A water-supply valve, for example for a washing machine, has an actuator rod (600, 602) which is elevated against the downward biasing force of a spring (500, 512) by the magnetic force of a first solenoid (410, 412) generated by applying a voltage thereto. The actuator rod (600, 602) is retained at its uppermost position by attractive forces generated by a permanent magnet (700, 702) and acting o...

A high speed slicing machine (50) feeds one, two, or more food loaves (91) along parallel loaf paths into a slicing station (66) for slicing by one cyclically driven knife blade; the slices are stacked or shingled in groups (92,93) on a receiving conveyor (64) located below the slicing station (66). Independent loaf feed drives are provided; slices cut from one loaf may be thicker than slices from...

Date Jun. 27, 1996Apparatus for measurement concerning fluids in a rotor or container (2) during rotation, comprising an electric or magnetic sensor (4) mounted internally on a wall in the container (2), and means (5A, 5B) for contact-free and intermittent tran...

A control system for a hybrid vehicle including a traction motor (3) having an assisting function of driving a drive shaft (2) of the vehicle by electrical energy and a regenerative function of converting kinetic energy of the drive shaft (2) into electrical energy, a transmission (4) arranged between driving wheels (6) of the vehicle and an internal combustion engine (1) of the vehicle and the tr...

The method involves recording a number of image-producing projections during one rotation of an x-ray source around the object and during a period equal to the period of motion of the body part. The data corresponding to the projections are analyzed to see if they were obtained during a movement phase or a rest phase. The data are only used for image reconstruction if they are obtained during the ...

The knife plate has cutting edges (5) in arrow-shaped configuration, meeting in a central tip (4). A cuttings relief or depression in the leading face (6), trails the cutting edges. The thickness of the blade is relieved (7) from the workpiece towards the rear.; Zum Herstellen einer Fase oder einer Keilnut an einem Werkstück wird das Werkstück bei einem dem Fasen- oder Nutverlauf folgenden Längsvo...

The invention relates to an applicator (A) for applying a liquid impregnation (9) to running threads (2), especially a thread lubricator. The applicator (A) has a rotating applicator element with whose surface (1') at least one transfer mechanism comes into contact, and is equipped with an integrated cleaning device (R) for impurities (L) which collect between the applicator element and the transf...

The apparatus cuts the material with a laser beam (3) using an optical guidance system, a laser (6) shaper, a drive and a cooling arrangement for the separating line (5) section exposed to the laser beam. The cooling device is a liquid bath (2) in which the workpiece to be cut is arranged in a suitable liquid with a gas source to generate a gas flow (4) and an apparatus to shape and direct the gas...

The invention relates to a directional valve with a movable valve piston (5). Said valve piston separates two pressure chambers (6, 8) in the interior of the valve housing from each other which chambers can be impinged upon by a control pressure, thus displacing the valve piston (5) according to the pressure difference between the pressure chambers (6, 8) in axial positions which correspond to res...
