Abstract: A suspension for two-rear-axle vehicles which can dislodge a vehicle, even when its driving wheel on one side runs on a different-level place, by lowering the rigidity of a first stabilizer (42) provided on a driving axle (5) of rear axles below that of a second stabilizer (52) provided on a driven axle (6). The rigidity of the first stabilizer (42) provided in an axle case (13) which supports the driving axle (5) rotatably is lowered below that of the second stabilizer (52) provided in an axle case (14) which supports the driven axle (6) rotatably. The rigidity of the stabilizers can be changed, for example, by changing the diameter of a torsion bar (43) supported pivotably on the axle cases (13, 14). Even when a driving wheel on one side mounted on the driving axle (5) runs on a different-level place, the torsional moment of the first stabilizer (42) is too small to lift the other driving wheel off the ground.

Inventor: WIMAN JOERGEN
IPC: B23B27/22
Filed: 1999-06-04
Granted: 2003-04-23
Abstract: A rhombic shaped metal cutting insert is adapted for longitudinal turning and copy turning. Opposing nose corners (NC) of the insert form equal angles less than 60 degrees. A pair of side cutting edges (17,18  19,20) converge toward each of the nose corners (NC). The side cutting edges of each pair form obtuse angles with respective side cutting edges of the other pair. A longest diagonal (D1) extending through the insert intersects both of the nose corners and forms an acute angle relative to a diagonal (D2) which bisects both of the obtuse angles. Each nose corner has a corner cutting edge formed by a plurality of curved segments (38-42). First and second ones (40,42) of those segments are disposed on opposite sides of the longest diagonal and together form an angle of about 90 DEG . Situated between the first and second segments is a third segment (41) which is intersected by the longest diagonal. Adjacently disposed ones of the curved segments at each corner have radii that are different from one another. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de transmission numérique de données à largeur de bande variable, pouvant s'utiliser pour un réseau comportant au moins un serveur (3), un terminal utilisateur (6), ainsi qu'un système de gestion du réseau (TMN) (4). A cet effet, une liaison est d'abord établie entre le terminal utilisateur (6) et le serveur (3) par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne d'usager numérique asymétrique (ADSL). Les données de sélection de largeurs de bande sont ensuite transmises par le terminal utilisateur (6) au système de gestion du réseau associé au serveur (3). Des données de renseignements sont transmises entre le serveur (3) et le terminal utilisateur (6) par l'intermédiaire de la ligne d'usager numérique asymétrique (ADSL) (12) et/ou inversement, avec une largeur de bande correspondant aux données de sélection de largeurs de bande transmises au préalable. Ces données de sélection de largeurs de bande peuvent être transmises notamment par le canal d'exploitation intégré (8) de la ligne d'usager numérique asymétrique (ADSL) (12). Le système de gestion du réseau (4) transmet des données comptables d'après les données de sélection de largeurs de bande, transmises antérieurement, à un dispositif de décompte (5) associé au serveur (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of heat transformation to convert the low-temperature waste heat from cooling circuits of block-type thermal power station (BTPS) reciprocating-piston combustion engines into steam or other heating media of a temperature required for operation by adopting the principle of the high-temperature heat pump according to which the low-temperature heat produced by recooling the engine cooling circuits to their required inflow temperature required by construction is transferred to a liquid working medium, is absorbed by the working media vapors by partial evaporation, and is brought, by compressing and condensing the working medium vapors, to the temperature of the in-plant heating media and is transferred to them. It is an object of the invention to provide a heat transformation process and devices for realizing the process according to the principle of the high-temperature heat pump using mechanical vapor compression by means of which the waste heat not only of the hot exhaust gas, but also the one of a proproportion as large as possible of the low-temperature waste heat from the cooling circuits for the cylinders, the lubricating oil, and the charging air/fuel mix may be used up to a lower temperature limit to be fixed for each project by conversion into the in-plant common heating medium in a technically reliable manner and at an economical relationship between the investment and operating expenditures to the output from the recuperated energy in reciprocating-piston engine BTPS for the heat supply to commercial and industrial enterprises. This is attained by the fact that inventive connections and devices prevent a drop below the ambient pressure in the critical low-temperature range and in all of the operating conditions of the heat transformer and the energy required for vapour compression is reduced to a minimum and, using steam expansion or hot-air prime movers, is gained completely or in part from the exhaust gas content of the BTPS engine (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A device consisting of a combination of a bathtub (1) with a shower tray (3), in which the bathtub (1), when in position B=Bathing, is positioned over shower tray (3) in such a way that its water outlet ends up over the shower tray (3), whilst when in the other possible position S=Showering, it stands upright, i.e. end over end, on one of its ends, thereby freeing access to shower tray (3). Bathtub (1) can easily be manoeuvred from one position to the other by a lifting mechanism and the application of force, preferably generated by an electric motor (13). By completely separating the bathtub from the shower tray and by positioning the bathtub over the shower tray, the edge of the shower tray is on the one hand kept as low as it would be if there were indeed a separate shower tray, whilst on the other hand, the edge of the bathtub is only slightly raised. As a result, both parts are extremely user-friendly, especially for elderly or handicapped persons. The device does not require any more space than a conventional bathtub alone whilst also providing an additional full shower facility in the same space.

Abstract: A gas burner for cooking areas includes a lower part and an upper part. The upper part has gas repulsion ducts with gas outlet openings for gas flames. The upper part is rotatably mounted on the lower part by a compressed-air bearing configured to apply a compressed-air cushion to pneumatically lift the upper part off the lower part for allowing contactless turning of the upper part in relation to the lower part about an axis of rotation. The gas repulsion ducts are formed to drive the upper part in relation to the lower part about the axis of rotation by gas flowing through the gas repulsion ducts at positive pressure. Such a configuration makes it possible to evenly distribute the heat of the flames in the periphery of the burner and to minimize minimum gas burner output by using less flames.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing a functional memory and to a memory arrangement. The memory is implemented as a directory structure comprising a tree-shaped hierarchy having nodes at several different hierarchy levels, wherein an individual node can be (i) a trie node associated with a logical table wherein an individual element may contain a pointer pointing to a lower node in the hierarchy, or (ii) a bucket containing at least one element so that the type of an individual element in the bucket is selected from a group including of e.g. a data unit or a pointer to a stored data unit. To optimize the performance of the functional trie structure, the trie nodes are implemented as quad nodes of four elements, and in at least part of the directory structure groups of successive quad nodes are replaced by compressed nodes in such a way that (a) an individual group comprising a given quad node and its child nodes is replaced by a node whose logical table has 16 elements, and (b) a compressed node known per se is formed from said node of 16 elements by physically storing in the node only non-nil pointers and in addition a bit pattern on the basis of which the physical storage location in the node, corresponding to the search word, can be determined. The invention also relates to a structure in which no buckets are used.
