  • Patent number: 5741126
    Abstract: A valveless positive displacement pump with a closed end cylinder has fluid inlet and outlet ports adjacent to the closed end. A piston is reciprocally and rotatively driven in the cylinder. The piston is provided with crisscrossed helical slots formed thereon which communicate specifically with the inlet and outlet ports for pumping fluid through the positive displacement pump. The piston is rotated by a drive shaft connected to a motor and reciprocated by an cam actuator mechanism cooperating with the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 5068512
    Abstract: The device disclosed comprises a high-pressure autoclave in which a moulded blank of the sample is heated by means of laser beams to the melting point and then rapidly cooled. The sample is maintained in a processing position (2) in an autoclave (1) without contact by means of an acoustic levitation device (12). Laser beams are directed through windows (19) in the autoclave onto the processing position and heat the sample. The molten sample then passes between two mutually impacting dies (20,21) by which it is crushed and thus rapidly cooled.

  • Patent number: 4966737
    Abstract: A method and a device for manufacturing a powder of amorphous ceramic or metallic particles in a high pressure autoclave. The substance in the liquid state is pressed out of a nozzle (7) upwards in vertical direction. An acoustic levitation field acts on the area in front of the nozzle orifice (12) and an inert cooling gas is made to flow turbulently in this area so that the droplets sprayed out of the nozzle are rapidly cooled and get solidified to grains. The powder can be directly machined by pressing and sintering into objects of the desired shape.

  • Patent number: RE31741
    Abstract: A motor-vehicle seat hinge has an upper hinge element secured to the back part of the seat and a lower hinge element secured to the seat part, a positioning plate securable at any of a plurality of angularly offset positions and coacting with an abutment on the upper element to define the rest position for the seat back. An inertial two-arm pawl is pivoted on the upper hinge element and has on one arm a stop face which is engageable with the positioning plate in a blocking position of this pawl to prevent forward pivoting of the back seat. The other arm of the pawl is weighted so as normally to pivot from the blocking position into a freeing position when the back part is slowly pivoted forwardly but to resist due to its inertia the change of its position when the back part is subject to an abrupt forward movement.
