Title: Sport boot liner and method for making same.
Inventor: LANG HERBERT
IPC: A43B7/28
Filed: 1993-11-04
Abstract: A liner (20, 120) for a sport boot shell (25) and a method for making a custom fitted liner (20, 120) for a sport boot, are disclosed. Liner (20) is designed to be worn inside a boot shell (25). In a preferred embodiment liner (20) includes inner and outer flaps (34, 36) which wrap in opposite directions across a wearer's shin and form a compound curve in a region (80) in front of the wearer's ankle. The liner (20), including flaps (34, 36), may be made from a single piece of thermoplastic foam material (42) of uniform thickness. The design of the liner prevents the cuff (38) of the liner (20) from loosening around the wearer's shin and calf when the wearer's leg is flexed forward at the ankle. The shell (25) can therefore be worn more loosely than is necessary with a boot liner of conventional design. Liner (20) may be made by making an unfitted liner (60) from a sheet of thermoformable material (42). Unfitted liner (60) has a forwardly facing opening (63) and wings (64, 66) extending forwardly on either side of opening (63). Unfitted liner (60) is then heated to above the thermoforming temperature of material (42) and simultaneously fitted to sheell (25) and the wearer's foot and leg by the steps of: placing the wearer's foot into unfitted liner (60); forming flaps (34, 36) by wrapping wings (64, 66) across the wearer's shin; holding unfitted liner (60) in place with an elastic stocking (72); inserting the wearer's foot, unfitted liner (60) and elastic stocking (72) into shell (25) and allowing unfitted liner (60) to cool.

Abstract: The operation of a catalyst (3) can be monitored using a two part test. An engine management system is arranged to perturb the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine (1) such that an oxygen concentration of the gas entering the catalyst (3) varies between oxygen rich and oxygen deficient. A first test involves counting the number of transitions of the gas leaving the catalyst between two predetermined oxygen concentrations in response to a predetermined number of transitions of the gas entering the catalyst. A second test is performed if the first test indicates the catalyst to be faulty. The second test involves forming an integral of the oxygen concentration of the gas leaving the catalyst and correcting the integral for gas flow through the catalyst (3).

Abstract: An improved torque sensor, or relative angular movement sensor, comprises an input member (5), an output member (2), LED light sources (20), a pair of photodetector units (28a,28b) adapted to receive light from the LED light sources, and signal processing means, in which said signal processing means is adapted to receive output signals from the photodetector units, the output signals of the photodetector units being dependent upon the light signals which they receive, and the signal processing means being adapted to process the output signals from the photodetector units so as to produce a modified output signal indicative of the relative angular displacement between, or torque applied between, the input and output member, wherein the improvement lies in the arrangement of photodetectors which comprise the photodetector units (28a) and (28b). The photodetectors are arranged in such a way that any phase shift which may exist between the signals from the two photodetector units is cancelled out when the modified torque output signal is produced, in order to remove any 'ripple' in this signal.
