Abstract: An equipment enclosure free air cooling assembly includes an air outlet arranged to deliver air to inside an equipment enclosure and an air inlet arranged to receive air from outside the equipment enclosure. An air flow pathway is provided through which air entering the air inlet must pass to reach the air outlet. An adjustable screen assembly has a screen filter element. An adjustment mechanism is operable to selectively utilize different regions of the screen filter element for filtering air passing through the air flow pathway at different times.

Abstract: An equipment enclosure with temperature control components, an equipment enclosure temperature control unit, an equipment enclosure temperature control method, and various modular temperature control subassemblies are respectively disclosed for controlling the temperature of equipment in an equipment chamber. The temperature control components and unit may be implemented with a modular design wherein an air-conditioning unit is selectively mountable on an air handler assembly. The temperature control components and unit may support air-conditioning, free-air-cooling, free-air-cooling-with-return, and heating modes of operation. An emergency-free-air-cooling mode of operation may also be supported.

Abstract: An equipment enclosure includes an air exhaust opening and an air intake opening at respective upper and lower regions of the enclosure, and an interior equipment chamber configured to house controlled temperature equipment at a controlled temperature equipment area. A temperature diverter system includes a warm air exhaust subsystem and a warm air circulation subsystem. The warm air exhaust subsystem is operable to vent warm air in the enclosure through the air exhaust opening in order to cool the controlled temperature equipment area. The warm air circulation subsystem is operable to circulate warm air in the enclosure to the controlled temperature equipment area in order to warm that area. The equipment enclosure further includes one or more temperature sensors and a temperature controller for controlling operations of the warm air exhaust subsystem and the warm air circulation system based on input from the temperature sensor(s).

Abstract: A low cost control system for precise positioning employs an a.c. motor and a variable frequency power source for the motor. When the desired position is approached, the frequency of the source is decreased to a low constant value, and the motor is stopped in timed relation to the leading edge of a feedback signal from a position responsive feedback sensor.

Abstract: A control system for an NC machine incorporates a personal computer and an auxiliary control having an auxiliary microprocessor connected together and with the machine, via communication channels The personal computer and auxiliary controller are both provided with apparatus for controlling operations in a plurality of sequences, all of which run simultaneously, without requiring any modification in the normal operating system of the personal computer. The control program of the auxiliary controller is downloaded from the personal computer, and the sequences in both contain a number of consecutive states for each sequence, with each state characterized by one or more instructions and an operational time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ensuring sheet separation of a single sheet workpiece from a stack of workpiece sheets which consists of a lifting assembly having at least three spaced sets of sheet workpiece holding suction members with at least a poriton of one set being reciprocatable in a vertical movement to cause flexure of a sheet being raised by the lifting device to cause separation of an underlying sheet which may have adhered to the sheet being lifted.
