IPC: B60J10/00
Filed: 1989-08-15
Abstract: A sealing strip, such as for fitting along the bottom of door openings in motor vehicle body construction, comprises a base 14 extruded from relatively hard rubber and defining a channel 17 for receiving T-shapod studs 24 fixed at intervals along the bodywork. Stainless steel metal strips 20, 22 are embedded within the base and have V-shaped portions which are clear of the extruded material and face each other across the mouth of the channel. The base is mounted on the studs 24 by forcing the metal strips apart against the resilience of the material of the base so that the V-shaped portions thereafter engage the undersides of the heads of the studs. A hollow sealing part 16 made of softer material is supported by the base. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle brake fluid pressure control apparatus
Inventor: ARIKAWA TETSURO
IPC: B60T8/175
Filed: 1989-11-28
Abstract: A brake fluid pressure control apparatus includes a control unit 31 for measuring braking slip and driving slip of the vehicle wheels 6a, 6b, 11a, 11b. Fluid pressure control valves 4a, 4b are arranged in first brake conduits 3b, 16b between the master cylinder 1 and the wheel cylinders 7a, 7b, 12a, 12b and receive instructions from the control unit 31 for controlling brake fluid pressures at the wheels. A hydraulic reservoir 25 reserves brake fluid discharged through the fluid pressure control valves 4a, 4b from the wheel cylinders 7a, 7b, 12a, 12b. Fluid pressure pumps 20a, 20b are driven during braking slip and driving slip control. Changeover valves 26a, 26b are arranged in the main conduit system 3, 16, either allowing the master cylinder 1 to communicate with the fluid pressure control valves 4a, 4b in normal operation and in the braking slip control operation, or allowing the master cylinder 1 to communicate with wheel cylinders via second brake conduits 34a, 34b and check valves 35a, 35b in the driving slip control operation. Thus the brakes will respond to application of pedal 2 even when the apparatus is in a driving slip control operation wherein pumps 20a, 20b supply fluid pressure via control values 4a, 4b to the driven wheel cylinders 7a, 7b. The control valves and changeover valves may be operated independently. …<IMAGE>…

Title: Dental syringe needle protector
Inventor: NG TZE CHUEN
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 1991-12-20
Abstract: A protector for a dental syringe needle comprises a sheath 7, which can be slid over the syringe body and can be locked at a position to fully cover the needle before and after injection and at intervals with the needle exposed between multiple injections. The sheath 7 is universally usable on any syringe of any size between 11 mm and 13 mm by virtue of a ring 1 and screw 2 locking device, which can be anchored to the syringe. The protector is also universally applicable to both long and short needles ranging from 34 mm to 45 mm by virtue of the interlocking contrivance involving the head of the screw 2 and concavities 6B and 6C in a long and narrow slot 5 along the sheath 7. The slot 5 provides a free passage for the sheath 7 over the screw 2. In a modification the locking device is permanently welded onto a detachable metal cap at the needle end of the syringe to fit syringes of a fixed size. The protector precludes accidental pricking of the finger by contaminated dental needles. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of plasticising medium density fibre board
Inventor: HARDY NICHOLAS
IPC: B27K5/00
Filed: 1992-04-04
Abstract: In a method of plasticising medium density fibre board (MDF) the MDF is impregnated with anhydrous ammonia and then reshaped. Prior to said impregnation, the MDF may be exposed to a partial vacuum in an enclosed reaction chamber. Apparatus for carring out the method is also shown. That apparatus comprises a reaction chamber connected to a variable volume reservoir chamber, (defined by, for example, a collapsible bag), and to a vacuum source. As the MDF absorbs ammonia from the reaction chamber, the volume of the reservoir chamber reduces, enabling the pressure of ammonia in the reaction chamber to be maintained.

Title: Glare sensor for a vehicle.
Inventor: HAYAMI TOSHIHISA
IPC: B60Q1/12
Filed: 1993-05-25
Abstract: The apparatus includes a light condensing means (2) for condensing light beams from the fore scene and photo sensing element (4) for sensing the light beams from the light condensing means. The photo sensing element is constructed with photodiodes 7a, 7b. Blue filters (8) are selectively coupled with the photodiodes. With provision of the blue filters, the glare sensor is able to discriminate red light from white light or yellow light. The output signals of the photodiodes with the blue filters and the photodiodes with no filters are used for detecting the direction and color of the light coming from the fore scene. With this, the glare sensor is capable of detecting a condition in which the drivers of forerunning cars and oppositely running cars are being dazzled by lights from the vehicle on which the sensor is mounted. If this condition is detected then the headlamps are adjusted so that the dazzling is stopped. The invention can discriminate between vehicle lights and other light sources such as traffic lights. <IMAGE>
