  • Publication number: 20240068408
    Abstract: A system includes an injector having a scheduling valve assembly and a nozzle in fluid communication with the valve assembly. The scheduling valve assembly is configured for regulation of flow from an inlet of the injector to the nozzle. The injector includes two fluid circuits between the inlet of the injector and two respective outlets of the nozzle for staged flow output from the nozzle. A first one of the two fluid circuits is a primary circuit, and a second one of the two fluid circuits is a secondary circuit. A solenoid valve is connected in fluid communication with the scheduling valve assembly, wherein the solenoid valve is configured to adjust position of a hydromechanical valve spool of the valve assembly.

  • Patent number: 4999771
    Abstract: Data messages are transmitted between host data processors and a communications processor. Data messages from a communications processor are transformed for the host processor to which the message is assigned. Data messages from a host processor are transformed for the communications processor. Protocol is established between (a) untransformed data messages from the communications processor and transformed data messages for the communications processor, and (b) untransformed data messages from each host processor and transformed data messages for each host processor. A device interface connects a plurality of host processors to a plurality of buses, each bus being connected to one communications processor. The device interface handles the protocol, transformation and control function in parallel so that messages between a given host processor and terminal connected to a communications processor are processed through a device interface.

  • Patent number: 4514692
    Abstract: Eddy current type metal detector for locating and distinguishing between metal objects of different types in the ground or other surroundings. Differentiation is employed to eliminate signals from the ground soil or other material in which the object is located, and objects of a particular type are detected from the phases of signals which they produce.

  • Patent number: 4117266
    Abstract: A connection across telephone lines includes a resistor having a shunted capacitor circuit holding a normally closed relay open and permitting it to close on closing the telephone circuit, by lifting the handset, to activate a recorder. Replacing the handset opens the circuit shutting off the recorder. A current limiting resistance in the recorder switch circuit prevents damage to the relay while the capacitor provides high current for activating the the relay solenoid. A bridge circuit eliminates polarity of the magnetically biased relay.

  • Patent number: 4115658
    Abstract: A two-way telephone amplifier uses a microphone-speaker switching system with the microphone normally on. Incoming or off-line voice signal causes switching to open the transmit line and close the receive line. Features of the invention include a bridge circuit with transmit and receive lines all connected to one side of the secondary of a telephone line coupling transformer.
