Patent number: 5907134Abstract: Air gap-insulated exhaust pipe (2) with a sliding fit (16) between two inner pipe sections (12, 14) in a middle area of the length of the exhaust pipe (2). A radial mounting (26) of the inner pipe (6) in the outer pipe (4) is provided in the area of a bend (20) or beyond the bend (20), which joins the leg (18) of the exhaust pipe (2) in which the sliding fit (16) is located. In terms of manufacturing technique, the radial mounting (26) may be prepared before or after the bending of the double-pipe arrangement. The sliding fit (16) may be prepared, even in the case of a straight exhaust pipe, manifold, or the like, by using a spacer sleeve (40) and joint calibration of the pipe ends of the inner pipe sections (12, 14), and the spacer sleeve burns off at the time the exhaust pipe is put into operation for the first time. As an alternative, the sliding fit (16) may also be prepared by polygon calibration and rotating the pipe ends by half the pitch of the polygon.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 1995Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: J.

Patent number: 5906720Abstract: A process for preparing a phosphor layer of a cathode ray tube. To prepare a phosphor layer located on the display screen rear side of the cathode ray tube, the display screen rear side is first coated with an electrically conductive electrode layer consisting of electrically conductive polymers; a solution containing the phosphors or their precursors as well as a solution containing an electrolyte are deposited on the electrode layer; an electric field is applied between the electrode layer and the solution; and the phosphors are electrophoretically deposited on the electrode layer to form the phosphor layer. Since polymers with an evaporation temperature below the destruction temperature of the phosphors are selected, the electrode layer can subsequently be removed by evaporating the polymers.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1997Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: AEG Elektronische Rohren GmbHInventors: Mona Ferguson, Michael Gailberger, Karl Holdik, Anja Keller, Gunter Maetze, Gerhard Gassler

Patent number: 5907566Abstract: A continuous byte stream encoder/decoder process where a continuous stream of ATM data cells is received with a plurality of words, where each word has a plurality of bits in parallel. The ATM data cell is analyzed and new control words are created to convey information such as Start-of-Cell, parity and synchronization signals for the serializer and deserializer chip set. These control words are combined with the data words of the ATM data cell to form a combined word stream. This word stream having a higher word transfer rate than the original ATM data cell. This combined word stream is fed to a known 8B/10B encoder which further modifies the data for proper transmission over an AC coupled serial path. Data from the 8B/10B decoder is then serialized through known serialization/deserialization chip sets passed over the serial path and then deserialized back into an recombined word stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1997Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Miles Benson, Myles Kimmitt, Dan Ater

Patent number: 5899096Abstract: A device for needle-by-needle selection in circular stocking knitting machines is disclosed. An elastic lock pin or segment (19) is provided for each lower needle (13) of the type having an elastic deflection tail. The segment is carried by a crown (22) fixed with the cylinder and usually in a position shifted downwards away from the tail of the lower needle. A thruster (20) is provided under the lock segment, which can be moved upwards and is intended to deflect the lock segment (19) up to the level of interception with the tail of the lower needle (13). This results in a locking of the lower needle in the deflected, inoperative position. A selection electromagnet (21) is provided which can be activated and deactivated according to a program to hold or release the lock segment. The activation/deactivation keeps the inoperative lower needle locked or releases it because it is moved towards the outside into the operating position.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1998Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Sangiacomo S.p.A.Inventor: Fulvio Sangiacomo

Patent number: 5899683Abstract: In a process for operating a gas blower burner, a control circuit detects an ionization signal Ui derived from an ionization electrode, and it adjusts the gas-to-air ratio to a lambda set point >1, to which a set point Uis of the ionization signal corresponds. To guarantee low-emission combustion in different operating states, a range of control of the ionization signal Ui is set, whose upper limit value Uio is smaller than the maximum of the ionization signal Ui, and whose lower limit value Uiu is above the value that guarantees low-emission operation. A switch-off signal is generated for the burner if the ionization signal Ui leaves the permissible range of control RB for longer than a preset period of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1997Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Stiebel Eltron GmbH & Co.
