Patent EP-0903485-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIROYUKI MIZUNO
IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an engine to switch
combustion modes in accordance with the load applied to the
engine. An injector (11) injects fuel into a combustion
chamber (5) to perform a plurality of combustion modes. A
valve, such as a swirl control valve (17), is arranged in an
intake passageway (15a, 15b, 16, 20) to adjust the intensity
of the swirling motion produced in the combustion chamber
(5). An ECU (30) determines the combustion mode that is to
be performed in accordance with the load applied to the
engine. The ECU (30) controls the valve (17) to optimize
the intensity of the swirling motion in accordance with the
determined combustion mode. The ECU (30) also controls the
injector (11) to perform the determined combustion mode.
When the combustion mode that is to be performed switches
between stratified charge or semi-stratified charge and
homogeneous charge, the ECU (30) controls the injector (11)
to perform semi-stratified charge combustion for a certain
time period before performing a newly determined combustion
mode. The ECU (30) varies the time period in accordance
with the difference between the actual position and a target
position of the valve (17). This stabilizes combustion when
switching combustion modes and produces a smooth transition
between combustion modes.

Abstract: A time delay device for an optical signal
wherein an optical frequency comb is generated by a comb
generation device. The optical frequency comb consists of
a plurality of discrete and temporally spaced optical
channels or carriers. The separation of the channels is
dictated by the shifting frequency applied to the comb
generation device and the temporal spacing is defined by
the length of fiber used so that a time delay is created
for each traverse of the fiber loop by the optical
frequency comb. A filter connected to the comb generation
device is used for tuning to a particular frequency or
channel in the optical comb to obtain an optical signal
having a desired time delay.

Abstract: A pneumatically powered surgical handpiece suitable for a pencil-type handpiece configuration in which the pressurized fluid inlet is axially directed relative to the handpiece body. Fluid is directed through a dispersing section from an axial direction to a radially outward direction against the interior of a hollow cylindrical turbine body provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged and longitudinally extending semicircular channels adapted to receive the fluid flow and redirect it proximally through an annular exhaust channel situated annularly about the fluid inflow conduit. An output shaft is integrally formed with the turbine body and extending distally therefrom and a surgical instrument may be attached to or integrally formed within this output shaft. The invention also resides in a method for fluidically driving a surgical handpiece and lends itself to a method of producing a disposable fluidically driven surgical instrument.

Abstract: An optical fibre connector comprising a hollow
cylindrical body 2 having a throughbore 3 with an inner
surface 4. A hollow sleeve or carrier 6 in the form of
a cylindrical tube having a throughbore 8 fits snugly
within the hollow body throughbore 3. The sleeve 6 can
receive and releasably retain a pair of optical fibre
assemblies 11 which are to be optically coupled to one
another by means of the connector. The sleeve 6
accommodates a plurality of discrete individual
engagement means in the form of balls 10 in holes around
its circumference. The balls 10 protrude through the
holes in the sleeve into the throughbore 3, and are free
to rotate as an optical fibre assembly moves past them.
The optical fibre assemblies 11 are biassed against the
balls 10 and thereby against the inner surface of the
connector body by resilient biassing means in the form
of spring arrangements 14. Each spring arrangement 14
comprises an elongate resilient strip 15 pivoted about
its midpoint on a pivot 20. In this arrangement, as an
optical fibre assembly 10 is inserted into the carrier
6, the pivoting action of the spring prevents the
biassing force being applied by the spring on the
assembly until a first 21 and second 22 end of the
assembly are in contact with a distal 23 and proximal 24
end respectively of the spring arrangement.

Abstract: The gas engine 1 with a gas fuel reforming device
thermally decomposes CH 4 , a major component of natural
gas, into a reformed fuel of CO and H 2  to increase the
heat produced and thereby reduce the CO 2  content in
the exhaust gas and prevent the formation of NO x . The
gas engine 1 mixes CH 4  with CO 2  and sends the gas mixture
to the catalyst reactor 2,52 installed in the exhaust
passage where the gas mixture is thermally decomposed
into a reformed fuel by using the thermal energy of
the exhaust gas. CO 2  is extracted from the exhaust gas
by the CO 2  supply device which in turn sends the CO 2  to
the catalyst reactor. The CO 2  supply device comprises
a CO 2  dissolving device 7 that accommodates a solution
to dissolve CO 2  of low-temperature exhaust gas and a
CO 2  delivery device installed in the exhaust passage 8
through which high-temperature exhaust gas flows and
adapted to release CO 2  from the solution supplied from
the CO 2  dissolving device 7. The CO 2  supply device can
be formed of a CO 2  separation membrane 40,87 that separates
CO 2  from the exhaust gas.

annular seal (50) is interposed between confronting surface
portions of one of the inner and outer sleeves and a
coupling member (36) which makes up onto the terminal (T) in

Abstract: Dans un oscillateur RC de cette invention, comportant une fréque nce d'osillation contrôlable, une source de signal (6) fournie un signal échelonné à un condensateur (2) et un résisteur (4) disposés en série, la fréquence d'oscillation utilisée étant dépendante de la période qui expire au moment où le condensateur (2) est chargé à une valeur donnée. La source de signal (6) comprend un moyen de commande (14) qui commande l'amplitude du signal échelonné. Pour faire varier la dite-fréquence, on fait varier l'amplitude de la tension échelonnée, appliquée au condensateur et au restisteur disposés en série, plutôt que la résistance du résisteur (4) par l'intermédiaire duquel est chargé le condensateur (2). On peut faire varier cette amplitude de différentes manières, de préférence au moyen d'un potentiomètre (14) qui agit comme diviseur de tension pour la tension échelonnée. La tolérance de ce potentiomètre n'est pas pertinente, parce que, à ce moment-là, c'est le rapport entre deux résisteurs d'égale imprécision qui compte. La tension échelonnée et, partant, la fréquence d'oscillation est al  ors directement proporitionelle au réglage du potentiomètre quelque soit la tolérance de ce dernier.
