals, and a folding drum (23) rotating synchronously with but in the opposite direction to the saw drum. The saw drum is formed of an outer cylinder (12) and an inner cylinder (13) which are mutually rotatable and which have one saw blade respectively projected therefrom. The improvements reside in that a helical gear (15,26) adapted to be meshed with another helical gear at the axial end of the folding drum is provided at the axial end of at least one of the outer and inner cylinders, and either one of the helical gear (15,26) at the axial end of the outer or inner cylinder and the helical gear at the axial end of the folding drum is formed to be movable in the axial direction. Owing to the improved structure, by moving either one of the above-mentioned helical gears in the axial direction, the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are relatively rotated, and so, the circumferential distance between the two saw blades are varied. Thereby the cut length of a sheet to be cut by these saw blades can be precisely adjusted.

Abstract: A process and a device are specified for producing an intaglio printing plate in the printing press in an economic manner. An intaglio printing cylinder used as an intaglio printing starting plate - preferably made of ceramic - has an even basic cup pattern designed at least for the largest quantity of ink to be transferred. The cups are filled by an image spot transfer unit operating according to a known non-impact process, for example the thermotransfer principle or the principle of an ink jet printer, directly or with interposition of a transfer belt filled with a meltable substance to the extent that the volume remaining unfilled corresponds to the quantity of ink to be transferred by one cup in each case. The substance can easily be removed on completion of the printing operation and washing out of the ink residues by heating the intaglio printing cylinder, after which the cylinder can be provided with a new printing image. Thus the production of the intaglio printing plate and the changeover of an intaglio printing press is designed in total to be far more rational and the intaglio printing process is also economic for smaller editions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Digital data processing apparatus for use as a three-layer perceptron comprises three sets of processing cells (29A-29D, 29E-29H, 29I-29L). The data inputs of the cells of each set are connected to a respective common data bus (30,32,33) and the data outputs of the cells of each set are connected to a respective common data bus (32,33,34). Input data applied sequentially to the input bus (30) are processed in parallel by the cells (29A-29D) of the first set under the control of a clock pulse generator arrangement (35) which controls synchronised read-out of respective weighting factors from a store included in each cell, accumulation of the thus weighted items of input data, latching of the processing result in each cell, and subsequent read-out of the latched results onto the relevant output bus (32). The read-out results constitute input data for the cells (29E-29H) of the next set, which operate in the same way, as do the cells (29I-29L) of the final set. As an alternative a single set may be used recursively.

Abstract: Metal strip is continuously cast using a primary solidification zone (245) in the form of a chamber for molten metal (224), the chamber being defined in part by an oscillating cooling wall (228) upon which solidification of the molten metal can take place, creating one face of the ultimate strip. Heat is withdrawn from the cooling wall (228) to promote solidification of the metal. A secondary solidification zone (247) adjoins the primary solidification zone and receives the solidified metal from the primary zone. The secondary zone is defined in part by a further cooling wall (268) facing oppositely from the oscillating cooling wall in the primary zone. Solidification of the molten metal takes place against the further cooling wall (268) in the second zone to create a second face of the metal strip. The metal in the secondary solidification zone is maintained against the further cooling wall to prevent liquid breakout. Heat is also withdrawn from the further cooling wall (268). The formed metal strip (273) is withdrawn from the primary zone (245) through the secondary zone (247).

Abstract: Fuel vapours escape from fuel tanks when the temperature rises. These are led through activated charcoal containers. A proportion of the combustion air drawn in is led over the activated charcoal for recycling and fed to the internal combustion engine. In the partial load range the recycled air is enriched to a greater or lesser extent with hydrocarbons. In the case of the new device the air flow led over the activated charcoal opens into an air intake duct, which has opening sections, one of which changes over to downstream when the throttle valve is open. The new device affords good regulating properties and smaller and lighter activated charcoal containers and valve components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 2.1 In apparatuses for the automatic positioning of satellite antennas, two controlled switches are used to switch the motor on and off and to drive it in the correct direction. In the event of frequent use or manufacturing faults these switches may fail which can lead to defects in the motor if a stop position is reached and the motor can no longer rotate despite the current flowing. The object therefore exists of protecting the motor. 2.2 This object is achieved according to the invention in that, after a switch-off command, a current monitoring circuit is used to test whether the motor is actually switched off. If this is not the case, the motor is then switched off using the second switch and a suitable fault report is displayed. 2.3 Antenna positioning devices for satellite antennas. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An orthogonal coaxial-line-to-microstripline transition is described. The transition employs capacitively loaded throughline transmission line (126B, 144B) to interface between the coaxial line (126A, 144) and the microstripline (106-110). Because the field configuration of the throughline (126B, 144B) shows similarities to both the coaxial line (126A, 144) and the microstripline configurations (106-110), a well matched transition between coaxial line (126A, 144) onto microstripline (106-110) is achieved. The center conductor of the throughline (126B, 144B) can be bent at right angles with no mismatch. Dielectrically loading (128) the throughline (126B, 144B) prevents higher order loads from radiating out of the through (130).

Abstract: The invention relates to an ignition system for internal combustion engines, having a crankshaft signal generator (KW signal generator) which supplies per crankshaft rotation a reference mark assigned to a specific crankshaft angular position and having a phase signal generator, in particular a camshaft signal generator (NW signal generator) which within two crankshaft rotations generates a number of phase signals assigned to the camshaft position, which number corresponds to the number of cylinders of the internal combustion engine, one of the phase signals being used to form a cycle signal which characterises the start of an ignition cycle. In order to be able to constantly perform a reliable cylinder identification (cylinder 1 recognition) in emergency operation occurring in the event of a failure of the KW signal generator, an identification signal (K) which forms the cycle signal (Z) together with the associated first phase signal (P) is applied between a first phase signal (PE) assigned to a specific cylinder (cylinder 1) and the adjacent phase signal (P) which follows said signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The arrangement of the articulation damping device according to the invention can be seen from Fig.2. On the front coach a hydraulic cylinder 2 or shock absorber 2' is hinged at 5 at a distance y from the longitudinal centre plane. On the other side, symmetrically with this, also at a distance y from the longitudinal centre plane, a hydraulic cylinder 19 or shock absorber 19' is also hinged at 5'. At the other end the two cylinders 2, 19 or shock absorbers 2', 19' are hinge-connected to 4 on the slewing ring outer section 1' in a vertical plane on the longitudinal centre plane. With the cylinders or shock absorbers in this position the articulated set is in straight- line running. The distance of the articulation points 5, 5' from the articulation point 4 in the longitudinal centre plane is designated by x, the inner dead centre position of the hydraulic cylinders or shock absorbers by bmin, the radius of the slewing ring by a, the bending angle between front coach 3 and follower 6 by angle  beta . Angle  gamma  is the angle formed by the straight line from point 5 or 5' to the centre point of the slewing ring and the  longitudinal centre plane. If the follower 6 now bends to the left, the hydraulic cylinder 2 or shock absorber 2' and hydraulic cylinder 19 or shock absorber 19' are shifted to the right, the travel from 2, 2' to the point A being reduced and the travel from 19, 19' to point A being increased by the same amount. At point A the moment of 2, 2' is equal to 0. On the travel beyond A the moments of the cylinders 2, 19 or the shock absorbers 2', 19' are cumulative.
