Patent number: 4437214Abstract: In a non-machining method for manufacturing a solid-bottomed or internally flanged bearing race, especially for rolling contact bearings, the starting material is in the form of a band. For the economical manufacture of this bearing race with an annular groove of extremely precise cross-sectional shape which reduces the wall thickness of the bearing race, and which is situated at the transition from the bottom or flange portion to the race portion, a flat roundel is first stamped from the band. Then a concentric annular groove is worked into one of the planar surfaces of the roundel, while the opposite planar surface thereof is supported on a planar supporting surface. Lastly, the roundel is deep-drawn in a die to form a bearing race having a solid bottom. The end face of the drawing punch concentrically engages the roundel's planar surface that is encompassed by the annular groove.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1982Date of Patent: March 20, 1984Assignee: SKF Kugellagerfabriken GmbHInventors: Armin Olschewski, Manfred Brandenstein, Lothar Walter, Peter Horling, Hermann Hetterich, Heinrich Kunkel

Patent number: 4424497Abstract: In a system having a frequency encoded data stream and a source of clock signals phase locked to the data stream, for subsequent demodulation of the data stream, the clock source is at a frequency that is a multiple of the nominal frequency for demodulating, and a counter is employed to divide the clock. The counter is controlled by the output of a phase comparator, to control the addition to and inhibiting of counting of the counter. The control circuit controls the counter in a non-linear relationship with respect to the phase error, and has a memory function for storing previous states of the counter, to permit repetitive correction for small errors in the same manner. The phase comparator and control are preferably a programmed logic array.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1981Date of Patent: January 3, 1984Assignee: Monolithic Systems CorporationInventor: Michael W.
