IPC: F01L1/344
Filed: 2004-01-30
Abstract: A variable cam timing phaser for an internal combustion engine having at least one
camshaft (9) comprising a housing (2), a rotor (1), a spool valve (109), and a recirculation check valve (302). The
housing and the rotor define at least one vane (16) which separate chambers (17a,17b), advanced and
retard. The spool valve comprises a spool (104) having a plurality of lands mounted within a
bore in the rotor. The spool is slidable from an advance position through a holding
position to a retard position. The phaser also has an advance exhaust passage (106), a retard
exhaust passage (107), and a return passage (304) to route operating fluid to the chambers. The
recirculation check valve is in the return passage and only allows flow of fluid from the
advance chamber into the return passage when the spool is in the retard position and fluid
from the retard chamber into the return passage when the spool is in the advance position.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a novel process for making Group I I metal
carbonated, overbased Mannich condensation products of alkylphenols,
which process uses ethylene carbonate as both a source of carbon dioxide
and ethylene glycol. In particular, under the reaction conditions using
ethylene carbonate in the present invention, carbonation and overbasing
Mannich condensation products of alkylphenols is possible while at the same
time the viscosity of the carbonated, overbased Mannich condensation
products of alkylphenols remains within acceptable levels, typically under
1000 cSt at 100°C. The present invention is also directed to carbonation of
Mannich condensation products of alkylphenols using a C 2 -C 6  alkaline glycol
and carbon dioxide. The present invention is also directed to a detergent-dispersant
antioxidant additive composition comprising Group II metal
carbonated, overbased Mannich condensation products of alkylphenols,
wherein the Group II metal carbonated, overbased Mannich condensation
products of alkylphenols have a CO 2  to Ca ratio of at least 0.01.

Abstract: The power consumption when the memory is accessed is often a concern for low power microcontroller systems. Specifically it is desirable to minimize the power consumption during the often very long periods of processor idling time. The invention presented implements a power saving technique by replacing the program memory, containing the idle-program-routine with a simple hard wired address-decoder and coded-data-driver to produce the very few program instructions to run the processor in a permanent loop. The minimum implementation just produces the few bytes for a single instruction to jump back to its own address. As there are very few circuits involved, its memory power consumption is nearly zero.

Abstract: The method involves illuminating the retina successively with first and second (different) excitation radiation. Each radiation has a narrow spectrum centered on a wavelength belonging to the excitation spectra of each of two fluorescent markers applied to the retina. Respective fluorescent images in the form of two two-dimensional matrices of pixels, at the peak wavelengths of the fluorescence emission spectra, are formed. For each pixel the ratio between the fluorescence levels emitted in response to the two excitation wavelengths is representative of the pH of the retina, and a map of the pH of the retina is deduced. Independent claims are given for: (a) a device for intra-retinal pH mapping; and (b) a device for photocoagulation of regions of the retina comprising the intra-retinal pH mapping device and a laser.

Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator is described in which a rotor comprising permanent magnet means is rotatable in a stator which is magnetisable by causing an electric current to flow through at least one winding associated with the stator. The rotor has at least two stable rest positions, each defined by spring and/or magnetic forces acting on the rotor. Spring means stores energy during part of the movement of the rotor and provides kinetic energy for accelerating the rotor during subsequent movement thereof away from rest in one position towards another. A magnetic torque is exerted on the rotor when a current flows in said at least one winding which is sufficient to overcome the force(s) holding the rotor in that rest position, to cause the rotor to rotate in a direction from that rest position towards another a rest position. The rotor is connected to a thrust member by a mechanical linkage by which the rotational movement of the rotor is converted into substantially linear movement. The linkage has a mechanical advantage which varies in a predetermined manner during the rotation of the rotor. The actuator can be used to open and close a valve of an internal combustion engine. A power supply is provided for delivering current to the actuator from a current source so as to operate the actuator in an energy efficient manner.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de fabrication d'un article dans une matière plastique, cet article comprenant une âme remplie de mousse expansée et ayant une densité moyenne comprise entre 50 et 600 kg/m3 et un revêtement extérieur solide ou semi-solide ayant une densité moyenne supérieure à 700 kg/m3. Ce procédé consiste à injecter une quantité prédéterminée d'une matière thermoplastique fondue dans la cavité d'un moule fermé, le matériau thermoplastique contenant un agent gonflant, puis laisser la matière thermoplastique se solidifier quelque peu le plus près de la surface, de façon à former ainsi le revêtement. Une première partie du moule se rétracte ensuite, tandis que la seconde partie reste en position fermée, ce qui permet d'obtenir une augmentation volumétrique de la cavité du moule. La pression dans le moule est donc réduire, l'agent gonflant pouvant ainsi dilater la matière thermoplastique. On laisse ensuite refroidir et se solidifier la matière thermoplastique fondue jusqu'à ce qu'on puisse ouvrir le moule et en retirer l'article.
