  • Patent number: 5613776
    Abstract: A thermal shock insert or adaptor is used with an environmental chamber to provide a facility for conducting thermal shock testing. The thermal shock adaptor has a cabinet defining an interior specimen chamber. A chamber opening is provided through the cabinet and a specimen platform which is movable relative to the cabinet is provided to receive and support a test specimen and to move the specimen through the chamber opening, between a first position in which the specimen is contained within the specimen chamber and a second position in which the specimen is contained within the environmental chamber with which the thermal shock adaptor is used. The thermal shock adaptor is also provided with a high temperature plenum, heating coils, and a high temperature controller, all operatively connected with the specimen chamber to maintain the specimen chamber at a selected temperature in accordance with predetermined specifications.

  • Patent number: 3952511
    Abstract: A hydrostatic vehicle drive system having a closed loop front wheel drive circuit and a closed loop rear wheel drive circuit with bi-directional pressure compensating crossover flow between the two closed loop circuits. Another hydrostatic circuit for driving auxiliary equipment also operates as a source of pressurized fluid for charging the wheel drive circuits. The auxiliary hydrostatic circuit includes priority flow to the auxiliary equipment and a flow control with pressure relief means to maintain a constant charging pressure and a predetermined fluid flow for operating the braking circuit as well as charging the wheel drive circuits.
