Title: Control of clutch torque of electromagnetic clutch for vehicles
Inventor: SAKAKIYAMA RYUZO
IPC: B60W10/10
Filed: 1984-12-24
Granted: 1987-07-23
Abstract: A vehicle has an engine (2), a transmission (3), and an electromagnetic clutch (1) provided between the engine and the transmission. The current through the clutch coil (6) is increased with increase of engine speed. The clutch current is controlled by a control system comprising an engine speed sensor (16, 20) which senses the speed of the engine and produces an engine speed signal in proportion to engine speed, and an acceleration detecting switch (17) which produces an acceleration signal when the accelerator pedal is depressed. A vehicle speed detecting unit (15, 19) senses the vehicle speed and produces an output when the vehicle speed reaches a predetermined value at a low engine speed. A clutch current control unit (21) responds to the output of the vehicle speed detecting unit (15, 19) and to the acceleration signal and increases the clutch current progressively until a rated current is reached.

Title: Solar protective filter
Inventor: GRIMM WOLFGANG
IPC: G02B5/20
Filed: 1989-08-18
Granted: 1991-10-10
Abstract: A filter, for protection against the sun, of improved contrast sensitivity has a spectral transmission (T lambda ) which for wavelengths ( lambda ) of the incident radiation in the range  lambda < 350 nm </=1% and in the range 350< lambda <400 nm is less than 20%, and which in the range 400< lambda <500 nm reaches a value of 5-30% and thereafter, proceeding from the value for T500, increases linearly with the wavelength to its maximum value. This progression is achieved by coating or colouring the filter material. In this case, it is advantageous to provide a component of the coating or colouring so that the spectral transmission (T lambda ) outside the visible spectral range, i.e. for values  lambda >780 nm, quickly reaches a value <1% again. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-673169-B2 (AU)
Title: Polystyrene foam and process for making the same
Inventor: WELSH GARY C
IPC: C08J9/12
Filed: 1993-04-12
Granted: 1996-10-31
Abstract: An improved polystyrene foam having less corrugation is disclosed which uses carbon dioxide as the blowing agent and 1-30 weight percent endothermic agent, such as water, with the weight based on the total carbon dioxide blowing agent and endothermic agent weight. This combination of carbon dioxide and endothermic agent decreases the corrugation of the thermoplastic foam, while just slightly increasing density, when the process parameters, including throughput, are equivalent to using only carbon dioxide. The process an also allow an increased foaming temperature and greater process throughput of an equivalent density thermoplastic foam at approximately equivalent corrugation levels when compared to the use of only using only carbon dioxide.

Title: Television system for transmitting pictures in a digital form
Inventor: WITH PETER HENDRIK NELIS DE
IPC: H04N5/92
Filed: 1993-07-05
Granted: 1996-04-26
Abstract: To be able to transmit television pictures in a digital form through a medium having a limited bandwidth, the pictures are subjected to picture transform and to variable-length coding. The picture to be transmitted is converted in this manner into a bit stream comprising code words of variable length. This bit stream is converted into a channel bit stream which is less sensitive to transmission errors. To this end the most significant code words (representing the average luminance and the coarse picture details) of sub-pictures of 8*8 pixels are accommodated at fixed bit positions of the channel bit stream. These code words can be retrieved by simple count-down of the bit positions. The other code words are distributed over the other bit positions. The decoder is relatively simple because the length of each block comprising significant code words is also transmitted. This length is preferably adapted to the extent of picture detail in the sub-picture.

Title: Method and apparatus for preparing nitride products
Inventor: GERHOLD BRUCE WILLIAM
IPC: C04B35/58
Filed: 1990-09-12
Granted: 1992-07-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for producing a product comprising a nitride compound, such as for example silicon nitride. A reactor is provided which has a chamber defined therein which is divided into a combustion zone and a reaction zone. A combustible mixture is injected into the combustion zone and accordingly combusted to form hot combustion products. At least one reactant (i.e. silane) is injected at the boundary between the zones so as to be carried into the reaction zone by the combustion products and react to form raw product comprising the nitride compound. The raw product can be purified by subsequent processing to remove oxygen and convert by-products to the desired nitride compound. The product of the invention has a low level of impurties and is made up of primarily submicron, highly uniform particles. This makes the product particularly useful for fabrication of sintered ceramic parts.

Abstract: 2.1 Test devices for earth-fault circuit breakers have the object of closing an auxiliary circuit when a test button is operated, in order to be able to test the operation of the earth-fault circuit breaker. In this case, it must be ensured that the auxiliary circuit cannot be closed in the switched-off state. 2.2 The invention indicates a means by which a test device is combined with an auxiliary circuit and a test button (7) having a contact position display device (6), a switch shaft (1) which is connected to the moving contact (2) additionally being equipped with a bending spring (4) which is used not only as an operating device for the contact position display device (6) but also makes contact with a contact spring (5) of the auxiliary circuit when the contacts (2, 3) are closed. When the contacts (2, 3) are opened, the contact spring (5) cannot make contact with the bending spring (4), so that the auxiliary circuit remains opened even if the test button (7) is operated. 2.3 The test device can be used in all types of earth-fault circuit breakers, but is particularly suitable for earth-fault circuit breakers of narrow construction. <IMAGE>
