The invention relates to a method of synchronizing clocks contained in a local network of bus type, such as Ethernet and a system of synchronizing clocks. In local networks of this kind a number of nodes are connected to a common data channel. The object of the invention is to obtain a method and a system of synchronizing the clocks which is more accurate than previous methods and systems, in whic...

PURPOSE:To apply the engine brakes automatically at the optimal time, by discriminating that braking is necessary when the engine load drops quickly and further drops below a preset level in a certain time from the quick drop. CONSTITUTION:A signal from a load sensor 102 in accordance with the state of a throttle valve is put out into a load fluctuation detecting circuit 103 which generates a sign...

1. Miniature electric circuit breaker with moulded casing comprising : - a cut off chamber (30) enclosed by two electrodes (38, 40) to guide the arc, disposed to pick up an arc drawn between contacts (20, 22) when they get separated, - an electromagnetic trip device (28) having a coil (68) and a plunger (74) controlling a release latch (58) when a fault occurs to induce the automatic opening of sa...

This invention is related to a method of making a lead storage battery with a thixotropic gel as electrolyte consisting substantially of a sulphuric acid and a gelling agent. The object is to provide a lead storage battery which is maintenance free, leak-proof and of a long cycle life while permitting filling of the electrolyte independently of the plate dimensions including the superficial extent...

An element stack and a method of making same is provided in which assembling a relatively large number of relatively small electrode plates into an element stack is facilitated by positioning a first set of electrode plates onto a strip of separator material in pre-selected locations and then affixing such plates to the strip. The resulting product may then be readily processed into the element st...

Device to stiffen and keep apart annular discs secured in rotation to the rotor shaft of a hammer mill. U-shaped edge elements 6 are mounted on the periphery of annular discs 2, which they straddle by their wings 11. The back 7 of one element rests on the back of the neighbouring element. Each back 7 has a recess for accommodating and rotating the hammers 4, mounted so as to be able to rotate and ...

A water heater including a water tight tank having a tank wall and top and bottom head members welded thereto. A combustion chamber and burner are mounted beneath the bottom head. A pair of concentrically arranged jacket members are mounted around the tank wall with the space between the jacket members serving as a flow passageway through which combustion air flows downwardly to the combustion cha...
