Title: Crash responsive pedal mechanism for a motor vehicle
Inventor: JELBKE CHRISTIAN
IPC: B60K23/02
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: A pedal mechanism for a motor vehicle comprises a bearing bracket 1 and a pedal lever 2, which is pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation on the bearing bracket 1, as well as a crash lever 8 which is pivotably mounted on the bearing bracket 1. The crash lever 8 has a cutting edge 9, which lies alongside the bearing of the pedal lever 2 on the bearing bracket 1, and a member 10 which engages around the pedal lever 2. In the event of a crash the crash lever 8 pivots about axis A, the cutting edge 9 is displaced relative to the bearing bracket 1 in order to release the pedal lever 2 from its bearing, and the member 10 pushes the pedal lever 2 in the direction of the bearing bracket 1. Since both the function of breaking open the pedal bearing and also the function of pivoting the pedal lever away from the driver are provided by the same component, namely the crash lever 8, the risk of functional interference is reduced to a minimum.

Title: Use of a bit mask to control the arrangement of data via a permutation circuit
Inventor: SYMES DOMINIC HUGO
IPC: G06F7/24
Filed: 2008-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for permuting data. It comprises a register bank and data processing, permutation and control circuitry. The control circuitry is responsive to program instructions to make the processing circuitry carry out data processing operations and responsive to control-generating instructions which generate (depending upon a bit mask) control signals to configure the permutation circuitry for performing permutation operations on an input operand. The bit-mask is used to indicate a first group of data elements having a first ordering and a second group of data elements having a second ordering within the input operand. The permutation operation is such that it preserves one of the first ordering and second ordering but changes the other. The ordering comprises reversed ordering, the permutation operation is one of an interleave or de-interleave operation, the input operand comprises of a packed vector, and the bit mask is a Boolean register. Further, the permutation circuitry comprises a constant geometry butterfly network where the bit mask defines the pairs of input values that should be swapped.

Title: Semiconductor device comprising soi transistors and bulk transistors and a method of forming the same
Inventor: FEUDEL THOMAS
IPC: H01L21/8244
Filed: 2007-03-30
Abstract: By forming bulk-like transistors (151B) in sensitive RAM areas of otherwise SOI-based CMOS circuits, a significant savings in valuable chip area may be achieved since the RAM areas may be formed on the basis of a bulk transistor configuration, thereby eliminating hysteresis effects that may typically be taken into consideration by providing transistors of increased transistor width or by providing body ties. Hence, the benefit of high switching speed may be maintained in speed-critical circuitry, such as CPU cores, while at the same time the RAM circuit may be formed in a highly space-efficient manner.

Title: An improved method of providing crucibles and tools for use in contact with molten masses with a protective coating
IPC: F27B14/10
Filed: 1935-04-01
Abstract: Crucibles and tools for use with molten metal or salt baths, including furnaces to contain molten materials and tools for holding and supporting articles to be treated, are provided with a heat-resisting protective coating of such a composition that it is viscous or plastic at the temperature of the melt.  The coating may be made for example of mixtures of boric acid, boric oxide, phosphoric anhydride, borates, and phosphates, with or without the addition of refractory materials such as graphite and asbestos, and its specific gravity is preferably about the same as that of the melt with which it is to be in contact.  The coating may be applied by dipping the articles into the mixture in molten form, or by sprinkling or painting.  The surface of the article may be roughened mechanically or chemically before the coating is applied; for example, an iron crucible may be coated with aluminium, heated to 1000 DEG  C., and the surface subsequently rendered porous by treatment with dilute acid or alkalies.  An outer layer of solid heatresisting material in the form of powder, grains, or plates may be applied to the plastic coating.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fusion welding
IPC: B23K33/00
Filed: 1939-04-03
Abstract: 527,223. Uniting by fusion. BABCOCK & WILCOX. Ltd. April 3, 1939, No. 10384. Convention date, July 12, 1938. [Class 83 (iv)] In a method of fusion welding, particularly for butt welding the edges of a thick plate or plates A, B, forming the wall of a pressure vessel, the edges of the parts are formed with a welding groove 2 having a relatively thin rear wall 1, and a temporary support 4 for retaining the weld metal is positioned behind the groove and spaced from the rear wall thereof so that when welding is carried out the rear wall collapses by fusion and flows on to the support without being firmly welded thereto. Welding may thus be effected entirely from one side of the work. The groove may be made by forming the plates with tongues 1 of uniform thickness over a width adjacent the tips, the tongues being placed in contact with each other or separated by a small gap. The support, which may consist of an iron strip is locally welded at 5 to the plates and may be spaced from the wall of the groove by packing pieces 3 so that the distance of the joint from the support is half the thickness of the tongues. When welding curved parts the packing pieces may be dispensed with. The parts are preferably preheated before welding, welding being effected in a series of layers by an arc welding electrode and the support then removed. The fused metal between the back of the plates and the support forms a ridge on the back of the joint. This ridge is free from blow holes since the preheated support prevents too rapid cooling of the weld metal.
