Abstract: An engine control system is disclosed having a unit for providing signals indicative of the position of an engine throttle member. The unit comprises a housing assembly associated with an engine throttle member and containing a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The rotor assembly moves relative to the stator assembly as the throttle member moves. The rotor and stator assemblies are electrically coupled together for producing first and second continuously variable, ratiometrically identical signals whose values depend upon the throttle member position. The first signal is delivered from the housing assembly for use in controlling the engine operation. Processing circuitry processes the second signal for producing a throttle position validation signal having a first value when the throttle member is in an engine idle range of positions and a second value when the throttle member moves beyond the idle range of positions. If the first signal and the validation signal signify incompatible throttle member positions the engine speed is limited to "idle."

Abstract: Optical fibers (1, 2) are disposed so as to oppose each other with the axes thereof deviating from each other so that an attenuation becomes greater than a designated attenuation, and the opposed portion of the optical fibers is heated and fused by heating means (3) such as an arc discharge heating portion including electrodes (3a,3b) and a power supply portion (3c). The resulting heating fusion portion is repeatedly reheated under the control of a control portion (4) until the designated attenuation is attained, by utilizing the characteristics that the attenuation drops when the heating fusion portion is reheated. In this way, fine adjustment of the attenuation can be carried out.

Abstract: To be able to control minute flow in a heat exchanger flow control valve without requiring a minute opening portion, an opening surface area of a hot-water inlet pipe 19 into which hot water flows from an engine 1 is restricted by a control passage 17a provided in a needle valve 17 of a flow control valve 4, and along with this, an opening surface area of a hot-water outlet pipe 20 connected to an inlet side of a heat exchanger for heater use 3 is restricted by a control passage 17b formed in the needle valve 17, and a middle portion A of these two control passages 17a and 17b is constantly connected to a bypass circuit 5. Pressure of the middle portion thereof can thereby be lowered, pressure applied to the heat exchanger 3 can be adequately reduced, and for this reason minute flow through the valve 17 can be controlled even without establishing a minute opening portion using the needle valve 17.

Abstract: A fluid-powered rotary actuator (10) having a body (12) with a cylindrical interior sidewall portion (14). A rotatable shaft (20) extends generally coaxially within the body (12). The shaft (20) has a grooved, outwardly facing sidewall portion (56) positioned within the body (12). A ring gear (50) is positioned generally coaxially within the body (12) and extends about the shaft (20). The ring gear (50) has a grooved, inwardly facing sidewall portion (74). The ring gear (50) is formed as a separate part from the body (12) and the ring gear grooved sidewall portion (74) is formed prior to positioning of the ring gear (50) in the body (12). The ring gear (50) is fixedly attached to the body (12) to prevent rotation therebetween by a weld (W) between the ring gear (50) and the body interior sidewall portion (14). A stop member (80) is engaged by the ring gear (50) to limit movement of the ring gear (50) toward the body first end (16) during assembly of the ring gear (50) in the body (12). In one embodiment, the ring gear (50) is welded to a stop shoulder (80). A piston sleeve (44) is mounted for reciprocal axial movement within the body (12) in response to the selective application pressurized fluid thereto. A sleeve portion thereof has a grooved, inwardly facing sidewall portion (52) engaging the shaft grooved sidewall portion (56) and a grooved, outwardly facing sidewall portion (46) engaged with the ring gear grooved sidewall portion (74) to translate axial movement of the piston (58) into clockwise or counterclockwise relative rotational movement between the shaft (20) and the body (12). A method of manufacturing the actuator (10) is also disclosed which includes forming the ring gear grooved sidewall (74) prior to positioning of the ring gear (50) in the body (12), and after positioning the ring gear (50) in the body (12), fixedly attaching the ring gear (50) to the body (12) to prevent rotation therebetween by forming a weld (W) between an attachment portion (76) of the ring gear (50) which projects axially away from the ring gear grooved sidewall portion (74) and is axially spaced apart from the ring gear grooved sidewall portion (74) by a separation distance (D) sufficiently large that the heat of the weld does not distort the ring gear (50) sufficient to impair operation of the actuator (10).

Abstract: A reaction area in a display can be enlarged from one directly above a switch display in the operator's eyesight direction. Specifically, the operator's position is determined from the driver's position or the like, and when the display is looked at to the right and upward, for instance, the reaction area is enlarged to the right and downward of a switch on the front side in the eyesight direction. Thus, operability can be improved in both cases when the display is looked at obliquely and diretly from the front.

Abstract: The present invention is a nucleotide sequence encoding acetoacetyl-oA reductase and a method for controlling biopolymer synthesis by determining the genetics and enzymology of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis at the molecular level. The purified enzymes and genes provide the means for developing new PHB-like biopolymers having polyester backbones. Specific aims are to, 1) control the chain length of the polymers produced in fermentation processes through genetic manipulation, 2) incorporate different monomers into the polymers to produce co-polymers with different physical properties, and 3) examine the physical/rheological properties of these new biopolymers in order to develop further design criteria at the molecular level. The method for engineering biopolymer synthesis includes: isolation and characterisation of the genes for the enzymes in the synthetic pathway (beta-keto-thiolase, acetoacetykl-CoA reductase and PHB synthetase); cloning of the genes in a vector(s); placement of the vector(s) under the control of regulated promoters; expression of the genes; determination of the function and use of other factors such as substrate specificity in polymer production and composition; and isolation and physical and chemical analysis of the resulting polymers.
