Patent EP-0874141-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BIELER JENS
IPC: F01M13/02
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: A throttle limits flow through the pipe, and is formed by a plastic component with inlet union for the pipe and an outlet. A metal bush fixed in a drilling through the component has a screw by which the component is secured to the cylinder-head. This throttle (12) forms part of the pipe (7), and is situated at the heat-conductive bush (11). The pipe can intersect the drilling (9) and bush, the throttle being incorporated in the latter. It can form an extension of the inlet union, leading into an annular chamber (13) between bush and screw (15). The radial outlet drilling (16) to the engine intake (6) and which passes through the bush is of larger diameter (16). Where the engine has four or more cylinders, the inlet union and throttle can be situated between the intake pipes to two adjacent central cylinders, while the throttle is at the highest geodetic point of the crankcase vent system.

Abstract: Identification label for animals provided with a male (1) and a
female (2) part of a flexible synthetic material, which male
part is provided with a pin (4), which ends in a cross-sectionally
projecting head, conically tapering towards the
extremity (5) and which female part is provided with a housing (8)
for receiving the head therein, via a bore with a section,
which is smaller than the cross-section of the protruding
part of the head. 
Such an identification label is used as an earmark for
animals, such as for example cattle in order to facilitate
their identification - for example for verifying the origin
of an animal or for following up the milk production of each
cow individually. The earmark is moreover provided with a
number or with a transponder(chip). 
Into the housing (8) of the female part according to the
invention an inner casing (11) is introduced, which lies axially
in the extension of the bore, which on the side turned away
from the bore of the housing is essentially closed off
transverse to the axial direction by a head surface (18), whereby
the material of the inner casing (11), at least in the
temperature range up to melting point is harder than the
material of the male and female parts.

Abstract: A shieldable syringe assembly (10) includes a syringe barrel (12) having opposed
proximal (16) and distal (14) ends and an annular groove (32) extending inwardly near said
distal end. A locking collar (76) is mounted on said distal end of said syringe barrel
and includes a plurality of barbs (90) engaged in the groove (32). Outer portions (84,86,88) of the
locking collar (76) aligned with the barbs (90) define a collet that is inwardly deformable.

Interior portions of the safety shield (54) are configured to lockingly engage the
collet when the safety shield is in the distal position. The collet engaging
portions of the safety shield deform the collet inwardly into tight gripping
engagement in the groove (32) on the syringe barrel for preventing separation of the
safety shield (54) and the locking collar (76) from the syringe barrel (12).

Abstract: A data packet switch includes a decision tree for classifying data packets, which
can be dynamically modified. To conserve memory resources nodes which are found
during modification to have matching effects are combined. If only a subset of paths to
a node are relevant to a modification, the node is split. Prior to implementation of the
modifications, temporary nodes are inserted before modified nodes to preserve existing
paths. These temporary nodes are controlled by a single memory value which can be
changed to effect all the modifications to the decision tree simultaneously.
