Abstract: In a multi-gap type spark plug for an internal combustion engine, the plug has a cylindrical metallic shell into which a tubular ceramic insulator is enclosed. The insulator has a tapered front leg portion, a front end of which somewhat extends beyond that of the metallic shell. A centre electrode is enclosed into the insulator, a front end of the centre electrode extending beyond that of the insulator to work as a firing tip A plurality of L-shaped outer electrodes each having a vertical piece and lateral piece, the vertical piece depending from the front end of the metallic shell to surround the front end of the insulator, while the lateral piece having an inner surface arranged in parallel with a front end surface of the insulator and having an end tip terminated to oppose to an outer surface of the firing tip through a spark gap established therebetween. A vertical distance between the front end surface of the insulator and the inner surface of the lateral piece of each outer electrode is determined to be within a dimension ranging from 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm.

Abstract: A processing method is presented for treating sludges from municipal and waste materials. The ashes from such sludges, containing SiO₂ as a primary constituent, are treated with additives to tailor the feed material composition. Thermal processing, including melting, rapid cooling and subsequent annealing, produces a crystallized glass microstructure in which needle-shaped crystals of anorthite and β-wollastnite are infiltrated with a vitreous material. Such crystallized glasses having superior mechanical and aesthetic properties are an attractive architectural material which can be utilized for interior finishing, exterior walls, flooring as well as for interior decorations.

Title: Method for structural attachment of polycarbonate plastic sheet to supporting strength members and assembly utilizing same.
Inventor: LOOKER ROBERT
IPC: B65D90/02
Filed: 1991-05-21
Abstract: In order to be able to utilize polycarbonate sheet material (12) as a structural (i.e. stress-bearing) component in an assembly comprising polycarbonate (12) and metal (10) components, as, for example, in a monocoque air cargo container wherein the polycarbonate sheet material (12) is used as the ''skin'' of structure, an attachment assembly is utilized to provide a rigid, stress-bearing joint without inducing crack-inducing high levels of localized stress on the polycarbonate sheet (12). The attachment assembly (14) comprises a significant area of overlap between the polycarbonate (12) and metal (10) components, and an attachment strip (14) which substantially covers the attachment area. Rivets or bolts (16) are inserted through oversized holes in the metal (10), polycarbonate (12), attachment strip assembly (14) and then torqued. The compressive forces exerted thereby create the rigid joint (even in an environment where the joint is subject to 180 F+/- temperature cycling such that the different coefficients for thermal expansion for the polycarbonate vs. the metal become significant) but are spread over a sufficiently large area so as to avoid high, localized stress levels which would induce the polycarbonate to crack.

Abstract: An error correcting code and apparatus is used in conjunction with a main memory in which a data word is stored in a plurality of circuits each of which produces multiple outputs. A minimum number of check bits are stored together with the data word for detecting and correcting single bit errors and detecting the existence of multi-bit errors. A parity bit for the entire data word is also stored. For a 32-bit data word, at least 3 bits of the data word are stored in each of 10 memory circuits. Seven check bits and one parity bit are also stored in the 10 memory circuits wherein no more than one of the check bits or data bit is stored in any one memory circuit. Upon reading the data word from the memory a set of verify check bits and a verify parity bit are generated and compared to the stored check bits and stored parity bit to produce a check bit syndrome and a parity bit syndrome. The check bit syndrome is decoded to produce an output that is input to an error generator circuit together with a parity syndrome for producing error signals indicating occurrence of a single bit error, a multi-bit error, a triple bit error, or a check bit error.
