IPC: F16L37/40
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a pipe coupling
socket having a main body (2) containing a plurality of
lock balls (4) for locking a plug (9) accepted in the
main body. The main body (2) has a projecting lock
portion (13) which projects from the outer circumferential
surface and has a top surface in which a groove
(15) is formed. The operation sleeve has a stepped
portion formed in the circumferential direction on
the inner surface thereof, such as to engage with an
axial end of the projecting lock portion (13), thus
inhibiting the operation sleeve (5) from transferring
to the rear end portion side, a lock releasing recess
(16) recessed in the stepped portion (14) such as to
house an axial end of the projecting lock portion (13),
thus allowing the operation sleeve (5) to transfer to
the rear end portion side, and protruding portions
(17, 18) which can be fitted to the groove when the
projecting lock portions are placed at a position
which matches the lock releasing recess in the axial
direction, and at a position which is offset from the
lock releasing recess in the circumferential direction.
The projecting lock portion (13) can go over the
protruding portions (17, 18) when the user moves the
operation sleeve (5) in the circumferential direction.

Inventor: NAKANO MASAHIKO
IPC: F02M59/46
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: During the low load operation, this fuel injection
control device reduces the initial armature (44)
displacement speed of the solenoid actuator(2) that
drives the open-close valve(5) against the low fuel
pressure in the balance chamber(30), thereby lowering
impact noise produced in the solenoid portions (40,41).
When the engine is determined to be idling, a command
pulse width(Pw) which energizes the solenoids (43) of
the solenoid actuator(2) is calculated according to the
target injection amount(Qb), the common rail pressure
(Pc), and the target fuel injection timing(Ti). Since
the initial period of the command pulse width(Pw), i.e.,
pull-in current conduction period(Pwpi), is set shorter
than the pull-in current conduction period(Pwpi) for
the high load operation of the engine, the initial
armature (44) displacement speed of the solenoid(43)
becomes relatively slow reducing the impact noise of
the armature (44) abutting against the stopper.

representation of the document calculates a logical minimum
width equal to the minimum width required to display all
screen objects within the document at their normal size,
creates a physical markup representation of the document,
the physical markup representation having a width at least
as wide as the logical minimum width, and conforms the
physical markup representation to a target size, including a
target width by scaling the width of the physical markup
representation by a scaling factor derived from the ratio of
an element of the target size to the logical minimum width.

Abstract: A memory for storing a reorganizing array of an initial array of data
of binary ones and zeros to enable decoding of the reorganized array to reproduce
the information content of the initial array, and the method of reorganizing the
initial array. The memory includes a data circuit array that has a plurality of
memory cells arranged in rows and columns for storing the reorganized array. The
memory also has a plurality of flag memory cells and a row of XOR gates and
inverters. The initial array is divided into sections. Each row of each section of
the initial array that has more ones than zeros is inverted, and the corresponding
flag bit is also inverted. Each column of the initial array that has more ones than
zeros is inverted, and the corresponding flag bit is also inverted. This is repeated
until each row in each section and each column has at least as many ones as zeros,
producing the reorganized array. The reorganized array is stored in the data
circuit array, and the flag bits corresponding to each row of each section are stored
in the flag memory cells. Each XOR gate is connected to one column of the
memory cells and to the column of the flag memory cells that correspond to the
column of memory cells. An inverter is connected only to the columns whose
corresponding flag bit is a one. In an alternative embodiment, the memory
contains XOR gates and flag memory columns but not the inverters. In another
alternative embodiment, the memory contains inverters but not the XOR gates or
flag memory cells. A memory for storing the reorganizing array reduces the
number of ones stored in the memory, reducing the memory's power consumption
and increasing its access time.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à des dispositifs absorbants et plus particulièrement à des dispositifs absorbants qui sont portés en position interlabiale par des utilisatrices féminines, comme protection cataméniale et/ou comme protection contre l'incontinence, comportant une composition émolliente sur leur surface en contact avec le corps de l'utilisatrice. Ce dispositif absorbant interlabial comprend une surface en contact avec le corps de l'utilisatrice, qui est préalablement humidifiée ou traitée avec un émollient, pour empêcher l'assèchement du tissu labial de l'utilisatrice et pour réduire le frottement de la structure contre le tissu labial de l'utilisatrice. Ce dispositif absorbant est de préférence conçu pour pouvoir maintenir le contact avec les surfaces internes des grandes lèvres de l'utilisatrice, lorsqu'il est porté. La composition émolliente en question contient un émollient plastique ou fluide, tel qu'une huile minérale, de la vaseline et/ou du polysiloxane, un agent immobilisant, tel qu'un alcool gras ou une cire, pour immobiliser l'émollient sur la surface du dispositif en contact avec le corps de l'utilisatrice, et, éventuellement, un tensioactif hydrophile destiné à améliorer l'humectabilité de la surface enduite. Dès lors que l'émollient en question est pour ainsi dire complètement immobilisé sur la surface du dispositif absorbant, une moins grande quantité d'émollient d'enduction est nécessaire pour produire les effets thérapeutiques ou protecteurs désirés.

Abstract: Definition of lens topography is using a series of steps, starting from the outermost radius (ordinate y). A point source of light lies on the lens axis (abscissa x) at (0,0) projecting beams towards step surfaces having predetermined angles relative to the central abscissa. The first step of lens topography involves using selected tip coordinates (xA1, yA1); the beam intersection angles, and intersections (flx1, fly1) with the exit surface are calculated. A sufficient number of intervening beams is similarly treated, to design the exit surface configuration for the first step only, to the required degree of accuracy. Based on this stage, second, third and n stages of calculation are undertaken for the remaining steps. The central section (15) is designed conventionally, for the required focal property of the lens entire. The derived radial cross section is rotated about the axis, completing the external outer surface of the lens. An Independent claim is included for a flat catadioptric lens with the particular feature that the central section has an aspherical entry surface and a plane exit surface fulfilling the focal requirement in common with the outer rings. All exit surfaces blend continuously (but do not necessarily form an entire plane). Preferably all upper sides are axi-parallel. Preferred features: The method is further elaborated in terms of the above principles.

stored on the capacitor (406), or the reference voltage changes,
the output of the comparator (414) changes to alter the position

Abstract: A transfer case for a four-wheel drive vehicle
includes a center differential which provides a direct
output in two-wheel drive and a slightly reduced speed
output in four-wheel drive. In two-wheel drive, the
outputs of the center differential are locked together
by a clutch collar and drive torque is provided to the
primary drive line only. In four-wheel drive, the
clutch collar unlocks the differential and couples the
output from a sun gear to a chain drive sprocket in the
secondary drive line. The center differential is
driven through the carrier and operates as an open
differential. The ring (outer) gear drives the primary
drive line and the sun (center) gear drives the
secondary drive line through cooperating chain
sprockets and a chain. The chain drive sprockets are
of unequal size and effect a speed reduction between
the drive and driven sprockets. This speed reduction is
nominally the same as the speed reduction from the
input to the primary output achieved through the center
differential. Thus, in four-wheel drive mode, the
drive (speed reduction) ratio through the drive lines
is raised, improving the acceleration and pulling power
of the vehicle. In two-wheel drive, more favorable
fuel economy is provided with the lower drive ratio.
