Patent EP-0599095-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VOLZ WOLFGANG
IPC: F01M13/04
Filed: 1993-11-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for ventilating the crankcase (2) of an internal combustion engine (1) with cylinders arranged in a V shape, in which device a resonance chamber (18) is provided between the banks (3, 4) of cylinders. The channels (9, 10, 11, 12, 13) for feeding back the oil from the cylinder heads (5, 6) are separated from the crankcase gas by virtue of their mouths lying below the level (17) of oil in the oil sump (7). Thus, the blow-by cannot be washed out by the oil in the countercurrent inside the channels (9 to 13). By means of openings (21) the spaces of the cylinder heads (5, 6) are connected to the crankcase (2). The resonance chamber (18) is connected to the individual chambers of the crankcase (2) via openings (19). An oil separator (23) is located above the resonance chamber (18), the volume of the said oil separator (23) being connected via openings (22 and 31) to the resonance chamber (18) and to the crankcase (2). In this way, the spaces of the cylinder heads (5, 6) and the volume of the oil separator (23) act as Helmholtz resonators and smooth, together with the volume of the resonance chamber (18), the gas pulsations, prevailing in the crankcase (2), in the ventilation line (26) to the mixture preparing system (8). In addition to the damping of the gas oscillations, the particularly non-stressing treatment of the oil is a particular advantage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention proposes a method of generating the vacuum in a vacuum diecasting machine, in which the vacuum to be applied to the diecasting die can be subjected to control during the casting process. According to the invention, the pressure characteristic of the vacuum applied via the vacuum valve (11) is controlled in such a way by means of the on-off valve (13) that the pressure in the die cavity (5), in the casting chamber (6) and in the suction pipe (9) varies in accordance with a particular adjustable function per unit time. For this purpose, a computer (16) which acquires a large number of different parameters is provided. Thus, for example, the vacuum in the region of the vacuum valve (11) is acquired by means of an additional measurement line (17) and measured by means of a vacuum measuring probe. This vacuum measuring probe (18) is connected to the vacuum connection line (12) via an additional bypass valve (19). It is thus possible to acquire the pressure (p) in the vacuum connection line (12) and feed it via the line (20) to the computer (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Recording of information on and/or reproduction of information from a magnetooptical recording medium is effected as follows. Light beam from an objective lens is irradiated on a track of the recording medium. The objective lens is driven in a direction perpendicular to the track such that the beam spot and the track have a predetermined positional relationship therebetween. A magnetic field modulated according to information to be recorded is applied to the beam spot irradiated position of the recording medium by magnetic field applying device. A relative position between the objective lens and the magnetic field applying device in the direction perpendicular to the track is detected. The recording of information is effected on the recording medium by applying the magnetic field according to the information while changing the beam spot irradiated position on the recording medium with respect to the track. The movable range of the objective lens, in which a level of a reproduction signal obtained in the reproduction of information exceeds a predetermined level, in the direction perpendicular to the track, in the recording operation, is detected on the basis of a detection result of the relative position, so that a driver for the objective lens is controlled on the basis of the detected movable range.

Abstract: A method and means using a fast write in order to eliminate DASD time from the write response time as seen by the host (1); eliminate some DASD writes due to overwrites caused by later host writes to previously updated blocks in cache (205); and reduce DASD seeks because destages will be postponed until many destages can be done to a track or cylinder. This is effected by destaging from the cache (205) only the least recently referenced original or updated block and all other original or updated blocks occupying the same logical track and ordered in a predefined lower LRU range, the destage being initiated responsive to a cache miss. The destaging step is selectable from a set of destaging steps varying in their robustness.

Abstract: A switching control circuit for a semiconductor breaker (T7) governed by control signals for establishing and eliminating an excitation current (It) in an alternator of an electric circuit, is characterised by current control means (T4-T6) for applying to a control terminal of the said breaker element and/or for tapping off from the said terminal a given small current when a voltage (Vx) across the terminals of the excitation winding (Ex) is low, so as to obtain slow changes in the current in the said breaker element, and for applying to the said control terminal or for tapping off from the said terminal a larger current when the said voltage (Vx) is higher. The creation of high-frequency parasitic effects in the on-board network is thus diminished by avoiding overly sudden variations in consumed current, without however excessively raising the power dissipated. <IMAGE>
