Inventor: KONDO JUN
IPC: F02M55/00
Filed: 2003-07-03
Abstract: In an accumulation type fuel injection system for an
internal combustion engine, a common rail (1) is formed with
an accumulation chamber (22) inside a peripheral wall portion
(21) so that a central axis of the accumulation chamber (22)
is deviated from that of the common rail (1), which has a
cross section in the shape of a complete round. Thus, a thick
wall portion having thicker wall than other portion of the
peripheral wall portion (21) is formed in the peripheral wall
portion (21). A plurality of pipe connecting portions (25,
26) is formed radially inside the thick wall portion. A
plurality of pipe connectors is formed separately from the
common rail (1) and is connected to the common rail (1) at the
pipe connecting portions (25, 26). As a result, machining of
an outer periphery of the common rail (1) is simplified.

Abstract: The invention relates to aspects in context with updating a data base that is jointly
used by two or more different processing mechanisms on the basis of multi-dimensional
data sets. A network component performing this task includes a master
data base for storing master data including static data and a multi-dimensional
generic data template having predefined data fields relating to elementary information
determined by the data input requirements of the different processing mechanisms.
An interface is provided for receiving accounting-related data sets from a
plurality of individual sub-systems. Processing resources having access to the master
data base generate for each accounting-related data set one or more associated
multi-dimensional data sets by deriving elementary information included in the
accounting-related data set and in static data associated with the accounting-related
data set and by writing the derived elementary information in corresponding data
fields of the data template. On the basis of the elementary information contained in
the one or more multi-dimensional data sets an elementary data base that is jointly
used by the different processing mechanisms to generate report data sets is updated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for isolating from connective tissue a variety of glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-peptide complexes and polypeptides which are substantially free of contaminating DNA and other molecules such as viruses which may be associated with the DNA in the cell. The invention also relates to uses of GAG-peptide complexes and polypeptides substantially free of DNA either directly, or after further processing, for the treatment, protection and restoration of connective tissues in inflammatory and degenerative disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in any of their multiple forms or other degenerative conditions in mammal. Figure 2 shows photomicrographs (magnification X 400) of histological sections of 3mm bovine tracheal cartilage powders particles before and after subjecting them to the autolysis procedure using 100mM calcium acetate buffer, pH 4,5 at 37 degrees C. Panels A and C are sections of cartilage before autolytic processing and B and D after. Panels A and B show the results of staining with Toluidine Blue (TB), a dye which binds to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) while C and D show sections stained with Masson Trichrome (Masson TC), a dye known to stain native collagen fibres magenta colour. Note the loss of staining for GAGs in section B after autolysis but a slightly increased intensity of staining for collagen following the removal of the majority of GAGs as shown in D. Cell nuclei, identified in these sections by the green counterstains are clearly unchanged by the autolytic process.

Abstract: A method and device for the evaluation of signals of a sensor, in particular of a microwave sensor, is proposed for the detection of the thickness, mass, density and/or moisture of at least one fiber sliver moving relative to the sensor on drafting equipment. A high-frequency unit assigned to the sensor produces a number of first digital signals in digital form of the current state of the (at least one) fiber sliver. The method according to the invention is characterized in that a second digital signal, representing the current sliver thickness or sliver mass of the (at least one) fiber sliver and which is then used to control the drafting equipment and/or to judge the fiber sliver quality, is formed according to an algorithm from the first digital signals made available. In addition a suitable device for the evaluation of the signals of a sensor is proposed.
