Title: Electronically controlled throttle device
Filed: 2013-01-18
Abstract: An electronically controlled throttle device, eg in a motorcycle, comprises a throttle valve 21 which is opened or closed by a motor 23 via a gear 22 and is urged in the closing direction by a return spring 24. To diagnose a defect in the throttle device, a diagnosis unit 83a in the ECU 8 sets a target diagnosis opening degree of the throttle valve, drives the motor 23 and discriminates whether the sensed opening degree matches the diagnosis opening degree after a first predetermined time has passed. The diagnosis unit 83a then interrupts driving of the motor 23 to close the throttle valve fully by the force of the return spring 24 and discriminates whether the opening degree of the throttle valve matches a second diagnosis opening degree after a second predetermined time has passed, thereby enabling diagnosis of a defect in the return spring. The diagnosis unit calculates and sets the first and second predetermined times based on a state of the electronically controlled throttle device, eg ambient temperature, engine water and oil temperatures and (for the first predetermined time) the driving voltage of the motor 23.

Title: Fischer-tropsch catalysts and method of preparation thereof
Filed: 2012-02-07
Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in the design of Fischer-Tropsch catalysts comprising a support and cobalt on the support.Â  A first aspect is the modification of the silica support with at least 11 wt% titania to prevent the formation of cobalt silicates, thereby limiting the deactivation resulting from the silicate formation.Â  A second aspect is the provision of CO3O4 particles highly dispersed on the catalyst support with an average particle diameter of the cobalt oxide particle of less than 12nm in order to improve catalytic activity and selectivity.Â  A third aspect is the deposition of the catalyst precursor on the support by contact with a solution or suspension comprising the catalyst metal precursors and a carboxylic acid, preferably an alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid in order to minimize the fracturing and fragmentation of the catalyst precursor during the following steps of drying and calcining, thereby preventing the formation of smaller catalyst particles, which should be removed by screening in order to limit pressure drop in the reactor.
Patent IT-AN20000006-D0 (IT)
Inventor: MANINI ANDREA
IPC: F24H1/20
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: This invention describes a method for heating water to be used for sanitary purposes in a storage tank (5) and certain pieces of equipment which implement this method. The invention's main feature is that when the cold water from the main water supply system enters the said storage tank (5), it is forced to pass across a portion (15.b) of a heat exchanger (15), which is sufficiently powerful to bring the said water immediately up to, or very close to, the usage temperature. The said heat exchanger (15) also heats up the water during the storage phases. The advantage of this invention is that the negative effects of the mixing of the cold incoming water with the already heated water in the storage tank (5) are either eliminated or significantly reduced.

Filed: 1980-10-24
Granted: 1983-09-01
Abstract: A process for washing fabrics includes the steps of contacting the fabrics with a liquor containing a detergent active compound and an orthophosphate and subsequently contacting the fabrics with a liquor containing a tripolyphosphate. The tripolyphosphate may be added to the orthophosphate-containing liquor or may be present in a separate liquor.

Title: Intrusion warning system
Inventor: MONGEON RONALD W
IPC: G08B13/12
Filed: 1981-11-19
Granted: 1986-04-10
Abstract: An intrusion warning system for protecting a wall or fence, in particular a chain-link fence, against intrusion by cutting through and/or climbing over same. A small-diameter shielded electrical cable, e.g. a coaxial cable or a shielded twisted pair is mounted on the fence and the vibrations of the fence detected by sensing the small electrical field generated when the dielectric material between the conductors of the cable is stressed by the minute flexing of the cable caused by such vibrations. The sensed electric field signal is AM detected, shaped and then processed as to duration and persistence. An alarm indicating an attempted cut-through type of intrusion is activated if a preselected number of signals of very short duration, indicating abrupt disturbances of the fence, are detected. A separate alarm indicating an attempted climb-over intrusion is activated only if the detected signal persists for a period of time longer than that of the signals used for the cut-through indication and is present for a predetermined portion of a preset time period.
