Patent GB-2329712-A (GB)
Title: Measurement of surface wear
Inventor: COTTERILL RONALD IAN
IPC: F16D66/02
Filed: 1997-09-27
Abstract: A wear determining arrangement 30 for determining wear of a rubbing member of a friction couple, such as an iron brake disc, which is subject to slow wear by frictional engagement by brake pads, comprises a carrier member 31 dimensioned to overlie the rubbing surface of the disc and be releasably attached thereto by electromagnet 51. The carrier supports a transducer 33, such as magnetic displacement sensor having probe 43, that is mounted on a carriage 36 for scanning the probe across the surface. After an initial scan to map the surface the carrier is removed and re-attached after a period of brake usage, whereupon the surface is scanned again and wear assessed. The rate of wear is normally small, and to ensure that the amount which occurs in a reasonable period can be measured, the carrier is provided with datum projections 46 and 47 and the electromagnet is mounted by way of resilient coupling means 52 to bias the carrier into a stable 'tripod' relationship on the surface. Alignment of scan signals at the different times may be by correlation between the signals and/or by an alignment template (71, see Fig 3(a)) which defines a track to be scanned and assists in re-positioning the carrier member with respect to the track subsequently.

Title: Controlling internal combustion engine performance in a motor vehicle
Inventor: HORGAN MATTHEW J
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 1997-11-27
Abstract: A system 10 for controlling internal combustion engine performance in accordance with driver behavior includes a vehicle control computer 12 operable to receive a plurality of vehicle operating parameter signals and control engine fueling based thereon. In accordance with an operational status, or an operational state determined over a predefined time interval, of one or more of the vehicle operating parameter signals such as idle time, excess speed or low mpg, rapid acceleration/deceleration, the system is operable to control available engine performance and notify the driver. The control system 10 is thus operable to reward/penalize driver performance by correspondingly adding/subtracting available engine performance in the form of available engine output power and/or available vehicle speed. Subtracting available engine performance occurs automatically, and adding available engine performance may be either done automatically or according to driver demand. The criteria which determine whether the driver should be rewarded/penalized can be reset, possibly via a satellite link.

Title: Coriolis mass flow meter
Inventor: WRAY TROY
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: A Coriolis mass flow meter comprising a conduit (fig.1, no.10) having an exciter (fig.1, no.12) and two spaced apart sensors 14a, 14b. The exciter can comprise of two spaced apart exciter elements 12a, 12b, each separately controllable. Vibrations are applied to a portion of the conduit (fig.1, no.10) and the sensor means measure the phase difference in the vibration at their positions on the conduit. A digital signal processor 20 implements several functions one of these being the positive feedback from the sensor elements to the exciter elements to maintain resonant oscillation of the conduit by compensating for the phase shift caused by the mass flow. A measure of the mass flow rate is derived from the adjustment of the input signals to the driver of each exciter required to achieve a desired phase shift in the output.

Patent IL-44406-A (IL)
Title: Process and apparatus for continuous casting of metals using an oscillatable mould
IPC: B22D11/04
Filed: 1974-03-12
Abstract: Continuous casting of metal in which molten metal contacts a cooled axial mold wall surface to form a skin increasing in thickness in a direction toward a discharge opening of the mold. At least a portion of the last-mentioned mold surface increases in cross-sectional size over its length in the direction of the discharge opening. The casting is relatively withdrawn from the mold at an average casting rate during the casting operation and also the casting and the mold are oscillated relatively to one another in a particular manner. The maximum velocity capability of oscillation is greater than the casting rate. During oscillation and relative movement of the mold in the casting direction, a substantially constant, compressive loading of the last-mentioned mold surface portion on the skin of the casting is maintained throughout a portion of the last-mentioned movement. Concurrently with the relative movement of the mold in the casting direction, the resistance of the casting to mold movement is allowed to slow the mold velocity to approximately that of the casting, so as to minimize hot tearing of the skin of the casting.

Title: Three-dimensional cloth and production thereof
Inventor: YASUI YOSHIHARU

Filed: 1989-01-18
Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a three-dimensional cloth in a bent form in the longitudinal direction of warp yarns without deteriorating strength in each direction of (X), (Y) and (Z) by weaving weft yarns into a group of many warp yarns stretched in plural rows and columns in a specific state. CONSTITUTION:Weft yarns (y) woven into intercolumnar spaces in a group of warp yarns (z) are partially folded back before a position where part of the weft yarns attain the innermost layer of a three-dimensional cloth in a bent part in the longitudinal direction of the above-mentioned group of the warp yarns (z). Weft yarns (x) are also woven into interrow spaces in the group of warp yarns (z) on the outside of a layer corresponding to the folded back layer of the weft yarns (y). Thereby, the density of the weft yarns (x) and (y) in the bent part is nearly uniform.

Title: Control circuit for magnet type starter motor
Inventor: NAITOU SHIYOUTAROU
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 1984-01-25
Abstract: PURPOSE:To detect the operation of a magnet type starter motor to control the latter upon cranking, by linking the starter motor to a magnet switch for starting the starter motor, and as well by providing a separate third contact which delivers an electrical signal only when the magnet switch is turned on. CONSTITUTION:When a key switch 2 is turned on, a coil 3c in a magnet switch is energized, so that a contact 3d is turned on to start the rotation of a magnet type stater motor 3. A third contact 3g is provided in the contact section of the magnet switch, and therefore, when the magnet switch is actuated, a voltage signal is delivered from a terminal Ig to a control circuit 4 for controlling the stater motor upon cranking. When the key switch 2 is turned off, terminals B, M are open-circuited therebetween, and simultaneously, the signal from the terminal Ig is vanished out. That is, the terminal Ig does not issue the voltage signal other than upon cranking, and therefore the condition of cranking may be surely detected, thereby the control circuit 4 may surely control the starting of the engine.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To operate the photothyristor with high dV/dt and high sensitivity, by connecting a transistor controlled by the phototransistor, between the gate and cathode of the photothyristor which is turned on by an optical signal. CONSTITUTION:When a light beam is not emitted from the light emission diode 1, a base current flows into the base of the transistor 6 through the current control element 8, the transistor 6 is turned on, and the gate and cathode of the photothyristor 3 is short-circuited. Accordingly, as for the photothyristor 3, dV/dt becomes extremely high since the grid and cathode is short-circuited. Subsequently, when an optical signal 2 is output from the light emission diode 1, the phototransistor 7 is turned on, and the base and emitter of the transistor 6 is short-circuited. Therefore, the transistor 6 is turned off, and the gate and cathode of the photothyristor 3 are released. Accordingly, the gate trigger sensitivity IFT of the photothyristor 3 becomes extremely high.
