A method of cutting an elastomeric strip of material is described. The method includes the step of advancing a strip of material 2 a predetermined distance by a conveyor means 30. Resisting reverse movement of the strip 2; tensioning the strip 2; and cutting simultaneously across the entire width of the strip 2 through the thickness of the strip 2 on a skive angle of 45 degrees or less preferably about 28 degrees to form a cut length of material thereby relaxing the tension in the strip as the skive cut ends 3 and 4 move apart. This method of cutting can be accomplished by providing an apparatus 100 for cutting an elastomeric strip of material 2 which has a frame assembly 50, a motorized feed conveyor 30 mounted onto the frame 50 for advancing the strip material 2, a cutter assembly 20 mounted on the frame assembly 50 including a guillotine cutter 22 oriented to move along a skive angle α, a second conveyor means 40 for supporting the strip 2, the second conveyor means 40 having rollers 42 having a one way directional movement in the forward direction resistant to movement in the reverse direction; a motor 32 connected to the feed conveyor 30 to drive the conveyor 30 in an advancing direction and having a reverse tensioning direction; and wherein the cutter assembly 20 is positioned between the second conveyor means 40 and the feed conveyor 30 to cut the strip 2 after a tension is applied to the strip by reverse motion of the feed conveyor 30.

The method of building and transferring a tread belt structure on a portable and collapsible building drum 10 mounted coaxially on a building machine 100 with a rotatable shaft 120 is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming the annular tread belt 4 on the building drum 10, transferring the building drum 10 with the tread belt 4 from the rotatable shaft 120 onto a pivoting transfer device 200, pivoting the transfer device 200 about 90° rendering the tread belt 4 and axis of the building drum 10 perpendicular to a horizontal plane, collapsing the building drum 10, separating the annular tread belt 4 from the building drum 10, removing the tread belt 4, expanding the tire building drum 10, pivoting the building drum 10 into coaxial alignment with the rotatable shaft 120, moving the building drum 10 onto the shaft 120. The tread belt 4 has one or more elastomeric components applied while hot and the equipment provides means for weighing the tread belt 4.

A system for controlling the timing of a cylinder valve in a reciprocating internal combustion engine includes a crankshaft position sensor for determining position of the crankshaft, and a camshaft structural force sensor for determining the presence of a structural force upon the camshaft related to a unique rotational position of the camshaft. A controller receives position signals from the crankshaft and camshaft structural force sensors. The controller compares the valve position signal from the structural force sensor with a predicted valve position based upon the crankshaft position and determines if the predictive value is in error. If an error is greater than a specified threshold, the predictive model will be corrected.
摘要:
The invention comprises a strategy and method for phase shifting intake and exhaust valve timing relative to crankshaft position as a function of engine operating variables, whereby valve overlap is delayed to obtain improved fuel economy resulting from a late intake valve closing to reduce pumping work during the intake stroke. The exhaust gases are drawn into the combustion cylinder of the engine during the intake stroke, which reduces oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas and reduces unburned hydrocarbons. Improved thermal efficiency and reductions in oxides of nitrogen are achieved as the combustion charge is diluted at higher loads by an external exhaust gas recirculation system, thereby combining the effects of exhaust gas recirculation and dual equal variable camshaft timing to obtain fuel economy benefits that cannot be achieved with either a conventional EGR system acting alone or dual equal variable camshaft timing acting alone.

An arrangement of a four-cycle internal combustion engine is provided. The engine arrangement 8 has at least a first combustion chamber 12 with a reciprocating piston 15 mounted therein. The first combustion chamber or chambers have a cam-driven intake and exhaust poppet valves. At least a second combustion chamber 12 is provided. The second combustion chamber has a reciprocating piston 15 mounted therein. The reciprocating piston 15 of the second combustion chamber 12 has a top dead center position and a bottom dead center position. The second combustion chamber also has a cam 18 driven exhaust poppet valve 14 which can be selectively disabled to a closed position to deactivate the second combustion chamber. The second combustion chamber also has a variable phase cam 18 driven intake poppet valve 16 to selectively set the opening and closing operation of the intake valve 14 to be generally symmetric about one of the piston center positions.
摘要:
An apparatus for loading, chamfering and unloading a ceramic or ceramic/polymer substrate for electronic components. An automatic part loader moves substrates in a row as a unit, using a frangible pin to push the parts. The part loader separates the first of the substrates from the rest, and a load pedestal pushes the first substrate up into a loading/unloading nest. The load pedestal is mounted on rods so that the substrate may move laterally to center itself in the nest. The nest then rotates to load the substrate onto a movable process pedestal. The chamfering apparatus includes a pair of spaced, rotatable cutting spindles for chamfering edges and corners on the substrate. The cutting spindles include: i) separate top and bottom edge cutters for simultaneously chamfering top and bottom of edges of a substrate secured on the carrier as the substrate passes between the spindles and ii) corner cutters for simultaneously chamfering corners of a substrate secured on the carrier as the substrate contacts the spindles. The pedestal rotates the substrate about an axis normal to the plane of the substrate and moves the substrate in a direction normal to the plane of the substrate to present unchamfered edges and corners to the cutting spindles. A disc brake on the process pedestal may be actuated to prevent rotation of the substrate during chamfering. An enclosure surrounds the substrate, chamfering cutters and process pedestal during chamfering and utilizes the air flow supplied by the rotating cutters to propel chips into a particle collector.
摘要:
A mounting cup having a plastic film or laminate provided on the top outwardly facing surface thereof, at least adjacent the pedestal portion of the mounting cup, for mating with a skirt of a spray button to provide a sufficient seal between those two components during charging of a pressurized container with a propellant. The perimeter dimension of the skirt is preferably sized to be slightly smaller than the perimeter dimension of the pedestal portion of the mounting cup so that the skirt is slightly expanded upon engagement with the mounting cup. Due to this arrangement, the skirt at least partially bites into the plastic laminate, provided on the top surface of the mounting cup, to provide the sufficient seal between those two components.

Disclosed is a system and method for reading and decoding distorted data, e.g., bar code label or other symbology data, by fitting a scanned signal model j(t, .theta.), using a Deterministic Expectation-Maximization (DEM) algorithm, to the measured or detected data signal y(t). The DEM algorithm, which is a novel variation of the conventional Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, enables the system and method according to the invention to determine the values of a plurality of parameters .theta. defining the scanned signal model j(t, .theta.) as it is being fitted to the measured data signal y(t). Based on these values, characteristic information such as data elements or symbols encoded within the image data are generated using conventional signal processing techniques. The use of the DEM algorithm advantageously deblurs the signal by reducing the effects of intersymbol interference. In an alternative embodiment, the DEM algorithm is supplemented by a conventional zero crossings decoding technique. In this manner, the zero crossings technique is used to obtain initial parameter estimates for the DEM algorithm in determining the parameters .theta. of the scanned signal model j(t, .theta.).
