Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulic steering system (100) for a vehicle, especially a mobile working machine, comprising at least two steering cylinders (1, 2) within which two cylinder pistons (3, 4) can be displaced, and a first hydraulic pump (14) that can be adjusted regarding the swept volume. The position or the direction of displacement of the cylinder pistons (3, 4) in the steering cylinders (3, 4) defines the steering angle or the steering direction of the steerable vehicle wheels relative to a body (5) of the vehicle. The displaceable cylinder pistons (3, 4) divide the associated steering cylinder (1, 2) into two respective pressure chambers (6 and 7, 8 and 9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a control and adjustment system for a lifting mechanism (100) of a loading blade (6) in a mobile machine tool. Said lifting mechanism is made up of at least one first and second blade cylinder (1, 2), at least one first and second lifting cylinder (61, 62) and one first and second hydropump (15, 75) which can be adjusted with regard to the pump volume. The adjusting pistons (3, 5) which can be displaced in the first and second blade cylinders (1, 2), respectively, separate both blade cylinders (1, 2) into two adjusting pressure chambers (7 and 8, 9 and 10). The adjusting pistons (63, 65) which can be displaced in the two lifting cylinders (61, 62) respectively separate the two lifting cylinders (61, 62) into the two adjusting pressure chambers (67 and 68, 69 and 70) in an analogous manner.

Abstract: A method for avoiding a collision of a rotating rotor blade of a rotary-wing aircraft with a blade vortex, and a device for executing the method. An aerodynamic parameter of the rotor blade of a rotary-wing aircraft is controlled, (for example, variation of the angle of incidence of the blade or profile variation of the blade), using a signal processing device that includes at least one open-loop and/or closed-loop control device, in such a way that a collision of the rotor blade with blade vortices becomes avoidable. The frequency content from the signal of the sound-pressure sensors is rapidly and precisely found. The harmonics are progressively adapted. A lesser calculation requirement per step and increase accuracy, as compared with an FFT analysis, is provided.

Abstract: A hydraulic control arrangement for a mobile working machine has at least one hydraulic cylinder with the aid of which a working tool is moved, a directional control valve for controlling pressure-fluid channels between chambers of the hydraulic cylinder, a pressure-fluid source and a tank, a hydraulic accumulator connected to the pressure-fluid source via a filling line, and a control valve to open and to close a connection between the hydraulic accumulator and a pressure chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. To achieve a damping of pitching movement of the machine, a pilot-operated shutoff valve is connected upstream of the pressure chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, and opens when the directional control valve is actuated to allow pressure fluid to flow off from the pressure chamber to the tank.

Abstract: An hydraulic control arrangement which is chiefly used for a mobile working machine, especially for a wheel loader, and has at least one hydraulic cylinder with the aid of which a working tool can be moved, a directional control valve for controlling the pressure-fluid channels between the hydraulic cylinder, a pressure-fluid source and a tank, a hydraulic accumulator which can be connected to the pressure-fluid source via a filling line, and a control valve with the aid of which a connection between the hydraulic accumulator and the hydraulic cylinder can be controlled to open and close. The aim of such a hydraulic control arrangement is to avoid undesired movements of the hydraulic cylinder. This is achieved wherein the fact that the hydraulic accumulator can be filled up only when the directional control valve is actuated.

Abstract: A mold for casting ground covering, such as a plurality of stepping stones, has a generally polygon concrete molding frame having top and bottom surfaces in parallel planes and divided into openings. The frame is generally square and may include nesting polygonal configurations. Each wall has a plan shape of contiguous line segments connected at obtuse angles. A first diagonal wall extends approximately from the first corner to the third corner, and a second diagonal wall extends approximately from the second corner to the fourth corner. The first perimeter wall is geometrically congruent with the third perimeter wall and the second perimeter wall is geometrically congruent with the fourth perimeter wall. The diagonal walls are geometrically congruent with the second and fourth perimeter walls.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a control apparatus for independently operating at least two users. The users can be the tilt cylinders and the lift cylinders of a loader. The control apparatus provides for the adjustment of the control valves and for the adjustment of the pressure control apparatus of the variable displacement pump means in dependency of each other. In accordance with the invention, the control position of the control spool of the control valve controlling the user with the largest load provides for a measure (or for the adjustment) of the pressure control device of the variable displacement pump. In this manner an extremely effective and economic operation of the hydraulic system comprising the control apparatus and the users is obtained.

Abstract: A transmission/reception module suitable for use in electronically phase-controlled antennas for a synthetic aperture radar includes a circulator provided for each individual radiator element terminal to achieve vertical and horizontal polarization. A low-noise amplifier is connected to the circulator in the reception path. A high-power amplifier is connected to the circulator in the transmission path. The two separate polarization reception channels each include a low-noise amplifier. The two separate polarization transmission channels each include a high-power amplifier. The reception channels and transmission channels are respectively connected to a polarization change-over. Switching arms of the polarization change-over are then connected to either the reception contact or the transmission contact of the transmission/reception switch.

To stabilize vibrations of the tool around the pitch axis, a hydraulic accumulator is provided to be connected to a pressure source via a fill line. A shut-off valve is disposed in the fill line, which valve is subjected to the pressure in the accumulator such that in operating the cylinder the accumulator is loaded to a pressure corresponding to the load pressure. The system is very simple in structure and fluid losses are eliminated.

Abstract: Process for treating a gaseous mixture under pressure to remove unwanted components from a gas, including methane, ethane, hydrogen, nitrogen, such components as C.sub.3, C.sub.4 and C.sub.5 higher hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. The gaseous mixture is fractionated under pressure to remove in bottoms product portions of higher hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. The overhead product is scrubbed to remove in a suitable solvent a substantial portion of or all of the remaining higher hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide.
