  • Publication number: 20020015063
    Abstract: A monitoring and control device includes a touch sensitive LCD screen, with a basic layout including a display area and touch sensitive keys depicted with associated system and function symbols. A main menu or any one of plural system menus can be selectively displayed in the display area. The system menus relate to cabin systems such as audio, lighting, and water systems. The selected system menu displays status information and touch input keys for the user to monitor the status and to select and control the operation of the system. The main menu is a top level window providing essential information regarding all of the cabin systems and allows a user to select any one of the system menus. The device is compact, user-friendly, and adaptable to various system requirements by mere software reprogramming. The displays and input keys are all virtual elements generated by software.

  • Patent number: 5147273
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus produce a stack of overlapping, U-folded- or zig-zag-folded individual material sheets, in particular of absorbent paper, that mesh with one another. The stack is formed by two roller systems or roller sets, one for each of two material webs. Each system includes a stacking roller (8, 9) in a stacking station. The two stacking rollers cooperate in the stack formation. Each set of rollers includes at least one cutting roller (11) with a cutting knife (12) for each material web, a transport roller (13), and a pulling and guide roller (14). All rollers are arranged and driven in a machine frame. Each stacking roller (8,9) has at least one crimping- and folding-edge (16,20,21) and at least one tiltable suction gripper flap. At least one suction element (23) is part of the suction gripper flap and at least one further suction element (24) is arranged behind the suction gripper flap or behind the crimping- and folding-edge as viewed in the sheet travel direction.

  • Patent number: 4971550
    Abstract: A burner with an integrated electrical high-voltage igniter and a flame monitor for partly oxidizing gaseous fuels in reactors that are either pressurized or not. A fuel-gas channel communicates with a confusor which opens into an annual fuel-gas nozzle. The fuel-gas channel, furthermore, is surrounded by an annular oxygen channel. Water channels border the confusor and the annular fuel-gas nozzle. The annular fuel-gas nozzle, moreover, has the confusor, and annular nozzle with a reaction zone end, and a diffusor. This diffusor merges into the oxygen channel at an axially parallel radius of curvature. A high-voltage ignition cable extends through the fuel-gas channel and terminates in a metal electrode which is positioned so as to form a spark gap in a space between the tip of the electrode and a metal wall of the burner.
