    摘要: A plurality of electromagnetics in an array surround a shaft, with current controlled in the coils of the electromagnets to support the shaft at a desired position approximately centered between the electromagnets. Shaft position sensors provide feedback to a control system for modulating the current to the electromagnet coils, which are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the shaft. A drive circuit for each coil includes first and second switching transistors which connect the coil to the power supply to transfer a current pulse to the coil. A pair of circulating diodes begin conducting when the transistors turn off, and return power to the supply. A control circuit for the drive circuits interleaves on and off intervals for the coils in the electromagnet pairs so that one coil of the pair is being switched off at about the same time as the other coil of the pair is being switched on. The result is that the energy being returned to the power supply by the off-turning coil is diverted, at least in part, to the on-turning coil, thereby to reduce net current drain from the power supply.

    摘要: The piston of a reciprocating hydraulic actuator carries a pump which is driven by an electric motor and which supplies oil from the low pressure chamber of a cylinder to the high pressure chamber thereof in order to advance the piston. An exhaust valve in the piston is normally held in a closed position by magnetic force created by energizing a coil and, when closed, enables pressurization of the high pressure chamber of the cylinder. When a second coil is energized, the magnetic field of the first coil is negated and the valve is opened by a spring to permit oil to exhaust from the high pressure chamber to the low pressure chamber and permit a second spring to retract the piston. If both the pump motor and the second coil are de-energized, the first coil keeps the valve closed and causes the piston to remain in a commanded position. The actuator may be controlled by a floating single pole, double throw switch and its piston is automatically shifted to its fully retracted position by the second spring if electrical power to the actuator is lost.

    摘要: An oxygen sensing probe of the type in which a sensor tip made of a solid electrolyte is secured within a supporting tube by an hermetic seal. The tip is made of yttria-stabilized zirconia; the tube is made of magnesium-aluminate spinel, calcia and zirconia; and the tip and the tube are bonded together by a fusion weld consisting of a eutectic mixture of the tip material and the tube material. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the tube material very closely matches that of the tip material so as to prevent the seal from cracking when the probe is cycled rapidly and repeatedly through a wide temperature range. A frustoconical shoulder on the sensor tip engages a slotted frustoconical seat within a tubular outer conductor to establish good electrical contact between the tip and the electrode while allowing gas to circulate freely past the tip.

    摘要: A computer implemented control system which includes interface circuitry by which signal intelligence is taken in to the computer from external devices such as sensors and is fed out from the computer to external devices such as actuators which correctively adjust controlled parameters. An interface circuit for each of the several external devices is made "universal" in that either an analog input, bistate input, analog output, or bistate output device may be connected to any given one of the terminal points. A voltage follower amplifier sends the intelligence signal to an output device through a low-cost diode, with negative feedback taken from the downstream side of the diode. When an input device is elected for a given terminal point, simple program editing assures that the diode will be reverse biased to isolate the amplifier from the input signal path. In addition, inaccuracies in the analog output voltage fed to an output device--arising from contact resistances in a separable connector--are drastically reduced by a dual-path separable connector arrangement which provides two independent circuit connections for the output voltage and for negative feedback.

    摘要: Method and apparatus by which continuously existing analog voltage command signals for various channels within a control system are changed by determined amounts and senses as a result of supplying "pulse" signals of different durations and polarities. Electronic integrators preferably operating to create linear slope changes in their outputs, and to hold their outputs steady absent any input, are receptive to the change signals ("pulses") of differing durations to create analog command signals which change by increments proportional to the time duration and in a direction corresponding to the polarity of the change signal. This permits computer control of servo devices requiring continuously-existing, changeable command signals in the same fashion as servo devices which respond directly to variable duration, pulse-type change signals.

    摘要: A shaper cutter includes a conical body having teeth formed around its periphery and further includes a thin wafer disposed against the face of the body and formed with peripheral cutting teeth which lie against the teeth of the body, the teeth of the wafer serving to cut a workpiece and being backed by the teeth of the body. The wafer is bonded to the face of the body by a high strength adhesive which may be heated to destroy the bond and enable removal and replacement of the wafer when the cutting teeth thereof become worn. As a result of bonding the wafer directly to the body, there are no clamps creating axial interference ahead of the wafer and, in addition, lateral deflection of the wafer teeth during cutting is reduced.

    摘要: A controller for a damper maintains a substantially constant volumetric rate of flow of air through a duct into a controlled space for a given condition in the space and resets the rate of flow as a function of at least one sensed condition which causes changes in a control pressure. A dual lever system enables the controller to be calibrated to establish various air flow spans while utilizing substantially the full available range of control pressure to effect a change in air flow within each selected span.
