Abstract: An insert which forms the show or finish surface (the surface exposed to the weather) for an elastomeric gasket in an encapsulated window assembly is thermoformed from a sheet of plastic and placed in the lower half of a mold. A sheet of glazing material is also placed in the lower mold half and an upper mold half is utilized to close the mold cavity. Gasket forming material is injected into the mold cavity to form a gasket in situ which adheres to both the peripheral marginal areas of the transparent sheet and the insert. The insert can be formed with a gate portion which extends into the gate area of the mold and prevents the gasket forming material from flowing onto the surface of the insert which is to be exposed in the final glazing. In one embodiment, the insert can be formed in its final configuration with a central opening leaving the transparent sheet exposed. In an alternate embodiment, the insert is formed with a centrally disposed portion which covers the transparent sheet material to protect it. A groove can be formed in the insert to facilitate removal of the central portion.

Abstract: An ''active'' suspension system provides two parallel force-transmitting paths between the body and wheel of a vehicle. The first path has a main spring (41), and the second path includes an actuator (42) and a spring (43). LVDT's (53, 55) are arranged to monitor the displacements of the actuator (42) and the spring (43). The actuator is arranged in a high-gain closed position or velocity servoloop. The actual force (Fw) exerted by the suspension system on the body is determined and compared with a desired force (Fc) to produce a force error signal (Fe). The force error signal (Fe) is converted to a command signal supplied to the servoloop. The servoloop operates the actuator (42) so as to continuously drive the force error signal (Fe) toward zero.

Granted: 1993-03-03
Abstract: A fastener released upon closing a door is equipped with a lock case (4) which has a lock cover (3) with a passage orifice (3'') provided in it for the bolt (2) spring-loaded in the direction of its extended locking position and in which is accommodated a spring-loaded clamping plate (6) engaging round the bolt (2) by means of a clamping lug (6'') and making it possible to block it in any insertion positions. Furthermore, there is a latch (5) under spring force which likewise passes through the lock cover (3) and which is pressed in when it strikes the door frame and thereby pivots the clamping plate (6) into its release position freeing the bolt (2). To achieve a simple and easily mountable compact design, the latch (5) is equipped with a cavity (5') which extends continuously in its direction of displacement and through which the bolt (2) is to be inserted. Advantageously, the lock case (4) and the latch (5) are hollow-cylindrical and, together with the correspondingly annular clamping plate (6) and a compression spring (7) loading it, are arranged concentrically relative to the bolt (2) to be inserted centrally through all of them. <IMAGE>

Title: Internal-combustion engine having two hydraulic liquid loops
IPC: F01M5/00
Filed: 1989-12-21
Granted: 1992-11-11
Abstract: An internal-combustion engine having two hydraulic fluid circuits which are connected in parallel and are supplied by means of a bypass restrictor on the control valve, from a source having a pump. Hydraulic circuits having two parallel loops in a supply unit which are supplied by means of a pump and in which one circuit has control valves with a specific opening pressure and with a specific flow characteristic generally provide an inadequate supply to one of the two loops under specific transient, operationally-dependent conditions. In the case of the fluid circuit with valves, one control valve is integrated with a bypass restrictor, as a result of which the inadequate supply of the loop provided with valves is circumvented such that a minimum supply of this loop is made possible even when the valve is closed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Filter for diesel fuel, particularly for feeding Diesel engines of motor vehicles, comprising a self-adjusting heater for the diesel fuel, arranged on the head of the filter, a filter cartridge (2) and a lower decantation chamber (10). The body of the filter comprises a cylindrical bowl (1) to which a cover (14) is welded on to which then a removable cover or head (25) is screwed, all made of thermoplastic material with an appropriate filler. The heater is a polymeric PTC resistor of a flat shape (35) with a circular crown, which extends over the entire free cross section of the filter head traversed by the diesel fuel. The heater is secured to the head by a cup-shaped supporting element (40), with holes for the passage of the diesel fuel into the bowl below. Current is supplied by a pair of conductors (52, 62) terminating with only two electric contacts one of which is located on one surface of the polymeric PTC resistor and the other on the supporting element (40) in direct contact with the opposed surface of the resistor. A thermoelectric switch (70) deenergizes the heater when the temperature of the entering diesel fuel exceeds a predetermined value. In operation the polymeric PTC resistor provides a greater amount of heat at the lower temperature according to an intrinsically self-adjusting behaviour.

Abstract: The present invention involves a method and device for obtaining plasma from whole blood and determining one or more analytes contained therein. A sample of blood is first applied to a physical transport medium which moves at least a portion of the blood from a remote location thereon to a second location thereon to a first surface of a microporous plasma separation membrane. This movement is achieved by gravity, absorption or capillary action and the physical transport medium may be a sheet of fabric with weave or otherwise or a channeled or grooved synthetic material. Once the blood has moved to the first surface of the microporous plasma separation membrane, the plasma is absorbed and passes through the membrane, thereby separated from the whole blood (and the red color). The plasma reaches the second (opposite) surface of the microporous plasma separation membrane and contacts a plasma collecting test membrane. This test membrane is capable of reacting with the plasma (i.e. one of its components) to display at least one analyte characteristic thereof. Preferably, colorimetric reaction takes place and color intensity indicates concentration level of the analyte in the blood.

Abstract: LNG is pumped to high pressure, vaporized, further heated and then expanded to create rotary power that is used to generate electrical power. A reservoir of carbon dioxide at about its triple point is created in an insulated vessel to store energy in the form of refrigeration recovered from the evaporated LNG. During peak electrical power periods, liquid carbon dioxide is withdrawn therefrom, pumped to a high pressure, vaporized, further heated, and expanded to create rotary power which generates additional electrical power. The exhaust from a fuel-fired combustion turbine, connected to an electrical power generator, heats the high pressure carbon dioxide vapor. The discharge stream from the CO2 expander is cooled and at least partially returned to the vessel where vapor condenses by melting stored solid carbon dioxide. During off-peak periods, CO2 vapor is withdrawn from the reservoir and condensed to liquid by vaporizing LNG, so that use is always efficiently made of the available refrigeration from the vaporizing LNG, and valuable peak electrical power is available when needed by using the stored energy in the CO2 reservoir.
