  • Patent number: 6324841
    Abstract: A power- and moment-regulating system for at least two adjustable hydraulic pumps (10, 11). A hydraulic servo control apparatus (22, 23) continuously adjusts delivery as a function of pressure in a delivery pressure line (16, 17) and pressures in control lines (20, 21). Each servo control apparatus (22, 23) is provided with a moment valve (42, 43) having a valve piston (62) which moves in a valve sleeve (61) forming a valve seat and whose closure force is determined by a measuring spring (46, 47) which is connected to pump actuator (37, 38) and is preloaded depending upon the set delivery rate. The pressure in control line (20, 21) or pressure in control lines of the other hydraulic pump(s) (11, 10) act both on the valve piston (62) and on valve screen (61) of moment valve (42, 43) associated with the given hydraulic pump (10, 11).

  • Patent number: 5734318
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an acceleration-sensitive sensor, an electronic circuit arrangement for analyzing the output signal from the sensor, an ignition output element, an ignition element, and a safety device for the vehicle's occupants. To test the operating readiness of the ignition element, an oscillator circuit is also provided, which applies an output signal to the ignition element. The resulting voltage drop obtained across the ignition element is compared by means of a window comparator to threshold values.

  • Patent number: 4029249
    Abstract: A high-speed roller system for transporting webs of sheeting, preferably for coating the same with a magnetic layer, comprising a suction roller for control of the speed of the web, which suction roller has a surface containing grooves, preferably rhombic grooves, in which the perforations for sucking the sheeting are disposed, preferably at the points of intersection, the ratio of the total cross-sectional area of the perforations to the total surface area of the roller being from 0.7 to 3%.
