  • Patent number: 6264854
    Abstract: The increase of temperature in heat sensitive devices during heat generating conditions is prevented through the absorption of heat, by providing Boric acid in an amount sufficient to effect the required heat absorption. Where the heat generating conditions are generated by a heat generator, separate and distinct from the heat sensitive device, the Boric acid is supported in a position between the heat sensitive device and the heat generator. Where the heat sensitive device is itself the heat generator, the Boric acid is contacted to the heat sensitive device either directly or indirectly.

  • Patent number: 6168818
    Abstract: A cheesecake batter is baked in individual cups as it is continuously moved from one end of an oven to the other. Thereafter, it is cooled by being transferred to a cooling table covered with a hood. The cooling table and the hood are arranged in line with the other end of the oven, and the hood contains a downward laminar sterile air flow to envelop the baked cheesecake batter on the cooling table. In addition, the cooling table and the hood are spaced from the other end of the oven a distance in which the flow of heated vapor from the oven react and create a vacuum, thereby maintaining the baked cheesecake batter under constant sterile conditions, as it moves from the oven to the cooling table.

  • Patent number: 6131297
    Abstract: To provide a gyro compass for the use of a high speed ship, in a gyro compass of the type having north-seeking means which is applied to support a gyro sphere or gyro case immersed in a liquid in a tank, a substantially first-order lag filter is provided in an azimuth follow-up loop or a damping loop, the substantially first-order lag filter having a time constant T.sub.F which is approximately equal to a ratio C/k.sub.T of the viscosity torque coefficient C to the twisting torque coefficient k.sub.T of the torque produced between the tank and the gyro case. A speed error correcting means has a substantially first-order lag filter having a time constant which is approximately equal to that of the north-seeking means, and is applied to correct the output of azimuth indicator by a speed error correcting angle through the substantially first-order lag filter.

  • Patent number: 6113429
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug-type coupling for sheathed electrical cables, particularly for use in mining, with a flexible protective sheath which accommodates electrical conductors of the cable. The end of the sheath is gripped in a pullproof and sealed fashion between a pressed sleeve which surrounds it and an inner backing sleeve, these parts forming part of the coupling which also includes a coupling sleeve which adjoins the pressed sleeve and receives an insert which holds contact elements electrically connected to the electrical conductors. According to the invention, the pressed sleeve is joined to the coupling sleeve to form a one-piece connector to which the insert carrying the contact elements can be coupled in a pullproof fashion by means of a snap connection. The distinctive features of the sheathed cable coupling according to the invention are simplicity of construction, ease of assembly and low production cost.
