Abstract: An ignition control system for controlling ignition knock while maintaining minimum spark for best torque (MBT). Both knock control and MBT control are simultaneously utilised. During knock control, engine cycles are counted between sucessive knock detections. When the count is less than a first value, a retard signal is generated. An advance signal is generated when the count is greater than a second predetermined value. These retard and advance signals are accumulated as known trim signals in RAM storage locations (66a, 10) as a function of engine speed and load operating points for each cylinder. During MBT control, MBT trim signals are generated by determining convergence of an average difference in indicated mean effective pressure for each cylinder. These MBT trim signals are stored in another RAM (66b,10) as a function of speed and load operating points. Base ignition timing is then corrected by both the knock trim signal and corresponding MBT trim signal at each speed and load operating point.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a high impedance signal source (22) driving a relatively low input impedance mechanical resonating device (42) such as a ceramic filter having an input impedance which varies with frequency. The high impedance source (22) is further loaded by a resonant circuit (34,36) tuned to the center frequency of the mechanical resonating device (22). The skirts of the resonant tuned circuit decrease in impedance on both sides of the center frequency of interest substantially compensating for the change of circuit gain with frequency due to the change of input impedance with frequency of the ceramic filter.

Abstract: A silver base electrical contact material with superior resistance to arc erosion along with improved wear and welding resistance. The contact material consists essentially of 0.5 to 39.9 wt% of nickel, 0.14 to 7.0 wt% of nickel oxides, and balance silver. The material contains not less than 0.4 wt% of nickel responsible for constituting minute nickel and nickel particles which have a particle size of not more than 1 µm and are dispersed in a silver matrix for strengthening the material to give improved wear and welding resistance. The dispersed minute nickel oxide particles are included to stabilize arcing occurring at the time of opening and closing contacts in such a manner as to anchor one end of an arc substantially at any immediately available point over the entire contact surface as soon as the arcing occurs, thereby preventing the arc end from moving violently across or beyond the contact surface and therefore minimizing arc related damages or arc erosion. The contact material is made in accordance with a novel method which can disperse the minute nickel and nickel oxide particles in adequate quantities and eliminate the inclusion of undesired bulk and coarse nickel particles which would otherwise deteriorate the contact properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of holding profiles for fixing a glass pane, in particular of an outer-wall or roof glazing, to a facade construction. The edge of a glass pane is to be surrounded by a holding profile in such a way that it lies firmly against the latter but with no danger of a breakage occurring in the edge of the glass pane. For this purpose, each holding profile is designed, or arranged, or supported, outside the edge of the glass pane in such a way that, in the event that the glass pane should bend, the profile carries out a predetermined rotary movement about an axis of rotation which is parallel to the edge of the glass pane and lies to the outside of said edge. Moreover, each holding profile in combination with the facade sub-construction supporting it or the play between holding profile and sub-construction is made flexibly elastic, so that it can give way to a bending of the edge of the glass pane within predetermined limits.

Abstract: A toolholder device (7) for a machine tool comprises a holder body (2) driven by a machine tool drive spindle (1), and a toolholder (6) supported on the holder body (2) so as to be circumferentially and axially displaceable. The holder body (2) and the toolholder (6) are provided with displacement detection elements (24 and 21) which are arranged circumferentially in interdigitating relation. A support shaft (3) extends from either member of the holder body (2) and the toolholder (6) toward the other member. The outer surface of the support shaft (3) and the inner surface of a support hole (11a) of the other member to be fitted over the support shaft (3) are formed with helical guide grooves (12) which are opposite to each other and slopingly extends with respect to the rotational axis of the toolholder device (7). Balls (13) are interposed between the opposite guide grooves (12) to form a displacement translation mechanism (14) which converts a rearward axial displacement of a tool (4) and the toolholder (6) due to overload axial thrust into a circumferential relative displacement between the adjacent detection elements (24 and 21). The relative displacement of the detection elements is detected by a detection unit (40) which issues a warning signal. A compression spring (20) in the device resists the axial displacement of the toolholder (6) unless the axial thrust exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for creating easily and quickly a program that allows new slips to be read by an automatic reading apparatus. A new slip is first input to the automatic reading apparatus. The reading apparatus reads from the slip its reference symbol and its information patterns indicating areas in which to write alphanumeric characters. The reference symbol is interpreted and assigned a numeric code that places the slip in an appropriate category. From each slip, the coordinates of a plurality of information patterns therein are detected. The areas designated by the coordinates are separated into numeric data and image data entry areas. These areas are defined using accounting terms. It is then defined that a numeral is recognized from the image of each numeric data area, and that an image is extracted and transferred from each image data area. Each interpreted numeric code, each assigned category, the coordinates of each numeric and image data entry area, and other necessary definitions are recorded into memory.

Abstract: In the case of a device for mechanically positioning and pushing elastic sealing plugs onto electrical cables, a transfer element is required which temporarily holds the sealing plugs which are passed to the end of a linear conveyor and are sorted in a row, and is then moved into alignment by means of a plunger which pushes said plugs out of the holders onto the cable end. In order to provide a cost-effective, space-saving device, it is proposed to support the plunger in the region between the linear conveyor and the cable end such that it can rotate and to allow it to form the transfer element itself, at the same time, for the sealing plugs. In the first rotation position, the plunger is not only aligned with the sealing plugs which are fed correctly in the linear conveyor but also carries out an axial picking movement for skewering and removing the sealing plug. The plunger then pivots with the picked-up sealing plug into a second rotation position in which the picked-up sealing plug is aligned with the held cable end, and from where the plunger then pushes the sealing plug onto the cable end. <IMAGE>
