the third machine - switching system developed before the first world war was the rotary of the (american) western electric concern (western electric was the manufacturing arm of the bell system). during this period the company was very active in europe and felt the need for an automatic exchange system to sell here. rotary had been developed by the bell system in parallel with the panel system. rotary differed from the latter by using selecting switches with rotary rather than linear motion. both rotary and panel differed from strowger in that they used power - driven sequence and selecting switches controlled by revertive pulsing and also employed digit registers for the wanted number and translation. the rotary system was developed by a group led by f. r. mcberty and was considered less favourable for bell system use than rotary; it was, however, thought fully adequate for use in europe and in 1911 mcberty was sent to western electric' s european plants to set up facilities for further development (antwerp) and production (north woolwich and antwerp) .

in other designs of the system, an on - axis telescope is utilized with an auto - alignment system to align the sensor system and / or beam delivery system with a target. the use of the on - axis telescope simplifies the auto - alignment system. however, a central obscuration created by a secondary mirror results in a matching hole in the output beam. the on - axis telescope configuration, generally, does not operate correctly for beam systems that produce a solid beam profile with no central obscuration. an off - axis, unobscured telescope for the beam delivery system overcomes this problem .

the rotary process presented here is designed for continuous operation and to use the concept of a heat regeneration cycle developed for solid sorption cold production systems. based on the analysis of the thermodynamic cycle followed by the reagent, the system is modeled in the form of counter - flow heat exchangers in series. this allows an estimate of the energy performance of the process in terms of coefficient of performance (cop) and cold production capacity. it appears that for a given set of thermodynamic operating conditions, the number of transfer units (ntu) of the heat exchangers is the parameter, which conditions the value of the cop. a comparison between the rotary system by adsorption and by chemical reaction helps to select the ideal reagent according to the temperature level for cold production .
the auto - alignment system 735 is coupled to the turret payload device 706. the auto - alignment system 735 includes one or more sensors for detecting alignment of the beam. the auto - alignment system 735 communicates commands to the articulated secondary mirror 755 to modify aiming of the high power laser beam and / or any other type of beam. the auto - alignment system 735 communicates commands to the fast steering mirrors 710 and 765 to modify the aiming of the high power laser beam and / or any other type of beam. the auto - alignment system 735 can advantageously communicate commands to the articulated secondary mirror 755 and / or the fast steering mirrors 710 and 765 to correct errors in the aiming of the beam, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system while reducing errors. three angle sensors (not shown) sense an annular auto - alignment reference beam, which originates from the auto - alignment system 735. the annular auto - alignment reference beam is reflected off the fast steering mirrors 710 and 765, the secondary mirror 755, and the primary mirror 740 .

rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications — on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and conveyor speed monitoring to position control on automated industrial machines and robotics. they track the turning of motor shafts to generate digital position and motion information. whether incremental or absolute, magnetic or optical, rotary encoders track motor shaft rotation to generate digital position and motion information. their use proliferates in industrial and commercial designs .
all types of ultrasonic technology can offer improved process speeds, the ability to seal through residual product and the ability to bond through varying thicknesses and layers. however, the rolling contact from a rotary horn enables better sealing over varying material thicknesses like seams and gussets because of the inertia possessed by the system. this can directly lead to less product failures, less waste and more effective seals .
in another embodiment of the present invention, a sonobuoy launch system includes a pressure dome having a door. when the door is closed the pressure dome maintains a pressure difference between a cabin pressure outside the pressure dome and an ambient pressure inside the pressure dome. a gate valve in a floor under the pressure dome allows the pressure difference to be reduced when the gate valve is closed and allows the cabin pressure to be maintained inside the pressure dome so that the door can be opened. a rotary launcher inside the pressure dome rotates a sonobuoy into a loading position and sonobuoys are loaded while the gate valve is closed and the door is open. a pneumatic system connected to the rotary launcher forces the sonobuoy from its slc when the gate valve is open and the door is closed .

another cover system particular suited for open - topped containers is the easy covers® system, also of aero industries, inc. the easy cover® tarping system includes a u - shaped bail member that is pivotably mounted at its ends to the base of the container body. the horizontal section of the u - shaped bail member is attached to the tarp. in one application of the easy cover® tarping system, pulling the horizontal bar of the u - shaped bail member using a rope can manually deploy the tarp. again, the tarp can be wound onto a spring - biased spool at the front end of the dump bed .
magnetic encoders are inherently rugged and operate reliably under shock and vibration and high temperature. magnetic debris ingress can degrade rotary magnetic encoder performance, but other contaminants do not. therefore, rotary magnetic encoders are often used instead of optical encoders. passive variable reluctance or magnetized strips on a rotating code rotor, wheel, or band are sensed by either a hall - effect or magnetoresistive sensor. motor speed and position accuracy dictate which of the two is better suited for an application .
9. the system of claim 7, wherein the beam application is a high energy weapon application and the primary mirror focuses the optical energy onto a target .
higher resolution doesn’t necessarily translate into higher system accuracy, but resolution that’s too low may limit the system' s ability to control speed or position accurately. as implied earlier, incremental encoders with quadrature phasing not only provide directional information, but can increase resolution up to four times when combined with a compatible receiving device .
fig. 5a is a sectional diagram of another exemplary deployed turret system 500 a. the turret system 500 a includes a primary mirror 540 and a telescope 550. the telescope 550 is isolatively mounted to the turret system 500 in such a manner as to minimize the effects of mechanical and / or structural deflection of the turret system 500 that can adversely affect the los of the telescope 550. the primary mirror 540 is mounted to the telescope 550 and recollimates or focuses optical energy based on the beam application. as illustrated in fig. 5a, the turret system 500 a has a laser beam diameter d 1 564 a and a lookdown angle a 1 562 a. the lookdown angle a 1 562 a is the smallest lookdown angle a 1 562 a for the output beam diameter d 1 564 a .
in order to address the needs left unfulfilled by prior devices, the present invention contemplates a hydraulic rotary actuator that is generally centrally mounted on the underside of the container body. the actuator is connected by a pair of half shafts to the legs of the bail member to permit the transmission of rotational motion and torque from the actuator to the bail member. the rotary actuator is in the form of a compact elongated cylinder that is less susceptible to the harsh environment at the vehicle undercarriage.
