Abstract: The foot pedal (2) is pivot (4) mounted and has a pair of cam elements (5,6) that engage the arms of a torsion spring (11). As the pedal is depressed the arms are spread and hysteris friction between the surfaces eliminate motion fluctuations. When foot pressure is removed the spring forces are applied to the cams to return the unit to the original position.

Abstract: A fuel control system for a gas turbine engine includes series-connected
first and second metering valves (1, 20) for providing a metered fuel flow
to an engine supply line (22). A downward failure condition in either
valve is detected by a detector (31) which produces a signal
representative of such failure. A changeover device (23, 32) operates in
response to the failure signal to place the system in a condition in which
a sufficient metered fuel flow is maintained via the non-failed valve.

Abstract: An optical disk structure and optical disk recorder which enables data to be rewritten
onto the recording layer of the optical disk [50]. A clock reference structure is
permanently formed along servo tracks [52, 54, 56] of the optical disk [50]. An optical
transducer [82] is coupled to the clock reference structure and generates a clock
reference signal simultaneously with writing new data onto the recording layer of the
optical disk [50]. The data is written as data marks [58] along the servo tracks [52, 54,
56]. Each of the data marks [58] includes edges. The edges of the data marks [58] are
recorded in synchronization with a write clock. The write clock is phase-locked with
the clock reference signal. Therefore, the edges of the data marks [58] are aligned
with the clock reference structure with sub-bit accuracy. Standard DVD-ROM disk
readers are not able to detect the high spatial frequency of the clock reference
structure. Therefore, the optical disk [50] structure and optical disk recorder of this
invention allow production of re-writable optical disks which can be read by standard
DVD-ROM disk readers.

Abstract: In a hollow resin container (10), at a connecting portion between
a separator (16) and a resin layer (30), through-holes (36,38), each of which has a
surface which is coplanar with and continuous with an inner side
surface of the hollow resin container and whose axial direction
cross-sectional configuration is triangular, are formed at a base
portion of the separator (16). The surfaces of bottom portions of the
through-holes (36,38), which surfaces are coplanar with and continuous
with the inner side surface of the hollow resin container, are covered
with the gas barrier sheet (32). Namely, a cross-sectional area S of the
separator (16) at the connecting portion in a plane which is coplanar with
the inner side surface of the hollow resin container is smaller than a
cross-sectional area S4 of the separator in a plane parallel to the
aforementioned plane and at a region at which the through-holes are
not formed (S4 > S). As a result, at the connecting portion between
the separator (16) and the resin layer (30), a region at which the gas barrier
sheet does not exist is made small. Therefore, sealability at the
connecting portion can improve.

Abstract: For determining an optimal fusion current to be used in welding the ends of two optical
fibers to each other the intensity of light emitted from the fibers is measured when heating
the fibers by means of currents between welding electrodes. These currents are selected to
be significantly lower than the range, in which the optimal fusion current can be expected
to be located. From the relation of the measured light intensity values and the different set
currents a functional relationship is obtained, which is used for extrapolating to find the
current which produces a higher light intensity value, which is the desired one during the
actual welding. This is based on the assumption that the light intensity emitted from the
fibers is dependent on the current used in the heating the fibers in the electric arc between
the welding electrodes. An exponential type relation can be used requiring only two parameters
to be measured for each splice and thus two different currents for heating the fiber
in the arc is sufficient for determining the optimal fusion. Such a determination is easily
implemented in automatic splicers having advanced image processing and logic and
arithmetic facilities and gives good results for splices made e.g. on different heights above
sea level.

Abstract: L'appareil concerne un procédé servant à la séparation et à la liquéfaction des gaz à plusieurs constituants provenant d'un courant gazeux sous pression. Le procédé consiste à refroidir le courant gazeux mixte sous pression dans un échangeur de chaleur de manière à condenser un ou plusieurs constituants dudit gaz qui possèdent le point de condensation le plus élevé; à séparer les constituants condensés du courant gazeux qui en résulte, et ce dans un séparateur gaz/liquides; à refroidir le constituant condensé du courant gazeux, obtenu au terme de la séparation, en le passant par un détendeur et; à renvoyer le courant de constituants refroidi dans l'échangeur de chaleur de manière à ce que ledit courant fonctionne dans l'échangeur de chaleur comme un frigorigène. On répète ensuite le cycle pour le courant de gaz mixtes restants de manière à en extraire le constituant gazeux suivant et à refroidir davantage le courant de gaz mixtes restants. Le processus continue jusqu'à ce que tous les constituants gazeux soient séparés du courant gazeux désiré. On passe ensuite le courant gazeux final par un échangeur de chaleur et un détendeur finaux. Le détendeur diminue la pression du courant gazeux et le refroidit, ce qui permet à une partie du courant gazeux de se liquéfier à l'intérieur d'un réservoir. La partie du courant gazeux qui ne s'est pas liquéfiée est renvoyée dans chacun des échangeurs de chaleur où elle fonctionne comme un frigorigène.

Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver is provided which can
reliably perform a seek operation for an ensemble. Upon a
seek instruction, a system controller 38A makes a front end
2 sequentially tune in frequencies of a plurality of
ensembles. When a NULL symbol is detected at some
reception frequency, a frequency error detector 33A decodes
carrier-components of PRS and judges whether a maximum
correlation value of a correlation function calculated
between the decoded carrier-components and a predetermined
reference code is equal to or higher than a predetermined
value. If the maximum correlation value is equal to or
higher than the predetermined value, the seek operation is
terminated. And frequency error data calculated by the
