Patent EP-0560606-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HAMBRIDGE ROBERT LOUIS
IPC: H01H27/06
Filed: 1993-03-11
Abstract: A switch is disclosed comprising a base (1) having therein an elongate first channel (5). A second channel (8) is connected at opposite ends to the first channel and is separated therefrom by an island (9). A rotor member movable on the base has a latch structure pivotally mounted thereon. The latch includes a peg which projects from the latch into one or other of the channels to follow the channel as the rotor is moved relative to the base. The latch structure also includes a wiper arranged to engage the island to divert the peg from the first channel into one end of the second channel in one direction of movement of the rotor. When the peg is in the second channel, it is prevented from re-entering the first channel by moving in a direction opposite to that in which it entered the second channel, thereby preventing the member from moving in the opposite direction. 
     As an ignition switch for a motor vehicle, return to the START position can thus be prevented until the switch has first returned to the OFF position.

Abstract: A display control apparatus and method initializes the display when the power is switched off. The display control apparatus includes a storing unit which corresponds to a display panel and stores display data, a display control unit for achieving an image on the display panel in accordance with the data stored in the storing unit, a detecting unit for detecting disconnection of a power source, and an initializing unit for initializing the storing unit when the detecting unit has determined that the power source is disconnected. The display control method performs display by using information stored in a memory corresponding to the display panel. The method is carried out by detecting a request for power disconnection, writing initialization data into the memory, achieving an image on the display panel by using the initialization data written in the memory, and disconnecting the power.

Abstract: The present invention includes an automotive exhaust system including a catalytic converter (16) having a substrate (22) of substantial surface area and having a catalyst composition carried thereon. The catalytic converter substrate (22) is carried in a housing (24) extending the length of the catalytic converter substrate (22) and conforming to the outer surfaces of the substrate (22) and mounting material (26). A two-wall diffuser (28) is connected by an outer wall (30) to the converter housing (24) at one end (32) and to an exhaust pipe (14) at the other end (34). An inner wall (36) is spaced at a distance from the outer wall (30) and defines a diffuser portion (A-B) having an inlet cross-sectional flow area less than its outlet cross-sectional flow area. The inner wall (36) also defines an abrupt expansion section (40) which is provided between the end of the diffuser section (A-B) and an end (42) of the inner wall (36) nearest the substrate (22). The inner wall (36) ends in the region between the substrate (22) and the converter housing (24) and is free-floating and is not rigidly connected to either the converter substrate (22) or the housing (24). Thus, the inner wall (36) is free to move with thermal cycling associated with operation of the automobile combustion engine. The space (44) provided between the inner wall (36) and the outer wall (30) of the diffuser (28) provides a thermal insulating air barrier which limits the thermal expansion and contraction that the outer wall (30) experiences at its mechanical connections to the converter housing (24) and exhaust pipe (14).
