Abstract: Provision is made for an improved method, assembly and a connector apparatus for assembling together a plurality of panels. The connector apparatus includes structure which forms a sealing material reservoir and which can form panel cavities when a panel is seated on the apparatus. The channel type reservoir facilitates the even application of sealant material to the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating a gas stream with a liquid includes a housing containing an eliminator section for removing liquid from the gas and, adjacent to and upstream of the eliminator section with respect to the gas flow, vertical angle liquid collectors mounted on side walls of the housing to remove from the gas stream large amounts of liquid which flow along the side walls. A plate member depends from a top wall of the housing and another plate member extends up from adjacent the bottom wall of the housing to deflect toward a central portion of the eliminator liquid-laden portions of the gas stream which travel along the top and bottom walls. Baffles upstream of the eliminator are adjustable to control the flow of gas through the apparatus. The eliminator includes a plurality of sawtooth blades defining zigzag paths for the gas, each blade including a plurality of planar members each having at least one vertical groove adjacent its trailing end to remove liquid from the gas and permit it to drain.

Abstract: Air flow to a burner as controlled by the rotatable movement of an apertured plate relative to a fixed aperture plate, the rotation thereof being controlled as a function of the quantity, pressure, and/or flow of the fuel to the burner.

Abstract: An integral gas compressor-prime mover utilizes the prime mover power shaft (18) to drive a crank plate (20). The plate (20) includes a plurality of securing sites (40) among which a crank pin (24) is selectably securable for changing the stroke length of the reciprocating compressor piston (56). A crosshead connector asembly (32) is provided to linearize the motion of the crank pin (24).

Abstract: A liquid level control device including reciprocating magnet shuttle valve means that is moved to control a liquid flow due to the movement of a float lever magnet, magnet means in response to a change in a selected liquid level.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for absorbing a portion of the moisture removed from material woven on a fluid-jet loom. A shed of warp yarns is formed in the loom and a fluid jet is used to feed weft yarns into the warp yarns for forming a length of woven material. An opening extends at least the width of the length of material, and the material is moved over the opening. Air is pulled through the opening for removing moisture from the length of material as it moves over the opening. The air has a temperature greater than that of the surrounding atmosphere. The improvement includes reducing the temperature of the moisture-laden air to at least the dew point of the surrounding atmosphere for reducing the moisture content of the air before the air enters said surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract: An energy conservation enthalpy control system utilizes a sensing unit for sensing the wet bulb temperature of sampled air, both outside air and return air, under conditions which approximate adiabatic saturation. The unit includes a housing adapted to pass filtered air through the unit. Water circulated throughout from a sump in the housing is intimately contacted and mixed with the air by a spray or an evaporative pad. A temperature sensing element located in the sump or in the airstream provides a signal indicating the wet bulb temperature of the air under adiabatic saturation conditions. The unit provides the inputs to a control system which operates to coordinate the operations of return air dampers, outside air dampers, and air conditioning equipment.
