Abstract: A process for drawing wire employing a lubricant comprising perfluorocarbon compounds (PFCs), including aliphatic perfluorocarbon compounds ( alpha -PFCs) having the general formula CnF2n+2, perfluoromorpholines having the general formula CnF2n+1ON, perfluoroamines (PFAs) and highly fluorinated amines (HFAs), and perfluoroethers (PFEs). Such fully and highly fluorinated carbon compounds exhibit a very high degree of thermal and chemical stability due to the strength of the carbon-fluorine bond. Further, because the compounds are fully fluorinated, and therefore do not contain chlorine and bromine, they have zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). Further, because the compounds are photochemically non-reactive in the atmosphere, they are not precursors to photochemical smog and are exempt from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) volatile organic compound (VOC) definition. Further, because they are volatile, the compounds are easily removed at the end of the process without need for an additional cleaning step. The process provides wire at significantly higher production speeds and longer die life with improved quality and less byproduct debris.

Abstract: Electro-pneumatic positioner with a pneumatically driven dual-chamber actuator having a pneumatic main air intake valve and a pneumatic main air discharge valve attached to a pressure pipe of the actuator. The positioner may also include a further main air intake valve and a further main air discharge valve attached to a further pressure pipe of the actuator. Each main valve has an actuating element, with the actuating element for the one and the further main air intake valves each being formed by a corresponding main valve. To manufacture an electro-pneumatic positioner of this type comparatively economically, the actuating element of the one main air discharge valve is formed by a feed pipe which connects the pressurized side of the one main air discharge valve to the interior of the reversing valve of the further main air intake valve. The actuating element of the further main air discharge valve is formed by a further feed pipe which leads from the pressurized side of this main air discharge valve to the reversing valve of the one main air intake valve.

Abstract: A digitally implemented, look-up table-based, predistortion and feed-forward correction signal processing mechanism compensates for distortion generated in the RF power amplifier (68). The input signal to the RF power amplifier (68) is stored for comparison with the measured RF output. In each of the predistortion and feed-forward signal processing paths, the magnitude of the complex waveform of the input signal is extracted to derive a read-out address to a dual-port RAM (230) which stores weights to be multipled by the input signal. In the predistortion signal processing path, the product is coupled to the RF power amplifier (68). In the feed-forward correction loop, the product is amplified by an auxiliary feed-forward RF amplifier (270) and coupled into the amplified output signal path of the RF power amplifier (68).

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for controlling heat transfer in a fluidized bed reactor having a heat transfer chamber (312) with a bed (314) of solid particles therein, means (320, 322) for introducing fluidizing gas into the heat transfer chamber for fluidizing the bed of solid particles therein and heat transfer surfaces (316) in contact with the bed of solid particles in the heat transfer chamber. Heat is transferred to said heat transfer surfaces from the solid particles. The fluidization of the bed of solid particles is varied according to a periodical function, e.g. by control means (34) periodically varying the flow velocity of fluidizing gas being introduced into the heat transfer chamber. Thereby the instantaneous heat transfer, as well as, the effective heat transfer from solid particles to the heat transfer surfaces may be controlled.

Abstract: In an air jet loom including a stop motion arrangement with first and second light beam sensor devices for detecting the presence of an inserted weft thread, the functionality of the sensor devices is continuously monitored. An inserted weft thread is expected to reach the first sensor device during an angular range ( alpha 1) of one rotation of the main shaft of the loom, whereupon the first sensor device emits a weft arrival signal (S1). In the event of a weft break, the weft thread reaches the second sensor device during the angular range ( alpha 1), whereupon the second sensor device emits a weft fault signal (S2). To monitor the functionality of the first sensor device, an interference signal (S3) emitted thereby during a second angular range ( alpha 2) not corresponding to the first angular range ( alpha 1) is evaluated. To monitor the functionality of the second sensor device, its light beam is positively interrupted by a projection (12') of a machine component (12) during each weft insertion cycle as the reed beats-up the inserted weft thread. Thus, the second sensor device positively emits a test signal during each reed beat-up at a time outside of the first angular range ( alpha 1). The presence, absence or irregularities of the signals (S3) and (S4) are statistically evaluated to determine whether a loom stop is necessary.
