Abstract: A self-closing valve (14) for flushing drip-irrigation lines (10) at the beginning of every irrigation cycle. The valve (14) comprises a housing (16) defining an enclosed space, having an inlet portion (16c) mountable to the line end, allowing free communication with the water of the line (10). The housing (16c) comprises an elastic membrane (24) dividing the enclosed space into upstream and downstream compartments (S1, S2) with respect to said flow, with a passage communicating between the said compartments. A discharge opening (34) is formed in the upstream compartment (S1). Flow impeding means are associated with said passage (26) for restricting the flow of water from the upstream compartment (S1) into the downstream compartment (S2), said flow being effective to flex the membrane (24) in the upstream direction until it closes against the discharge opening (34). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved turbine engine ignition exciter circuit. Energy stored in an exciter tank capacitor is subsequently switched to the load (igniter plug) through a novel thyristor switching device specifically designed for pulse power applications. The switching device is designed and constructed to include, for example, a highly interdigitated cathode/gate structure. The semiconductor switching device is periodically activated by a trigger circuit which may be comprised of either electromagnetic or optoelectronic triggering circuitry to initiate discharge of energy stored in exciter tank capacitor to mating ignition lead and igniter plug. Likewise, the present invention allows new flexibility in the output PFN (Pulse Forming Network) stage, eliminating need for specialized protective output devices such as saturable output inductors. Due to considerably higher di/dt performance of the device, true high voltage output pulse networks may be utilized without damage to the semiconductor switching device. An exemplary embodiment of invention contains a novel feedback network which causes thyristor timing (trigger) and DC-DC converter circuits to compensate for varying igniter plug wear and dynamic engine combustor conditions, tailoring exciter spark rate, output voltage and energy to account for dynamic load conditions.

Date Nov. 14, 1996In a digital data transmission system using sliding-window flow control with an adjustable window size on a non-transparent data connection whose nominal data transmission rate may vary during the connection, a receiving party delays the transmission of a retransmission request for a missing frame for the duration of a delay, so that the receiving party may ensure that the missing frame has not been moved to be sent later in the same group or in next groups. If the missing frame is received later in the same group or in the next groups within said delay, no retransmission request is sent. If the missing frame is not received by the end of the delay, a retransmission request is sent. This eliminates unnecessary retransmissions due to the wrong frame order, and resulting loading or congestion. This results in a higher throughput on the data connection. If grouping is not being used, retransmission is not delayed unless a delay is needed for another reason.
