Title: Montage de commutation pour divers types de commutateurs
Inventor: DOHNAL DIETER
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 1995-03-08
Granted: 2004-12-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de commutation pour interrupteur de puissance de commutateurs à plots et pour sélecteurs de puissance, comportant deux contacts de commutation déplaçables dans deux directions. Le premier contact de commutation se présente sous forme de contact de commutation principal et est en connexion avec la dérivation de puissance par l'intermédiaire d'une première cellule de commutation à vide. Le second contact de commutation se présente sous forme de contact de commutation pourvu d'une résistance et est également en connexion avec la dérivation de puissance par l'intermédiaire d'un couplage en série composé d'une seconde cellule de commutation à vide et d'une résistance de passage. Le contact de commutation principal et le contact de commutation pourvu d'une résistance sont, l'un comme l'autre, indépendants l'un de l'autre et peuvent être déplacés sans couplage et asservissement mutuels. Le contact de commutation principal atteint toujours le prochain contact fixe par commutation rapide, indépendamment du sens de commutation, avant que le contact de commutation pourvu d'une résistance ne quitte le précédent contact fixe.

Abstract: An oilfield stuffing box 10 employs mating flange plates 15, 16 with bolt holes appreciably larger in diameter than the bolts employed to hold the flange plates together, thereby permitting lateral displacement between the two flange plates. The lateral adjustment permits the tubular stuffing box section 13 carried centrally on the upper plate 15 to be centrally positioned about a polished rod 12 extending between the two flanges. The lower plate 15 is preferably integral with a well head section 14, and is also provided with the large diameter bolt holes to double the range of permitted lateral adjustment. The relative size of the bolts, bolt holes, polished rod diameter and well head diameter are selected for optimum lateral adjustment with a minimum practical hole-to-bolt size differential. A static seal 22 between the two mating flange plates provides a leak-proof seal at any of the different lateral positions between the two flanged sections 13, 14.

Title: Hydraulic system
Inventor: DIXEN CARL CHRISTIAN
IPC: F15B11/05
Filed: 1997-08-28
Granted: 2000-11-21
Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic system (1) with a pressure source (2, 3) controllable via a load sensing signal, a pressure sink (4), at least two working sections (6, 7), each having a hydraulic consumer (8, 18) and a control valve (9, 9') with a load sensing signal connection (19, 20; 19', 20') and at least one back-pressure valve (17) arranged in a tank pipe between the control valve (9, 9'9 and the pressure sink (4).            In such a system the pressure required from the pump in the neutral position must be as low as possible. On the other hand, however, oscillations should not occur, when an external force acts on another hydraulic consumer in the neutral position of a control valve.            In the neutral position of the control valves (9, 9') the load sensing signal connection ( 19, 20; 19' 20') is therefore connected with the pressure sink (4) via an auxiliary tank pipe (23, 23', 23"; 29) by-passing the back-pressure valve (17).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus to photoinduce a grating or other type of modulated refractive index change in a photosensitive optical medium such as optical fiber. The resulting grating has a variable and controllable intensity profile and average value of the index change. The modulated refractive index change is photoimprinted in the medium i.n a series of writing steps, each comprising exposing a segment of the medium to a writing beam for a predetermined exposure time. To change the modulation intensity from step to step, the angle of incidence of the writing beam is dithered for an appropriate fraction of the exposure time at each step. This allows to control the amount of incident light on the medium for each step. If the exposure time is the same for each writing step, the average value of the index change may be kept constant avoiding undesired structure in the grating frequency response.

Abstract: A carbon powder inlet and a graphite powder collect-ing port are oppositely arranged on a furnace body. At least a pair of electrodes are oppositely arranged in the furnace body with respect to a graphitizing area at an intermediate position between the inlet and the collecting port. The carbon powder at a core of the furnace body is graphitized while the surrounding carbon powder adjacent to the furnace wall serves as a heat insulator to the furnace body. As a result, the graphitizing area is properly maintained at high temperature.      No impurities can intrude into the graphite powder to be collected through the collecting port and only the pure graphite powder can be properly collected since no materials exist in the furnace body other than the carbon powder as raw material.      The carbon powder adjacent to the furnace wall and surrounding the electrodes is maintained at low temperature and does not move, which makes it possible to alleviate burning damage of and improve durability of the furnace body and the electrodes.
