Patent DE-19724244-A1 (DE)
Inventor: ZEHETNER JOHANN
IPC: F01N3/30
Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a catalytic converter and a method for purifying an exhaust gas flow (1) from a small engine in an unregulated exhaust system. The catalytic converter comprises a first (2) and a second (3) stage. Preliminary purification takes place in the first stage (2), and final purification in the second stage (3). Secondary air (4) flows in an area of the catalytic converter which is located downstream from the inlet into the first stage (2) and upstream from the outlet from the second stage (3). As a result of this directed supply of secondary air (4), the exothermic reaction is homogenized along the path of flow through the two stages (2, 3) of the catalytic converter.

Patent DE-19755418-A1 (DE)
Title: Sensor measuring complex impedances
Inventor: HILLERICH BERND DIPL PHYS DR I
IPC: G01N33/04
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: Electrodes (29) are coated with an insulating layer (27). In comparison with their spacing (S), this layer is thin (d). Preferred Features: The insulating layer has high chemical stability. It is silicon carbide; its thickness, 0.2 - 2  mu m, is less than a quarter of the electrode spacing. The sensor is a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. A capacitive electrode is applied to it. The sensor element is a surface acoustic wave sensor with interdigital electrodes on the substrate. One of the interdigital electrodes forms a measurement electrode pair. The measurement equipment includes analysis circuitry. Further variables are measured. The analysis unit is an oscillator circuit. The analysis unit voltage source produces two oscillatory signals of the same frequency. A current source controlled by one of them, produces an oscillatory current signal. An amplifier measures the signal dropped across the impedance to be measured, and is suitable to produce a corresponding oscillating voltage signal. A mixer takes this signal, combining it with the second of the two source signals cited with 0 deg  or 90 deg  phase shift, so that real and imaginary parts of the impedance can be determined. The amplifier has connections for positive and negative supply voltages supplied via a series resistance with connections to a voltage stabilizer and the amplifier output. Sensor line screening and buffer amplification are described. A signal switch changes over between individual sensors.

Patent DE-19830265-A1 (DE)
Inventor: DISLICH MARGRIT
IPC: B22D41/46
Filed: 1998-07-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optimising the opening rate of the discharge system of steel-casting ladles. According to the method, the position of a discharge opening (16) of a filling pipe (15) in a horizontal plane in relation to an axis of the discharge channel (13) and optionally, the shape of an discharge end (16) of the filling pipe (15) are determined by non-contact detection before the gate filler (27) is metered. These images can be stored in a database with logical values for whether the discharge channel (13) opened reliably in a subsequent casting operation. This enables a map  of the opening rate of the discharge channel (13) to be placed over the horizontal position of the discharge end (16). The map can then be used later for filling operations with the gate filler (27). The wear of the lining of the steel-casting ladle (11), the actual height of the entry cross section of the discharge channel (13) and the status of the discharge channel can also be determined and the introduction of the gate filler (27) into the discharge channel (13) can be controlled in dependence on the measured data. The status of the discharge end (16) of the filling pipe (15) for the gate filler (27) can also be determined and its discharge opening (16) can be positioned appropriately horizontal to or above the discharge channel (13), in accordance with the results.

Title: Gas measurement probe, especially to determine gas content in exhaust gas of internal combustion engines; has spring-biased sensor that moves under pressure
Inventor: WEYL HELMUT
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 1998-07-28
Abstract: The probe has a contact component carrier with two half-shells (9,10) held together by a spring element (1) that allows insertion of sensor, but then is biased to hold half-shells against contact points (21-24). The probe has a contact component carrier at the connector end (2) of an axially movable sensor (3) built into a tubular protective sleeve (8). The contact carrier comprises two opposing, externally symmetrical half-shells held together by a spring element. The spring element is arranged such that, in a first tensioning stage, if the contact carrier is to be premounted on the end of the sensor, the spring exerts only a small clamping force on the half-shells, and the sensor can still be easily inserted between the two shells. In a second tensioning stage, the spring presses through the inner wall of the protective sleeve (8) with a stronger force, from all sides, against the half-shells and presses these against the contact points.
