Patent EP-1155610-A3 (EP)
Inventor: VAN DEN BERG KAREL
IPC: G01F1/708
Filed: 1997-03-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a quantity meter for determining the
quantity of liquid flowing through a line, said quantity meter
comprising two electrically conductive elements, provided in
the line at a fixed measuring distance from each other, which
are connected to an electronic circuit, whereby the diameter
of the line, at least across the measuring distance, is such
that during flowing through of the liquid the volume of the
line across the measuring distance is completely filled for
some time, and whereby furthermore in the electronic circuit
the quantity (V) of liquid flowed through is determined on the
basis of the electric conductivity (G(t)) of the liquid
measured therein, dimensioning parameters of the quantity
meter and the rate of flow (v) of the liquid. Each of the
electrically conductive elements is constituted by a tube-like
element, which tube-like elements are both kept at a fixed
mutual distance (1) from each other by means of a further
tube-like element made of an electrically non-conductive
material and having an internal diameter which equals that of
the adjacent parts of the two electrically conductive tube-like
elements.

Abstract: An on-board diagnostic method for detecting whether a
diesel emissions control system is functioning properly by
continuously monitoring the temperature rise generated by
the catalyst and the light-off temperature with reference to
theoretical values stored in an engine control computer.
When either of the parameters falls below a predetermined
threshold value, the vehicle emissions may exceed emission
standards and, if so, the system causes a malfunction
indicator light (MIL) to be energize to advise the driver of
the need for service.

Inventor: EVARD PHILIP C
IPC: A61F2/958

Abstract: The invention provides an endovascular device
(20) for partitioning the ascending aorta and a system
for arresting the heart to facilitate the performance
of procedures such as heart valve replacement or
coronary artery bypass grafting without the need for a
thoracotomy. According to the invention, an
endovascular device (20) for partitioning a patient's
ascending aorta comprises a flexible shaft (22) having
a distal end (24), a proximal end (26), and a first
inner lumen (29) therebetween with an opening (31) at
the distal end (24). The shaft (22) may have a
preshaped distal portion (32) with a curvature
generally corresponding to the curvature of the
patient's aortic arch. Expandable means (28) are
disposed near the distal end (24) of the shaft (22)
proximal to the opening (31) in the first inner lumen
(20) for occluding the ascending aorta so as to block
substantially all blood flow therethrough for a
plurality of cardiac cycles. Means (90) for delivering
cardioplegic fluid may be connected to the proximal end
(26) of the device to infuse cardioplegic fluid into
the coronary arteries for arresting the heart. The
endovascular device of the invention is readily
positionable in the ascending aorta, resists
displacement caused by systolic blood flow, and
maintains axial alignment with the center of the
ascending aorta and aortic valve.

IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: The system and the method are used for detecting a level of liquid metal at a given
location, such as a launder set between an holding furnace and a casting pit. The
system comprises an emitter coil and a receiver coil in a side-by-side configuration
and in close proximity of the location. In use, an AC signal is applied to the emitter
coil for producing an alternating magnetic flux. At least a part of the magnetic flux
passes through the location where the level of liquid metal needs to be measured
and goes back into the receiver coil. The signal in the receiver coil is monitored
and the data are conveyed to a control module which determines the level of liquid
metal from the variation of the signal in the receiver coil. The coils of the system
are advantageously provided with respective core elements having a high
magnetic permeability and which are configured and disposed to channel the
magnetic flux. As a result, the system is not significantly affected by the presence
of steel on the frame side of the launder and is capable of determining the level of
liquid metal with a high signal to noise ratio. It can also be used at other locations
besides a launder.

Abstract: In a fuel injection nozzle 1 for an internal
combustion engine, a frictional force reducing member 9 is
interposed between a seating surface 36 of a shoulder portion
31 of a nozzle body 3 and an inner seating surface 32 of a
bearing portion 33 of a retaining nut 6, whereby a frictional
force developed between both seating surfaces 36 and 32 can be
diminished without performing a high-degree of surface
machining on the inner seating surface 32 of a bearing portion
33 of the retaining nut 6, even if the surface roughness of the
inner seating surface 32 of a bearing portion of the retaining
nut 6 is large. Consequently, it is possible to prevent
deformation of a slide portion 7 of the nozzle needle 2 which
is attributable to a twist of the nozzle body 3 caused by
frictional force.

Abstract: A method of starting an electric brushless rotating machine
is provided where a large startup torque is obtained with no
use of any rotor position detecting device and the forced
commutation can be switched to normal energization easily and
smoothly. At the startup stage, any two of three-phase stator
windings are energized for initial magnetization (Steps S1 and
S2) to hold the magnetic rotor at a position. Then, the windings
of the phases are energized in a sequence while gradually
increasing the level of the energization (Step S3). During the
forced commutation, the magnetic rotor (12) is rotated by a
rotating position detecting signal generated from a voltage
signal induced on the not-energized windings to drive the output
shaft of an engine. Then, the energization is canceled when
the number of revolutions in the internal combustion engine (2)
determined from the rotating position detecting signal reaches
its predetermined level.
