  • Patent number: 6546805
    Abstract: An environmentally sealed service block is mounted inside a field wiring compartment of a process fluid transmitter. The service block has field wiring terminals, sealed jumper assemblies and sealed pushbutton switches connected to a sealed cable and plug. The sealed plug plugs into a permanently sealed transmitter assembly. High impedance programming circuitry connected to the jumper assemblies and pushbutton switches is completely sealed and not subject to malfunction due to contamination present in the field wiring compartment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6253200
    Abstract: A process to access an IMS transaction based computer system from a structured query language (SQL) application program without revising or migrating the transaction based system. Binary virtual table mappings are built. An SQL statement from the SQL application program is parsed. Virtual column to transaction utilization mappings are extracted from the SQL statement. A possible solution set or solution sets are generated which may be capable of satisfying the SQL statement. Thereafter, transaction costs for each potential solution set are determined. Finally, a solution set with the lowest cost to satisfy the SQL statement is executed.

  • Patent number: 5113559
    Abstract: The invention relates to the fixing of staves (10) provided with points (12) to the cylinder (1) of a textile machine drum. Inside the cylinder (1) bars (6) provided with threaded holes (8) are slid. The half-openings (14) of the bases (11) of the staves (10) are facing each other by pairs. The pieces (18) provide for the blocking. Application: time reduction of labor for the mounting and replacement of the staves, possibility of fitting long cylinders with small diameters without the need for the operator to pass his hand inside the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 5031844
    Abstract: The invention comprises a tearing machine of large width. The feeding station is automatic. A centrifugal separator recycles the scraps recovered by the longitudinal pneumatic transport. It recycles them with the new scraps, in the stack with vibrating walls which extends itself over the entire width of the machine. The compartmentalized suction loading devices assure homogeneity of the fibrous cloth. A fibrous cloth of very high quality is produced on an evacuation conveyor belt. This cloth is homogenous over the entire width of the machine, which may extend to several meters.

  • Patent number: 4579377
    Abstract: A locking device to arrest a displaceable member such as a door or window. The device comprises a stop member having a bottom wall and an angulated abutment wall extending thereabove. The abutment wall is inclined rearwardly from an end of the bottom wall. A fastener member is provided and has an adhesive to secure it to a substantially flat surface. A sliding connector is formed between the stop member and fastener member to removably interconnect them together.
