摘要:
An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine has a flow control gate that is timely pivotal and located within the exhaust gas inlet downstream of the flow splitter. Control is provided to timely pivot the flow control gate toward the turbine rotor and thus provides an initial high velocity spin to the rotor when turbo charged boost pressure is demanded from an adjustable direction flow control valve. The control valve uses boost pressure from the compressor to timely actuate a piston and lever connected to the pivotal flow control gate, or a signal from an engine control module (ECM) can be directed to a hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical actuator having a reciprocal control rod connected to the flow control gate.

A multi-pulse rocket is equipped with a thermally insulating barrier that serves as a rupture disk or a movable plug or plate separating staged propellant grains. When a rupture disk it used, the disk can be equipped with a pyrotechnic actuator to weaken the disk upon command, enabling the propellant grain on the fore side of the disk to burst the disk at a relatively low pressure when ignition of the propellant grain is needed for additional thrust. Rupturing of the disk can also be controlled by attitude maneuvering ports on the fore side of the barrier whose open or closed conditions are controlled by independently operable closures. When a movable plug is used, the plug is movable between a closed position separating rocket chamber into subchambers isolating the propellant grains from each other and an open position allowing the flow of combustion gas between the two subchambers to achieve additional axial thrust. In all cases, the barrier when intact serves to contain both propellant grains regardless of whether one or both is ignited. The propellant grain on the fore side of the barrier can thus be used for either axial thrust augmentation or for attitude maneuvering.

A safety enclosure for a human worker positioned on a ladder, comprising a bracket connectable to first and second preselected rungs of a ladder, having a longitudinally extending central portion preselected in length to span at least two adjacent rungs of the ladder. A continuous open hoop-like member having a preselected opening sized so as to freely encompass the midsection of a human worker is connected to the bracket means adjacent the first preselected rung. The hoop-like member has a pair of side portions extending normal to the bracket, and a back portion connecting the two side portions. Auxiliary hoop means connects the outboard ends of the side portions to the bracket and adjacent to the second preselected ladder rung. The bracket includes a first U-shaped hook-like portion sized to hook over and longitudinally engage the first rung. The bracket also includes, at the other end thereof, a U-shaped portion sized to snugly and normally encompass said second preselected rung. The safety enclosure further includes stabilizer means attached to the side portions and having members which may be moved normal to the bracket toward and adjacent to a building wall against which the ladder is resting.

Apparatus for stabilizing a two-legged ladder against lateral and rearward movement. Telescoped tubular pole assemblies are attached at one end to opposite side rails of the ladder with a quick disconnect universal pivot. Special support and retainer blocks are provided for facilitating the transport of the assembled ladder and telescoped assemblies on the top of a vehicle.

A data-storage cartridge has a rotary inner shell, or shutter, to selectively permit access to a data-storage disk disposed within the shell. The shutter is equipped with a wedge-shaped opening through which access to the data-storage disk is attained. A fabric liner is affixed to the inner surface of the shutter to isolate the disk from direct contact with the shutter. The ends of the liner extend beyond, i.e., overhang, the edges of the shutter which form the disk-access opening, thereby preventing direct contact between the data-storage disk and the edges.

An improved method for the decarbalkoxylation of alkylated .beta.-keto esters to obtain high yields of ketones. In accordane with the method, decarbalkoxylation of alkylated .beta.-keto esters is accomplished by heating the esters in the presence of dilute aqueous alkali and an effective amount of a phase-transfer agent. The method produces commercially practical yields of ketone in a manner which is facile, economical and environmentally safe. Novel methylene-linked pyrethroid ketones produced from the improved method exhibit insecticidal activity against various agricultural pests.
摘要:
A vertically elongated chamber has a current of air blowing upwardly therethrough so that leaves deposited into the chamber are subjected to a combined effect of gravity and airflow and heavy stems of the leaves are thus oriented downwardly; conveyor means in the chamber translate the leaves laterally so that the leaves move, stem first, through an outlet passage at one side of the lower portion of the chamber. The leaves then fall onto a discharge conveyor with their stems oriented in the same direction. A zone of reduced pressure at the upper end of the chamber prevents the leaves being blown out the top of the chamber. Kicker means within the chamber above the conveyor means aid in separating leaves which may be stuck together.
