Patent EP-0239524-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAY ERIC
IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 1987-03-25
Abstract: A stepper motor (40) is used to position the pump rack (32A) via a preloaded compliant linkage (52,54,56) in a fuel injection pump, thereby exercising control over the end of injection event in response to various engine operating parameters. One part (52) of the compliant linkage (52,54,56) is engaged with the output shaft (46) of the stepper motor (40). A stop (96) is provided at the zero throttle position of the engaged part (52) of the linkage (52,54,56), at the extreme distal end of its positional range. 
     A position sensor (l00) is located at a predetermined reference position away from the stop (96) to provide a signal indicative of the engaged part (52) being at that position. When the stepper motor (40) is advanced to move the engaged part (52) away from the stop (96), the pulse count to the stepper motor is rereferenced when the reference position is reached.

Abstract: In a refrigeration system having a compressor (14) driven by a variable speed motor (21), the refrigerant flow volume through the expansion device (25) is controlled by way of a solenoid driven piston (36) which alternately opens and closes the orifice (32), with the duty cycle of the solenoid (42) being controlled such that the time period in which the orifice (32) is open is proportional to the speed of the motor (21). A bypass channel (31) is provided in parallel around the orifice (32) such that a minimal flow is provided to thereby share the load with the modulating orifice (32) and act to dampen the movement of the solenoid piston (36).

Abstract: Two bar code sensors (8, 9) are disposed at opposite sides of a passage of a photographic film (2), each bar code sensor having first and second photosensor arrays. The first and second photosensor arrays are disposed so as to be located at the passages of the clock track and the data track, respectively, along the line perpendicular to the transportation direction of the photographic film. The DX bar code data (5) and frame number bar code (4) data are automatically discriminated based on the bar code data configuration read out with the bar code sensor units (8, 9). The setting conditions of the photographic film is detected based also on the bar code data configuration. In case of an abnormal state of the setting conditions, an alarm display is carried out. The bar code data is written in a memory when they change or in synchro with reading the clock track of the DX bar code. The number of a frame set at the film mask is calculated by measuring the feed amount of the read-out frame number bar code.

Abstract: A discrete device (10) in which a capacitive and inductive function has been integrated comprises at least two insulated amorphous ribbons (12,14) which are spirally wound to form a cylindrical toroid. Each of the amorphous metal ribbons is insulated from each other ribbon by a dielectric layer (16,18) and wound in a stacked configuration to provide the capacitive function. One or more conductive windings (34,36) are then wrapped around segments of the cylindrical toroid to provide inductive and/or transforming functions as desired. A magnetic circuit is formed through the windings by the amorphous metal ribbons. The dielectric insulating layer (16,18) between the ribbons is offset from the longitudinal edge of the ribbon so that the longitudinal edge of each ribbon is exposed. One ribbon has its longitudinal edge exposed on one side of the toroid while another ribbon has its longitudinal edge exposed on the opposing side of the toroid. Electrical contacts (32,30) are then laid across an intersecting line contacting the exposed edge of each ribbon at a plurality of points. As a result, the electrical series resistance of each ribbon within the device is minimised thereby rendering a device practical for use within a power circuit.
