IPC: F02N3/02
Filed: 2001-11-02
Abstract: A recoil starter capable of reducing a peak load at the
time of an engine starting operation, and lessening shocks
given to the hand and arm. The recoil starter is formed of
a starter case provided so as to extend around an axis of a
crank shaft, a starter shaft, a one-way clutch mechanism formed
between one end of the starter shaft and an engine, a reel
mounted on the starter shaft so that the reel can be turned
freely, a rope wound in a groove of the reel, a spiral spring
fixed at both end portions thereof to the starter case and reel
and urged in the direction in which the rope is taken up, and
a spiral spring fixed at both end portions to the reel and
starter shaft and adapted to transmit with an elastic action
a rotational force, which occurs when the rope is drawn out,
of the reel to the starter shaft. The peak load at the engine
starting time is absorbed in the spiral spring adapted to
transmit with an elastic action the rotational force of the
reel to the starter shaft.

Abstract: A split-flow-type flowmeter is disclosed which is capable of measuring the flow rate of a pulsating flow and measuring a regular flow component and a backflow component equivalently, and a construction thereof is also disclosed. 
     An end portion of a flow splitter tube 1 is inserted into a main-flow pipe 10 having a diameter D. A flow splitter tube 1 includes a U-shaped split-flow passage 1a. A detection element is disposed at a bottom portion (not shown) of the U-shaped split-flow passage 1a. The split-flow passage 1a assumes a flow path structure symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the detection element. A flow inlet 2a and a flow outlet 2b of the split-flow passage 1a face in mutually opposite directions along the flow direction of the main-flow pipe 10 and open symmetrically at the same position on the flow cross section of the main-flow pipe 10. In order to divert into the split-flow passage 1a a portion of relatively high flow rate of flow from the main-flow pipe 10, the center of opening of the flow inlet 2a/flow outlet 2b is positioned between the center of the flow cross section of the main-flow pipe 10 and an average-flow-velocity position at which flow in the main-flow pipe 10 is of an average flow velocity, as observed on the flow cross section of the main-flow pipe 10.

Abstract: A bit-rate converting apparatus and a method thereof, in which
bit-rate conversion is executed by low computational complexity, are
provided. The bit-rate conversion is executed in a frequency domain,
and psycho-acoustic analysis is not needed by using information included
in an inputted bit-stream before the bit-rate conversion is applied.
With this, the computational complexity is lowered. And in order that
many equal values are not contained in a frequency domain signal, which
is inputted to a quantizing means, a quantized value before inverse
quantizating is applied is modified, or an inverse quantized value after
the inverse quantizing was applied is modified. With this, fine control
for the bit-rate is made to be easy.

Abstract: A battery arrangement that minimize battery-to-battery and battery-to-device contact
resistance by rupturing or removing insulating contaminant layers on the portions of the
battery terminals (106,108,206,208) that contact each other or that contact the device
contacts. Generally, standard dry cell (100) and miniature (200) batteries are arranged
such that the surface area of the terminals that contact other terminals or device contacts
is reduced. A given compression force applied to the serially-aligned batteries in the
battery compartment results in a maximum contact pressure sufficient to rupture the
insulating contaminant layer at the terminal region that contacts the adjacent terminal or
device contact. A relative lateral motion (310,312,410412) can be imparted between
adjacent batteries and/or a battery and device contact to facilitate the removal of the
insulating contaminant layer.

Abstract: A tuner block (150) has a casing (150c) for accommodating a tuner, the IF/demodulator
circuit and the modulator, and sixteen pins projecting in a line from
the casing (150c). The number of pins is reduced as compared with a conventional
tuner block by supplying an electrical power to the modulator and the tuner through
a common pin, dispensing with pins carrying unnecessary signals and pins which
carry no signal and rearranging other pins. Potential for noise and interference
between signals is reduced by maximizing displacements of connector pins which
carry signals which are likely to interact. A switching arrangement provides for
utilizing either a conventional tuner block or a tuner block according to the present
invention on a circuit board.

Abstract: This invention enables lossless data compression at
high speed while taking advantage of high-speed
decompression. First, a dictionary area is reserved and
initialized (step 601). The dictionary area is constructed
with first and second storage areas. The first storage area
stores the first 2 bytes of data read in accordance with a
reading pointer as an index, and holds 0 if data subsequent
to the third byte of the read data has not occurred in
previous input data, but if the data has occurred in the
previous input data, holds address information of the
second storage area storing information related to this
subsequent data. The second storage area stores the
subsequent 1-byte data, and a first address storing a
position of previous input data that matches the read 3-byte
data, and holds 0 if there is no other pattern for the
subsequent 1-byte data, or if there is, holds an address
for chain-linking the area with another second storage area
storing data for another pattern. When there is previous
input data that matches the 3-byte data including the
second storage area, data subsequent to the fourth byte of
read data is compared with data located in the [position of
previous input data + 3 bytes], then a longest-match length
L and address thereof are coded and outputted (step 606).

Abstract: A fluid transfer machine (20) includes a positive displacement, rotary-type
pumping mechanism (40) driven by a drive shaft (26). The drive shaft (26) is lubricated

53a, 53b, 54, 23) in the machine. Fluid is directed from an inlet port (22) through a
passage (49) that intersects a cavity (65) surrounding the drive shaft (26), at a location
between a pair of journal bearings (60, 61). The fluid then continues through a pair of
passages (50a, 50b) directly to the suction side of the pumping mechanism (40). The
drive shaft (26) could also be located on the pressure side of the pumping mechanism
(40). The fluid cools and lubricates the drive shaft (26) and drive shaft bearings (60, 61),
and reduces the size and complexity of the machine, as additional cooling and lubrication
flow passage(s) are not required.
