Inventor: SUSUMU INAMURA
IPC: F16J15/08
Filed: 1991-07-03
Abstract: The metal gasket (A) of the invention is installed in an internal combustion engine. The engine includes a plurality of cylinder bores (Hc) and bolt holes (Hb), and at least first and second fluid holes. The first fluid hole (Hw1) is located in an area surrounded by imaginary lines (L) linking between the centers of the bolt holes (Hb) along the outer periphery of the gasket, and the second fluid hole (Hw2) is located outside the area surrounded by the imaginary lines (L). The gasket (A) is basically formed of a first metal plate (A10) and includes a plurality of holes corresponding to the cylinder bores (Hc), bolt holes (Hb) and first and second fluid holes (Hw1,Hw2). The first metal plate (A10) includes a first bead (A11) around the first fluid hole (Hw1) and a second bead (A13) around the second fluid hole (Hw2). The height of the second bead (A13) may be less than the height of the first bead (A11). The second bead (A13) may have spring constant less than that of the first bead (A11). Therefore, when the gasket (A) is tightened, the first bead (A11) is sufficiently compressed to seal around the same. Other metal plates may be laminated with the first metal plate to form a steel laminate gasket. The first and second beads may be formed on the different plates.

Abstract: A sprocket including spaced rims (34,36) with sprocket teeth (30) confined between the rims. The rims cooperatively define a configured periphery with link-supporting arc portions (26) located at the teeth tips and flat sections (24) extended between the arc portions. As a side link approaches the sprocket, the leading lower corner (the toe of the leading footprint) passes over a flat portion (24) to remain out of contact with the sprocket. The following supporting arc portion rotates up into the notch formed in the bottom edge of the side link to support the side link as it travels around the sprocket. The hammering effect of the leading lower corner of the side link impacting the sprocket of prior devices is avoided.

Abstract: A compression bone screw apparatus (10) includes an elongated cylindrical shaft member (23) with a first smaller diameter portion that is of generally uniform cylindrical configuration, and a second enlarged diameter annular proximate end portion (27). An internal bore (28) extends longitudinally along the length of the shaft member (23), being open ended so that a driver tool (19) can extend through the elongated cylindrical shaft member (23) during installation of the compression bone screw apparatus (10). A generally cylindrical lag screw member (30) is slidably mounted in telescoping fashion upon the shaft member (23) at a position spaced from the annular proximate end portion (20) thereof. Splines prevent rotation of the shaft (23) with respect to the lag (30) as the lag (30) slides upon the shaft (23) to increase the overall combined length of the assembled shaft and lag screw (10). Stops, preferably in the form of abutting shoulders (27,33) of the respective shaft (23) and lag (30) screw member abut when the apparatus (10) is fully extended so that continued threading of the lag (30) into a surgical opening (17,18) in bone (T) causes a compression load across a fracture (14). The small compressing load discourages disassembly of the apparatus (10) when subsidence occurs.

Inventor: PRATA ALFREDO JOSE
IPC: H04N5/33
Filed: 1991-04-09
Abstract: A detection system for use in an aircraft which is able to monitor atmospheric conditions ahead of the aircraft, generate an alarm signal if adverse atmospheric conditions exist ahead of the aircraft and generate information which indicates the position of the adverse conditions so the adverse conditions can be avoided. The system is able to detect the presence of volcanic ash cloud ahead of the aircraft and, if desired, can also be used to detect a high density of sulphur dioxide gas and/or clear air turbulence ahead of the aircraft. The system monitors infrared radiation received by the aircraft, generates intensity signals representative of at least one predetermined wavelength of the radiation and compares intensity signals with reference signals or intensity signals of another infrared wavelength. If the results of the comparison indicate the adverse conditions are present, an adverse condition warning signal is generated and the device is also able to generate video display signals for producing a video display which indicates the position of the adverse conditions relative to the aircraft.

Abstract: Les circuits de régulation PLL des oscillateurs horizontaux doivent posséder une faible vitesse de régulation à l'état enclenché afin qu'il ne se produise pas d'instabilités en raison de la présence de signaux d'entrée brouillés. En raison d'une valeur défavorable du rapport des impulsions synchrones à la durée de la ligne (4,7:64), la vitesse de régulation est nécessairement faible lorsque les différences de phase des signaux d'entrée PLL sont relativement élevés, et lors des changements entre les différents programmes d'un récepteur de télévision par exemple, il s'écoule un délai relativement long (quelques demi-images) avant que la synchronisation des lignes revienne à l'état enclenché. Par une évaluation logique d'une impulsion additionnelle présente dans le récepteur de télévision ou pouvant être facilement produite, le signal de commande pour l'oscillateur commandé par tension peut être commuté, dans le cas de dérives de phase relativement importantes, par exemple sur un courant de commande quadruple. Convient pour les régulations PLL avec des signaux d'entrée ne possèdant pas un taux d'impulsions de 50:50.

Abstract: A knife, especially a deburring knife (10) for plastics components, has a knife blade (11) which projects at the front from a front handle region (11). The front handle region (11) serves for gripping between thumb and finger, in particular tip-gripping between thumb and forefinger. Adjoining the front handle region (11), remote from the knife blade, is a rear handle region (12) for gripping between the ball of the thumb and the remaining fingers, in particular between the ball of the thumb and the little finger. An ergonomically favourable hand design which counteracts fatigue in the user's hand is achieved by the knife handle (18) being designed in two parts, in that the rear handle region (12) consists of a transition handle region (19), adjoining the front handle region (11), and of a separate telescopically connected handle end region (20) which is axially displaceable and adjustably lockable with respect to the transition handle region (19). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the method for partially restoring a sewer (12) buried in the ground, a fibre mat (19) which covers the damaged zone of the sewer (12) on the inside and is impregnated with curable resin is placed around a hose-shaped support (6) of a packer, which support can be deformed by means of pressure. The external diameter of the support (6) is considerably smaller than the diameter of the sewer to be restored. The length of the support is larger than the wound fibre mat. The resin-impregnated fibre mat layer which is located facing the hose-shaped support (6) is fixed on the hose-shaped support by increased frictional engagement. During the increase in the diameter of the fibre mat winding, which is carried out by inflating the hose-shaped support, the hose-shaped support is rotated with the fibre mat winding, and the fibre mat layers are pressed against one another during the enlargement of the diameter of the winding. The resin which is displaced in consequence is then pressed into cracks (10) and into other damaged points in the tubular section of the sewer which is to be restored. A fibre-free resin ring is formed on the ends of the cladding. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method for the manufacturing of a cutting material possessing excellent toughness and a high strength. The composition by weight of the Nickel alloy ingot, is chromium (Cr )14-23%, molybdenum (Mo) 14-20%, tungsten (W) 0.2-5%, iron (Fe) 0.2-7%, cobalt (Co) 0.2-2.5% with the remaining portion being made up of Ni and unavoidable impurities. After undergoing a solution heat treatment process, the Ni ingot undergoes plastic working, at a product ratio above 80%, followed by heating at a temperature of 500-600°C for longer than 30 minutes. Heating the alloy of the aforementioned composition at the above mentioned temperature promotes the precipitation of an intermetallic compound possessing a hardness greater than 57 on the HRC. The resulting superior cutting material is resistant to corrosion even when exposed to sea water. The cutting material obtained through the process of the present invention provides a high resistance to both rust and chipping in addition to a high abrasion resistance, all of which are advantages over the conventional stainless steel cutting material.
