20130052359 | PNEUMATICALLY-DRIVEN JETTING VALVES WITH VARIABLE DRIVE PIN VELOCITY, IMPROVED JETTING SYSTEMS AND IMPROVED JETTING METHODS - An improved pneumatic jetting valve includes a housing with first and second chambers. A pneumatic piston is enclosed between the chambers. First and second solenoid valves are configured to respectively supply air pressure to the chambers and to exhaust the chambers. A controller is operable to regulate the pressurization and venting of the chambers. The controller controls the timing of control signals for the first and second solenoid valves to control the overlap time during which both the first and second chambers are pressurized. By controlling this overlap time, the controller controls the speed of the drive pin of the jetting valve and thereby the speed at which the valve closes to jet a droplet of material. This allows a valve speed to be selected that is most appropriate for the viscosity of the material being jetted. Numerous new methods for utilizing the improved jetting valve and system are disclosed. | 02-28-2013 |

20130199813 | Hydraulic Hammer - A piston cylinder is formed inside a ram and is fitted with a piston attached to a stationary hollow piston rod, creating a upper piston chamber for receiving pressurized hydraulic fluid, which causes the ram to rise as the volume of the upper piston chamber is expanded due to the hydraulic pressure and increasing volume of hydraulic fluid. When the ram reaches predetermined desired height, hydraulic pressure is released by opening a directional valve, allowing the ram to drop. A lower piston chamber is sealed and filled with gas. A moveable shuttle member that reciprocates up and down inside a hollow piston rod in response to the changing volume of the lower piston cylinder, facilitating the evacuation of hydraulic fluid from the upper piston chamber. An alternative embodiment uses a single fluid and has no shuttle member. | 08-08-2013 |
