Abstract: Piezoelectric actuators of the type comprising a stack of layers of ferroelectric material and intervening electrodes which extend only part-way across the adjacent ferroelectric layers suffer differential remanent stress when electric fields are applied across the layers. To overcome this, a longitudinal tensile stress is applied to the actuator which is sufficient to mechanically align the dipoles, thus giving rise to a remanent strain which is uniform throughout the actuator.  The actuator is preferably heated while the tensile stress is applied, so as to increase the difference between the tensile strength of the material and the applied tensile stress.  An alternative arrangement involves subjecting the actuator to a multidirectional stress and reducing the stress along the longitudinal direction.  The entire process is performed on completed actuators. Under suitable temperature and load conditions no tensile margin fractures form and electrode tip discontinuity is reduced.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS]  A power back door for a vehicle, in which an opening, through which a connection section between a drive arm and rod of the power back door enters and exits, is covered by a cover member to improve external appearance and in which interference between the connection section and the cover member when the connection section passes through the opening is eliminated to prevent abnormal noise and damage to the cover member during the passage of the connection section. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS]  The power back door is a back door (2) for automatically opening and closing a door opening (1).  The connection section (S), at which the drive arm (3) and rod (4) of the power back door are connected, can enter and exit from door opening (1).  A vertically long opening (50) is formed in a side edge of the door opening (1).  A pair of cover members (6a, 6b) having lip-shaped forward edges engaging with each other are arranged along left and right vertical edges of the opening (50).  The cover members (6a, 6b) are gradually expanded in width so that they have a greater width on the lower side, and this causes the cover members to engage each other on the inner end side of the opening (50).  An entrance/exit opening (64) surrounded by the lower edges of the expanded sections of the cover members (6a, 6b) is formed, and the connection section (S) enters and exits from the opening (64).

Abstract: In a working device for processing underwater soil surfaces (22), comprising polygonal hollow tubes (10, 12) aligned in parallel without joints and with the horizontal upper ends forming a flat working platform, the outer wall of each tube has a horizontal extension (14) with a vertical flange (16) at the outer end and at least one corresponding flange insertion opening with a connected upper vertical longitudinal slot. A working device for processing soil surfaces (22) under water (24) comprises several parallel, polygonal hollow tubes (10, 12) aligned in parallel without joints and with the horizontal upper ends forming a flat working platform. The novel feature is that the outer wall of each tube has a horizontal extension (14) with a vertical flange (16) at the outer end and at least one corresponding flange insertion opening with a connected upper longitudinal slot extending vertically up to the open end of the tube. The flange opening is located further away from the upper end of the tube than the flanged extension and has a greater horizontal dimension than the slot. Adjacent tubes are connected together by engaging the extension of one tube with the slot of the other, so that the tubes are not horizontally movable relative to each other and individual tube(s) can only be withdrawn vertically upwards at the outer edge of the working platform. Independent claims are included for: (1) a method for assembling the working device on an underwater soil surface (22), involving (a) sinking a first hollow tube (10) onto the soil surface, (b) sinking a second hollow tube (12) until a flange opening of the second tube reaches the height of the first tube, (c) plugging the flange insertion opening of the second tube onto the flange (16) of the first tube, (d) sinking the second tube onto the soil surface and (e) repeating stages (b) - (d) with further tubes until the working platform is assembled; (2) a method for progressing with the working device, involving individually vertically withdrawing the rearmost series of hollow tubes (relative to the progression direction), resinking and engaging the withdrawn tubes at the front (progression) end of the platform and repeating this procedure until the desired degree of forward progress has been made; (3) a method for sealing underwater soil surface (22) using the operating device, involving (a) assembling the operating device, (b) scattering pourable self-sealing material into the outermost sealing layer to generate a sealing layer, (c) scattering protective material into the tube to generate protective layer(s) over the sealing layer, (d) progressing with the device as above and (e) repeating stages (b) - (d) as required; and (4) corresponding methods, all using the working device, for (a) introducing minerals, mineral mixtures or binder-bonded minerals onto underwater surfaces, (b) removing sludge from underwater surfaces, (c) sandbagging waterways and bodies of water (especially in tidal regions) and (d) constructing dams in waterways and bodies of water.

Abstract: A twin spark pencil coil ignition apparatus (300) having two high-voltage (HV) outputs(316,324) incorporates features for balancing load capacitance on each HV output. The ignition apparatus (300) provides a first high-voltage (HV) connection (316) configured for direct mounting on a first spark plug (SP3), and a second HV connection (324) for coupling to a second spark plug (SP2) by way of an HV cable (328). The HV cable (328) adds capacitance at the second HV output (324), as compared to a direct mount. The secondary winding (332) is shifted by a predetermined distance (352), relative to the primary winding (330), in direction toward the direct mount end (316) of the ignition apparatus (300). The shifting reduces the internal load capacitance at the second end (top) (324), so that when the capacitance added by the HV cable (328) is considered, the respective load capacitances are balanced. The voltage variation between the two HV outputs is reduced.
