Abstract: A power steering system includes a pair of valve members (42, 46) which are interconnected by a torsion-tension spring (52). During a steering maneuver, torque is applied to the torsion-tension spring (52) to effect increasing torsional deformation of the torsion-tension spring. Tensile force is also applied to the torsion-tension spring (52) to effect increasing axial deformation of the torsion-tension spring. The tensile force is applied to the torsion-tension spring (52) by interaction between rollers (110) of a thrust bearing (80) and annular arrays (84, 92) of cam surfaces (86, 94) which engage opposite sides of the rollers. The cam surfaces (86, 94) are connected with opposite ends of the torsion-tension spring (52) by rigid bodies(42, 62, 102, 76) so that any increase in the distance between the cam surfaces results in a corresponding elongation of the torsion-tension spring. The cam surfaces (86, 94) have a configuration such that the extent of axial deformation of the torsion-tension spring (52) during each increment of relative rotation decreases. This results in a decrease in the force required to effect each succeeding increment of axial deformation of the torsion-tension spring (52).

Abstract: A method of improving the performance of a pollutant abatement means, e.g., catalytic converter (16), used to purify engine exhaust gas streams and the like includes combusting a combustion mixture of air and a low ignition temperature fuel in the exhaust gas stream upstream of the catalytic converter (16) to oxidize carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, and/or to rapidly heat the catalytic converter to its operating temperature. Reaction conditions are maintained so as to cause the combustion mixture to ignite spontaneously. A control system may be used to regulate the supply of the combustion mixture in response to time lapse or temperature of the catalyst or both. The apparatus includes a fuel supply (18) and a fuel line (20) controlled by a valve (22) to deliver a low ignition temperature fuel into the exhaust gas discharge line (14) associated with the engine (12). An air pump (26) provides combustion air through an air line (28) into the exhaust gas discharge line (14). Optionally, a thermocouple (36) attached to the catalytic converter (16) signals a controller (38) to reduce or stop the flow of air and/or low ignition temperature fuel in response to the temperature of the catalytic converter (16).

Abstract: Un système antisonique actif a une série de caractéristiques qui rendent l'insonorisation plus efficace, assurent une plus grande fiabilité et une stabilité améliorée. Une caractéristique particulière adaptée à des systèmes de casques d'écoute consiste en un microphone résiduel radialement décalé par rapport au centre d'un générateur de sons qui détecte un signal similaire à celui qui atteint le tympan de l'utilisateur. En outre, un casque d'écoute à partie postérieure ouverte est pourvu de perforations situées dans la partie latérale du casque plutôt que dans la partie postérieure, de sorte qu'un blocage par inadvertance des perforations est moins probable. Le système comprend en outre un mécanisme de détection de changements des caractéristiques acoustiques de l'environnement causés, par exemple, par une pression exercée sur les écouteurs, et qui pourraient déstabiliser le système antisonique. Le système réagit automatiquement à de tels changements, en réduisant par exemple le gain ou la réponse en fréquence du système afin d'en préserver la stabilité. Le système comprend également d'autres procédés de détection et de compensation d'une instabilité imminente, tels que la détection du début de signaux dans une plage de fréquences d'enrichissement caractéristique du début de l'instabilité, et l'ajustement du gain ou de la réponse en fréquence du système, ou la suppression des signaux enrichis. Le système comprend en outre un mécanisme qui permet de prolonger la durée de vie de la batterie en débranchant le système lorsque les niveaux de bruit sont faibles, ou en ajustant l'alimentation du système en fonction des besoins momentanés en énergie du système.

Abstract: A typical multi-lane toll plaza environment has roadside collection stations (20b, 20c, 20d). Each of the roadside collection stations (20b, 20c, 20d) communicates over a high-speed short-range microwave or RF communication link (22) with in-vehicle units (34) located in either a single vehicle in its respective lane or in plural vehicles in their lane while the vehicle or vehicles pass through the RF footprint (24) of one of the roadside collection stations (20b, 20c, 20d). The radiation footprint (24) is a function of the antennae in the roadside collection stations (20b, 20c, 20d) and in the in-vehicle units (34). For typical antenna footprints and velocities, only a few milliseconds of time are necessary to complete a transaction for a vehicle.

Abstract: To clean off-gases, contaminated with volatile organic compounds, by catalytic combustion at between 250 and 800<0> C under pressure, the process being self-supporting, or supplemented by an external energy supply. Ideally, combustion proceeds at a pressure of 2 to 20 bar, with or without compressed air supply, pre-heating the gases in a heat exchanger, or an electric heater. Compressed air supply is controlled so as to keep the cleaned off-gas essentially oxygen free, producing from the pressure stage, a clean inert gas at between 1 and 20 bar. Details of process conditions and throughputs for various organic contents are tabulated.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for lowering NO x  levels in flue gases of a fluidized bed reactor (10) using selective non-catalytic reduction. A reactor (10) is connected to a separator (48) by a duct (34), and a reactant is introduced through a part (46) into the duct (34) for decreasing NO x  levels in the flue gases passing from the reactor (10), through the duct (34), and into the separator (48). The reactant, such as ammonia or urea, is selectively injected into a gaseous-rich region of the duct (34), near an upper, inner portion of the duct (34), so that a high degree of mixing of the reactant with flue gases is achieved while maintaining a low degree of mixing of the reactant with the particulate materials. The point of injection (46) of the reactant into the duct (34) is also at a location nearer to the reactor (10) than to the separator (48) to provide for increased residence time. In this manner, the reactant is used efficiently while obtaining the desired lowering of NO x  levels in the flue gases.
