SPIRAL METERING VALVE Filed May 9, 1967 /f Z r I park, [fir/z) ///0/'//4 United States Patent US. Cl. 12390 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention comprises a metering valve for use in a hydraulic tappet or valve lifter. The metering valve is located within the hollow plunger of the hydraulic tappet. There is an opening from the interior of the hollow tappet into the cup in which the end of the hollow pushrod is located. The valve is positioned near this opening and is adapted to be seated against the member in which the opening is located. The valve comprises a generally flat imperforate disk which has formed in each face a generally spiral raised portion. The raised portion of the side of the disk opposite the member in which the opening is formed comprises the sole part of the disk which seats in this direction. The ends of each spiral overlap and are out of contact. The two spirals are provided merely to simplify assembly and to make sure that the disk is assembled in the tappet so that one spiral will always be in position to move to seat. Only one spiral is active at a time and the spiral on the opposite face of the disk is inactive since it is faced in the direction of the interior of the tappet plunger.
An object of the invention is to provide a metering disk which may be readily assembled in a tappet plunger and which is so shaped that it cannot be wrongly assembled.
A further object is to provide a metering valve disk of such design that it can be readily and cheaply formed in such shape that it will adequately perform the metering function.
Another object is to provide the necessary seating portions on the valve disk in such shape and disposition that they will distribute the inevitable wear on the valve seat over as wide an area as possible.
The invention is illustrated diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal section through a valve tappet in which the metering valve disk may be positioned.
FIGURE 2 is a plan view on an enlarged scale of the metering valve disk.
FIGURE 3 is a transverse section taken at line 3-3 of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the bottom of the cup illustrating a modified form, and
FIGURE 5 is a side elevation of a modified form of disk to be used with the modified cup of FIGURE 4.
Like numerals will be used to designate like parts in the following description of the drawings.
As shown in FIGURE 1, the tappet comprises a cylinder 1 having a closed end 2 and an open end 3. The cylinder may be reduced in its external diameter as at 4. It is provided with oil openings 5 and 6. The cylinder is enlarged internally as at 7 and is provided with a shoulder 8. The cylinder is also enlarged internally as at 9 to provide an annular space with which the passage 6 communicates. The cylinder is provided adjacent its open end with a groove 10, within which a locking or limiting ring 11 may be positioned.
Mounted for reciprocation within the cylinder 1 is a plunger or piston 12 which is provided with an internal chamber 13 and an open end 14. The open end may be closed by a valve 15 which is positioned within a cage 16 mounted on the reduced portion 17 of the plunger. A spring 18 is positioned within the cylinder 1 and bears at one end against the bottom of the cylinder and at the otherend against a shoulder 19 formed adjacent the reduced portion 17 of the plunger 12. A spring 20 may be positioned within the cage 16 and may be biased to move the valve 15 to seating position against the outer end of the reduced portion 17. In some installations, the spring 20 may be omitted and there will be no spring effective to move the valve 15 to the seating position. In that case, the movement of the valve Will be determined by pressure conditions within the tappet or by inertia, or both.
At its upper end, the plunger 12 is internally enlarged as at 21 to provide a shoulder 22. A plug 23 is seated and fixed within the portion 21. As shown, the plug is provided with a rounded cup shaped depression 24, within which the rounded end of a hollow pushrod may be seated. The member 23 is also provided with a passage 25, by means of which oil may move from the chamber 13 to the cup 24 for movement to the pushrod. The member 23 is provided with a generally fiat face 26 against which the metering disk may be seated.
The disk itself is shown in detail in FIGURES 2 and 3 and is shown only generally in FIGURE 1. The disk comprises a generally flat member 27 which is circular in plan, as shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, and is of less diameter than the portion 21 of the plunger so that oil may pass around the edges of the disk in its movement to the passage 25.
On each face of the disk is a raised portion of generally spiral plan. There is thus a raised portion 28 shaped on one face of the disk and a raised portion 29 shaped on the opposite face. It is important to notice that the ends 30* and 31 of the spiral 28 are out of contact with each other and overlap each other. Thus, the spiral 28 extends about more than a circle. Similarly, the ends 32 and 33 of the spiral 29 overlap each other and are out of contact with each other. Thus, each of the spirals provides a metering passage between its ends. Each of these passages is effective when one of the spirals is seated against the surface 26. There is thus a metering opening between the ends 30 and 31 and another metering opening on the opposite face of the disk between the ends 32 and 33. Since only one of the spirals is seated on the seat 26 at a given time, only one of the metering openings is effective at a time.
The two spirals are provided merely as an aid in assembly. Experience has shown that in assembly, if only one spiral were provided on one face of the disk, an operator might carelessly position the disk so that the spiral faced the chamber 13. In that case, it could never seat upon the seat 26 and no metering effect would occur. Where two spirals are provided, one on each face of the disk, it is immaterial how the disk is assembled since one spiral will always be in position facing the seat 26 and adapted to seat upon it.
In the modified from of FIGURE 4, the metering spiral, instead of being formed on the disk 27, is formed in the bottom surface 26 of the cup 24 and comprises a raised member 34 of spiral plan having two overlapping ends 35 and 36 between which a metering gap or opening 37 is defined. With the modified cup member of FIGURE 4, a flat valve disk 38 is used.
The use and operation of the invention are as follows:
The metering disk, as shown in the figures, is assembled in a tappet. One of the spirals, whichever is faced toward the seat 26, may seat against it when conditions within the tappet move the disk against the seat 26. The other times, the disk may rest upon the shoulder 22 which merely limits its movement away from the seat 26. When conditions Within the tappet move the disk from the position of FIGURE 1 so that the spiral 28, for example, is seated against the seat 26, the spiral 28 acts as a metering valve. When the disk is in that position, with the spiral 28 seated against the face 26, the distance or space between the ends 30 and 31 of the spiral constitutes the metering opening through which oil, after having passed about the edge of the disk, may move into the passage 25 for the discharge from the plunger.
The modified form illustrated in FIGURES 4 and 5 operates generally the same as the form of FIGURES l, 2 and 3. The disk 38 is positioned between the shoulder 22 and the surface 26. When pressure conditions within the plunger cause the disk to be moved away from the shoulder 2 2 and to contact the raised spiral 34 and to be seated against it, fiow through the passage 25 is metered by the opening 37 between the adjacent ends of the spiral 34. Thus flow of liquid from within the cylinder outwardly through the passage 25 is restricted and is metered by the area of the passage 37 which can, of course, be designed of any predetermined capacity to suit the requirements of an individual engine.

a hollow cylinder,
a hollow plunger mounted therein for reciprocation,
a member closing said plunger and shaped with an outlet passage therethrough,

Will the U.S. temporary penetration rate ever break 2.0 percent again? Despite all the talk of a "secular shift," and the recent bullishness in the U.S. staffing market, the temporary penetration rate (share of total employment made up by the temporary services industry as reported monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), remains below its peak of 2.03 percent set in April 2000. For January 2013, the rate was 1.90 percent.

Rhode Island Court Advocacy Program will Close Mondays
This will be one of the last Mondays in which advocates accompany victims of domestic violence to court. The domestic violence court advocacy program is closing on Mondays because of state budget cuts. State support for victims of domestic violence has been on the decline for six years.
Rhode Island has provided victims of domestic violence with court advocates for 25 years. They help traumatized victims confront their abusers and navigate the complex court system. But a decline in state support has forced the suspension of the program on Mondays, according to Deborah DeBare, executive director of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
"The funding for that program had been $425,000. And over the past seven years the state has gradually eroded that funding so we only have $129,000 in that funding stream at this point."
DeBare says she's lobbying the General Assembly for additional funds.
"You know I'm ever an optimist. I really feel that once the public is aware of the impact that these cuts are having and once legislators are aware of the impact on their constituents I'm really hoping the legislature will come through."
The Monday closure of the court advocacy program begins June 1st.

Chittenden County's bus drivers ready to strikeBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | March 07,2014MONTPELIER — About 9,500 people who rely on public bus service in Vermont's largest county could be without a ride Monday if the drivers and the agency they work for don't reach a contract agreement this weekend.
Almost 70 drivers of the Chittenden County Transportation Authority are set to go on strike if an agreement can't be reached by Monday. The next negotiation session is scheduled for Saturday.
Both the authority and the union say the two sides disagree over working conditions, the hiring of part-time drivers, and working hours.
"We don't want to go on strike," driver Rob Slingerland said. "What we want is a fair contract, and that's what we're working for."
The company issued a statement Thursday warning riders that a strike loomed and that if an agreement isn't reached by Monday, the buses won't run.
General Manager Bill Watterson said an 11th hour agreement was reached previously in the drivers' three-year contract that expired in June, and he's hopeful that will happen again.
"The talk about a possible work stoppage has gotten people understandably concerned," Watterson said. "The decision on whether there's going to be a work stoppage is in the hands of the drivers' union. What we want is to get to the bargaining table and sit down and reach an agreement with the drivers' union and not have to have any disruption to our service."
The authority is legally considered a municipality, and was chartered by the Legislature in 1973. It is governed by a 13-member board of commissioners.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

I did tighten the bearings.
The sway is coming from the pivot point.
I took it apart and there seems to be play
between the bearings and the sleeve.
It doesn't look like the sleeve is worn that much.
I guess I'll call Iron Horse and get a new sleeve to go through
the bearings. I might also get a set of ABEC 5 grade bearings for this thing too.
looks like 12 x 28 mm bearings in there.
Anyone else have this problem?

Andreas Prokoph is a adjunct research professor at the Department of Earth Sciences at Carleton University. [2]
According to the Heartland Institute, Andreas Prokoph was previously an adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa's Department of Earth Sciences, a position that he first held in 2003. He presumably moved to Carleton some time before 2007, as an archive of the department, going back as far as November 23, 2007 does not list Prokoph as a professor. [3], [4]
His areas of specialization include cyclostratigraphy, sedimentology, and Cretaceous stratigraphy. He has held positions at the GFZ Potsdam, UC London, and University of Ottawa. Since 2001, he has owned the consulting business SPEEDSTAT, which specializes in research support—image and data analysis, computer modelling, and software development—in Earth and environmental science.
Prokoph's name appears on Senator James Inhofe's list of "prominent scientists" who deny the existence of man-made climate change.
Stance on Climate Change
"Until ~200 million years ago, CO2 may have be a diver of global temperature change … In the past ~150Myr CO2 follows global temperature." [5]
Key Quotes
"Even the IPCC knows about [the urban heat island effect], and tried to adjust for it, but as [Ross] McKitrick mentioned, they adjust poorly for it…" (See video of his speech at the Heartland Institute's ICCC1 below).
Key Deeds
May, 2010
Prokoph spoke at Heartland Institute's International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago, Illinois. [6]
March, 2008
Prokoph was a speaker at the Heartland Institute's First International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC1). See a video of his presentation below:
April, 2006
Andreas Prokoph is listed on the "60 scientists letter to Stephen Harper" as Andreas Prokocon, however in a search of publications this name does not exist. Prokoph's email address is [email protected], so we will assume this Andreas is one and the same.
According to a search of 22,000 academic journals, Prokoph has published 20 research articles in peer-reviewed journals, mainly on the subject of sedimentology.

The German Deutche Telecon has claimed a reliable method of sending data at a rate of 400Gbps over its fibre optic network. The article her on the BBC: BBC News - Deutsche Telekom claims record data transfer record says they have sent to over a single channel of their fibre network. As each single fibre can carry 48 channels this could be jaw dropping and this quote from the article puts it into perspective a bit better:
If this all works out, can you say 'yee haw'!.Each optical fibre is thinner than a human hair but can carry a total of 48 channels - making the total potential throughput up to 24.6Tbps (terabits per second) - or the equivalent of 3,696 CDs per second.
*Mind you, we'd probably only see it 5 years down the line, if we're lucky. And connected to a fibre network.
"We" wouldn't see it anyway - it'd only be used carrier backbone (from other parts of the article) - so BT/Virgin's main fibre runs between the huge exchanges (if they decide to bother)... although, possibly used in JANET backbone done the line, which would improve overall capacity. I wonder if there's a max length on this - does the signal need repeating over certain distances, and if so, does the signal need to be read, error checked and then repackaged before retransmission. If not, would be a very good way to boost capacity across some of the major oceanic links, reducing bandwidth costs (which may in turn bring broadband costs down, and possibly reduce contention).
Now, when are we going to start the Edugeek ISP?

Our new GoodReads Giveaway is for Ror Wolf's Two or Three Years Later: Forty-Nine Digressions, which was translated from the German by Jennifer Marquart and is coming out in June. After struggling for a week this summer trying to figure out to describe this book, we came up with some killer jacket copy—one of the few examples of jacket copy that I'm actually proud of:
bq, Working in the traditions of Robert Walser, Robert Pinget, and Laurence Sterne, Ror Wolf creates strangely entertaining and condensed stories that call into question the very nature of what makes a story a story. Almost an anti-book, Two or Three Years Later: Forty-Nine Digressions takes as its basis the small, diurnal details of life, transforming these oft-overlooked ordinary experiences of nondescript people in small German villages into artistic meditations on ambiguity, repetition, and narrative.
Incredibly funny and playful, Two or Three Years Later is unlike anything you've ever read—from German or any other language. These stories of men observing other men, of men who may or may not have been wearing a hat on a particular Monday (or was it Tuesday?), are delightful word-puzzles that are both intriguing and enjoyable.
You can read an excerpt here and you can click below to enter the drawing.

Mining the back catalogs for classic rock that doesn't suck

How to sell a valuable Grateful Dead poster?
An elderly family friend has an original poster (known as BG074) and program from the 1967 Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead concert at the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto. He is interested in selling the poster and program, and I've offered to help out. According to Wolfgang's Vault, "BG074 is among the rarest of posters. There are hard to verify stories that the original cache of posters was confiscated at the Canadian border by border patrol, but whether the posters were seized or simply put away by contented Canadians, this summer concert made a big impression." Accordingly, I've seen auctions and online memorabilia stores listing this poster in the $5,000 and up range, and the program for close to $1,000. What is the best way to authenticate and sell these items? I contacted Wolfgang's Vault but they don't normally purchase individual items, and the art dealers I've been in touch with don't deal with rock memorabilia. Is there a Sotheby's of rock? Is eBay even worth considering?

The White House has launched the virtual portal that will provide information and resources for small businesses and help entrepreneurs succeed along the way.
Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel announced BusinessUSA.gov Jan. 13 at a luncheon hosted by the Association for Federal Information Resources Management. The website would allow small-business owners to get information one consolidated source instead of several different options, he said.
"Entrepreneurs – especially small-business owners – told us that they don't have the time or resources to navigate the maze of government agencies and need a one-stop shop where they could go for all the assistance they need at every stage of their development," Lisa Brown, acting chief performance officer at the Office of Management and Budget, wrote Feb. 17 on the OMBlog.
The online portal will bring together hundreds of business services and programs from 10 different federal agencies, and link to other opportunities from dozens of additional agencies, she said.
"It's a 'no wrong door' approach for small businesses and exporters from the day they need technical assistance to start a business, to the day they start building a product and need financing, to the day they are ready to export and need help breaking into new markets overseas," Brown wrote.
On the website, business owners can browse the various categories ranging from training to grants to rules. The "Find Resources" section offers guidance for every step of the way of creating, building and expanding a small business. Entrepreneurs can also find business-related events under the "Discover Events" tab, including workshops, classes and luncheons. Event topics range from procurement and alternative funding resources to government contracting.
Currently in its beta phase, the website will expand with the help of visitor feedback. New features and content will be added, and there are plans to open new channels of communication to the BusinessUSA network such as call centers, e-mail and social media.

The art is horrible, looks like most of it was drawn with the shape tool, or atleast in 5 minutes. Same deal with the animation...isn't very smooth. The voice acting was decent, nothing special but hey, pretty darn good at parts...but otherwise kind of lacking. The only good thing (IMO) in this game is the music. It's really quite good
For the gameplay side, well, i didnt play much of this game, but from what i did play it wasn't too good. Sticky controls -i know that there is a way to solve it but still the fact that it's there in the first place...- kinda ruin the experience. And if they aren't sticking they are just full on not respoding.
I dont know, i can tell you put a lot of work into this in terms of trying to make it a bit more cinematic instead of ,like everyy other flash game on NG, a "just shoot shit up who cares about storyline" feel...which isnt always a bad thing, but whatever you know what i mean.
All in all it just felt like it had a lot of potential. I'm not saying the game is the worst flash game i've ever played but it wasn't the best either...
No one would have blamed you if you took an extra month off to polish it up
Promising gameplay with piss-poor art
Gameplay: 9/10
It's actually quite good. The weapon changing is nice, contra style shooters are always fun, and the platforming was difficult but never felt impossible. However, I have to take off a little for the way enemies respawn... there's nothing like falling and then realize that you not only have to platform your way back to the top, but you have to kill the enemies again. Some people have said this portion was lacking, but if the game had at least adequate graphics, they wouldn't have ever noticed it. There really isn't a huge control problem in this game, it was completely fine.
Difficulty: 7/10
It always seems to be nice and difficult, but never frustrating. Yet again, it reminds me of contra. However, you really should add checkpoints, it would make it much better.
Sound: 6/10
The voice acting was pretty good, and the effects were... well.. sound effects, nothing special. However the music seemed pretty repetitive, so you could still tweak this a little.
Art: -2/10
Yes, that's right. A negative 2. The art looks like a 4-year-old otaku found the wonder that is microsoft paint. I'm not joking... next time, find someone to do half-decent sprites for you if they look that shitty when you do them yourself. I guarantee that with a good art style, this game could have a 4.5-or-so score, reviews of mostly 9's and 10's, and triple the views. That's how much of a difference it would make. I actually hesitated clicking on this because I expected it to be absolutely terrible based on the art... remember, humans tend to judge by appearance.
Overall: 5/10
What you need to do is bundle all those stages into one file and get an artist to redo sprites for you, because the artstyle is holding back what could be a great flash game.
Great Game!
Great way to take out my anger after a bad day!
Frustrating and Annoying, With Potential
The movements were so blocky and slow. The wall jumping gave me heck, because I kept falling when she didn't jump fast enough. The respawning enemies was flat out stupid. It was impossible to keep beating them over and over. The graphics were really simple, something anyone could've done. The story was very predictable and mediocre. Add some checkpoints, get better graphics and this game will be a lot better.
This game has great potential, but lacks a lot
