Abstract: In a domestic environment (DA) there is present a
hot-water distribution system (HW) to which there is
connected at least one electrical household appliance
(WM, DW). The hot water is introduced into the
distribution system (HW) by means of a respective
supply apparatus (HWS), and the operating cycle of the
electrical household appliance (WM, DW) entails the use
of a working amount of hot water at a working
temperature. The control system (SC1) of the electrical
household appliance is operative for:
   a) detecting the value of the temperature of the
water available in the first distribution system (HW);   b) drawing into the electrical household appliance
(WM, DW) a mass of hot water compatible with the
temperature and the working amount associated to the
operating cycle selected for the electrical household
appliance (WM, DW);   c) modifying the operating cycle of the electrical
appliance (WM, DW) according to the amount of heat
introduced into the appliance itself, understood as the
product of the mass and the temperature of the water
taken in by the distribution system (HW).

Abstract: An direct fuel injection spark ignition internal combustion engine comprises a fuel injection valve (11, 11', 11") arranged at a substantially center part of an upper are of a combustion chamber (4), and a piston (3) having a crown surface with a cavity (3a) shaped so that a center axis of a substantially conical-shaped fuel stream injected from the fuel injection valve (11, 11', 11 ") is substantially coincident with a center axis of the piston (3). In a low-load stratified combustion operating region when spark ignition is executed, the fuel injection angle is increased to form a first combustible air-fuel mixture before the fuel stream collides against the cavity of the piston crown surface. In a high-load stratified combustion operating region, the fuel injection angle is reduced to form a second combustible air-fuel mixture after the fuel stream collides against the cavity of the piston crown surface.

Abstract: In a liquid-level-position control device for a condenser in a Rankine cycle apparatus, first and second reference liquid level positions (H B , H A ) are set. When a position (H L ) of the fluid level is lower than the first reference liquid level position, water is replenished to a condenser (13) by a liquid-phase working medium supply section. When the position of the fluid level is higher than the second reference liquid level position, the liquid-phase working medium is discharged from within the condenser by a liquid-phase working medium discharge section. In this way, the liquid level, which is a boundary surface between water vapor and condensed water within the condenser, can be constantly kept at an optimal position.

Abstract: A display method and a display apparatus capable of discriminating correctly between a true peak and noise peaks in a waveform data of a fluorescence analysis result that is obtained from an electrophoresis experiment of PCR amplification products of a DNA fragment and also capable of displaying them are provided. Whether or not a complex peak waveform is generated is judged based on sequence information on a DNA marker. When a complex peak waveform is generated, a peak judging algorithm dedicated to complex peak waveform is applied. This peak judging algorithm is characterized in that peak misjudgment can be avoided by making the distance between a first fitting position of a basic waveform and a second fitting position of the basic waveform longer than a unit length at the time of fitting the basic waveform.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen geräuschoptimierten Mantellüfter mit einem Lüfterrad, das von einer Nabe ausgehende Lüfterflügel und einen die Lüfterflügel an ihren nabenfernen Enden umschließenden, mit dem Lüfterrad umlaufenden Lüftermantel aufweist. 
     Die Erfindung geht von der Überlegung aus, dass bei einem Lüfter, ohne den Luftdurchsatz negativ zu beeinflussen, eine Geräuschreduzierung dann erreichbar ist, wenn einerseits das Konzept des Mantellüfters verwendet wird und andererseits eine zumindest teilweise schwingungstechnische Entkopplung der Lüfterflügel vorgenommen wird. Durch die vorgeschlagene Maßnahme wirkt der Lüftermantel sowohl strömungstechnisch wie auch strömungsakustisch ebenso wie bei einem konventionellen Mantellüfter, das Abstrahlverhalten der schwingungstechnisch entkoppelten Lüfterflügel hinsichtlich des in das Lüfterrad eingeleiteten Körperschalls entspricht dagegen weitgehend dem von mantellosen Lüftern.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the present invention provides a rotor assembly. The exemplary rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor laminations, which cooperate to form a rotor core, capped at each end by end members. Extending through the rotor core and the end members, a plurality of rotor channels is configured to receive electrically conductive members therethrough. Each of the electrically conductive members has external portions, which extend beyond the rotor channel, and an interior portion that is housed within the rotor channel. By flexing the external portions, a compression force that secures the laminations and the end members with respect to one another may be provided. Advantageously, the external portions may be fused to one another and/or to the end members. As one example, the external portions may be fused through the introduction of a molten metal into the end member. Advantageously, fusing of the external portions to the end members and/or one another increases the mechanical integrity of the rotor and provides for good electrical communicativeness between the conductive members, for example.

Abstract: A metered dose inhaler (10) for use with a pressurized aerosol canister (18) includes a housing (12) defining a conduit (16) with a mouthpiece (56), and an actuator (26) with a nozzle discharge orifice (30) arranged to discharge aerosol into the conduit. An air tube (34) is arranged within the conduit with an inlet (38) of the air tube formed in the conduit wall (74) and an outlet (36) of the air tube in opposing relationship with the nozzle orifice. Inhalation through the mouthpiece causes air to be drawn into the inlet and flow out of the outlet of the air tube to form an air jet which impinges on an oppositely moving aerosol plume from the orifice. Auxiliary air inlets (46) in the closed end (24) of the conduit provide a boundary layer flow along the inner wall (44) of the conduit. Vortex generators (54) on the inner wall of the conduit add vorticity and turbulence to the boundary layer flow. Automatic actuation of the canister responsive to the patient's inhalation is achieved by a canister trigger (154) connected to a movable piston assembly (132) forming a wall of a variable-volume chamber (162) in fluid communication with a venturi (184) in the air tube. Air drawn through the venturi by the user's breath causes evacuation of air from the chamber, thereby moving the piston assembly and trigger to cause actuation of the canister.
