Abstract: A valve spring mechanism is provided which is suitable for use with the inlet or exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine, and includes a valve head and a valve stem. The mechanism includes a piston/cylinder arrangement in which the cylinder surrounds a portion of the valve stem to define a chamber. The piston is slidable and sealingly mounted on the valve stem. The mechanism also has force transmitting means for transmitting the force produced on the piston by gas pressure within the chamber to the valve stem, and a spring operating on the piston and the stem of the valve for applying a force to the stem tending to close the valve in the event of failure of chamber gas pressure. The spring is positioned to maintain it in a compressed condition during normal operation of the mechanism as a result of gas pressure within the chamber.

Abstract: A screwdriver with a bit storage member rotatable about a slotted, apertured core. A magnet-tipped push rod slides through the core. A magnetic lever arm is pivotally coupled to the core and biased toward its slot. The rod moves through the member between extended and retracted positions. In the extended position, the core is rotatable with respect to the member to position the slot adjacent a bit storage cavity; and, the lever arm is pivotally biased toward and through the slot, magnetically attracting the tool bit in the cavity. While the rod moves into the retracted position, the member is not rotatable about the core; the rod pushes the arm and bit away from the cavity, through the slot into the core; the rod's magnet moves forwardly magnetically attracting the bit; and, pushes the bit forwardly through a shaft to protrude through the shaft's open forward end.

Abstract: An RF power oscillator for contactless card antennas shapes a carrier signal at the operating frequency utilizing a delay circuit having a number of taps for delaying the carrier signal by different lengths of time. The delayed signals are input into a buffer and output through resistors to a node coupled to the antenna. The resulting waveform for a square wave input signal, and equal-length delay taps, is a trapezoidal wave output. Any input wave form can be shaped in a variety of ways depending upon the combinations of delay taps used. Since the buffer drivers for each delayed wave switch state at slightly different times, the amplitude and bandwidth of emitted electromagnetic interference (EMI) is reduced for the transmission circuit.
