Abstract: A friction disc clutch utilizes different patterns and sizing of the oil dispersal grooves of interleaved toothed discs such that the removal of oil from the friction material is promoted, particularly from the disc that rotates at a lower speed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for converting an input signal having frequency related information sustained over a first duration of time into an output signal sustained over a second duration of time at substantially the same first frequency by adding or subtracting to the effective wave length of the output signal. Preferably, the signals are converted in digital form with samples added or subtracted to frequency convert the signal.

Abstract: A lubrication path in a gerotor motor extending in the face of the rotor or an adjoining surface from a gerotor cell having relatively high pressure to the central cavity of the device to provide cooling and lubrication fluid thereto.

Abstract: A high power microwave or radio frequency network is disclosed which utilizes [2] two movable capacitive probes in order to provide complete vector tuning [in 4 axis by] utilizing the capacitive reactance of the two capacitive probes to provide [2] two tuning axis and the inductive reactance of two fixed inductive posts to provide [the] two additional [axis] axes of tuning, thereby allowing four axes of tuning with the movement of only two members, the capacitive probes. A third capacitive probe/inductive post set can be added to the two probe configuration for extremely high reflection correction at all phase angles.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure device valve having an outer circumferential support to a surrounding housing journal is constructed of a series of flat plates brazed together to form a unitary member containing substantially all of the valving passages of the entire device.

Abstract: Liquid industrial anti-microbial hand soaps are provided for removal of foreign matters from skin and imparting dermal conditioning and softness. When in the form of stable homogeneous liquid, the composition may contain: a) surfactant or surfactants with hydrotropic properties as solubilizer and wetting agent; b) fatty amphoteric compounds as primary and secondary surfactant, antistatic agents; c) fatty amine oxides or amides as conditioning agents; d) distearate as thickening agent; e) essential oil; f) abrasive; and/or, g) water. The soaps preferably include in homogenous solution 1-2% of a quaterized anti-microbial, 10-30% surfactants and emulsifiers, 2-3% essential orange oil, 2-4% of a hydropolymer abrasive and the rest deionized water--all percentages by weight.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a vaporizer in a liquid material vaporizing and feeding apparatus for allowing a liquid to absorb heat efficiently and vaporizing it thereby without pulsation of the liquid or formation of air bubbles.In a lower end face of an upper member 20 is formed a recess 24 into which a liquid material inlet 22 opens, and a valve member 50 is disposed so as to cover the recess 24.With a spring S, the valve member 50 is urged in a direction in which it comes into close contact with the lower end face of the upper member 20. A vaporizing portion 26 is formed between an upper surface of the valve member 50 and the upper member 20, and a pressure intensifying portion 58 is formed by both the upper surface of the valve member 50 and the recess 24.A liquid material fed from the liquid material inlet 22 depresses the valve member 50 through the pressure intensifying portion 58, and when the liquid material is diffused in the vaporizing portion 26, it is heated and vaporizes in an instant.

Abstract: A flow control valve for a semiconductor manufacturing process, which valve utilizes a pressure sensor between the flow control valve and a subsequent sonic nozzle to detect the gas pressure which is fed back to the valve to control the flow through the valve.

Abstract: A delay tracker utilizes a special code on the tracked signal in order to recognize such signal and ascertain any delays associated therewith.

Abstract: This invention relates to a natural gas fired water boiler having a spirally wrapped finned heat exchanger surrounding a burner. The center of the heat exchanger being plugged by a metal core having a constantly reducing diameter truncated cone top.

Abstract: A matt knurl for a sleeve bearing is utilized in order to provide a reservoir of lubricant, thus to eliminate the gauling and physical damage to sleeve bearings during the non-operational shipment thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a phase shifting apparatus and method. The phase shifting apparatus comprises a signal generator and a converting device. An input signal is converted by the offset signals from the signal generator, thereby producing an output signal with the same frequency as that of the input signal. The phase of the output signal is determined by the difference of the offset signals applied to the converting device. In particular, when two offset signals are in quadrature, the output signal becomes in quadrature with the input signal. When the two offset signals have the same phase, the output signal has the same phase as that of the input signal. Preferably, the converting device includes two cascaded offset means, each having a multiplier and a filter coupling to the multiplier. A plurality of converting means may be coupled in parallel to the signal generator.
