Abstract: An internal combustion engine has at least one cylinder, and a means for varying the compression ratio in the cylinder. The at least one cylinder has two oppositely directed reciprocatingly movable pistons in it, which are each connected via a piston rod with a corresponding arm, whereby each arm shows an opening in which a main shaft that connects the two arms is rotatably supported in bearings. The main shaft includes an angle with a center line of each opening. The means for varying the compression ratio in the cylinder includes a division in the main shaft, as well as drive means in order to move the parts formed by it of the main shaft apart from each other.

Abstract: A damper device is manufactured from a single integrated body. The damper device comprises a damping chamber portion, a valve housing portion with adjustable valve devices and a pressurization reservoir portion. The internal volume of the damping chamber portion is divided by a piston into a compression chamber and a return chamber and the internal volume of the pressurization reservoir portion is divided by a member that is acted upon by a pressure that pressurizes the damping medium in the device. The three different portions are arranged substantially parallel to one another and the internal volume of the valve housing is connected both to the pressurized interior of the pressurization reservoir and to both chambers of the damping chamber part so that the damper always functions with a positive pressure in both the compression and the return chamber. The body is extruded as a single workpiece with alternating heat-conducting channels and fins on its outer surface.

Abstract: Moteur diesel à injection de carburant directe présentant un piston du type à toiture à une simple pente. Le piston (13) présente une cavité (25) évidée en son centre, et la hauteur de la surface supérieure du piston (13) varie dans la direction circonférentielle. La cavité (25) est définie par des premier à troisième points spécifiques (An, Bn, Cn) sur les sections transversales d'injection de carburant (S2). Une section transversale d'injection de carburant (S2) est la section transversale de la cavité (25) qui passe par chaque axe d'injection de carburant (Li2) le long duquel le carburant est injecté depuis un point d'injection de carburant (Oinj) d'un injecteur placé sur l'axe central du piston. Les formes (voir les parties ombragées) des sections transversales d'injection de carburant (S2) sont réglées de telle sorte qu'elles sont sensiblement égales les unes aux autres. La construction uniformise le mélange d'air et de carburant dans chaque section transversale d'injection de carburant pour améliorer le rendement du moteur et réduire les composants nocifs dans les gaz d'échappement.

Abstract: A quality control method for ultrasound welding. The method provides for the generation of a tolerance range which is adjusted to the progress of the welding process and which is generated from measured values which influence the welding process. A measured value tolerance range is determined from measured values of executed welding processes, the measured values being associated with at least one parameter which influences the welding process and/or represents the goods of the welding process. Measured values are associated with an identical parameter of a further welding process following thereafter and are considered during the quality monitoring in such a way that the measured value tolerance range is changed in its form or composition to an average value for further welding processes, in accordance with the variance between the additional measured values and the tolerance range determined from previous measured values.

Abstract: Lorsqu'une commande d'arrêt d'un moteur est émise (OUI à S100), il est déterminé si l'état courant est l'état d'autorisation de réduction de régime dans lequel la phase de la soupape d'admission est amenée dans la zone de phase dans laquelle le rapport de réduction de régime est élevé, le moteur étant alors arrêté si la commande de réduction de régime de moteur obéissant à un modèle de réduction de régime prédéterminé est déclenchée à l'instant courant (S120). Si l'état courant n'est pas l'état d'autorisation de réduction de régime (NON à S120), le déclenchement de la commande de réduction de régime moteur n'est pas autorisé, ou la commande de réduction de régime moteur est limitée par réduction de la décélération (S140), puis la commande de phase de soupape d'admission est exécutée (S150). De cette manière, une durée requise est respectée avant arrêt du moteur, c'est à dire qu'une durée requise au cours de laquelle la phase de la soupape d'admission est changée est respectée.

Abstract: An apparatus in an electronic control system allows two or three wire operations. A power supply (150) can supply power to the enclosed circuitry in both two and three wire installations. Two separate zero cross detectors are used such that timing information can be collected in both two and three wire installations. Both zero cross detectors (110) are monitored and are used to automatically configure the electronic control. Over voltage circuitry senses an over voltage condition across a MOSFET which is in the off state and turns the MOSFET on so that it desirably will not reach the avalanche region. Over current circuitry senses when the current through the MOSFETs has exceeded a predetermined current threshold and then turns the MOSFETs off so they do not exceed the MOSFETs' safe operating area (SOA) curve. Latching circuitry (120) is employed to keep the protection circuitry in effect even after a fault condition has cleared. Lockout circuitry (130) is used to prevent one protection circuit from tripping after the other circuit has already tripped from a fault condition. The protection circuitry output is desirably configured such that it can bypass and override the normal turn on and turn off impedance and act virtually directly on the gates of the MOSFETs. Preferably, the system has a high efficiency switching type power supply in parallel with a low frequency controllably conductive device.

Abstract: An IR signaling generator and method divides the functionality of generation between software and hardware to provide a flexible way to generate IR signals, such as remote control signals. The hardware includes a clock generator for generating a carrier clock signal and a data clock signal, a buffer memory that is loaded with instructions representing an encoded data sequence; a control circuit, and a transmitter including a modulator. Each instruction contains an on/off value that is to be modulated with the data clock signal and a pulse duration value that indicates how long the on/off value is to modulate the clock signal. Using the data clock signal, the control circuit measures the amount of time the on/off value modulates the clock signal and causes the buffer to advance to the next instruction in the sequence when the measured amount of time is equal to the pulse duration value.
