Inventor: POYSER JOHN
IPC: F16F9/46
Filed: 1985-05-02
Abstract: The present specification discloses a shock absorber for use on automatic vehicles. Such shock absorbers include piston valves (5, 51) and, dependent upon type, foot valves (101 ). These valves are preset during manufacture to an optimum setting dependent upon the type of use for which the vehicle is designed. However, a vehicle will possibly be used during its life on terrain or at speeds which do not match this optimum setting. To allow for in use adjustment various mechanical modifications have been made to shock absorbers. However, these modifications have resulted in a bulky shock absorber which is difficult to include in a vehicle design.The present invention provides a shock absorber of monotube or twin-tube configuration wherein the piston (5) within the shock absorber includes an electromagnetically operable bypass valve (39, 37, 29) the electromagnetically operable valve (39, 37, 29) being controlled remotely from the outside of the shock absorber via an electrical connection (45) which extends along the piston rod (7). In a twin tube configuration according to the present invention, the foot valve assembly (101 ) also includes an electromagnetically operable bypass valve (121,129) which is remotely controlled from the outside of the shock absorber via an electrical connection. These electrical connections (45) do not affect the overall design of the shock absorber and can thus be easily included in a vehicle design. Further, these electrical connections can be connected to a microprocessor so that the shock absorber valves are controlled by the microprocessor dependent upon the values of certain parameters, e.g. speed, load, fed to the microprocessor from appropriate sensors.

Abstract: A first matrix relationship is defined by a plurality of switches operative in first and second states in accordance with the logic levels of binary signals introduced to the switches. The switches in the matrix relationship receive binary signals of relatively high binary significance. An activating line is connected to the matrix relationship to activate storage members, such as capacitors, connected to the matrix relationship. The number of storage members energized by the activating line at each instant is related to the value coded by the logic levels of the binary signals introduced to the matrix relationship. For increasing binary values, the storage members previously energized in the plurality by the activating line continue to be energized and additional storage members in the plurality are energized. An interpolating line is also provided in the first matrix relationship. The interpolating line receives a voltage related to the binary value coded by the logic levels of the binary signals of relatively low binary significance. This voltage may be produced by a second matrix relationship of conventional construction. This voltage is introduced through the interpolating line to a particular one of the storage members in the plurality, this storage member constituting the next to be connected to the activating line for increasing binary values. An output signal is produced corresponding to the cumulative value of the energy stored in the storage members in the plurality and in the particular storage member. The output signal may be produced by an integrator amplifier connected to the storage members in the plurality.

Abstract: A high speed powered railway bogie arrangement comprises a traction motor assembly mounted from the locomotive body so as to be isolated from, but to swivel with. the bogie. The motor drive shafts may be parallel to the axles of the bogie wheelsets. A flexible drive train accommodates relative motion between the traction motor assembly and the bogie wheelsets. A linkage between the bogie and the traction motor assembly allows for some degree of lost motion between swivelling of the bogie and swivelling of the traction motor assembly. 
     By decoupling the mass of the traction motors from the bogie, "hunting" disturbances of the bogie, which tend to arise at high speeds, are minimised. A Watt linkage between the bogie and the locomotive body allows the bogie lateral freedom of movement with respect to the locomotive body.

Abstract: An optical axis adjusting apparatus for an electron microscope for aligning the optical axis of a radiation lens system (2) and the optical axis of an imaging lens system (5) with each other is disclosed. A magnetization current of an objective lens (5a) or an accelerating voltage is changed stepwise and an image by the electron microscope is taken in for each change step. The taken-in images are integrated and averaged to produce a blurred image which is in turn stored in an image memory (14). While displaying this blurred image on a CRT monitor (20) together with a cross marker, the amount of deflection of an electron beam inputted from a deflection input device (18) for moving the cross marker in an interlocking manner is changed so that a cross point of the cross marker is positioned to coincide with a current center or voltage center recognizable from the blurred image displayed. Thereby, the cross marker is moved by an amount equal to the amount of movement of the image due to the change of the deflection amount but in a direction reverse to the direction of the image movement.

Abstract: A method for producing variegated plants in which plants are treated in their growth process with chlorophyll inhibitors having the effects of destroying chlorophyll in the plant body directly or indirectly, or of blocking the formation of chlorophyll in the plant body. The chlorophyll inhibitors destroy chlorophyll or block the biosynthesis of chlorophyll by an excessive incorporation of boron, blockage of the intake of magnesium, iron and manganese, desctruction of proteins and amino acids, abnormal growth of cells by means of hormonal action, obstruction of the formation of carotinoid, inhibition of electron transfer system, or by the direct inhibition of the biosynthesis of chlorophyll itself. By the method, the plants with interesting modes and aspect of variegation can be obtained artificially by mass production, and the plants thus variegated by the method are the same as to untreated plants or their green leaf type counterparts in their characteristic including the environment resistance, such as light resistance and cold resistance, pest resistance, growth rate and breeding coefficient.
