Title: Method and apparatus for manufacture of a window covering
Inventor: COLSON WENDELL B
IPC: A47H23/00
Filed: 1994-05-31
Granted: 1996-01-25
Abstract: A fabric light control window covering in which fabric vanes 10a are adhesively bonded between two sheer fabric sheets 72,96 such that relative movement between the sheer fabric sheets in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fabric vanes changes the angle of the fabric vanes and, thus, controls the amount of light admitted through the shade. The vanes are bonded to the sheer fabric sheets in a manner which tends to bias the sheer fabric sheets together to the non-light admitting position. Also, disclosed are methods and apparatus for manufacturing the above window covering. The method features linear application of adhesive to the vane material which provides for a uniform appearance in the finished product. A heat setting process and apparatus is disclosed in which the bonded layers of sheer fabrics and vanes are fed between belts over hot and cool surfaces, under uniform tension and pressure. This provides for heat setting of the layers of the window covering to a uniform temperature-size relationship without inducing wrinkles or distortion into the fabric during heat setting. <IMAGE>

Title: A process and a machine for printing on articles by silk screening
Inventor: MEREDITH STEVEN A
IPC: B41F15/10
Filed: 1987-03-23
Granted: 1990-03-08
Abstract: In the course of continuous movement along a track that is essentially circular, articles undergoing an imprinting process are passed through a plurality of print stations, individual silk screen stencils at the stations being adjusted to the resulting changes in the position of the article that occur during the imprinting process as the article moves through the printing machine. The articles can be arranged with their longitudinal axes either horizontal or vertical during the imprinting process. It is also possible to introduce the articles into the machine with their longitudinal axes vertical, then move them into a position in which their longitudinal axes are horizontal and imprint them in such a position, and then bring the imprinted articles once again into a position in which their longitudinal axes are vertical so that they leave the machine in this position.

IPC: F02B25/24
Filed: 2000-10-10
Granted: 2003-10-16
Abstract: An internal combustion engine, Z-engine. The compression part and the working part are separated. New gas is transported to the upper side of the piston. Below there is a small chamber corner. When the piston comes nearer the upper hollow part, the combustion gases go out from the cylinder through exhaust-valves.

Title: Acetabular cup and reamer assembly and associated method for securing the cup to an acetabulum
Inventor: LESTER MARK B
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 2001-11-08
Granted: 2006-02-09
Abstract: A method of securing an acetabular cup to an acetabulum so as to provide a bearing surface for a head portion of a femur includes the step of reaming a hemispherically-shaped cavity having a first radius into the acetabulum with a reamer. The reamer (50) includes a hemispherically-shaped cutting head which possesses the first radius (RA). The method also includes the step of press fitting the acetabular cup into the cavity reamed into the acetabulum. The acetabular cup (12) includes a cup body having a substantially constant radius sidewall (26) which extends outwardly from an apex (28) to an annular rim (30). The sidewall defines an imaginary hemisphere (32) having a second radius (RC). The second radius (RC) is greater than the first radius (RA). An outer face of the annular rim of the cup body defines a segmental plane (40) which intersects the imaginary hemisphere. The segmental plane is parallel to a great circle (36) of the imaginary hemisphere. The segmental plane is separated from the great circle of the imaginary hemisphere by a distance D in which 0.5 millimeters ≤ D ≥ 2.0 millimeters. A prosthetic hip assembly for replacing a natural bearing surface of an acetabulum with an artificial bearing surface for a head portion of a femur is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Title: Abrasive wire saw fabrication
Inventor: EBNER WALTER
IPC: B23D61/18
Filed: 1982-11-15
Granted: 1987-05-07
Abstract: An apparatus and a process are disclosed making it possible to mount, without disadvantages, relatively hard particles, such as diamond dust and the like, on wire-like base material in such a way that the diamond dust is not damaged, wherein any desired coating, that is, especially also a coating coherent over the length of the wire, can be produced. This coating is at least macroscopically homogeneous in character. In such a process for the application of relatively hard particles to a circular wire-like form or a wire-like form without longitudinal edges, for the purpose of producing a plain or multiple saw, the form is coated under pressure with the aid of a surface of two rolls. This surface is at least partially provided with the particles to be applied. The wire-like form is turned about its longitudinal axis during this process. The form must be present in the straight, that is stretched, condition. The process can be performed with an apparatus exhibiting two hardened and ground rolls movable relatively to each other. These rolls serve for the accommodation of hard particles and the form to be coated, and for rolling the form between the two outer surfaces of the rolls. The to and fro movement for rolling the form takes place mechanically.

Patent DE-2158729-B2 (DE)
Title: Safety shut down circuit for use with regulator controls - has modulator circuit which shuts down process if feedback signal exceeds preset limit
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 1971-11-26
Abstract: The process output is fed back into the controller where it is compared with a reference input to generate a correcting signal. An additional supervisory control unit monitors the feedback signal in order that shut down can automatically take place in the event of component malfunction. The feedback is modulated with a square wave signal and is summed with the reference input and a variable D. C. voltage from a potentiometer that represents a maximum permissible variation. The output is fed to an amplifier and filter network that passes A. C. signals only. During normal operation the square wave output of the filter is transmitted to the cancellation circuit that does not affect process operation. If a malfunction occurs such that the feedback exceeds the set limit, the filter output becomes D. C. and process shut down occurs.
