Patent EP-0574965-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WELTER ANDREAS
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1990-10-20
Abstract: The invention describes a method for generating a shift signal from a shift map. The method is intended to prevent the transmission from shifting up in overrun operation and, where applicable, under high lateral acceleration. This is achieved by recording the exceeding of the up-shift characteristics by the operating point. In a preferred embodiment, the position of the accelerator pedal is measured and, when the up-shift characteristic is exceeded, is converted into an accelerator pedal speed. The value obtained in this way for the accelerator pedal speed is a measure of whether the transmission shifts up or remains in the existing gear. If appropriate, the up-shift process is suppressed if a lateral acceleration limit is exceeded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A thermal ink-jet pen cartridge (50) having a rigid external frame member (78) fabricated of a rigid engineering plastic, and an interior frame structure (68) attached thereto, formed of a softer, more ductile plastic material than an engineering plastic. An ink reservoir (62) is defined by the interior structure and a pair of flexible bag membranes (64, 66) formed of a plastic material impervious to the ink and compatible with the interior member material, allowing the membranes to be joined to the interior member to form a leak-proof joint. The external structure has locking features (144) formed into an interior surface. When the interior member (68) is injection molded to the external member (78), the molten material flows into and around the locking features, securing the interior member to the external member and resisting the shrinkage forces as the molten material cools. The ink reservoir (60) is filled through a fill port passageway (130) extending through the external frame member and the inner member. The passageway is lined with the softer material of the inner member, and is sealed by an oversized ball (132) press fit into the passageway after the ink filling process.

Abstract: An undulated diaphragm (1), which has an approximately circular, flat plate-shaped central portion (2) and a peripheral portion composed of a series of alternate, approximately concentric convex and concave portions (3,4), is clamped between two undulated container members (6,7) each having an approximately bowl-shaped recess (8,9). The recesses (8,9) of the container members (6,7) are each composed of a series of alternate, approximately concentric concave and convex portions (30,31), which are complementally formed to correspond to the approximately concentric convex and concave portions (3,4) of the diaphragm (1) when extended. When the pressure in one recess is raised, the diaphragm (1) successively moves toward the other recess and finally comes in contact with the second recess completely and snugly fits thereto. When the pressure in the first recess is lowered, the diaphragm (1) successively moves toward the first recess and finally comes in contact with the first recess completely and snugly fits thereto. Deformation of the diaphragm (1) during movement is restricted by virtue of the elasticity and rigidity of the diaphragm (1) and the structure thereof, which includes a series of alternate, approximately concentric convex and concave portions (3,4). Thus, the diaphragm (1) regularly extends and contracts without causing local inversion of the direction of bending during the movement.

Inventor: KOSINSKI SANDRA GREENBERG
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 1993-11-04
Abstract: This invention is an apparatus which comprises a low reflection optical fiber termination. The apparatus comprises an optical fiber having a core (20), a cladding (18) and a designated end. The core of the fiber has an effective refractive index N (exemplarily 1.484 ± .026). A terminator (22) having a refractive index approximately equal to N (e.g. to within ±3.5%) is attached in such a manner that the terminator and the designated fiber end are in intimate contact (24). The closer the refractive index of the terminator is to the refractive index of the core of the fiber, the less back reflection occurs. A curable polymer having (26) a high refractive index can be used to coat the terminator and a portion of the fiber. There is no need to polish, bend, cleave, twist or taper the end of the optical fiber prior to attaching the substrate to the optical fiber. Thus, the apparatus can be readily and inexpensively practiced not only in the factory but also in the field.

Abstract: An encapsulated reflective sensor for use in conjunction with a code wheel (34) for determining the motion and position of a shaft has a light emitting device (8) and photo-detector array (12) contained within a transparent encapsulant (2). The encapsulant (2) has a convex curved surface (6,40,42) which prevents light from the light emitting device from impinging on the photodetector array (12). An emitter lens (40) is formed by the convex curved surface between the light emitting device (8) and the code wheel (34). The emitter lens (40) magnifies and concentrates the light toward the code wheel (34). As the code wheel (34) turns with the shaft, the light incident on the wheel is modulated and reflected toward the photodetector array (12). A second detector lens (42) may be used between the code wheel (34) and photodetector array (12) for concentrating the modulated light reflected from the code wheel (34) toward the photodetector array (12).
