Abstract: A fuel injector for vaporizing a liquid fuel for use in an internal combustion engine. The fuel injector includes at least one capillary flow passage, the at least one capillary flow passage having an inlet end and an outlet end, a fluid control valve for placing the inlet end of the at least one capillary flow passage in fluid communication with the liquid fuel source and introducing the liquid fuel in a substantially liquid state, a heat source arranged along the at least one capillary flow passage, the heat source operable to heat the liquid fuel in the at least one capillary flow passage to a level sufficient to change at least a portion thereof from the liquid state to a vapor state and deliver a stream of substantially vaporized fuel from the outlet end of the at least one capillary flow passage and means for cleaning deposits formed during operation of the apparatus. The fuel injector is effective in reducing cold-start and warm-up emissions of an internal combustion engine. Efficient combustion is promoted by forming an aerosol of fine droplet size when the substantially vaporized fuel condenses in air.

Abstract: A method for re-grinding and polishing free-form surfaces, especially rotationally symmetrical aspherical optical lenses by tools. in which the virtual levelling of a coarsely pre-grinded lens, for example, is calculated by interferometric measurement and by calculation with a desired form; pressure, rotational speed and sojourn time of the tools are controlled by means of said virtual levelling and the surface of the lens, for example, is divided up into partial areas. The partial areas correspond to the size of the tools. A zeroized approximation is calculated for the control of the tools. Said zeroized approximation enables the interaction of the partial areas to be estimated. By taking into account the estimated interaction, a sojourn time for each tool on each partial area is calculated as a function of pressure and rotational speed of the tool for each partial area, using a linear equation system and the tools are controlled accordingly. The invention also relates to tools and tool arrangements in addition to especially precise aspherical lenses.

Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for automated testing of a patient's hearing. The automated hearing test allows the patient to quickly and accurately test his own hearing with minimal or no assistance from an audiologist or other hearing health professionals. The test prompts and instructs the patient for inputs and responses as needed. The patient can select one or several tests to be performed, including air and bone conduction testing with masking, speech reception threshold, speech discrimination, tympanogram, acoustic reflex, and otoacoustic emissions testing. Multiple languages are supported. Data obtained from one test may be used for another test or another iteration of the same test to calculate masking levels. The automatic hearing test also detects ambient noise and can compensate for it in the test results. If a contingency occurs, the automated hearing test is configured to page the operator for assistance.

Abstract: A nozzle has a body 101 with a central cavity 103 from which a plurality of fire extinguishant fluid outlets 109B extend. The outlets extend non-radially with respect to the central axis 135 of the cavity 103, i.e. at least a portion of each outlet is inclined with respect to any plane parallel to and passing through the central axis of the cavity which intersects the portion of the outlet. The extinguishant from the non-radial outlets 109B is thrown towards the walls of the chamber 139, along the paths 141. The jets of the fluid induce a rotational movement within the ambient fluid (for example, air) already present in the chamber, thus creating a vortex or rotational movement of the fluid within the chamber 139. In another embodiment, the vortex or rotational movement is generated by a nozzle assembly of generally cruciform configuration with three or more discharge tubes having outlets formed therein for discharging extinguishant in equi-angularly-spaced directions. <IMAGE>
