A vibratory feeder for cohesive particulate solids such as powders and the like. A conveyor frame supports a flexible conveyor membrane and is excited by a vibrator. The vibrator produces standing waves defined by nodes in the sectional configuration of the membrane transverse to the direction of material flow, with the sections between the nodes effecting periodic, alternately inverting flexures to release adhering solids.

Vibratory feeder

A transducer having an explosion-proof housing with a divider forming two compartments, and the divider having formed therein a well. A magnet and flapper arm arrangement is suspended within the well. A coil winding is fixed in the other compartment around the well so that a magnetic field generated thereby influences the pivotal position of the magnet. Set screws adjustable in the bottom of the well are effective to preset a rest position of the magnet.

Electropneumatic positioner

Apparatus and method for the calibrating in the field of media and process condition change transmitters and controllers. Means and method for high resolution calibrating of condition change measuring and indicating apparatus by spring means external to the measuring by, and having a spring rate multiplyingthe change response of, such apparatus. Means and method of calibrating media and process change transmitters and controllers by inferentially simulating full span condition changes.
