Patent number: 6320346Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a model railroad locomotive includes a Digital Command Control (DCC) decoder and a power switch. The power switch selectively connects the railroad locomotive's motor to either the decoder or directly to an energy source, such as the tracks, but not both the decoder and the energy source simultaneously. When the motor is connected directly to the energy source, rather than through the decoder, the model railroad locomotive speed and direction is determined by the magnitude and polarity of the voltage applied. The motor may alternatively be powered through the decoder by actuating the power switch. The decoder receives electrical energy as an input, and converts the energy to deliver as an output a variable electric motor drive power source. In addition to receiving energy as an input, the decoder also receives electrical signals representative of an operator's control instructions.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Atlas Model Railroad Company, IncorporatedInventor: Paul Graf

Patent number: 4744458Abstract: A vibratory conveyor for advancing stacked wafer-like articles in an edgewise upstanding orientation includes a vibratory trough having a vibratory base portion of a width which is less than the width of the entire vibratory trough. The conveyor further has a non-vibratory, elongated base component situated adjacent the vibratory base portion and having a width which, together with the width of the vibratory base portion constitutes substantially the width of the entire vibratory trough. In response to an operational parameter of the vibratory conveyor, the articles are caused to be disengaged from the vibratory base portion and engaged solely by the non-vibratory base component, whereby conveyance of the articles is interrupted.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1986Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: Sig Schweizerische-Industrie GesellschaftInventors: Rene Fluck, Paul Graf

Patent number: 4653617Abstract: A vibration damper for vehicles is described, the damper curve of which is required to be arbitrarily variable, to enable the damping to be adapted optimally to driving conditions. For this purpose, the invention has a vibration damper in which a regulating member actuable by an actuating device can be pressed with variable force against at least one spring washer of a valve closure element of a damping valve arranged in the damper piston. The contact pressure of the regulating member is arbitrarily variable and the regulating member can be pressed progressively against the spring washer of the valve closure element upon an increase of force in the radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1985Date of Patent: March 31, 1987Assignee: Daimler-Benz AktiengesellschaftInventors: Manfred Casimir, Paul Graf, Joachim Stumpf
