Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine includes an engine (1) capable of fuel combustion at lean air-fuel ratios, a lean NOx catalyst (3) installed in an exhaust conduit (16) of the engine, an HC producing means (2, 4, 6, 11, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 32) for producing hydrocarbons of low boiling points utilizing fuel for the engine, and an HC supply means (7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 27, 28, 29) for supplying the hydrocarbons of low boiling points to the exhaust conduit (16) upstream of the lean NOx catalyst (3). NOx reduction reaction needs hydrocarbons of low boiling points. The HC producing means produces hydrocarbons of low boiling points from diesel oil by cracking, fractional distillation, or both cracking and fractional distillation. The cracked and/or distilled fuel includes a large amount of hydrocarbons of low boiling points and increases NOx purification rate of the lean NOx catalyst (3) when the hydrocarbons of low boiling points are introduced into the exhaust conduit (3) by the HC supply means.

Abstract: Individual frame profiles (1, 21, 27, 30, 34) can be braced against one another to form an exchangeable frame by means of a bistable spring clamping element (9). An exchangeable frame of this type has at least two separation joints (10) which are arranged at opposite points on the frame, each have at least one bistable spring clamping element and thus allow rapid opening or closing of the separation joint (10). For the purpose of guidance, the frame profile has two inwardly directed, plate-type projections (2, 3) which are arranged parallel to the picture plane. The space between these projections (2, 3) serves as a guide space (12) in which a plate-type guide part (6) is arranged movably towards at least one side of the frame. Located in the movable side of the guide part is a connecting link cutout (7) which is designed in terms of shape such that a power accumulator (8) is mounted by one end (23b) so as to be axially rotatable in a counter bearing (19) while the other end (23a) is arranged so as to be displaceable along the path (16) of the connecting link from one of the two power accumulator end positions (15b) to the other (15a) or vice versa, the separation joint (10) being held in the closed position (15a) under a prestress of the power accumulator (8). The power accumulator (8) and frame profile projections (2, 3), connected to one another by a connecting pin (13), together with the guide part (6) and the connecting link cutout (7) arranged therein form the bistable spring clamping element (9). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to test whether a push-fit joint has been correctly assembled, a test device (26) is assembled as part of the joint. The test device is constructed with an included rupturable region (34) which will rupture at a predetermined pull-out force. After assembly of the joint, the test device (26) is pulled. If the joint has been misassembled, then the pull out force will be sufficient to disassemble the joint, but if the joint has been correctly made then the test device will break at the rupturable point. The absence of the visible end of the test device will then indicate that the joint has (a) been correctly assembled, and (b) that the assembly has been tested.

Abstract: A low salt level sensor comprising a float (24) within a brine tank (10), means for detecting whether said float (24) has risen in response to the addition of a predetermined amount of water (12) to said brine tank to a height such that an adequate supply of salt (14) is present in said brine tank (10) and means for indicating if the float (24) has not risen high enough. A method of detecting whether the salt level is low in the brine tank of a water treatment system is also described. According to this method, brine is removed from the brine tank and a predetermined amount of a water is added. A determination is then made as to whether the brine level has reached a height such that an adequate supply of salt is present in said brine tank and an indication is provided if the brine level is below this height.

Abstract: An ultrasonic imaging system for guiding a user in the placement of a medical instrument (10) within the body is described. As the medical instrument (10) approaches the image plane of an imaging transducer (14), ultrasonic wave energy (18) is received by a transducer (22) located on the medical instrument. The level of received energy is detected and used to develop a control signal which varies as a function of the quantum of received energy. The control signal is used to modulate an audible indicator (90), which provides an audible indiction of proximity of the medical instrument to the image plane as the instrument approaches and intersects the plane. A visual marker is produced on an image display (16) which represents the location of the instrument within the body. As the instrument approaches and intersects the image plane the visual marker is also modulated. The system includes a test and calibration mode of operation, which exercises components of the medical instrument transducer signal processor (12), and also transmits calibration signals to the image display for calibration and verification purposes prior to the commencement of a medical procedure.
