Title: A fuel injection nozzle for combustion engines
IPC: F02M61/06
Filed: 1982-03-24
Abstract: The injection nozzle has valve needle (20) opened by fuel pressure against the direction of flow of the fuel and provided with sealing cone (22) and throttle needle (24) which projects into injection outlet (16) and bounds narrowest throttle cross- section (28) at the outlet region on its combustion chamber side. This is widened upstream towards sealing cone (22) so that throttle needle (24) has conical transition section (30), the narrowest cross-section (d) is located near to sealing cone (22). Due to this arrangement, the reduction in pressure of the fuel along the throttle gap is reduced and the fuel is introduced into the narrowest throttle cross-section (28) without any deviation losses to speak of. <IMAGE>

Title: Rear axle for a vehicle particularly a motor vehicle
Inventor: KALTWASSER HELMUT
IPC: B60G21/05
Filed: 1983-08-05
Abstract: A rear axle for a vehicle, specifically a non-driven rear axle of a motor vehicle, is formed from two flexurally and torsionally rigid longitudinal guide arms 21, 22, on which the wheels 15 are rotatably mounted, and a flexurally rigid but torsionally resilient transverse beam 14 which interconnects the longitudinal guide arms and is connected to the respective longitudinal guide arms in an angularly rigid manner by welding. The transverse beam has an open cross-section which has its plane of symmetry disposed horizontally. In its central region between the longitudinal guide arms the transverse beam has a V-shaped cross-section, whereas in the region of its connections to the respective longitudinal guide arms the transverse beam has a U-shaped cross- section. The two cross-sectional shapes merge into each other gradually. The beam is thereby relatively free from deformation under torsional forces whilst its U-shaped ends are more adapted for connections to the guide arms. <IMAGE>

Title: Insulated-gate field-effect transistors and their manufacture
Inventor: COE DAVID JAMES
IPC: H01L29/78

Abstract: An insulated-gate field-effect transistor, for example of the vertical D-MOS type, is manufactured to have a low gate threshold voltage and a short channel (33) but a high source-drain punch-through voltage, as a result of providing an additional dopant concentration (20) in the part of the opposite conductivity type channel region (2) adjacent the source region (1). This additional dopant concentration (20) partially compensates the higher dopant concentration in this part of the channel region which would otherwise result in a higher threshold voltage. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for regenerating a diesel engine exhaust filter
Inventor: WADE WALLACE ROBERT
IPC: F01N3/32
Filed: 1984-02-02
Abstract: A diesel engine exhaust filter has an upstream pressure monitor whose output is compared with the pressure which a clean filter would exhibit at similar engine speeds, and when the difference between the two pressures exceeds a given value a filter-cleaning cycle is automatically started. This cycle involves a) bypassing the exhaust gas round the filter 10 by opening valve 18, b) supplying hot combustion- supporting gas to the filter to ignite the accumulated carbon therein, c) monitoring the temperature of gas downstream of the filter and shutting off the hot gas when this temperature exceeds a given level. The hot gas may be air or exhaust gas, heated by an electric heater or by adding fuel through nozzle 33 and igniting, either by a glow plug 36 or catalyst. <IMAGE>

Title: A chemico-physical process for the industrial peeling of carob seed
Inventor: CONTI ROLANDO
IPC: B02B3/00
Filed: 1984-03-09
Abstract: The seed is heated to a medium temperature not higher than 75 DEG C, sulphuric acid is poured slowly into it until it reaches about 95 DEG C; it is discharged immediately and cooled to ordinary temperature; it is allowed to rest for 20-60 hours, it is introduced into a mixer with agitator and it is agitated with the addition of alkaline solution e.g. hydrated lime so that the rubbing between seed and seed causes the separation of the peel. If necessary, the alkaline treatment is repeated, with addition of oxygenised water, prior to removal of the peel by sifting. The resulting endosperm is dried and subjected to degerminization and milling. There is obtained a greater yield compared with known processes, a very pure product with superior viscosity, less peeling cost, no problem of polluting discharges or excessive bacterial changes.
