Abstract: A gate assembly comprising of a track comprising a vertical portion and two angular portions on opposing sides of the hopper. A pair of rectangular gates each comprising a longitudinal edge and opposing lateral edges slidingly engaged on the track allows the gates to move between a lowered, closed position and a raised, open position. A hinge combines the longitudinal edge of each of the pair of rectangular gates and allows them to pivot toward and away from each other during closing and opening, respectively.

Abstract: A measurement device for measuring and adjusting at least one control element of a model helicopter includes an electronic measurement unit (2), and a fastening unit (7) which is or can be connected rigidly to the electronic measurement unit (2) and which is to be mounted on the control element to be measured. To make available a measurement device with which other control elements of a model helicopter can be measured and adjusted, the measurement device (20) is provided for measuring and adjusting the tilt of a swash plate of the model helicopter. The fastening unit (7) can be placed flat at least in some areas on the top and/or the bottom of the swash plate.

Abstract: A charging device controls charging of rechargeable batteries or accumulators (4), which include individual cells (4), having a charging unit (2), by which electrical energy can be applied to the individual cells (5) during the charging procedure. A control unit (3) is used to control the procedure of charging the accumulator (4). A balance controller is used to balance the charging and/or discharging of the individual cells (5) of the accumulator in relation to one another. A connection device is used to electrically connect the cells (5) to the charging device (1) in a detachable manner. The charging device (1) is equipped with a wireless ID reader, which makes it possible to wirelessly read the ID (identification) of an accumulator (4) equipped with an ID label, and a data file (11) for each ID can be generated in the charging device (1).

Abstract: A method of deactivating an allergen comprises dispersing into an airspace containing or able to support said allergen an allergen-deactivating amount of an allergen-deactivating compound, the compound comprising one or more of the following compounds: a citrus oil; a mint oil; bois de rose oil; oil of jasmine; frankincense; oil of bergamot; and oil of lemon grass.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new limiting signal circuit configuration for the connection of a pulse-width modulation motor controller integrated circuit. This new circuit allows for increased control over the over-current protection scheme while increasing the maximum available current levels. The invention utilizes a resistor based voltage divider connected to an input power source to provide a sliding scale current limiting signal in proportion to the input voltage. This method provides protection in relationship to the incoming power signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a new type of an electromechanical actuator that combines two rotary outputs from a solitary electrical input into a single molded housing. The actuator comprises an input assembly responsive to an external electrical control source. Preferably, the control source provides a control signal for each valve door to be controlled. The actuator also comprises a first geartrain assembly responsive to the input control assembly and a second geartrain assembly responsive to the input control assembly. The first geartrain assembly includes a first motor responsive to the input control assembly. A first output gear is operably connected to the first motor and a first rotatable output coupler is connected to the first output gear. The second geartrain assembly includes a second motor responsive to the input control assembly. A second output gear is connected to the second motor and a second rotatable output coupler is connected to the second output gear.

Abstract: With a punching machine with at least one punching carriage, which can be moved transverse to the advance direction of a material belt, with a piston cylinder unit arranged in the punching carriage, which effects the punching stroke of a tool stamp and, with an abutment for receiving a tool die-plate, it should be guaranteed that, a female die is always realized absolutely exactly below the punching material opposite the male die. This is achieved in that, the abutment is firmly arranged in a defined position to the piston cylinder unit in the punching carriage carrying the piston cylinder unit.
