Patent GB-977650-A (GB)
Abstract: 977, 650. Mechanical calculating apparatus. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. Sept. 23, 1963 [Feb.14, 1963], No. 37259/63. Heading G4B. Control apparatus for totalizer engagement with differential racks is described. A typical totalizer line is shown in Fig. 3. The totalizer frame is moved forwardly into engagement with the racks 12 by rotation of shaft 26 causing roller 25 to move in cam slot 23. In total or sub-total operations the racks 12 are arrested by abutment of the zero tooth 14a with tooth 28a on a trip plate 28 which is rotatably carried by an arm 28 spring-biased against stud 32. The plate 28 is prevented from rotation by a finger 33. In subtraction the finger 33 is rotated clear of the trip plate 28 by a tens transfer solenoid 43 (Fig. 2) which actuates a single member 34 controlling the shafts 30 which support fingers 33. Fig. 1 shows the control apparatus for three lines of totalizers. A vertical link 50 embraces the control shafts 26 of the three lines and is provided with hooks 52, 53 and 54 on its front and rear edges which can engage pins on levers 69, 72 rotatably supported on arms 66 fixed to the respective shafts 26. The pins 70, 73 are held clear of the hooks 52, 53 by a spring 74. The link 50 performs three sets of movements during a machine cycle under the control of cam 61. First, it is raised and then returned home; second, it is raised the same distance in the first movement but is lowered only slightly; and third, it is raised past the furthest point of the first and second movements and then returned home. The rocking of shaft 26, and thus the engagement of the totalizers with the racks, is controlled by a solenoid, 86 in the case of the lowest totalizer line. Energization of the solenoid rocks arm 78, which, by bearing on pin 80 rocks lever 69 into the path of hook 52. The raising of link 50 will then cause shaft 26 to be rocked so as to engage the totalizers with the racks. The movement of the shaft will bring pin 81 on lever 71 into contact with the end 77 of arm 78, so that, unless the solenoid is de-energized, on a later upward movement of the link 50, hook 53 will engage pin 73 and the shaft 26 will be returned to its original position. Hook 54 engages pin 73 only on the third (or last) upward movement of the link 50 and will disengage the totalizers from the sacks if this has not already been done. Clearly, by suitable energization of solenoid 86 any required totalizer timing can be obtained. Selection of the solenoid also determines which totalizer line is to be selected. Specifications 772,170, 905,591 and 975,341 are referred to.

IPC: G05B17/02
Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: Apparatus for controlling an elongate web 100, comprises first and second anchor means for retaining the first and second ends of the web respectively, and an actuator 109 adapted to displace the web transversely at a position intermediate the first and second ends. A controller for the actuator, includes a mathematical model of the strip, together with sensors to detect transverse position and/or velocity of the strip, the output thereof being provided as input to the mathematical model, and the controller being arranged to activate the actuator dependent on predictions made by the model. Ideally, proposed actuator inputs will be provided to the model as inputs and the actuation pattern selected which leads to damping of strip oscillations. In a hot dip galvanising line, the first and second anchor means are the tower and sink rolls respectively. It is preferred if the actuator is non-contact as this will cause the least damage to the zinc surface. Magnetic actuators are suitable. In a similar manner, non-contact position sensors are preferred, such as inductive sensors, laser range finders, and ultrasound.

Title: A method for the direct reduction of iron oxides in a shaft furnace
Inventor: GORDON IAKOV
IPC: C21B13/02
Filed: 1998-08-03
Abstract: A method for the direct reduction of iron oxides by passing the burden downwardly through pre-reduction 10 and metallisation 14 zones of a shaft furnace 1 while passing fuel gas produced by external partial combustion upwardly in a counter current manner in the pre-reduction zone 10 and passing reducing gas downwardly in a co-current manner through the metallisation zone 14. The flow of reducing gas is an independent flow that has not been subjected to external combustion. An intermediate zone 12 and 13 forms a narrowed throat 13 between the pre-reduction and metallisation zones 10 and 14 with the reducing gas being introduced such that passage of fuel gas from the pre-reduction 10 to the metallisation zone 14 is inhibited. Preferably about 5-10 volume % of the reducing gas passes upwardly from the intermediate 12 and 13 to the pre-reduction zone 10.

Title: Multiplexed power control system for a motor vehicle; load shedding
Inventor: WEIL HANS-GEORG
IPC: B60R16/03
Filed: 1998-08-26
Abstract: In order to optimize the conductor cross-section of the power supply line 32 in a sub-region of a motor vehicle having a power-multiplex power distribution and control system, not only loads which are sensitive to a voltage drop (such as various rear lights 11 to 16), but also one or more loads which are tolerant of a voltage drop (such as a rear window heater 17, or wiper motor) are connected downstream of a non-central control unit 26 coupled to the power line 32 and to a data line 31. The cross-section of the power line 32 is such that the maximum voltage drop permissible on the line is not exceeded when all the lights 11 to 16 are operated simultaneously. A programmed controller module (33, Fig.3) associated with the control unit 26, or with a central control unit (2, Fig. 1) monitors the total power requirement currently called for by all the loads connected to control unit 26. If that power requirement is such that the maximum voltage drop on line 32 would be exceeded, one or more of the voltage drop tolerant loads 17 are controlled to reduce the total power requirement. The reduction may be achieved by turning off a voltage drop tolerant load 17 or using a pulse width modulator to operate the load 17 at reduced power.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a stack of parallel perforated plates, each plate having perforations (15A). The perforations (15A) define an array of spaced column precursors (16), of thickness equal to the plate thickness, the column precursors being joined together by ligaments (17). Each ligament extends between a pair of adjacent column precursors, and has a thickness less than the plate thickness. The column precursors of any one plate are coincident in the stack with the column precursors of any adjacent plate such that the stack is provided with an array of individual columns. Each column extends perpendicularly to the plane of the plates such that fluid flowing through the stack is forced to follow a tortuous flow path to flow around the columns. The plates may have unperforated border regions (11, figure 1) forming side plates. The plate perforations and ligaments are formed by photochemical etching or spark erosion. Passageways may be provided for catalytic material.
