Title: Anordnung zur Lagerung eines Pedals
Inventor: BRANDEL KLAUS
IPC: B60R21/09
Filed: 1997-08-01
Abstract: Es wird eine Anordnung zur Lagerung eines hängend angeordneten
Pedalhebels beschrieben. Diese Anordnung besteht
aus einem Lagerbock (1), der an der Spritzwand (2) eines
Fahrzeuges befestigt ist. Der Lagerbock (1) besteht aus
zwei Längsstreben (3, 4), an deren Innenseiten sich Lagerstummel
(13, 13') befinden, auf denen die hohl ausgebildete
Pedalachse (5) aufgesteckt ist. 
     Es soll erreicht werden, daß sich im Falle einer Frontalkollision,
bei der die Spritzwand (2) in den Fußraum hineingedrückt
wird, die Pedalachse aus der Lagerung löst.
Dazu wird vorgeschlagen, eine Spreizeinrichtung, die z.
B. als Keil (20) mit Gleitflächen (22, 23) ausgebildet
sein kann, vorzusehen. Weiterhin sind Abstützpunkte (24,
25) für den Keil an den fußraumseitigen Enden der Streben
(3, 4) ausgebildet, die im Falle einer Kollision an den
Gleitflächen entlanggleiten, wodurch die Längsstreben (3,
4) auseinandergedrückt werden. Dabei werden die Achsstummel
(13, 13') aus der Hohlachse der Pedalachse herausgezogen,
so daß diese nach unten ausweichen kann.

Abstract: A heat treatment furnace for fiber for heat-treating a fiber bundle (yarn)(18) formed of
many continuous filaments in hot gas while running the yarn. The heat treatment furnace
has a plurality of heat treatment chambers (11,12,13) provided in a furnace body (10). The temperature
in each individual heat treatment chamber is independently adjusted to a temperature
which is different from the temperatures in the other heat treatment chambers. Thereby,
the heat treatment furnace can be made small and is able to heat-treat fiber efficiently. 
     This heat treatment furnace is useful, particularly, as a heat treatment furnace (an
oxidizing heat treatment furnace, or a oxidizing furnace) for producing an oxidized fiber
needed to produce a carbon fiber. A polyacrylonitrile-based fiber bundle (yarn), that is a
precursor fiber bundle for producing an oxidized fiber, passes through a zigzag yarn path,
and passes through the heat treatment furnaces, in each of which temperature is
independently adjusted to a temperature that is different from the temperatures in the
other furnaces. An oxidized fiber bundle (yarn) is thereby produced. 
     The zigzag yarn path in the heat treatment chambers for the oxidizing heat treatment
is established by a combination of a plurality of yarn guide rollers (19) provided outside the
furnace body. Each yarn guide roller has, on its peripheral surface, a yarn guide groove
for guiding a yarn. The yarn guide grooves have a specific cross-sectional shape whereby
the cross-sectional shape of the yarn to be supplied into the heat treatment chambers for
the oxidizing heat treatment is adjusted into a flat generally rectangular shape. Heat
accumulation in the yarn being heat-treated is thereby reduced.

aluminum trichloride, at least a portion of which is formed
 in situ  during conduct of the direct process and isolation
of the high-boiling residue. Typically, the monosilane
product of the present process comprises almost exclusively
methyltrichlorosilane and tetrachlorosilane.

Abstract: A suspension (32) for a vehicle seat (30) having a scissors arm linkage (34)
with a load carrying flexible member (36) secured to a spring (38) and in operable
communication with a cam-shaped pulley (40) carried by the linkage (34) for
producing a suspension of compact structure, which enables seat height to be
adjusted independently of weight adjustment, and which produces a suspension
having desirable load-deflection characteristics. The suspension has a platform (42)
for carrying the seat (30) which overlies the linkage and a base (44) underlying the
linkage that supports the suspension and permits mounting to the floor. Weight
adjustment of the suspension (32) is accomplished by tensioning the spring (38)
without changing the distance between the platform (42) and base (44). Height
adjustment is accomplished by moving the spring (38) and flexible member (36) in
unison to controllably collapse or expand the linkage (34) thereby changing the
distance between the platform and base.

Abstract: A steel pipe (P) having a circular sectional form is
retained by a retainer (1). A rotatable first roller (2) is
pressed against an intermediate portion of the steel pipe (P).
In this state, a pusher (3) causes the steel pipe to move
axially of the steel pipe. This causes the steel pipe
to be plastically deformed while maintaining the first
roller (2) in rolling contact with the steel pipe whereby
a flat portion (P1) is formed at the intermediate portion of
the steel pipe. Subsequently, a second roller (7) for
forming rack teeth (P3) which is formed with teeth at its outer
periphery is pressed against the flat portion (P1) of the
steel pipe (P) while the steel pipe is relatively moved in
the axial direction thereof. This causes the flat
portion (P1) of the steel pipe (P) to be plastically deformed for
formation of rack teeth (P3) at the flat portion.

Abstract: A memory for use in color space transformation by tetrahedral interpolation
where, instead of using one large memory for the storage of the data table, four small
memories are used, the memories being loaded and accessed so that each of the four
data points needed for tetrahedral interpolation are always located in separate
memories. This allows the four data points to be generated in parallel, thus increasing
the speed of transformation without increasing the size of the memory. In the example
described herein, the origin of the current cube in the data table is labeled P 000 , and is
loaded into one memory. Values P 100 , P 010  and P 001  are loaded into a second table,
values P 011 , P 101  and P 110  are loaded into a third memory and value P 111  is loaded into a
fourth table. Thus, any four values needed will be located in separate memories.

Abstract: In order to provide a fuel injection pump capable of
discriminating a cylinder, the fuel injection pump (1) capable
of supplying fuel to engine (2) having a plurality of cylinders
is provided with reference signal generating system (7, 35)
capable of generating a plurality of reference signals
corresponding to a plurality of cylinders. Of a plurality of
reference signals, a specific reference signal differs from the
reference signals other than said specific reference signal.
The time point at which the specific reference signal is
generated is related to a predetermined cylinder out of a
plurality of cylinders, whereby the specific cylinder can be
identified by means of a single fuel injection pump by
discriminating the specific reference signal by discrimination
means (71). Therefore, where the difference in fuel injection
rate as to a plurality of cylinders is measured during the
manufacturing process of the fuel injection pump, it becomes
possible to correct the fuel injection rate to reduce the
difference in the fuel injection rate by individual cylinders.

Abstract: A first embodiment of an adjustment circuit (30) for a laser diode
output power compensator includes a feedback circuit for adjusting the laser
diode output power compensator so that the output power of the laser diode is
substantially constant. The feedback circuit includes a photodiode (35) for
measuring the output power of a VCSEL diode (20). The signal from the
photodiode (35) is coupled to a first amplifier (39). The difference between the
signal from the photodiode (35) and a first reference value is amplified and
coupled through electronic switches (40, 42, 44) to selectively charge one of
multiple capacitors (41, 43, 45). The multiple capacitors (41, 43, 45) are each
coupled to one of a drive current source (32), a compensation current source
(31), and a voltage controlled resistor (34), each of which are voltage controlled.
A second amplifier (38) is used for amplifying the difference between the signal
from the photodiode (35) and a second reference value to charge a capacitor
(47) coupled to a voltage controlled bias current source (33). The first
embodiment of the adjustment circuit (30) controls the bias current source (33),
drive current source (32), compensation current source (31), and the voltage
controlled resistor (34) so that the output power of the VCSEL diode is held
substantially constant. A second embodiment of the adjustment circuit (30)
uses an analog to digital converter (203), a digital comparator (204), a counter
(205), and registers (206, 207, 208, 209) to form the feedback circuit for
adjusting the laser diode output power compensator. A third embodiment of the
adjustment circuit (30) uses an analog comparator (404), counters (410, 411,
412, 413), and registers (414, 415, 416, 417) to form the feedback circuit for
adjusting the laser diode output power compensator.
