  • Patent number: 5421845
    Abstract: The present invention shows a cleaning system for dislodging the collected dust from filter media in a low pressure high capacity gas stream filter. In the preferred embodiment, pressurized gas from an external tank is ducted through a revolving arm which stretches radially across a pie-shaped segment of a tube sheet separating a clean gas plenum from a dirty gas plenum in a bag collection gas filtration system. The ducted gas is intermittently discharged from the rotating arm through multiple orifices into a venturi contained within the openings in the tube sheet as these orifices are above the individual filter elements.

  • Patent number: 5336981
    Abstract: A control unit for an electric drive motor of industrial processing machinery includes a control arrangement which drives a pair of magnets generating a magnetic flux and a Hall effect sensor disposed between the magnets so as to be swept by the magnetic flux rotatively with respect to each other; the Hall effect sensor outputs an electric signal which varies consistently with the position setting of the control arrangement and drives the electric motor accordingly; the movement of the control arrangement is resisted by springs having different degrees of stiffness from one another; proper interaction can thus be established between the operator and the machine.
