US Patent:

50225570, Jun 11, 1991

Filed:

Sep 20, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/410313

Inventors:

Charles S. Turner - Dallas TX

International Classification:

B67D 508

US Classification:

222 54

Abstract:

A beverage dispensing means includes a pressurized beverage container, a flow meter connected between the pressurized container and a faucet. A valve assembly is attached to the faucet for opening and closing the faucet responsive to an electromechanical actuator. A programmable controller in response to differential pressure indicating signals produced by the flow meter determines the flow rate incrementally and the incremental quantities are accumulated for comparison with a preselected programmed quantity for pouring a preselected quantity of the beverage and actuates the electromechanical actuator for the time necessary to pour the selected amount of beverage. The flow meter includes a line segment of known length, size and material. The known length provides a measurable pressure difference owing to the drag therein as opposed to the measurable pressure difference obtained from the head of a manometer type flow meter. Thus, a substantially larger difference pressure measurement is obtainable.

Appl. No.:

6/165102

Inventors:

Charles E. Turner - Richardson TX

Assignee:

Hi-Mark Industries, Inc. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

F16B 704

US Classification:

403260

Abstract:

A device for attaching a plate (12) to a post (14) with a plurality of rectangular apertures (18) equally spaced about the post (14). A plurality of arms (16) are engaged in the post (14), each arm including a retaining end (30) joined to a flat portion (22) by a waist (28). The end (30) is dimensioned to pass through the longer dimension (32) of the rectangular aperture (18) but not through the shorter dimension (34) of the aperture (18). The waist is dimensioned to fit within the shorter dimension (34) of the aperture (18). The flat portion (22) of the arm (16) has a hole (24) threaded to receive a bolt (20). A leg portion (26) extends from the flat portion for contacting the plate (12). Tightening the bolts (20) clamps the plate (12) into abuttment with the post (14) and the legs (26) of the arms (16).

Appl. No.:

7/281846

Inventors:

Charles S. Turner - Dallas TX

International Classification:

B67D 516
G05B 1300

US Classification:

222 25

Abstract:

A computerized beverage dispensing system in a first embodiment includes a fitting connected to a tap having a thermoelectric heat pump cooled nozzle and an electrically controlled valve, hereinafter valve. A computerized controller is connected to the fitting and tap. The fitting has a constricted passage through which the beverage flows under pressure and pressure and temperature transducers for measuring the pressure difference across the constricted passage and the temperature thereof. The computerized controller includes a pressure to time look up table used for timing valve operation. If abnormal pressure or temperature occurs the valve is cut off unless an override circuit is activated. A front/back display shows messages programmed into the computerized controller. A modified fitting has a Pitot tube measuring the velocity flow for the pressure transducer for use with a velocity/time look up table for timing valve on time.

International Classification:

H02J 906
H02J 704

US Classification:

307 66

Abstract:

Disclosed is a standby power supply system appropriate to supply a set of signal amplifiers within a cable television network. The standby power supply normally operates off of utility company power and alternatively operates from a battery power supply during power failures. Circuitry is disclosed to use battery power during failure mode operation to generate a pulse width modulated alternating current of substantially constant true rms voltage and of substantially constant frequency. Circuitry is also disclosed to cycle charge the battery supply to a desired voltage and then stop the charging cycle and begin timing normal mode operation until another charging cycle. Further, isolating circuitry is disclosed to remove much of the load on the battery supply during normal mode operation. Various safety provisions including soft start provisions, a high current cut off, a low voltage cut off, and protection for the amplification stages is included. Finally, various types of status monitoring equipment are disclosed.

Abstract:

A multi-mode seeker which comprises a stationary antenna and electronic circuitry responsive to signals received by the antenna to cause the antenna to scan a field of view determined by the signals received by the antenna. The seeker has a nose region positioned at the forward portion thereof and an adjunct sensor disposed in the nose region ahead of the antenna. The electronic circuitry includes circuitry for performing a Sum/Delta monopulse processing technique on the signals received by the antenna the Sum/Delta monopulse processing including calculating each of a standard Sum signal, Delta-Azimuth signal and Delta-Elevation signal. The seeker has a boresight axis, the center of the field of view being off boresight, in general. The seeker has a field of regard, the field of regard having plural sectors, each of the sectors having separate predefined compensation.
