Filed:

Aug 15, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/930549

Inventors:

Lars Ivan Sjoholm - Burnsville MN
Gregory Gordon Anderson - Bloomington MN

Assignee:

Thermo King Corporation - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

F04C 1816

US Classification:

4182012, 418 1, 29888023

Abstract:

A screw compressor having an unloader valve with a movable valve member, the unloader valve being capable of indicating when the valve member is installed incorrectly. The valve member is manufactured such that if it is installed incorrectly it provides a leakage path sufficiently large to be detected during full load testing of the compressor. When the screw compressor fails the load test, the compressor is partially disassembled, and the valve is reinstalled in the proper orientation and the compressor is re-tested. The valve member leakage path is provided while maintaining low costs for production and assembly of the compressor.

US Classification:

206307100, 206232000

Abstract:

The invention is an article comprising a housing having a bottom wall and a top wall supportively engaged to the top wall. The top wall defines a slot extending through the top wall for sheet material. A voice recorder is secured to the housing. In one embodiment of the invention, a stack of sheet material is positioned within the housing. The stack includes plurality of vertically aligned sheets of material which are releasably adhered to each other along opposite edges of successive sheets by a narrow band of pressure-sensitive adhesive. A first sheet of material is capable of passing through the slot in the top wall of the housing. In a second embodiment of the invention, sheet material disposed in a roll is positioned within the housing. A continuous stripe of a narrow band of pressure-sensitive adhesive is disposed generally proximate to one longitudinal edge of the sheet material. A transverse edge of the sheet material is capable of passing through the slot in the top wall of the housing. In an additional embodiment, the voice recorder is releasably attached to the dispenser housing. In yet another embodiment, the voice recorder formed integrally in the housing.

Appl. No.:

7/965126

Inventors:

Gregory W. Anderson - Plymouth MN
Christopher B. Fink - Willow Grove PA
Bruce L. Mickelson - Cambridge MN

Assignee:

Honeywell Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

F23N 520

US Classification:

431 6

Abstract:

A burner control system with an interrupted or intermittent type of pilot burner has a special feature allowing transitions between a pilot flame hold state where the pilot flame only burns and the run state where the main burner is operating. Each transition to the pilot flame hold state from the run state comprises a brief period in which presence of the pilot flame is assured while the main flame is extinguished. Transitions to the run state from the pilot flame hold state may proceed directly through the main flame establishment period to the run state, thereby eliminating the time-consuming purging and pilot flame ignition phases.

Assignee:

Thiele Engineering Company - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

B65G 4746

US Classification:

198365

Abstract:

A device for use in packaging apparatus in which an article is carried on a first conveyor and is transferred to a second conveyor during continuous motion of the conveyors. A transfer mechanism including a cam follower is engageable by a cam track underlying the first conveyor to actuate the transfer mechanism for effecting the transfer operation. A selective direction or bypass device engages the cam follower to guide it to either engagement with the cam track to either effect a transfer operation or to bypass the cam track so that the transfer operation is not effected. The bypass device includes a guide track that engages the cam follower that is mounted on a pivot pin on a frame member of the first conveyor adjacent to the upstream ends of the first conveyor and the cam track. The guide track is movable laterally with respect to the cam track and has a quarter circular profile so as to engage the cam follower as the cam follower travels about the conveyor sprocket. The guide track is automatically pivoted in response to a sensed condition on the first and second conveyor by a pneumatic cylinder operatively connected to the guide track.

International Classification:

F23N 500

US Classification:

364550

Abstract:

The present invention is a method and apparatus for changing fuels used in a heating system without substantially recycling the heating system where a main flame burns fuel supplied to the heating system. A fuel changeover signal is received from a fuel selector. Flow of a first fuel to the heating system is regulated in response to the fuel changeover signal to achieve a low fire state in the heating system. A pilot flame is established in the heating system and flow of the first fuel is shut off. A fuel indicator signal is received from the fuel selector indicating a desired fuel. The main flame in the heating system which is burning the first fuel is extinguished. The pilot flame is monitored for stability and the main flame is re-established in the heating system burning the desired fuel in response to the fuel indicator signal.

International Classification:

C08K 2000

US Classification:

525440

Abstract:

Hot melt adhesive compositions combining the characteristics of thermoplastic hot melt adhesives and reactive adhesives can be prepared by blending a polyester polyether thermoplastic elastomer having the formula ##STR1## wherein Nu is a predominately cyclic nucleus and R. sub. 1 is randomly selected from either a C. sub. 2-6 alkylene or an amorphous polyether subunit comprising a polyoxyalkylene group with a polyisocyanate prepolymer. The resulting composition is flexible and may be used as an adhesive or as a sealant.
