摘要:
A conventional control valve hydraulically powered by a double acting cylinder and controlled electrically through a double acting solenoid supplied by a variable D.C. supply. The solenoid transmits varying forces to a four-way pilot valve which in turn controls the positioning of the double acting cylinder. The de-energized solenoid, control valve spool and pilot spool are neutrally balanced between two springs equally loaded with differing spring rates so that a small movement of the solenoid core will cause a proportionally larger movement of the main control valve spool proportioned to the different spring rates.

This automatic hydraulic cushioning device for cam plate positioning actuators on variable displacement, axial piston pumps eliminates the noise, vibration, and wear caused by hammering of the positioning actuator on the back plate when the actuator is close to full retraction. A supply of fluid under pressure, which is available at the back plate, is channeled to the cam plate positioning actuator. A valve in the actuator blocks off drainage of the fluid whenever the actuator is close to its fully retracted position. This retained fluid becomes a hydraulic stop and cushion for the actuator thus eliminating the hammering as well as the noise, vibration, and wear which results from the hammering.

An apparatus for generating a constant logical value in an integrated circuit includes a first logic network having n outputs, the n outputs providing 2n possible output combinations, where the n outputs assume a state that is a subset of the 2n possible output combinations and a second logic network configured to generate at least one constant logic signal when the n outputs assume any state that is part of the subset of the 2n possible output combinations.

An apparatus includes a memory unit, a microcontroller, a first communication port providing a first communication path between the apparatus and a computer system, and a second communication port providing a second communication path between the apparatus and a peripheral device. The peripheral device is also communicatively linked with the computer system via a third communication path that bypasses the apparatus. Control of the peripheral device is subject to the apparatus.

Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a non-dusting copper pyrithione dispersion comprising small solid particles of copper pyrithione dispersed in a liquid dispersant, said solid particles having a particle size within a range of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns and a median particle size of less than 3 microns. The dispersion is suitably employed as an antifouling additive for marine paints without risking worker exposure to copper pyrithione dust. Paints containing the small particle copper pyrithione exhibit improved antifouling performance in cold water, as compared to paint containing larger particle copper pyrithione.

A quantum well infrared focal plane array achieves hyper-spectral measurements of incident infrared radiation using a voltage dividing network that applies different and adjustable biasing voltages to each line of the line by column array. The peak wavelengths of each quantum well layer of each detector structure in the array is set to a specified nominal value by appropriate fabrication of the depths of the quantum wells of the layers. The nominal peak wavelength value of each quantum well layer can further be varied by modulating the bias voltage applied to the gate of the direct injection transistor associated with each detector structure of the array. A read out integrated circuit (ROIC) containing the direct injection transistor processes the photo-current from each quantum well layer of each detector structure. Using an n by n array of vertically stacked detector structures, along with the associated ROIC, a focal plane array can be fabricated where each row of detector elements in the array is responsive to different peak wavelengths.

An improved process for preparing thin, yeast-leavened dough crusts provides improved products with reduced fragility. The process comprises: preparing a dough, preferably including an antimycotic; holding the dough at a suitably low temperature which is effective to develop the dough while maintaining good forming characteristics; dividing the dough into weighed pieces; finally proofing the weighed dough pieces; pressing the weighed dough pieces between upper and lower, differentially-heated platens to form and condition a flat dough preform, the starch in the upper surface being partially gelatinized and the lower surface being strengthened. Preferably, the product baked and then packaged in a heat-sealed plastic covering.
摘要:
A three channel, binary coding technique, especially adapted for identifying intermittently, erratically, or continuously moving objects along a linear path (conveyor track, roadway, or the like). Three parallel channels of coded information are each provided with some type of photoelectric, electronic, or mechanical indicating means or indicia representative of one of two logic states, which logic states on each channel change during each successive segment or interval thereon. A change in the timing channel indicates to a sensing means that a new binary bit of intelligence is to be transmitted. The order in which the coding channels change during the succeeding segment then indicate whether the binary bit being generated is a ONE, a ZERO, or in the alternative whether the reading is erroneous or invalid.
摘要:
Apparatus for automatically straightening portions of a rod assembly having stubs extending outwardly from a yoke connected to the end of a rod and which is used in the electrolytic production of metals. A bent portion of the rod portion of the assembly is straightened by opposing anvils adapted for movement toward one another. As the anvils are closed together, a bent rod portion between them is straightened. The stubs which become toed-in during use are straightened by a stub straightening portion of the apparatus which is inserted between the stubs and actuated against the stubs with sufficient force to remove the toe-in. The apparatus is adapted to perform the straightening automatically on bent rod assemblies which are transported through the apparatus.

A mixer stage having particular application to digital detectors. The mixer stage includes first and second sets of transmission gates and a Walsh function generator. The first set of transmission gates is driven by sine function coefficient signals from the Walsh function generator so as to open and close individual gates of the set so as to effectively multiply an input signal by the sine of a tone reference frequency to be tone detected. Similarly, the second set of transmission gates is driven by cosine coefficient signals from the Walsh function generator so as to open and close individual gates of the second set to effectively multiply the input signal by the cosine of the reference frequency to be tone detected. To form a complete digital tone detector, the sine and cosine multiplied outputs of the mixer stage are each filtered and squared and are then summed and further filtered to provide a "detect" signal when the input signal includes the reference frequency.
