A controller for a heating system (1) of a paving screed (2) i ncluding a screed plate (3). The heating system (1) is connected with the screed (2) and configured to transfer thermal energy to the screed plate (3) and includes an actuator (16) configured to adjust thermal energy output of the heating system (1). The controller includes a temperature sensor (12) connectable with the screed (2) and configured to sense temperature of the screed plate (3). The sensor (12) is also configured to generate electrical signals proportional to sensed temperature. An electrical logic circuit (14) is electrically connected with the sensor (12) and is electrically connectable with the actuator (16). The logic circuit (14) is configured to compare a temperature signal from the sensor (12) with a desired temperature value and to automatically operate the actuator (16) such that the actuator (16) adjusts thermal energy output of the heating system (1) so as to maintain screed temperature about the desired temperature value. Preferably, the logic circuit (14) is a microprocessor and the temperature sensor (12) is a thermocouple.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling the temperature of the compresed fluid flowing through a compressor aftercooler. The system includes a compression module flow connected to an aftercooler and at least one repositionable fluid flow regulating member upstream from the aftercooler for modifying the volume of ambient fluid supplied across the aftercooler. The system further includes a temperature sensor for sensing the ambient temperature, and an actuator connected to the at least one fluid flow regulating member. A controller is in signal receiving relation with the temperature sensor and is in signal transmitting relation with the actuator. If the sensed ambient temperature is outside a predetermined range, a repositioning signal is sent by the controller to the actuator, extending or retracting the actuator the amount required to achieve the required fluid flow rate across the aftercooler and thereby maintain the desired aftercooler fluid discharge temperature for the ambient operating temperatures.

A method for measuring the machinability of a material includes piercing a hole through a material to be tested while simultaneously measuring a pierce time duration, T, of the piercing step, and calculating a machinability number from the pierce time duration. Also provided are methods for determining the machining speed of a material and for machining a material which calculate a machining speed for a material based upon the machinability number of the material. The methods used to measure the machinability number and calculate a machining speed for a particular material can include any combination of machining operations, including abrasive water jet cutting processes. Also provided is an apparatus which detects the time duration a piercing force takes to create a pierce-through condition through a material. The apparatus includes any of a pressure sensor, an acoustic sensor, an optical sensor, a load cell, a mechanical switch, or any combination thereof, to measure the pierce-time duration.

A rotational energy storage device (10) or spring which includes a roller-cam assembly having a shaft (14), a ring (12) rotatably disposed about the shaft, and at least one roller (16) disposed between shaft and ring. The roller (16) is configured such that, upon rotating the ring relative to the shaft, the roller interferes with the ring and the shaft to convert and effect storage of mechanical energy created by the relative rotation of the ring and the shaft. Preferably a plurality of spaced rollers are positioned between ring and shaft. A cam geometry (20) which is symmetrical or asymmetrical is provided on the shaft, the ring, the roller, and combinations thereof. A rotational energy storage device having a back-up ring with alternating thin and thick cross-sectional areas is further provided which is indexed to provide regions of low and high stiffness regions against each roller.

A device for use within the backhead of a down hole percussive drill, for removing debris from a drillhole, includes a flow control member in the drill backhead for inducing cyclonic flow of percussive fluid, to concentrate the heavier water and other matter away from the lighter percussive gases, a separator in the backhead that separates the water and other matter, passageways in the backhead for ejecting the separated water and other matter, a sealing member for sealing the backhead passageways against back flow of debris from the drillhole annulus, and an indexing member for positioning the separator so as to permit a pre-selection of flow amounts of removed water and other matter.
摘要:
A dispensing apparatus (10) for dispensing a material including a valve assembly (20) comprising: a valve member (22) movable in a reciprocating fashion along an axis, where the valve member (22) includes a stem (28) having at least one material transfer recess (30) provided on the stem (28) and a tapered dispensing end (24) having an angle of taper. The valve member (22) is movable between a first position where a discrete toroidal mass of material to be dispensed is formed at the dispensing end (24) and a second position where a discrete toroidal mass of material to be dispensed is not formed at the dispensing end (24). The dispensing apparatus (10) also includes a material dispensing assembly comprising having a fluid knife for moving the discrete toroidal mass to be dispensed from the dispensing end (24) away from the dispensing end (24) when the valve member (22) is in the first position. The fluid knife is supplied substantially parallel to the angle of taper of the dispensing end (24).
