摘要:
A system for recording the amount of gas which is metered each day by reading-out the unit measurements of a meter which reads a continuing total. The continuing total of the meter is read monthly, and a printer record shows the amount which is consumed each day of the month. The read-out mechanism and an automatic printer are operated by gas flow once every 24 hours under the control of a battery-operated clock. Other selected print out cycles, such as hourly read out, can be selected by utilizing a battery-operated clock of the proper rotation cycle.

A DEEP FAT FRYING UNIT HAVING A GLASS COOKING VESSEL ADAPTED TO HOLD A SUPPLY OF COOKING OIL. THE UNIT IS HEATED BY AN ANNULAR INFRARED RADIANT GAS BURNER ASSEMBLY WHICH HEATS THE OIL PRIMARILY BY INFRARED RADIATION PASSING FROM THE BURNER ASSEMBLY DIRECTLY THROUGH THE VESSEL WALL. THE BURNER ASSEMBLY IS ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE VESSEL SO THAT THERE IS A COOL ZONE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VESSEL WHICH ELIMINATES BURNING FOOD SEDIMENT DEPOSITED THEREIN. THE RADIANT HEAT IS ABSORBED BY THE OIL IN AN ANNULAR ZONE ADJACENT THE VESSEL WALL AND THIS PRODUCES OIL CIRCULATION BY CONVECTION UPWARDLY ALONG THE WALL AND DOWNWARDLY AT THE CENTER OF THE VESSEL, BUT WITHOUT OVERHEATING THE OIL.

An annular gas heating unit which surrounds the peripheral sidewall of the generator unit in an air-conditioning system to provide radiant heat to the generator. A combustible gas mixture is introduced tangentially into two separate plenum chambers of the heating unit to create a generally circular flow of gas therein to provide an even distribution of gas within the combustion chamber of the unit. The products of combustion are discharged through an annular exhaust section which also surrounds the generator unit of the air-conditioning system to provide additional heat by conduction and convection heat transfer to the generator unit.

A system for detecting the presence of a burner flame in which the flame heats a temperature sensitive electrical device to produce an electrical current which is supplied to a winding on a rectangular hysteresis loop magnetic core to bias it to saturation in one direction termed the ''''reset'''' state, and in which means are provided to supply periodic current pulses to a winding on said core sufficient to saturate said core in the opposite direction termed the ''''set'''' state, and in which the core is provided with an output coil which generates a control pulse each time the core is shifted from the reset state into the set state. The presence of such control pulses indicates the presence of the flame and may be used to keep fuel flowing to the burner. A plurality of such cores are arranged to be individually controlled by a plurality of flames and means are provided to select the number and combination of the flames and cores to be controlled, including means for selectively connecting the outputs of the selected cores in parallel.

A GAS BURNER HAVING TWO CONCENTRIC COMBUSTION SECTIONS WITH EACH COMBUSTION SECTION HAVING A SEPARATE GAS SUPPLY NOZZLE. A SINGLE GAS DISCHARGE CHAMBER FOR THE TWO SECTIONS IS LOCATED ABOVE THE BURNER AND IS CLOSED EXCEPT FOR A GAS DISCHARGE FLUE. HEAT IS TRANSMITTED BY INFRARED
RADIATION THROUGH A GLASS PLATE TOP AND BY CONDUCTION FROM THE GLASS PLATE.

A welding head clamping and oscillation assembly is disclosed for use in a welding machine having means for supporting and moving the assembly along a joint to be welded. The assembly includes a support platform connected to the assembly supporting means of the welding machine and a support plate slidably mounted on the support platform for reciprocal movement in a direction transverse to the joint to be welded. A welding head clamp is pivotally mounted on the support plate for arcuate oscillating movement in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the slidable mounting of the support plate and a reversible stepping motor is operatively connected to the clamp for oscillating the clamp about its pivot axis. An electrical control circuit is also provided for the stepping motor and includes logic circuitry for producing a pulse signal at a predetermined frequency and a binary counting circuit for counting a predetermined number of pulses from the signal and producing an output signal when the predetermined number of pulses is counted. The circuit includes means responsive to the output signal and operatively connected to the motor to drive the motor alternately in first and second directions in response to successive output signals from the binary counter thereby to oscillate the welding head clamp assembly about its pivot axis.
摘要:
A digital ignition analyzer which calibrates the output frequency of a pulse generator with respect to the rotational speed of an engine, and then uses a counter to count the pulses from the generator during the time between ignition in a selected cylinder and a reference time. The count displayed on the counter gives a direct digital reading of the rotational angle between the reference point and the point of ignition.

In an infrared burner having orifices through which a combustible mixture of air and a combustible gas passes, each orifice is provided with a throat portion of relatively small cross-sectional area extending from an inlet for the air-gas mixture to an expanding or diverging outlet portion into which, particularly when the air-gas mixture is supplied to the burner at a relatively high-mass flow rate, a substantially laminar flow or jet established in the throat portion of the orifice is projected centrally and separates from the surface of the diverging outlet portion to create a turbulent recirculating flow around the laminar flow or jet for substantially increasing the infrared radiation produced by the burner when the air-gas mixture is ignited within such outlet portion.
