Abstract: The invention proposes a method for the production of nestable parts, at least one part being produced by powder diecasting. To compensate for the shrinkage of the part produced by powder diecasting and, if required, to provide additional play, a separating layer (5) of plastic is applied between the nestable parts. After the casting operation, the separating layer and the binder are eliminated during the binder-elimination and sintering process. The method can also be used in metal-powder extrusion for the production of two-layer metal profiles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An IC card reader that can output data in an audio form. The IC card reader includes a small portable case in which an IC card can be inserted. A microcontroller powered by a battery within the case reads the stored data from the IC card and encodes the read data into a series of voice commands. A voice synthesizer circuit produce a synthetic speech signal from the encoded data. An amplifier within the case is connected to the voice synthesizer circuit for amplifying the synthetic speech signal. A speaker also internal to the case is responsive to the synthetic signal for outputting an audio signal corresponding to the stored data through small holes in the front face the case. A membrane switch within the case can be closed using a push button on the front face of the case to electrically connect the microcontroller to the card. Thus, in use of the IC card reader, when the button is depressed to close the switch, the microcontroller is caused to interrogate the card so that the data stored on the card is read into the microcontroller. The microcomputer produces a synthetic speech signal that is amplified by the amplifier and output by the speaker as synthetic speech which can be heard by the user by holding the card reader with the speaker against the user's ear. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1998-07-10
Abstract: A transmission for use in a power train of a motor vehicle comprises a clutch 20 including a cylinder defining a chamber 23, a piston 22, and a clutch disc. A first energy storing means, eg a spring (29, fig 4a), acts upon a side of the clutch disc, against a variable pressure of a fluid in the chamber, and in a direction to expel fluid from the chamber. Means for supplying fluid at variable pressure to the chamber comprises a source of pressurised fluid, and a pressure reducing valve 40 having a housing. A valving element 41 is movable in the housing between a plurality of positions, and second energy storing means, eg a spring 42, is provided for biasing the valving element to a predetermined position in which the pressure of fluid in the chamber of the cylinder counteracts the bias of the first energy storing means. A control valve 50 determines the position of the valving element, and is arranged to assume a plurality of different conditions including a preselected condition in which the control valve exerts no appreciable influence upon the valving element to permit the valving element to assume the predetermined position under the influence of the second energy storing means.

Title: A valve
Filed: 2006-09-11
Abstract: A valve comprises first and second valve elements 22, 40 operable by a common control element 50. Rotation of the control element 50 causes displacement of the first valve element 22 towards and away from a first valve seat 28 by means of a cam surface on a cam portion 36. Depression of the control element 50 displaces the second valve element 40 towards and away from a second valve seat 46. The control element 50 cooperates with the body 2 of the valve so that it can be depressed only when in the rotational position corresponding to the opening of the first valve element 22. A bladder connected to an outlet spigot 8 can be inflated by a pump attached to an inlet spigot 4 which is provided with a non-return valve 66, when the first valve element 22 is open and the second valve element 40 is closed. Release of air from the bladder can be achieved by rotating the control element 50 to open the valve element 22, and then depressing the control element 50 to open the valve element 40.

Title: Ion implant dose control
IPC: H01J37/304
Filed: 2005-02-16
Abstract: This invention is concerned with the control of implanting ions into a substrate, such as doping semiconductor wafers. The ion beam is measured to ensure wafers are implanted with the correct, uniform ion dose. The incident ion beam comprises ions and neutrals, yet detectors measure only ions. The ions/neutrals ratio varies with the ion implanter's chamber pressure that in turn is known to rise and fall when the ion beam is on and off the wafer respectively, according to a characteristic time constant. This invention provides methods of correcting measured ionic currents to account for neutrals using the time constant. Initially an assumed time constant is used that is later improved by measuring the ionic current after a delay sufficient to allow the chamber pressure to recover to its base value. The time constant may also be improved by removing any quadratic variation in already determined true beam current values.
Patent GB-0801280-D0 (GB)
Title: Air hybrid vehicle
Filed: 2008-01-24
Abstract: An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by an internal combustion engine (16) which may or may not be equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger (10) for boosting the engine (16). In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the engine (16) during deceleration or coasting of the vehicle. The engine (16) absorbs kinetic energy from the vehicle and uses that energy to produce boost air which is transferred and stored in a boost air storage tank (34) on board the vehicle at a storage pressure not exceeding 3 bar absolute pressure. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution when this boost air is used to supply the engine (16) for short periods during acceleration or cruising of the vehicle without relying on any air charger, temporarily fulfilling the role of an air charger without actually driving an air charger by substituting the boost normally supplied by an air charger with an equivalent boost produced and stored during regenerative braking. To accommodate a large boost air storage tank (34), the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes linked together to form one large storage volume.
