Patent EP-1028249-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SITAR MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system (11) for an internal combustion engine,
including a valve (25) having a closed position (FIG. 2) blocking flow of exhaust gas, the
valve being biased by gas pressure in the exhaust gas passage (E) toward a closed position
(FIG. 2). The system includes an electric motor (51) having an input gear (55) and a gear
train (57,59) driving a sector gear (73). A linkage member (93) has its ends (91,95)
connected to the sector gear (73) and the valve stem (29), respectively. The sector gear
and the linkage member are configured such that, as the valve begins to open against
exhaust gas pressure, the movement of the valve stem is a relatively higher force, and at a
relatively lower speed. As the valve moves toward a fully open position (FIG. 7), the
movement of the valve stem is at a relatively lower force, but at a relatively higher speed.

Abstract: A draincock assembly for a container includes a receiving
member for fluid communication with the container and
having a projection therein. The draincock assembly also
includes a rotatable draincock being partially disposed in
the receiving member having a fluid passageway and a guide
slot cooperating with the projection to allow the
draincock to be rotated and moved axially. The guide slot
has a closed position relative to the projection to
prevent the draincock from moving axially and draining
fluid through the fluid passageway. The guide slot also
has an open position rotated relative to the projection to
allow the draincock to move axially and drain fluid
through the fluid passageway.

Abstract: A belt tensioner mounted on mounting structure in normal and reverse modes which comprises a hub structure. An arm structure is pivotally mounted on the hub structure for pivotal movements with respect thereto about a pivot axis central to the hub structure between first and second limiting positions. A belt-engaging pulley is rotatably mounted on the arm structure for rotational movement about a rotational axis parallel with the pivotal axis. A spring system is provided for resiliently biasing the arm structure away from the first limiting position and toward the second limiting position. The hub structure includes a central opening extending axially therethrough configured to allow a mounting bolt to extend therethrough and into secured relation to the mounting structure.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a gas irrigation control system operated through gas
pressure which utilizes porous capsules installed in the soil in appropriate positions,
according to the stage of development and to the type of crops. When the soil's matric power
is sufficiently negative, the capsules' pores are free from obstruction and the gas from a flow
controller leaves through those orifices; this causes the pressure to drop and starts the
irrigation system mechanically, electrically or electromechanically. The same systems close
the water flow when the soil moisture rises above the critical level, thus causing the
obstruction of the capsule's pores and consequently an increase in the gas pressure.
