IPC: A24D1/04
Filed: 1986-07-09
Granted: 1989-03-15
Abstract: In order to obtain a leak-free and mechanically stable joint between the helically wound wrapper (7) and the mouthpiece paper (10a) which surrounds the filter, the latter has been divided into an inner filter plug (4a) abutting against the end face of the bunch (3a) and an outer filter plug (9a) located in extension of the inner plug. An additional, interior mouthpiece paper (5a) surrounds the inner filter plug (4a) and a portion of the bunch (3a), and the wrapper (7) is retained between the two mouthpiece papers (5a, 10a) and supported from inside by the inner filter plug (4a). In the method a double filter plug is first placed between two bunches and an interior mouthpiece paper is applied. A wrapper is rolled around the entire length of the resulting double bunch which is then severed to form two single bunches. A further double filter plug is placed between the single bunches where-upon an exterior mounthpiece paper is applied. Finally the product is severed in the middle.

Abstract: A driver assembly (24) for the pad (35) of a high speed floor burnishing machine includes a flexible back plate (29) having a peripheral retaining skirt (30) which centers the pad (35) on the driver assembly (24) and also prevents the edges of the pad growing or expanding to a larger circum­ference during high speed rotary burnishing action. The backing plate (29) adds stiffness to the pad (35) when rotating at high speed, and it promotes uniform contact of the pad with the floor at the outer radial extremities of the pad where the velocity is greatest and the polishing is most effective. The pad (35) and driver assembly (24) are surrounded by a shroud (17) which is continuously evacuated by radial air flow generated by the motion of the driver assembly which includes a finned hub (25, 26). The air flow carries debris generated by the burnisher to a collection bag or filter without leaving the machine.

Abstract: Point and area target tracking are employed by a dual mode video tracker which includes both a correlation processor (30) and a centroid processor (32) for processing incoming video signals representing the target scene (20) and for generating tracking error signals over an entire video frame. A microcomputer (26) controls the operation of the correlation and centroid processors, as well as a preprocessor (28) which preconditions the incoming video signals. The tracker operates in any of several modes in which the correlation and centroid processors function either independently or cooperatively with each other. The correlation processor generates a reference map in pixel format which is used to produce azimuth and elevation optimal weighting values for each pixel in the field-of-view. The reference map is recursively updated. The track gate for the correlation processor is automatically sized using a gradient function derived from the optimal weighting values. The gradient function is also employed along with difference video to determine correlation tracking status. The correlation and centroid tracking errors may be combined to form a composite signal defining a true complementary function.

Abstract: The carbonylation of an alcohol to produce a carboxylic acid, especially methanol to produce acetic acid, in a low water reaction medium containing a rhodium catalyst stabilized with an iodide salt, especially lithium iodide, along with alkyl iodide such as methyl iodide and alkyl acetate such as methyl acetate in specified proportions is improved by the addition of hydrogen in the feed gas to the low water reaction medium to obtain a reactor hydrogen partial pressure of at least about 4 psi. The presence of hydrogen in the reaction medium increases significantly the carbonylation reaction rate and reduced formation of byproduct carbon dioxide. The present reaction system not only provides an acid product of unusually low water content at unexpectedly favorable reaction rates but also, whether the water content is low or, as in the case of prior-art acetic acid technology, relatively high, is characterized by unexpectedly high catalyst stability; i.e., it is resistant to catalyst precipitation out of the reaction medium.

Abstract: Containment means in the form of water-absorbing polymers are included in the path of a refrigeration cycle to remove accumulated water or water vapor that inherently develops. Such polymers do not lose their efficiency even when they become oil coated, which occurs because lubricating oil is normally circulated with the refrigerant and refrigerants like freon are also somewhat oily. Preferably such containment means are in the form of polymer granules included in a bag or sack placed in a readily-openable canister, which itself is placed inside the housing of a dehydrator. This dehydrator housing also has a readily opened lid held on by a quick-disconnecting clamping means.

Title: Fuel-fired heat producer
IPC: F23N1/04
Filed: 1989-07-21
Granted: 1993-05-19
Abstract: A heat producer has, in addition to a main pipe (21) which guides a fuel/air mixture of controlled composition, a secondary pipe (22), which can be switched on and off alternatively, with an associated fuel pipe (23). The variation range from minimum to maximum heating output, which is limited by the performance in service of the burner, is to be increased. The outlet pipe (5) and the inlet pipe (2) of the heat producer are interconnected by means of a return pipe (71) which is provided with a valve (72) and via which a flow of exhaust gas, which decreases with an increase in the size of the flow of fuel/air mixture which is supplied to the burner (1), can be added to the latter flow. As a result of this, the minimum output of the burner (1) is greatly reduced because by adding the exhaust air the outflow rate at the burner is increased and at the same time the ignition rate of the fuel/air mixture is reduced, so that stable relationships are maintained at the burner even with a very small flame. <IMAGE>
