  • Patent number: 4960370
    Abstract: The rotary piston machine has two internal rotors (2, 3) fixed to a common shaft (12) and two external rotors (4, 5) rigidly interconnected by means of an annular rotor disk (9). The working spaces (16) between the engagement parts of both external rotors (4, 5) extend a maximum extension (19) radially inward past the inner boundary of rotor disk (9). For the axial sealing of the working spaces (16), also in the area of said extension (19), the rotor disk (9) encloses a partition body (15), which surrounds the shaft (12) of the internal rotors (2, 3) by means of a bearing (43). A further bearing (13) is provided between rotor disk (9) and partition body (15). Partition body (15) is prevented from concomitant rotation with one of the two rotary machine parts (9, 12) adjacent thereto as a result of the radial displacement of the shaft (12) engaging therein relative to the rotation axis of rotor disk (9).

  • Patent number: 4754480
    Abstract: A concentrator equipped with two processors is connected via two corresponding channel systems to a higher ranking exchange. Both processors operate independently of each other and poll all subscriber line circuits for switching codes. In the event that a channel system malfunctions, but the concentrator processor is operational, one processor transmits request signals, as well as an emergency operating state signal, to the subscriber line circuits. If the processor itself malfunctions, it transmits request signals and, in addition, an out-of-order state signal. The emergency operating signal and out-of-order signal are stored by each of the subscriber line circuits. Switching codes are transmitted to each of the two processors when both of these processors are in standard operating mode or in emergency mode.

  • Patent number: 4053793
    Abstract: A modular logic circuit capable of performing a plurality of different logic functions is described. A first portion of the modular circuit containing logic elements receives input pulse signals and, responsive to signals received from a control circuit forming a second portion of the modular circuit, produces an output pulse having time position and/or length relationships to the input pulses which are functions of the values of the signals from the control circuit. A third portion of the modular circuit receives input pulses having no relationship to the inputs to the first portion; logic circuits in the third portion receive the latter input pulses and signals from the control circuit and produce another output signal the length and/or time position of which in relation to the input pulses is determined by the signals from the control unit.
