Abstract: The invention concerns materials for eliminating nitrogen oxides NO and NO2 present in exhaust gases, in particular of motor vehicle internal combustion engines operating in a medium containing oxidants above stoichiometric level, capable of adsorbing the nitrogen oxides, then capable of desorbing the nitrogen oxides by a rise in temperature, relative to the adsorption temperature or by treatment in rich mixture, said materials comprising mixed oxides including metals in octahedral co-ordination, octahedra which link up so that the structure is laminated. Said materials adsorb nitrogen oxides by insertion and are not poisoned when in contact with sulphur or carbon oxides contained in the gases. In the presence of a metal of group  VIII, said materials are capable of eliminating nitrogen oxides adsorbed by reduction when treated in rich mixture.

Abstract: An apparatus uses transmission antenna diversity to compensate for fading. An encoder
according to a first embodiment forms 4 combinations each including 3 symbols so that 4 input
symbols should be transmitted only once at each antenna and each time interval, and delivers the
combinations to the 3 transmission antennas for 4 time intervals, and two or more symbols
selected from the 4 input symbols are phase-rotated by predetermined phase values before being
transmitted via the transmission antennas. An encoder according to a second embodiment forms
3 combinations each including 3 symbols so that 3 input symbols should be transmitted only
once at each antenna and each time interval, and delivers the combinations to the 3 transmission
antennas for 3 time intervals, and two or more symbols selected from the 3 input symbols are
phase-rotated by predetermined phase values before being transmitted via the transmission
antennas. In this way, the apparatus secures a maximum diversity order and copes with fast
fading by reducing transmission latency.

Abstract: A gas injection valve designed for long-term storage of
liquefied carbon dioxide, adapted to minimize the permeation
of carbon gas through a seal ring even if used for a long time,
thus solving the problems including an increase in injection
concentration of the contents and a decrease in the number of
times of spraying. Particularly, it is arranged that a seal
ring (17) closely contacts the three surfaces of a seal ring
holding groove (18) holding the seal ring (17), and the outer
peripheral surface of a valve pin, whereby the gas permeation
area of the seal ring (17) is reduced to a half or less of the
conventional valve. Further, the seal ring (17) is made of an
elastic material whose carbon dioxide gas permeability is low,
thereby greatly reducing the amount of gas permeation through
the seal ring (17).

Title: Method for determining temporal and amplitude threshold values of screens during ultrasound testing of spot welding joints
Inventor: BUSCHKE PAUL
IPC: G01N29/07
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the threshold value of screens which enable an evaluation of a sound coupling during the ultrasound testing of a series of spot welding joints of a selected type.  Initially, a geometrical minimal thickness dMin is established for the spot welding joints.  At least one echo of the front surface (entrance echo) is received in addition to one echo of the first reflection on a rear wall of the spot welding joint (first rear wall echo) and at least one further (n-th) rear wall echo.  The propagation time tMin of the ultra sound pulse is defined for the path to the front surface to the rear wall and back to the front surface at a minimal thickness dMin and a propagation time tT for the total thickness.  A first screen (B1) is set for the signal of the rear wall echo, starting at a moment in time t1S = tE + tMin - tSA and ending at a moment in time t1T = tE + tT +tSE, whereby tSA and tSE are additional small security measures.  An n-th screen is correspondingly determined for the n-th rear wall echo.  The testing head is oriented differently.
