Patent EP-1471165-A3 (EP)
Inventor: RUPPI SAKARI
IPC: C23C16/08
Filed: 2004-04-21
Abstract: Wear resistance of the prior-art Ti(C,N) layers can be considerably enhanced by optimising the grain size and microstructure. This invention describes a method to obtain controlled, fine, equiaxed grain morphology in Ti(C,N) layers produced using moderate temperature CVD (MTCVD). The control of the grain size and shape can be obtained by doping using CO, CO 2 , ZrCl 4  and AlCl 3  or combinations of these. Doping has to be controlled carefully in order to avoid nanograined structures and oxidisation. This kind of coatings shows new enhanced wear properties. The fine grain size together with equiaxed grain morphology enhances the toughness of the coating with at least maintained wear resistance, which can be seen especially in sticky steels like stainless steels. The optimum grain size is from 50 to 300 nm, preferably from 50 to 150. The coatings according to this invention are characterised by the lack of any strong preferred growth orientation, the length-to-width ratio (L/W) around 1 and only with a slight to moderate XRD line broadening.

Abstract: A collision impact detector (1) detects
deceleration of a vehicle caused by its collision with
another vehicle or an obstacle. A rotor (4) is rotatably
supported on a shaft (3) and biased by a coil spring (5) in
a direction opposite to a rotational direction in which the
rotor is rotated by the deceleration. One axial end of the
coil spring (5) is supported by a first support (6)
integrally formed with the rotor (4), and the other axial
end of the coil spring is supported by a second support (7)
formed separately from the rotor. In this manner, a
friction torque generated between the coil spring (5) and
the second support (7) is eliminated, thereby considerably
reducing a total friction torque associated with rotation
of the rotor. The second support (7) may be formed either
integrally with or separately from a housing (2) supporting
the shaft (3).

Title: Rate matching device and method for a data communication system
Inventor: KIM MIN-GOO
IPC: H04L12/20
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: A device and method for matching a rate of channel-encoded symbols in a data communication system. The rate matching device and method can be applied to a data communication system which uses one or both of a non-systematic code (such as a convolution code or a linear function code) and a systematic code (such as a turbo code). The rate matching device includes a plurality of rate matching functions, the number of the rate matching functions being equal to a reciprocal of a coding rate of a channel encoder. The rate matching device can rate match the symbols encoded with a non-systematic code or the symbols encoded with a systematic code, by changing initial parameters including the number of input symbols, the number of output symbols, and the puncturing/repetition pattern determining parameter.

Abstract: In a fluid system for a gas turbine engine, oil is supplied from an oil tank (10) by a constant displacement pump (12) to lubricate engine components (18). The oil is supplied to the components (18) via a heat exchanger (16) in which oil and fuel are placed in direct heat exchange relationship. 
     The flow of oil to the components (18) is controlled by recirculating a proportion of the oil flow through a bypass (20). The bypass (20) regulates the flow of oil to the components (18) so that the amount of heat transferred to the fuel in the heat exchanger (16) is controlled. At low engine powers a greater proportion of the oil flows through the bypass (20) to reduce the oil flow to the components (18). This reduces the heat transferred to the fuel in the heat exchanger (16) and so prevents overheating of the fuel.
