Patent DE-19932826-A1 (DE)
Inventor: FUESER ROLF
IPC: F02D9/02
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: The invention relates to an intake tube, especially serving as an air induction tube in the intake tract of an internal combustion engine, which has an aperture that can be shifted in front of individual tube segments (10) that form the total cross-section of the intake tube. The tube segments (10) are separated from one another by partitions (27). The total cross-section of the intake tube can be incrementally reduced in this manner by turning an opening (16). The adjusting element has simple dimensions which permit it to be easily manufactured. A sealing is effected by a gap located between the partitions (27) and the aperture (15) of the adjusting element (14). This results in extremely small adjusting forces for actuating the adjusting element. The adjusting element can be easily driven, for example, by an electric motor.

Title: Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Einstellung der Bremswirkung bei einem Kraftfahrzeug
Inventor: POGGENBURG RUEDIGER
IPC: B60T8/1764
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren bzw. eine Vorrichtung zur Einstellung der Bremswirkung an den Rädern eines Kraftfahrzeugs. Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, daß bei einer erkannten mu-Split-Situation die Erniedrigung der Bremswirkung an dem Low-Rad der Hinterachse abhängig von der Erniedrigung der Bremswirkung an dem seitengleichen Rad an der Vorderachse getätigt wird. Eine Variante der Erfindung zielt darauf ab, daß an dem Low-Rad der Hinterachse im wesentlichen keine Bremswirkung eingestellt wird. Durch beide Erfindungsvarianten wird das Low-Hinterrad auf der Niedrigreibwertseite, das nicht wesentlich zur Gesamtbremswirkung beiträgt, nahezu bremsdrucklos gemacht und kann somit als Führungsgröße bzw. Fahrzeugreferenzgeschwindigkeit dienen. Hierdurch kommt es insbesondere bei leichten Nutzkraftfahrzeugen bei Bremsungen auf mu-Split zu kürzeren Bremswegen unter Beibehaltung eines stabilen Fahrverhaltens während der gesamten Bremsung.

Patent EP-1084742-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WILDNER GERHARD
IPC: B01D35/143
Filed: 2000-05-06
Abstract: Filter press plates have inlet bores (2) in their edges for admission of a pressurizing medium to move membranes, located in chambers between consecutive plates, towards adjacent plates, to expel liquor from the intermediate cake. Once a membrane has been actuated, the flow of pressurizing medium stops unless there is a hole or a sealing problem, and this is monitored by fitting a fluid-flow rotatable element (4) between the plate inlet bore and the pressurized medium supply line. Filter press plates having pressure movable membranes installed in the chambers formed between consecutive plates (1) in order to squeeze maximum residual liquor from the separated filter cake, are provided with inlet bores (2) in the edges of the plates for admission of a pressurizing medium to move the membranes towards an adjacent plate, and thus expel liquor from the intermediate cake. Once a membrane has been actuated, the flow of pressurizing medium stops unless there is a hole or a sealing problem, and this is monitored by fitting a fluid-flow rotatable element (4) between the plate inlet bore and the pressurized medium supply line. The flow rotatable element (4) is a hollow disk which is rotatably mounted on the pressurizing medium inlet spigot, and enclosed in a chamber (9). A circular end wall of the disk has fluid inlet/outlet bores inclined at 45 degrees to the wall so that flow of pressurizing medium in either direction through these bores will induce rotation in the disk. The chamber (9) preferably has a transparent cover (11), so that spiral markings on the disk (4) can be seen by the operator; if the membranes are sequentially actuated the spiral rotational direction will allow a leaking plate to be pinpointed. Alternatively optical, or other type, motion sensors may be installed to automatically detect rotations of the alerting device.

roller members in place and also to reduce the magnitude
of loads applied to the roller members when the clutch
mechanism is engaged. The roller members are positioned
in windows (30) in the cage members and integral spring-like
leaf segments (36,76,96,186) are positioned in each of the windows on
either side of the roller members. One or two spring-like
members, together with one or more recesses between
each of the windows and roller members provide
resiliency for the cage mechanism. The compliant cage
device reduces the magnitude of the loads applied to the
clutch mechanism and prevent fatigue fracture and
premature failure of the cage device. In an alternate
embodiment, a one-piece injection molded compliant cage
mechanism is utilized with separate metal spring members (186)

Abstract: In a printing apparatus having a plurality of
full-line print heads (7; 7K, 7C, 7M, 7Y) each having a
print element array corresponding to the width of a
print medium, upon receiving print data that uses a
plurality of print media (P1, P2), a print duty as the
ratio of the number of nozzles used in a print process
to the total number of nozzles is computed as a
numerical value that pertains to electric power to be
supplied to the print heads upon printing that print
data. When the computed value is larger than a
predetermined value that represents electric power
which can be supplied from a power supply of the
printing apparatus, the distance (d1, d2) between the
plurality of print media is increased so that the
numerical value that pertains to the electric power
becomes equal to or smaller than the predetermined
value. With this control, deterioration of image
quality and extreme drop of the printing speed can be
prevented without unwantedly increasing the power
supply capacity.
