  • Force measuring transducer
    Patent number: 7401526
    Abstract: The invention relates to a force measuring transducer with an oscillator (1) with an inductor (2) formed by a primary winding and a gauge (11) with a secondary winding (30) which is connected electroconductively to the gauge (11) and which is disposed in transformer coupling with the inductor (2) of the oscillator (1). Action of a force on the gauge (11) changes the impedance of the gauge (11) and the load of the inductively coupled secondary winding (30). An evaluation circuit (14) is used to determine the resulting frequency change of the oscillator (1) which is proportional to the force acting on the gauge (11).

  • Mechanism for reciprocating a line printer shuttle
    Patent number: 4565127
    Abstract: A rotational movement of a constant speed drive is translated into a linear reciprocating motion having two relatively long, constant slope sections within a cycle, such section occuring in between two sequential reversals, and representing a constant speed. The speed modification is obtained by a universal joint-cross link with oblique axes and a crank output having a linear phase.
