Abstract: A valve adjusting and injector preload tool is provided for an internal combustion engine having a valve opening member with a male threaded member operatively and adjustably contacting the valve. The tool includes a first member engageable with the threaded member for rotating the threaded member towards or away from the valve. There is a knob for rotating the first member in a first rotational direction so the male threaded member moves towards the valve and for rotating the first member in a second rotational direction so the male threaded member moves away from the valve. There is a clutch for stopping movement of the first member, as the male threaded member moves towards the valve, when the male threaded member operatively contacts the valve and takes up play between the valve opening member and the valve. There is a scale for measuring a predetermined amount of rotation of the threaded member, as the threaded member is rotated in the second rotational direction away from the valve, after the male threaded member operatively contacts the valve, and thereby setting a specified amount of play between the valve opening member and the valve. The method involves loosening any lock nut on the male threaded member. The male threaded member is rotated in a first rotational direction towards the valve until the male threaded member operatively contacts the valve. The male threaded member is then rotated in the opposite rotational direction for a specified angle of rotation related to the pitch of the male threaded member, such that a specified clearance is set between the threaded member and the valve.

Abstract: An ion thruster (20) includes a source (24) of a plasma of ions
and electrons, and an ion-optics system (34) located in sufficient
proximity to the source (24) of the plasma to extract
ions therefrom. The ion-optics system (34) has at least two
domed grids (42, 44, 46) arranged in a facing-but-spaced-apart
relationship to each other. Each grid (42, 44, 46) has a local
reference vector (58) that is perpendicular to the surface of
the grid (42, 44, 46) and a reference plane (60) perpendicular
to the reference vector (58). Each of the grids (42, 44, 46) is
formed of anisotropic pyrolytic graphite having an "ab" crystallographic
plane (64) that lies substantially in the reference
plane (60). In one form, the "ab" crystallographic plane
(64) lies coplanar with the reference plane (60) at all locations
on each domed grid (42, 44, 46) made of pyrolytic graphite.
In another form, the "ab" crystallographic plane (64) has
a constant orientation at all locations on the domed grid (42,
44, 46). In yet another form, wherein the ion optics system

the system is adapted to circulate a heat medium having a
solid point in the range of 50 - 250°C to the outside of the

elevation of the reactor by introducing a gas of a temperature

Abstract: A controller for an internal combustion engine detects
a demand variable showing a demand from a driver, and controls
an intake air volume to the internal combustion engine
according to the detected demand variable. When trouble is
detected in a system controlling the intake air volume, the
controller switches a driving control of a vehicle to a
emergency driving mode. In the emergency driving mode, the
controller keeps the intake air volume to the internal
combustion engine constant. The controller calculates a
emergency driving control variable according to the detected
demand variable, and controls the driving of the vehicle
according to the calculated emergency driving control variable.
The emergency driving control variable is a control variable
different from the intake air volume. Thus, in the emergency
driving mode, the driving of the vehicle can be controlled
by the control variable different from the intake air volume,
and a better drivability is ensured.

Abstract: A piston crank mechanism of an internal combustion
engine includes an upper link connected to a piston, a
lower link connected to both the upper link and a crankpin,
and a control link through which the lower link is linked
to an eccentric cam of a control shaft to restrict the
degree of freedom of the lower link. By varying the
angular position of the eccentric cam with respect to
the control-shaft axis, the center of oscillating motion
of the control link varies, thus varying a compression
ratio. The center of gravity of the lower link,
determined by an equivalent inertia weight obtained by
adding weights of connecting pins and weights of the
upper-link boss-shaped end and the control-link
boss-shaped end connected to the lower link via the
respective connecting pins to the lower-link self-weight,
is situated closer to the center of the crankpin.

Abstract: A combustion type waste gas treatment system capable
of oxidatively decomposing a hazardous and combustible
waste gas under heating efficiently with a structure which
allows the waste gas to mix with an auxiliary burning gas
efficiently without the occurrence of backfire in a waste
gas inlet pipe. The combustion type waste gas treatment
system has a burner part and a combustion chamber.
Combustion flames are formed to extend from the burner part
toward the combustion chamber, and a combustible waste gas
is introduced into the combustion frames from waste gas
inlet pipes thereby oxidatively decomposing the waste gas.
A flow velocity accelerating device makes the flow velocity
of the combustible waste gas flowing through the waste gas
inlet pipe higher than the burning velocity of the
combustible waste gas.

Abstract: A tilt steering apparatus has a pivot (15) fixed to, for
example, a pair of fixed side plates (4, 5) of a vehicle body.
The pivot (15) is inserted through a connection hole (14) provided
in a steering column (1). At the time of tilt adjustment,
the steering column (1) is swung around the pivot (15). In either
one of an inner peripheral surface of the connection hole
(14) and an outer peripheral surface of the pivot (15) opposite
thereto, a projection extending in a substantially circumferential
or axial direction is formed in contact with the other peripheral
surface. Consequently, the contact area between the
pivot (15) and the connection hole (14) is reduced, thereby reducing
friction therebetween. When the pivot (15) is pressed
into the connection hole (14), the projection is suitably
crushed, so that fitting between the pivot (15) and the connection
hole (14) is loosened, which is useful for the reduction
in the friction therebetween.

Abstract: An active matrix liquid crystal display drives
liquid crystal by writing through TFTs, etc. a source
signal from a signal line drive circuit to display
electrodes in display cells on a matrix substrate and
applying a common signal supplied from a common signal
generator to common electrodes on an opposite substrate,
the common signal changing in polarity in each frame.
After scanning is completed for scan lines corresponding
to one frame, a controller controls the interval between
scan periods and the cycle of change in polarity of the
common signal so as to provide a non-scan period that is
longer than the scan period. The provision of the non-scan
period extends the duration in which a specified
voltage is retained by the display cell. This reduces the
effects of variations in retained voltages caused by
parasitic capacitance which develops in reflective
electrode structures in which the display electrodes
partly overlook scan lines and signal lines. Thus, in
frame inversion drive, differences in brightness between
the top and bottom of the display screen are reduced, and
display quality is improved.

Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating a soot preform for an optical fiber. The soot preform
is fabricated by depositing glass particles on a starting rod capable of being rotated and
pulled up. The apparatus comprises elements as follows. A reaction chamber is used
for depositing the glass particles on the starting rod. An upper room is located above
the reaction chamber for receiving the soot preform formed in the upper portion of the
reaction chamber. At least one core burner is installed in the reaction chamber. A
gas-supplying inlet is located in the top part of the sidewall of the reaction chamber
closest to burner(s), and a gas-exhausting outlet is located in the top part of another
sidewall opposite to the gas-supplying inlet. In addition, at least one cladding burner
is installed in the reaction chamber. Thus, the exhausting efficiency for the stray glass
particles is increased and the bubbles and impurities in the resulting preform are
reduced such that the optical property in the lengthwise direction is stable.
