Abstract: A description is given of an apparatus for pneumatically conveying bulk material, having a conveying line for the bulk material and having a tracing line which runs parallel to the latter, both of which are connected to the same compressed-air source so that the same pressure prevails at the inlet in both pipes. Branch lines proceed from the tracing line and open into spring-loaded relief valves which are provided at specified points along the conveying line. If a blockage of the conveyed material forms in the conveying line, the relief valves open and blow the conveying line clear by this means. According to the invention, the spring forces of the relief valves are set at predetermined values so that the apparatus functions without failures. It is also possible to use suction air instead of compressed air. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a vehicle diagnosis system in which a diagnosis unit (200) is connected to a control unit (100), the control unit determines (800) whether or not there is a code read request from the diagnosis unit. When there is the request, it further determines (810) whether or not code erase is in execution. When code erase is not in execution, an abnormality code stored in the standby RAM region of its CPU is searched for (830) and the result is transmitted (820) to the diagnosis unit. When code erase is in execution, on the other hand, the data after code erase (no abnormality code) is transmitted to the diagnosis unit. Thus, during code erase operation, the abnormality data before erase is prevented from being transmitted to the diagnosis unit. 
Further, in case of a RAM-value read request is made from a main CPU (110) to other CPU (120, 130) in the controller, it is checked (1710) whether a requested address value from the main CPU to the other CPU agrees with the address value transmitted from the other CPU to the main CPU. When the address values agree, the flag XA4ANS is set (1730). After a prescribed interval from this flag setting, the RAM value corresponding to the requested address are responsively sent out (1760) to the diagnosis unit. Therefore, transmission of erroneous infortion to the diagnosis unit can be prevented without fail.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal head for ink-jet printers or thermal printers, which has an array of heat generating zones (20) on a substrate (10) having an insulating surface (10a). Each heat generating zone is defined between two opposite electrodes (12,12') which are formed by patterning a conductor film deposited on the insulating surface (10a) of the substrate. That is, in the heat generating zones (20) the conductor film is absent. A patterned resistor (14) film, which is an anodically oxidizable film such as tantalum film, covers the electrodes and the insulating surface in the heat generating zones, and a surface layer of the resistor film is anodically oxidized to provide a protective layer (16). In this thermal head the anodic oxidation of the resistor film can be performed under optimal conditions since the conductor film is entirely covered with the resistor film. Therefore the thermal head becomes very good in durability, and it is possible to greatly reduce the thickness of the unoxidized part of the resistor film to thereby enhance responsiveness and reduce power consumption.

Abstract: A coating of adsorptive material on a metallic heat-exchanger substrate is made using a powdery, solid adsorptive substance whose granular dia. is between 1 and 50 mu m. The adsorptive material is held together by a finely distributed de-hardened binding agent which has a mass proportion of less than 50% w. r. t. to the powder material. The thickness of the coating is less than 4 mm and the adsorption speed for the steam at a vapour pressure of less than 20 mbar within 30 minutes, results in a weight increase of at least 5% (with reference to the adsorption agent). The adsorption agent incorporates a synthetic zeolitic material. The binding agent is a high-temp. adhesive for joining ceramic materials to metals. In a process to apply the adsorption agent to the substance, an emulsion is prepd of the binding agent with water and the adsorption agent and applied as a series of coats to the substrate to a thickness each of less than 1 mm. It is then pre-dried and then final-dried and hardened at more than 150 degrees C.

IPC: B60J1/17
Filed: 1995-07-05
Abstract: The door comprises outer and inner panels and a pane of glass (6) between them opened and shut by a lifting mechanism. Bolts fixed to the bottom edge of the pane guide it in rails (7,8) and the inner panel is cut away to allow installation of the pane. A linear guide for the pane and/or the rails runs in the lengthwise direction of the latter, but is distinctly shorter than them. This allows the pane to move in relation to a supporting panel between the inner and outer ones from the lower installation position into the bottom working one. The amt. of this movement is equal to the length of the linear guide. The latter can be formed by a driving member sliding in each rail and with a hole elongated in the direction of pane movement. The bolt on the pane engages in the hole, so that the pane can slide in relation to the member. In the lower installation position, the bolt bears against the bottom end of the hole, while with the pane shut it bears against the top end.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to provide a unique indicator of authenticity of currency or a document (28), optically responsive to a local magnetic field (22) and which employs material difficult to duplicate. The indicator is in the form of magnetic viewing material added to the document (28) either by adherence of a patch or strip of the material, or by printing it directly onto the document's surface. The basic ingredient of the magnetic viewing material is a multitude of minute micro-capsules (12), each having tiny nickel (particles) flakes (14) suspended in a viscous fluid (16) encapsulated by a tough, transparent plastic shell (18). A layer (10) consisting of these micro-capsules (12) has the property that the planes of the nickel flakes (14) will align themselves in the direction of an applied magnetic field (22). If the field (22) is perpendicular to the layer (10), the flakes (14) will be seen edge on and will reflect a minimum amount of light. When the field (22) is parallel to the plane of the layer (10), the planes of the nickel flakes (14) will be parallel to the layer (10) and the nickel flakes (14) now appear as little mirrors reflecting incident light and the layer (10) will appear bright. Hence, the validity of the document (28) can be readily tested by moving a permanent magnet in the vicinity of the patch or strip and noting whether the light patterns reflected from the patch or strip change in response to the magnetic field. Only authentic documents, processed in accordance with the method taught by the invention, will be appropriately responsive.
