Abstract: The invention relates to a starting method and device for an internal combustion engine (10) of motor vehicles, whose crankshaft (11) is connected to an electric unit (14) for starting the internal combustion engine. The crankshaft position and rotation are detected by a starting control device (19) and are used for controlling each starting operation of the internal combustion engine. According to the method, the crankshaft (11) is first brought into a starting position by the electric unit (14) in a positioning phase. The invention aims to achieve the shortest possible starting times and the smallest possible starting torque of the electric unit. To achieve this, in a starting phase which succeeds the positioning phase, a first combustion with a reduced compression and reduced fill rate is triggered in the first cylinder (at least), which is beginning compression, of the internal combustion engine (10). Said first combustion supports the starting torque of the electric unit (14).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of milking animals which uses an implement having a moveable floor on which the animals are milked in milking spaces. The animals enter and exit the floor via automatic gates. The invention involves automatic adjustment of the speed to the moveable floor first, on an estimated milking time of the animals presently in a milk flow mode, i.e. attached to a milking unit and second whether milking units have been attached to the animals before leaving an attachment zone, where the milking units are attached to the animals, either manually or automatically by a robot. The speed of the movable floor is primarily adjusted with the aim at optimizing the occupancy rate of the implement for milking animals with respect to the first condition. The second condition places constraint on when a speed increase is permitted.

Abstract: A positive shut-off air outlet comprises a nozzle (50) having an
internal surface with a spherical radius of curvature, a disc (30)
mounted within the nozzle having an external surface with a spherical
radius of curvature adapted to interface with the internal surface of
the nozzle, and a plurality of axle pins (40) disposed in the external
surface of the disc preferably extending beyond the external surface of
the nozzle. The disc is mounted for rotation and longitudinal movement
within the nozzle between open positions permitting air flow and a
closed position preventing air flow. The axle pins are received within
axle openings (56) disposed in the surface of the nozzle. Each axle
opening is dimensioned to permit longitudinal movement of a respective
axle pin and the disc in the nozzle. When the disc is in the closed
position, air flow causes longitudinal movement of the disc against the
nozzle so that the external surface of the disc interfaces with the
internal surface of the nozzle to form an air flow seal.

Abstract: A solid fuel burner using a low oxygen concentration
gas as a transporting gas of a low grade solid fuel such as
brown coal or the like and a combustion method using the
solid fuel burner are provided. The solid fuel burner
comprises a means for accelerating ignition of the fuel and a
means for preventing slugging caused by combustion ash from
occurring. Mixing of fuel and air inside a fuel nozzle (11)
is accelerated by that an additional air nozzle (12) and a
separator (35) for separating a flow passage are arranged in
the fuel nozzle (11), and the exit of the additional air
nozzle (12) is set at a position so as to overlap with the
separator (35) when seeing from a direction perpendicular to
a burner axis, and additional air is ejected in a direction
nearly perpendicular to a flow direction of a fuel jet
flowing through the fuel nozzle 11. An amount of air from the
additional air nozzle (12) is varied corresponding to a
combustion load. By increasing the amount of air from the
additional air nozzle (12) at a low load operation, an oxygen
concentration of a circulation flow (19) formed in a
downstream portion outside the exit of the fuel nozzle (11)
is increased to stably burn the fuel. By decreasing the
amount of air from the additional air nozzle (12) at a high
load operation, a flame is formed at a position distant from
the fuel nozzle (11) to suppress radiant heat received by
structures of the solid fuel burner and walls of the furnace.

Abstract: In prior art engine breather systems shut off valves
which prevent oil from entering the engine induction
system have been mounted externally on the engine and
require associated external pipework. Both the shut
off valve and pipework are prone to damage and
leaking. The closed circuit breather apparatus of
the present invention includes a cylinder head cover
and a shut off valve provided beneath the cylinder
head cover. The shut off valve includes an aperture
in communication with a blow-by gas inlet passage and
a valve float restrained to move between a first
position in which the aperture is open and a second
position in which the aperture is closed. Preferably
the shut off valve is integral with the cylinder head
cover. The shut off valve is thus packaged inside
the engine valve chamber, making it easy to fit and
eliminating leak paths.

long time, and thus this fabric is excellent in terms of
durability of the cushioning property. In particular,
the fabric is suitable for use as a hammock type seat
and exhibits a cushioning property having a favorable
