Inventor: STEVENS BRYAN M
IPC: F16J15/18
Filed: 2001-07-13
Abstract: A master cylinder assembly (10) for controlling a motor vehicle clutch (18) including
switches for controlling functions such as enabling the starter motor, disabling the
cruise control, or signalling the engine computer. The assembly includes an annular
seal assembly (30) disposed in an internal groove (38m,40h) in the wall of the
cylinder sealingly engaging the piston (34) of the cylinder and dividing the cylinder
into a pressurised chamber on one side of the seal and an unpressurised chamber
open to atmosphere on the other side of the seal. A plurality of axially spaced pairs
of contacts (50c,50d) are provided on a cartridge (32) on the inner wall of the
cylinder in the unpressurised chamber for coaction with an annular contact (50)
carried by a flange structure (54g) which forms part of the piston so that as the
piston moves axially within the cylinder in response to depression of the clutch pedal
(14) annular contact (56) on the piston successively closes circuits associated with
the successive spaced pairs of contacts (50c,50d) on the inner wall of the cylinder
thus successively enabling or disabling motor vehicle control devices associated
with the pairs of cylinder contacts.

Abstract: A corona charging device (52) has a plurality of discharge electrodes
(2c) to which a high voltage from a voltage generating section 63 is applied.
The discharge electrodes (2c) are within an electrically conductive case (2a)
and separated from a photoreceptor (51) by an electrically biased grid (2d).
The discharge current through the discharge electrodes (2c) required for
a uniform charging of the photoreceptor is minimized, thereby minimizing
the amount of generated ozone. This is achieved by keeping the ratios of
the grid current I g , leakage current I c  and the current
I d  flowing through the photoreceptor (51) within specific ranges.

Abstract: In einem Regelkreis aus Motor (M), Leistungsteil (L), Motorgeber
(G) und Regelungseinheit (R) wird auch ein elektrischer
Kreis geschlossen, indem eine elektrische Verbindung (X) zwischen
dem Motor (M) und dem Motorgeber (G) geschaffen wird.
Eine sichere elektrische Trennung in einem solchen Regelkreis

Die Regelungseinheit (R) überträgt vorzugsweise über das
Leistungsteil (L) ein Merkmal, das aus der anderen Richtung
wieder zur Regelungseinheit (R) gelangt. Dieses Merkmal muss
keine Kennung im Sinne einer Nummer sein, es reicht ein Impuls,
der eindeutig zu identifizieren ist. Dadurch wird eine
technisch sehr effektive Realisierung eines Vergleichs der
Regelkreisstruktur mit der tatsächlichen Verdrahtung ermöglicht,
indem die Regelungseinheit (R) den Motorgeber (G) dahingehend
auswertet, ob der Impuls aufgetreten ist.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating fluids comprises a flow duct
for the fluid to be heated, an electrically inductive impeller
13 disposed in the flow duct, a motor 10 arranged to rotate the
impeller 13 to cause the fluid to flow along the flow duct and
a coil 21 disposed adjacent the impeller 13. 
     A high frequency signal is applied to the coil 21,
which generates a magnetic field that induces eddy currents in
impeller 13. The impeller 13 is not an ideal conductor, and
thus the electrical energy is dissipated as heat as current
flows through the impeller. The heat generated in the impeller
13 is transferred to the fluid as it is driven along the duct
by the impeller 13.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a measuring method
and a measuring apparatus for accurately measuring an initial
imbalance deviating from a predetermined imbalance, when the
predetermined imbalance is to be left in a body of rotation. 
     Data relating to the predetermined imbalance is stored in
a memory 22 as a dummy value information. The vibration of
a crank shaft 1 as the body of rotation is detected by
vibration sensors 6L, 6R so as to obtain analogue vibration
signals WDL, WDR. The rotational angle position of the crank
shaft 1 is detected by a photo sensor 8 and, in response to
this rotational angle position, the above described dummy
value information is converted to analogue dummy signals DLX,
DLY, DRX and DRY by multi D/A converters 12L, 12R, 13L and 13R
and these signals are removed from the analogue vibration
signals so as to obtain analogue initial imbalance signals WL,
WR, which are converted by D/A converter so as to obtain the
digital initial imbalance value.

Abstract: An integrated processing box performs processing commonly to a plurality of input devices, a plurality of output devices, or a plurality of storage devices. For example, the integrated processing box performs noise reduction processing on data received from an input device or a storage device, or data supplied to an output device or a storage device. The integrated processing box also performs , for example, temporal/spatial processing or grayscale processing, adaptively to each type of input devices, each type of output devices, or each type of storage devices. Accordingly, if the input device is, for example, a video camera, the video camera is formed only by a CCD, a sample-and-hold circuit for sampling and holding the output from the CCD, an AGC circuit for adjusting the gain of the output from the sample-and-hold circuit, and an A/D conversion circuit for converting the analog output of the AGC circuit into a digital output. That is, it is possible to form the video camera without modules performing defect correction for the pixels of the CCD, γ correction, color matrix conversion.
