Title: Device for triggering a warning device
Inventor: KUEHNER KARL-FRIEDRICH
IPC: G08B21/20
Filed: 1994-08-27
Abstract: The description relates to a device for triggering a warning device, especially in a vehicle with a regulator to act on the braking pressure and/or the engine torque and/or the steering dependently upon movement patterns of the vehicle wheels and/or the vehicle itself. In the event of a fault in the regulator, a control device connects the earth of the regulator to the warning device and thus signals the fault. There is at least one comparator to which a reference voltage and another voltage can be applied, thus connecting the comparator and applying the earth connected to it to the warning device if the other voltage is lower than a first reference voltage and/or if the other voltage is higher than a second reference voltage.

Abstract: When light enters a solid-state imaging device obliquely, the light passing an optical path which misses a photodiode part is gathered by a second microlens located in the lower part which directs the light more vertically. A convergent rate of the oblique incident light can be prevented from decreasing. In this way, a solid-state imaging device having high sensitivity ratio, less smear (stray light), and excellent image characteristics can be provided. A metal with a high melting point or a metal silicide film thereof is used as a photo-shielding film 7. After making the photo-shielding film thinner, a Boro-Phospho-Silicate-Glass (BPSG) film 6 is provided on the entire surface. Then, the second microlens 2 is directly formed on an element provided with a surface protective coating 5 comprising SiO 2 , SiON, or SiN, and on top of that, a color filter 4 and an intermediate transparent film 3 are formed, and then a first microlens 1 is formed thereon. The second microlens 2 located in the lower part is formed using a material having a larger refractive index than that of the intermediate transparent film 3 or the BPSG film 6.

Abstract: An automotive exhaust catalyst includes a support, which is less likely to adsorb SO x  contained in exhaust gases thereon, an NO x  storage compound loaded on the support, and a noble metal element loaded on the support. The support is an alumina support with a Ti-Zr composite oxide loaded thereon, or is formed of a Ti-Zr or Ti-Zr-Y composite oxide. The composite oxide inhibits the NO x  storage compound, which is selected from alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals and rare-earth elements, from being poisoned by sulfur, and enhances the thermal resistance of the support. Thus, the automotive exhaust catalyst can effectively purify NO x  contained in lean-side exhaust gases, even after it is subjected to a thermal durability test.

Abstract: The covering material, designed to be resistant to slashing, consists of a layer of a supple material backed by a reinforcement made from strips (1) or filaments which are set at intervals and made from a material which resists the passage of a cutting implement. The strips or filaments are wavy in shape, either in curved lines or having straight segments (2, 3) which are regularly repeated along their length. The reinforcing strips or filaments are situated so that a cutting implement inserted in the material will inevitably encounter one of them in whichever direction it is moved. They are independent of one another and attached to the supple material layer by one or more layers of adhesive or plastics in which they are at least partially embedded. The strips can be made, for example, from plain or reinforcing plastic or a composition material reinforced with glass or carbon fibres, e.g. Kevlar (RTM).
