Granted: 1993-06-09
Abstract: A rearview mirror assembly (10) including an exteriorly convex shell (12) has a concave interior opening rearwardly when the shell is mounted on the side of a vehicle. A power operated assembly (14) is fixed secured to the shell (12) for mounting and moving a mirror assembly (16) for pivotal movement within the open rear of the shell about first and second intersecting pivotal axes normal to one another. The power operated assembly (14) includes a molded plastics member (20) of a size to fit within the concave interior of the shell (12) so as to extend inwardly of and generally across the open rear thereof. The plastics member (20) has spaced portions (22,24) fixedly secured with spaced portions (26,28) of the concave interior of the shell so that the molded plastics member serves as a strengthening strut for the open rear of the shell. The plastics member (20) has a dual axis pivot element (54) molded integrally on the central portion thereof which extends rearwardly therefrom and integral first and second surfaces (62) for engaging and supporting one fore and aft half of first and second power operated moving mechanisms (18) respectively of the power operated assembly. The other fore and aft half of the first and second power operated moving mechanisms (18) respectively is supported by a pair of separate substantially identical casing members (60).

IPC: B01J23/10
Filed: 1988-09-29
Granted: 1991-02-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a catalytic composite for treating an exhaust gas comprising a support which is a refractory inorganic oxide having dispersed thereon lanthanum, at least one other rare earth component and at least one noble metal component selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium. An essential feature of said catalytic composite is that the lanthanum be present as crystalline particles of lanthanum oxide which have an average crystallite size of less than about 25 Angstroms. The support may be selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, titania, zirconia, aluminosilicates and mixtures thereof with alumina being preferred. Illustrative of the other rare earth components are cerium, neodymium, praeseodymium, dysprosium, europium, holmium and ytterbium. This invention also relates to a method of manufacturing said catalytic composite. In particular, an important feature of said method of manufacturing is the dispersion of lanthanum oxide onto said refractory inorganic oxide support. In a specific example where the refractory inorganic oxide support is alumina, the lanthanum may be dispersed on the alumina as follows. A solution of a lanthanum salt is mixed with a hydrosol of aluminum, particles are formed from said lanthanum containing hydrosol, calcined to form an inorganic oxide particle containing lanthanum oxide, ground to give a powder of alumina containing finely dispersed lanthanum oxide. This powder in turn can be mixed with another rare earth oxide such as cerium oxide to form a slurry which in turn is used to coat a solid monolithic carrier. Finally, at least one noble metal component is dispersed on said coated solid monolithic carrier.

Title: Device for sealing gully inlets
IPC: E03F7/02
Filed: 1989-02-11
Granted: 1992-11-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for sealing gulley inlets (7) of all types for harmful liquids, consisting of a bubble (1) made of elastic material. The intention is to achieve rapid and leaktight closure of the gulley inlet (7) before large amounts of the harmful liquid flow into the conduit. This is achieved in that the bubble (1) is introduced partially into the inlet opening (7) of the gulley (8) and is then inflated until the inlet opening (7) is sealed. An approximately cylindrical bubble (1) of greater length than diameter and of high extensibility is used, so that only one bubble size is required for all sizes of gulley inlet. <IMAGE>

Title: Tubing elements and their use in storage and/or containment of liquids at a definite location
IPC: E04H9/14
Filed: 1989-05-12
Granted: 1992-09-23
Abstract: A barrier for confining or receiving liquids independently of position comprises hose elements (10, 20) which can be connected together via coupling elements (11, 21). In particular, the coupling elements may be of tubular design and connect the internal spaces of the hose elements together. It is particularly advantageous if the coupling parts each have two annular or circular flanges (11, 12) whose external diameter is less than the diameter of the liquid-filled hose element, and for this purpose commercial fire brigade couplings such as are used for connecting fire-fighting hoses may be employed. By setting back the coupling elements with respect to the face walls of the bead on the end face of the hoses, the adjacently situated beads of adjacent hose elements form an essentially annular sealing surface so that a barrier made up of a plurality of such hoses is able to withstand a high liquid pressure even at the seams formed by the hoses with one another and only minimal liquid losses occur. <IMAGE>

Title: System and method with passive resonant circuit markers for locating buried electrical conductors
IPC: G01V3/06
Filed: 1989-05-10
Granted: 1993-04-21
Abstract: A method and system for determining the location of a first insulated conductor (10) and a plurality of similar branch conductors (28,38) that are branches of the first conductor, but without ohmic contact being made with the first conductors. A passive marker (16) having a resonant circuit that includes an inductor and capacitor is provided for each of the branch conductors and is positioned to be inductively coupled to the first conductor and the associated branch conductor. The first conductor (10) is a part of a closed loop circuit and each branch conductor is a part of separate closed loop circuits. An alternating signal (14) applied to any one of the closed loop circuits is inductively transmitted to each of the other closed loops that is inductively coupled to a passive marker having a resonant frequency equal to the frequency of the alternating signal. Flow of alternating signals in the closed loops and passive markers cause a detectable electromagnetic signal to be produced to identify the location of the first conductor, branch conductors and passive markers when conducting the alternating signals.

Abstract: Dans une imprimante sans impact, par exemple une imprimante en couleurs, du type ayant une bande mobile sans fin (1) sur laquelle deux ou plusieurs images sont formées par une tête d'impression électronique (8) et transférées par alignement, on obtient un alignement fiable au moyen de perforations le long d'un bord de la bande. Un premier capteur, par exemple un tambour denté (31) de la tête d'impression, détecte un bord des perforations et commande la tête d'impression. Un deuxième capteur, par exemple un tambour denté de transfert (32), détecte également un bord des perforations et commande le transfert. On corrige essentiellement des erreurs dans la formation d'images dues à des erreurs dans la formation des perforations en utilisant les mêmes perforations pour le transfert et pour l'impression.
