Abstract: An inductive-ignition system for internal-combustion engines with electronically controlled spark advance. A voltage generator (10, 12) comprises the primary winding (L1) of an ignition coil (L1, L2) each side of which is connected to the ground by an electronic current-control switch (MOS1, MOS2) the conductive state of which is inhibited by electric signals supplied to the gate (G) of the respective control switch (MOS1, MOS2) by a magnetic pick-up (P1, P2); the two pick-ups (P1, P2) have different number of turns and are angularly spaced apart from one another in the magnetic circuit of the voltage generator (10, 12), to trigger the control switches (MOS1, MOS2) to generate sparks at different running speeds of the engine. An inhibition circuit (23) is provided for maintaining the inhibited state of the two control switches (MOS1, MOS2) allowing the spark to be maintained for the entire time during which the ignition coil (L1, L2) generates a voltage. The system comprises moreover a revolution limiting circuit (T1, T2) for limiting the maximum revolution number of the engine and means (DZ3, RG'K) for eliminating the negative influences of the magnetic system of the voltage generator (10, 12) on the ignition circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method for melting ferrous metals, particularly scrap, by means of an electric arc melting furnace for the production of steel for significantly reducing the consumption of electric power supplied to the melting furnace for melting. In order to achieve this aim, the invention meets the heat demand of the melting process by introducing and burning complementary energy-releasing material that is intimately mixed with the ferrous material fed into the furnace. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the complementary energy-releasing material is introduced and burned during the conveyance of the ferrous material in a horizontal preheating channel of which the plant (for example a so-called CONSTEEL plant) is provided, but the invention is not limited to use in combination with such a plant but can also be applied to all other known plants for melting ferrous material (for example, conventional shaft furnaces with a vertical feeding channel). The attainable saving in electric power, for example by using tire rubber as added energy-releasing material, can be on the order of 20%, calculated on the total necessary melting energy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A submersible connector for use in an underwater environment. The submersible connector has a receptacle and a plug, which are mated together. The receptacle has a shell, an inside chamber, a circuit contact, an outside chamber, and a stopper. The chambers both contain dielectric fluid. When demated, the stopper is disposed in the inside and outside chambers, and those chambers are open to one another, permitting free flow of dielectric fluid therebetween. The plug has a conductive plug probe. As the plug probe is inserted into the receptacle, it first enters the outside chamber. The outside chamber has an end-seal and is closed-off from the outside environment by the stopper in contact with the end-seal, when demated, and by the plug probe in contact with the end-seal, when mated. The plug probe is inserted farther into the outside chamber, it forces dielectric fluid into the inside chamber, which has a flexible bladder that expands with increases in volume in the inside chamber. The probe then enters the inside chamber and makes contact with the circuit contact and thereby makes an electrical connection. When fully inserted into the receptacle, the probe lightly seals-off the outside from the inside chamber, forming a non-fluid-tight seal between the two chambers.

Abstract: Cette soupape régulable (10), de préférence à commande électromagnétique, comprend deux étages dont le premier (14, 18) est actionné et le deuxième (16, 20) fonctionne automatiquement. La section transversale de passage du premier étage (14, 18) est petite et la section transversale de passage du deuxième étage (16, 20) est grande. Le premier étage (14, 18) maintient fermé le deuxième étage (16, 20). Lorsque le premier étage (14, 18) s'ouvre, un élément à ressort (32) ouvre le deuxième étage (16, 20). Cette soupape (10) présente l'avantage d'être actionnée par une force réduite d'actionnement qui est exclusivement à disposition du premier étage (14, 18). Cette soupape a également une grande section transversale de passage, donc une résistance réduite à l'écoulement.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of polymeric foam materials for insulation. These polymeric foams are prepared by polymerization of certain water-in-oil emulsions having a relatively high ratio of water phase to oil phase, commonly known in the art as high internal phase emulstions, or "HIPEs." The HIPE-derived foam materials used in the present invention comprise a generally hydrophobic, flexible, semi-flexible, or rigid nonionic polymeric foam structure of interconnected open-cells. These foam structures have: A) a specific surface area per foam volume of at least about 0.01 m2/cc; B) a density of less than about 0.05 g/cc; and C) a glass transition temperature (Tg) of between about -20 DEG  and 90 DEG  C. The foams can be used as thermal, acoustic, and/or mechanical insulation materials. In a preferred embodiment, the foams used can be prepared, packaged, and shipped in a compressed, high density state and will "spring back" upon activation (e.g. heat) to the original density of the foam.

Abstract: Le problème qui se pose pour des freins commandés par des moyens électromécaniques ou par des moteurs électriques consiste à régler le jeu à l'ouverture, car pour ce type de freins, on ne peut avoir recours à des moyens de rappel automatiques tels que ceux qui sont prévus pour les freins hydrauliques. A cet effet, il est tout d'abord nécessaire de déterminer une position neutre du moteur qui soit définie de telle façon qu'en cette position, les éléments de friction s'appliquent directement sur le disque de freinage. Cette situation est déterminée au moyen d'un dispositif de détection qui, dans un mode de réalisation préféré, fonctionne comme suit. Le moteur est commandé, à partir d'une position inconnue, avec un couple moteur constant, de telle façon que les garnitures de friction soient amenées sur le disque de freinage. Le moteur accélère alors, du fait que dans la course de démarrage, les résistances demeurent constantes. Lorsque les garnitures de friction sont appliquées sur le disque de freinage, il se produit une décélération brusque du moteur. Le passage à zéro de l'accélération angulaire peut être détecté et interprété comme le fait que les garnitures de friction sont appliquées sur le disque de freinage. A la suite de quoi, un signal dit de contact est généré, ce qui a pour effet que le moteur, réglé en position, est ramené en arrière selon sur un angle déterminé correspondant au jeu à l'ouverture à régler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuously variable transmission constructed in such a way that it can speed-change the power inputted to an input shaft according to the load applied to an output shaft and transmit the power to the output shaft even though all the gears remain engaged, and in addition reverse operation can also be effectuated in a simple way.Reviewing the construction thereof, it is mainly composed of a speed change system, which receives power generated by an engine, changes speed and transmits it to the output shaft, a speed change controlling system which automatically adjusts the rotational ratio to correspond to the condition of the load on the output shaft, and a reverse rotation system.The present invention, comprises two (compund) gear sets in which each same element is removed from two planet gear sets; and a reverse rotation system, and the power inputted through an input element selected from the two gear sets is changed into the required speed and transmitted to the output shaft.Reviewing the operational characteristics, the present invention is constructed in such a way that the decelerated rotation smaller than the input rotation is transmitted to the impeller by utilizing an direct clutch. Therefore, it is a characteristic of the present invention that the rotational force transmitted to the impeller is alway larger than the input torque.In view of the effects, the present invention can obtain a large propulsion force, preferable performance, smooth and quiet operation, and can speed-change steplessly at the time of reverse operation.
