Abstract: The key case has an insertion socket (3) with an attachment unit (5) that cooperates with a retention unit (7). The retention unit is hidden to allow the passage of the attachment unit, when a key insertion (4) is introduced in the socket through an insertion opening (6), and is projected after passing the insertion through the opening, to prevent the insertion coming back from the socket. The attachment unit is fixed at a rear end of an insertion socket to allow the movement of key insertion between a retracted position in which the insertion is hidden in the socket and a deployed position in which the insertion is withdrawn from the socket.

Abstract: The support has a support plate (10) coupled to a hub of a turning wheel. The plate has a fixedly arranged cylindrical pin with a sleeve (13) that is pressed down by a spring. Grooves arranged around the pin receive a ball that forms a wedge unit. A lower surface of the sleeve includes sloped sections that cooperate with the wedge unit to lift the sleeve upwards as a wheel turns at an angle larger than a given turning angle. The sleeve is prevented from rotation at an angle larger than a given turning angle of the wheel by a stop pin such that the cylindrical pin rotates and the wedge unit lifts sleeve upwards against the force of the spring. The spring along with influence of gravity and wedge unit returns sleeve and the cylindrical pin to normal position as the wheel is returned towards a straight position.

Abstract: An absolute optical encoder apparatus for measuring an absolute position comprises an optical disk or scale element (100) having both incremental and absolute code tracks formed thereon. In the embodiment, a photoemitter light source (110, 111) illuminates the tracks onto a CCD area array sensor (115, 116) such that an image is formed from a pixel matrix having of rows and columns. Two detector line rows (410, 420) of the pixel matrix are each read out from the portion of the matrix comprising the incremental and absolute code tracks respectively. Inaccurate mounting of the disk or scale element can cause fluctuations in the period of the code tracks resulting from the rotation of the disk or movement of the scale element. The mounting inaccuracies are compensated for either by matching the spatial frequency by dynamically changing row of detector line read from the incremental image of the code track or by altering the numerical value of the pattern period used in the Fourier phase algorithm. The absolute position is numerically calculated from the imaged code tracks.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a catalytic converter is described where the catalytic converter is comprised of an outer tube member having a monolith substrate internally compressed therein with a wrapped mat material surrounding the monolith substrate and intermediate the outer tube. One or more monolith members can be applied within the outer tube and heat shields may also be applied internal to the outer tube and adjacent to the monolith substrate. The assembly of the catalytic converter includes measuring the sequence of compression of the mat material to the monolith substrate in order to understand the possible force characteristics that can be applied during the assembly thereof. The mat material is therefore compressed within the outer tube by way of compression jaws, by compression rollers, by spinning and/or by a shrinker including compression members. The compression of the mat material can be in single or multiple steps.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting damage caused to the bars and/or end rings of the rotor cage of squirrel-cage asynchronous motors, regardless of the type of load that they are working with, it being possible to detect this type of faults even when the motor is working with loads whose opposing torque has an oscillating or pulsating component. Broken bars cause a significant alteration in the length covered by each pole over the machine's air gap, and this alteration is the parameter that is taken as an indicator for detecting the fault. These variations in the length of the magnetic poles are detected by measuring the flux concatenated by one of the stator teeth (4), thanks to an auxiliary coil (5) disposed on said stator tooth (4). The invention also relates to a squirrel-cage asynchronous motor that includes an auxiliary coil (5) for detecting damage caused to the bars and/or end rings of the rotor cage under any type of load.
