Abstract: An electrical interruption device [10] is disclosed in which a space efficient spiral spring [28] activates current interruption. The spring [28] is characterized by coils which wind continuously about and approach a central axis, with successive coils of the spring [28] having reduced radius to pass axially through the center of an outwardly adjacent coil. The spring [28] may further be made to assume a flat condition with the spring coils [50] lying flat, nesting interposed between adjacent coils. Advantageously, the spiral spring [28] is conical in shape and is tensioned in a reverse loaded configuration wherein the coils of one end of the spring are pulled axially inward, through and past the coils of other end. Preferably the reverse loaded conical spring [28] forms part of a thermally sensitive device which includes a housing [26] having disposed therein a plunger [30] which is in a biased relationship with the spring [28]. The plunger [30] extends beyond the housing [26] to provide electrical communication with the remainder of the electric circuit, and is held in place against the force of the spring by a meltable solder [54,56]. On a predetermined condition causing the solder [54,56] to melt, the plunger [30] is released, whereby it is moved by the force of the spring [28] into the housing [26] and out of electric communication with the remainder of the electric circuit.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to improve the handling of textile bobbins and textile-bobbin tubes, especially during the preparation of the textile bobbins. The object is achieved, according to the invention, in that the slip-on mandrel (5) of the pallet is longer than the textile-bobbin tube (2) and projects so far out of the textile-bobbin tube (2) that, with the textile bobbin (1) slipped on, it can be grasped by gripping means (36). A coupling between the baseplate (4) and slip-on mandrel (5) of the pallet is designed as a functionally releasable plug connection (6, 16-18) for the temporary separation of these mouldings. Particularly for conical or cylindrical cross-wound bobbins, a pot-like encasing body for the textile bobbin (1) is connected to the baseplate (4). The coupling advantageously consists of a snap fastening (6, 16-18). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A microprocessor controlled apparatus includes a microprocessor (2) with e.g. eight address lines (A,₀,A₁ .... A₇) on which signals may be applied by the microprocessor for selectively addressing a peripheral device coupled thereto, and a data device such as a LCD module (1) having data lines to which data signals may be applied for transfer into the data device. Four of the data lines (D₀,D₁,D₂,D₃) are coupled to a sub-set of the microprocessor address lines (A₂,A₃,A₄,A₅) excluding the two address lines (A₀,A₁) associated with the least significant bits. The signals on the sub-set of address lines are thus applied as data signals to the data device. When data is to be transmitted to the data device the microprocessor (2) is caused to execute a sub-routine comprising instructions having addresses such that the signal appearing on the sub-set of address lines remains substantially stable over an extended period of time allowing data to be clocked into the device even when the write timing of the microprocessor is too fast for the device to accept data directly from the data output lines of the microprocessor.

Title: Liquid supply control arrangement
Inventor: WU KANE
IPC: G05D9/12
Filed: 1993-12-09
Abstract: For use e.g. in controlling the supply of liquid (4) to a container (2) forming part of an apparatus for applying a layer of molten hot melt to a shoe upper component to reinforce the component when the layer is consolidated on cooling, a liquid supply control arrangement is provided which has an emitter (10,20) and a receiver (12,22) respectively for projecting a beam of light onto a surface of the liquid in the container and for received reflected light from the surface. The receiver (12,22) generates an output signal having a value according to the intensity of light received thereby, or alternatively, where the light projected is pulsed, according to the time interval required between the emitter (10,20) emitting the pulse and the receiver (12,22) receiving it, and this value is compared with two pre-set values representing respectively a lower predetermined limit (L) and an upper predetermined limit (U) for the level of liquid in the container (2). When the value matches either one of these pre-set values, liquid delivery means (6,8) is operated either to replenish the liquid in the container (2) or to discontinue the supply of liquid to the container appropriately. The upper and lower limits may be adjusted.

Abstract: The profile according to the invention is joined together from a basic profile (2) and at least one shaped profile (4). The basic profile (2) and the shaped profile (4) rest against one another in particular regions (14.1-14.5) and are connected intimately to one another at those points, for example by spot welding, thus resulting in an overall useful thickness in these regions which corresponds to the sum of the thicknesses of the basic profile (2) and the shaped profile (4). The basic profile (2) is expediently a profile of simple cross-section and preferably of greater thickness than the shaped profile (4). The desired, relatively complicated shape of the overall profile, which, for example, can have projecting webs (6.1, 6.2) and rounded sections (8.1, 8.2), is composed of the basic profile (2) and the shaped profile (4) which is generally of a more complicated shape. In comparison with the prior art, the proposed profile structure allows a considerably more cost-effective manufacture and additionally broadens the possibilities in terms of precision and shaping. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un support d'images ainsi qu'un procédé de formation d'une image reprographique sur celui-ci, ledit support d'images comprenant un support ainsi qu'une couche de colloïde hydrophile opaque, caractérisé en ce que cette dernière contient au moins deux types d'agents opacifiants: (a) des particules polymères composées de billes à âme/enveloppe sphérique creuse, (b) du blanc de titane de la modification par cristaux d'anatase. Le support d'images peut également contenir une quantité de blanc de titane de rutile commun. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, l'image reprographique est un motif colloïdal multicolore servant d'épreuve de pré-presse. Le choix approprié des différentes proportions des quantités respectives desdits agents opacifiants permet d'obtenir un ensemble de supports d'images servant de matériaux récepteurs à des couches colorées transférées, donnant lieu à différents pourcentages de gains de points dans l'épreuve finale, mais présentant essentiellement la même blancheur de fond. Le support du support d'images peut être constitué de papier recouvert de polyoléfine, ou d'une résine polymère organique. Cette couche de polyoléfine ou de résine polymère peut être opacifiée au moyen de blanc de titane.

Abstract: Provided is a process for making a paper based product which comprises first preparing a slurry of a cellulosic pulp; a particulate binder substantially insoluble in water, and an emulsion comprised of lecithin and a fatty acid or derivative thereof. This slurry is then drained of liquid to form a web, with the web being dried to provide the paper based product. The preferred polymeric binder is a hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol powder, which binder can be present in the final dried product in amounts of up to about 20 weight percent or more. The use of the emulsion comprised of lecithin and a fatty acid or derivative thereof permits a web containing such a high amount of sticky polymeric binder to be dried at high temperatures, without the web sticking to the drying cans generally used in commercial processes. The process of the present invention thereby permits one to efficiently prepare such a paper based product using conventional, commercial papermaking machinery.
