Abstract: Torsion springs (1) are graded by both winding and
unwinding them in a test fixture (20) having a central
arbor (52a) and ledges (54, 58) functionally
corresponding to the use of the springs. This takes
hysteresis into account. Data obtained at a known
location is approximated as separate straight lines for
winding and unwinding. The rotation at the
predetermined base or preload torque is determined from
the straight lines, and the two values are averaged. To
this average value a large predetermined amount (70
degrees) of rotation is added, the torque at that value
of rotation is determined from the straight lines, and
the two values are averaged. The spring is graded as
acceptable when that average torque is within a
predetermined range.

Abstract: A control system for an internal combustion engine
comprising a direct cylinder fuel injection valve for
directly injecting the fuel into a cylinder of an
internal combustion engine. The main fuel that burns in
the cylinder is injected in the latter half of the
compression stroke of the cylinder, and the secondary
fuel which is the ineffective fuel that does not burn in
the cylinder is injected in the latter half of the
exhaust stroke, the main fuel and the secondary fuel
being injected toward a cavity formed in the top surface
of the piston. The main fuel that is injected is
deflected by the cavity to form a charge of a combustible
air-fuel ratio mixture around the spark plug. When the
secondary fuel is injected, the exhaust valve is opening,
and the fuel that is deflected is all discharged out of
the cylinder through the exhaust port. Therefore, the
ineffective fuel supplied by the secondary fuel injection
does not remain in the cylinder, and the output torque
does not change in the combustion of the next cycle.
