Abstract: In a bridge circuit of a pressure sensor, resistances are connected in series to the impedances of a pressure detection coil and of a dummy coil for differential provided for deforming and non-deforming parts, and the values of the resistances are smaller than the impedances of the coils. The inductance and the internal resistance of the coils are measured under zero pressure and under the highest rating pressure. The resistance connected to the pressure detector coil is determined so that the sensor output sensitivity, represented as a difference of the sensor outputs under zero pressure and under the highest rating pressure, at the highest temperature agrees with that at the lowest temperature. The resistance connected to the dummy coil is determined so that the sensor output, represented as a difference of the sensor outputs under zero pressure, at the highest temperature agrees with that at the lowest temperature.

Abstract: A leakproof double seat valve comprises two slide-valve bodies (1, 2) in a valve housing (3) with conduit connections (4, 5). In the closed position, the two slide-valve bodies (1, 2), which can be actuated independently of one another, rest against valve seats (6, 7) in the valve housing (3) and are at a distance apart, thus forming a leakage cavity (8). During the opening process, the first slide-valve body (1) can be brought to rest against the other, second slide-valve body (2) before it leaves its valve seat (6), the former movement involving a reduction in the size of the leakage cavity (8). The second slide-valve body (2) is provided with a tubular extension (9) which is passed out of the valve housing (3) in a sealed manner and connects the leakage cavity (8) to the surroundings of the valve. In a double seat valve of this kind, optimum cleaning with minimum consumption of flushing agent is achieved by virtue of the fact that the two slide-valve bodies (1, 2) can each be moved independently of the other by a partial stroke in the opposite direction to that of opening into a flushing position in which the slide-valve body (1 or 2) is free of its valve seat (6 or 7) and rests against a housing stop (13 or 14) provided with openings (11 or 12) for flushing agent.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of reducing undesired premixed burning in an internal combustion engine includes lifting an injector needle (830) of a fuel injector (720) a constant low-lift increment (858) from a valve seat (846) of a valve covers orifice (VCO) nozzle (850) having an injection hole (854) opening into the valve seat (846), and preventing lifting of the needle (830) beyond the low-lift increment (858) for a sufficient interval of time to inject a relatively small initial fuel charge into the engine from the VCO nozzle, the injection producing a highly atomized, wide-angle spray plume with relatively low penetration. The interval terminates when lifting forces imposed on the needle overcome holding forces imposed on the needle by a stop plate (620) which has opposed first and second surfaces exposed to an ambient fluid pressure and to a fluid vapor pressure, respectively. A subsequent step includes lifting the needle (830) to a higher lift position (858) to inject a main fuel charge into the engine, the main fuel charge being injected as a relatively narrow jet having high penetration. The stop plate (620) preferably has opposed rough and smooth flat surfaces orientable such that preventing step will occur when the smooth surface faces downwardly and will not occur when the plate is inverted such that the rough surface faces downwardly.

Abstract: Figure 1 shows generally at 10 a telephone having a speaker 11, a microphone 12, processing means 13, a control unit 14 and an audible indicator 15. When the telephone 10 is used to conventionally communicate with another telephone (not shown), for example to enable respective users of the telephone to speak to each other, electronic signals corresponding to the speech are input to and output from the telephone 10 at input 16 and output 17 respectively. The input 16 and output 17 are connected to a radio transmitter/receiver in the case of a mobile or portable telephone or maybe connected to a telephone line cable in the case of a conventional telephone. The processing means 13 electronically processes the signals and in the case of incoming calls these are relayed from the input 16 to the speaker 11. In the case of outgoing signals these are relayed from the microphone 12 to the output 17. The control unit 14 identifies the presence of a command signal with the incoming calls. If a user of another telephone (not shown) wishes to call telephone 10, the telephone number of telephone 10 is dialled in the conventional way. However if during a time interval of a pre-determined length beginning immediately after the number of telephone 10 is dialled the caller inputs a command code via his conventional telephone key-pad this sends a command signal to telephone 10 which is identified by a control unit 14. Upon identification of the command signal the control unit 14 inhibits the operation of the audible indicator 15 by means of inhibit unit 14b so that no indication is made of the incoming call. Additionally the control unit 14 automatically establishes the channel of communications as though the user had answered the call.
