Abstract: A soldering material (28) is joined to a surface (13a)
of a terminal (13). The terminal (13) is incorporated in a
groove (18) of a connector housing (11) so that a covered wire
(19) is made into contact with the terminal (13). A cover (12)
is mounted so as to insert protrusions (22) into the grooves
(18). By carrying out ultrasonic vibration while applying a
pressure by a ultrasonic horn, a covering portion of the covered
wire is melted and removed. The soldering material (28) is
melted by heat generated when the covering portion is melted
so that the soldering material (28) is made into contact with
the cores thereby the cores and terminal (13) being connected
with each other through the soldering material (28). As a
result, the soldering material (28) makes a firm contact with
the cores.

Abstract: The fabric take-off roller assembly, for a flatbed knitter, is in sections (16) keyed together at the end sides (21,22) by rim gears (38) facing each other. A toothed wheel (15), at a support carrier (17), keys them together. The linkage mounting, for the axially adjacent roller sections (16), is through the teeth of the toothed wheel (15) and/or the rim gears (38) of the roller sections which are curved across the periphery and cambered on a longitudinal section. The toothed wheel unit (15) has two neighboring cogwheels (23,24) keyed together, of the same dia., with the support carrier (17) between them. Their teeth have an identical curvature and camber. The two cogwheels (23,24) have complementary lugs at their axial ends, to lock together, and they are clamped together axially. A radial roller bearing is at the support carrier (17), between the roller sections (16), where the inner race of the bearing is clamped between the two cogwheels (23,24), and the outer race is keyed to the support carrier (17). The support carrier (17) swings on a rigid longitudinal axis (18) along the length of the take-off roller assembly (11), parallel to it, which has mountings at intervals for the support carriers (17). The mountings are recesses for locking disks (34). The support carriers (17) are flat units which are inserted into the whole gap between adjacent roller sections (16). The end of the support carrier (17) has a deflecting projection (67), away from the axis mounting (18), and a lateral covering web member (68) at its outer edge between the mounting and the facing counter roller. Each support carrier (17) has an individual and adjustable sleeve with a scale as a tensioner, to apply a force in the swing direction, and has a cam (61) to take the pressure. The end of the support carrier (17), over the roller section (16), has a projection (66) to limit the swing movement.

Abstract: Pressurized fuel of a common rail (3) is introduced into a control
chamber (121) of a fuel injector (1). An electromagnetic valve (1a) opens or
closes a fuel discharge passage (205) of the control chamber (121) to adjust a
hydraulic pressure of the control chamber (121). Through a switching leak
passage (2a), bubble-containing fuel directly returns from a valve opening
(124) of the electromagnetic valve (1a) to a low-pressure return passage (212,
213) without passing through an armature chamber (132). Through a stationary
leak passage (2b), the fuel leaking from every slide portion returns to the return
passage (212, 213) via the armature chamber (132). A downstream portion
(2b1) of the stationary leak passage (2b) opens to the upper portion (132a) of
the armature chamber (132). A damper element (502a) is provided downstream
of the electromagnetic valve (1a) in the return passage for canceling an
increased fuel pressure.

Abstract: A crush control system for controlling the crush of spaced vehicle side
composite structural rails 22a, 24a in the event of either a full frontal impact or an
offset frontal impact includes a crush controller 32a for each side rail. An actuator 60
is provided to move crush initiators 48 between an inoperative position, which will
cause an uncontrolled crush of the rail, and a deployed operative position, which will
cause a controlled crush of the rail at half the crush force as an uncontrolled crush. In
one embodiment each crush controller is normally inoperative and is controlled by a
sensor 72 for each located on the opposite side of the vehicle to become operative
when the sensor 72 is impacted. The crush initiators 48 may take the form of a
radiused wedge 42 or a knife cutter 106, and the actuator 60 maintains the crush
initiators 48 in deployed position to sustain the controlled crush. In another
embodiment sensors 72 on both sides control each crush controller 32a which is
normally operative, with a circuit logic to cause a crush controller 32a to become
inoperative in an offset frontal impact on the same side of the vehicle, while
maintaining a crush controller 32a operative in the event of a full frontal impact.

Abstract: A model of consumer behaviour in a transaction
environment such as customers moving around a bank branch, is
generated from an artificial life algorithm to create a number
of agents. In each agent, a genetically encoded drive,
equivalent for example to hunger, is defined so as to
correspond to a transaction need such as the need for cash.
Interaction rules, such as navigation rules, are set for
interaction between the agents and a first representation of
an environment, and the program is run and the agents
observed, then compared with real human behaviour. The best
matched agents are selected and the program run again, the
steps being repeated until a required level of comparison with
real behaviour is reached. 
     The model can then be used with different transaction
environments to study customer behaviour and to select the
best branch layout or the like.

Abstract: In an outboard marine drive (1), the engine (7) is received in an under case (11), and
is closed by both a fan cover and an engine cover (12) so that the engine (7) may be
entirely covered by the engine cover (12) jointly with the under case (11) for a favorable
aesthetic effect. However, the fan cover (12) covers the engine closely in cooperation
with the under case (11) so that a narrow air passage is defined around the engine (7), and
cooling air of high velocity can be continuously passed around the engine (7). Thus,
according to the present invention, no part of the engine (7) is exposed, but the fan
cover (12) surrounding the engine (7) defines an appropriate gap around the engine (7) for
effectively guiding cooling air around the engine (7).

Abstract: A telephone communications switching system incorporating echo cancellers that may
be replaced by other echo cancellers, and a method for replacing such echo cancellers are
disclosed. The system comprises a control module for receiving and switching call data; and
active and redundant echo cancellers. Under normal operation, an active echo canceller cancels
echo in a call. A processor on the control module monitors the system and in the response to
a sensed trigger event activates the redundant echo canceller and switches call data at the input
of the active echo canceller to inputs of both the active and redundant echo cancellers. The
processor then waits a determined amount of time; and thereafter disconnects the output of the
active echo canceller from the control module and connects the output of the redundant echo
canceller to the control module. By waiting, the processor allows the redundant echo canceller
to become ready to cancel echo, before connecting the output of the redundant canceller to the
control module. This may reduce the amount of time echo cancelling is not available for the
call.

Abstract: A selectively actuatable lighter device (10) is disclosed
which includes a body defining reservoir (12) for containing a
combustible gaseous medium such as butane, and having a valve
(20) arranged to be selectively actuated between a normally
closed position and an open position which permits the exit of
the gaseous medium. Such lighter (10) can selectively produce
sparks at a location (19, 22) proximate to the gaseous medium
exit to ignite the gaseous medium. Such lighter device (10)
embodies a resiliently releasable valve actuator (14) which
normally prevents actuation of the valve (22). The valve
actuator (14) includes an interfering portion (14A) which is
selectively movable to a position out of interference with an
interfering portion (12B) of the lighter body, so that the
gaseous medium may be released and ignited by the sparks. Once
the valve actuator (14) is depressed and released, it returns to
its closed or latched position to prevent actuation of the valve
to the open position. To "re-use" the lighter, the valve
actuator (14) must again be moved to an unlatched position so
that the valve (22) can be actuated for subsequent ignition of
the gaseous medium.
