Title: Coupling for two metal pipes
Inventor: TAKAHASHI YOICHI
IPC: F16L13/14
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: For coupling first and second metal pipes, a coupling structure is provided which comprises a first diametrically enlarged end portion of the first metal pipe and a second diametrically enlarged end portion of the second metal pipe. The second enlarged end portion is mated with the first enlarged end portion so that the first and second metal pipes are aligned. A collar member of metal is concentrically disposed within the mated first and second enlarged end portions. The collar member is formed, around an axially middle portion thereof, with an annular ridge which entirely and intimately contacts with inner surfaces of the mated first and second enlarged end portions. A fastening ring of metal is concentrically disposed about the mated first and second enlarged end portions. The fastening ring is so shaped as to have a concave inner surface which intimately and entirely contacts with rounded outer surfaces of the mated first and second enlarged end portions.

IPC: C08G18/62
Filed: 1997-07-11
Abstract: Disclosed are a pressure-sensitive adhesive
composition comprising a reactive mixture of a relatively low
molecular weight acrylic prepolymer containing highly reactive
hydroxyl groups in the molecule thereof which is obtained by
copolymerizing two alkyl acrylate monomers satisfying a
specific relationship and, as a chain extender, a
polyfunctional isocyanate mainly exhibiting bifunctionality; a
pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising the above
reactive mixture and a relatively high molecular weight polymer
component; and pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets having a
pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprising those pressure-sensitive
adhesive compositions. Because the molecular chain
of the acrylic prepolymer is extended efficiently, the amount
of an organic solvent required for viscosity adjustment can be
decreased.

IPC: G01M15/04

Abstract: A device for determining deterioration of a catalyst
having an O 2  storage capability and disposed in an
exhaust passage of an engine comprises: upstream and
downstream air-fuel ratio sensors disposed in the exhaust
passage upstream and downstream of the catalyst
respectively for detecting air-fuel ratios of exhaust gas
upstream and downstream of the catalyst. The air-fuel
ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the catalyst is
controlled on the basis of the output of the upstream
air-fuel ratio sensor to make the air-fuel ratio flowing
into the catalyst a target air-fuel ratio. A ratio of
the length of the response curve of the output of the
downstream air-fuel ratio sensor to the length of the
response curve of the output of the upstream air-fuel
ratio sensor is calculated. A ratio of the frequency of
the output of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor to the
frequency of the output of the upstream air-fuel ratio
sensor is calculated. It is determined that the catalyst
has deteriorated when the length ratio is greater than a
first predetermined ratio, or when the length ratio is
greater than a second predetermined ratio which is
smaller than the first predetermined ratio and the
frequency ratio is greater than a third predetermined
ratio.

Inventor: SCHAEFER WOLFGANG
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 1997-09-09
Abstract: A DAB stream starts with a so-called null symbol for the receiver synchronization
carrying a transmitter identification information, i.e TII, signal. Each
transmitter in the single frequency network is assigned a main id and a sub id
for unique identification. This identification is mapped to a certain pattern
with 16/8/4/2 set carrier pairs in the spectrum of the null symbol according
to the DAB modes I-IV. Based on mode II which has 384 valid carriers a so
called comb block is defined. For modes I and IV this block is repeated 4 and 2
times, respectively. For mode III only a half block is available. This pattern is
transmitted every 2nd DAB frame in the null symbol. 
     To detect the set carriers the steps of differential demodulation of TII pairs included
in the spectrum (S 1 (ω)) of every second null symbol of the incoming
DAB stream (S1, S2, S3) to respectively obtain a demodulated null symbol,
correction of carrier phases of the demodulated null symbol spectrum (S4), determination
of a threshold (S7), and decision if a carrier is set or not by comparing
the carrier level to the determined threshold (S6) are performed.

Abstract: The branches of the channels for feeding the cleaning
fluids, formed in the dispensing bar (1), continue to fork
(B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11, B12, B13,
B14, B15), optionally finally splitting into three-way
branches (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8), until each
dispensing hole (10) is fed by its own channel, so that the
flow of fluids is distributed essentially in equal amounts
and at the same pressure between the various dispensing
holes (10) in the bar. The cleaning liquids are fed by
respective reciprocating positive displacement pumps (63,
163) which are activated by pneumatic actuators (65, 165)
having a piston which is suitably larger than the piston
(64, 164) of the said pumps and being activated by the
stream of air produced by the same source and at the same
pressure as that conveyed to the dispensing bar, mixed
together with the liquids dispensed by the pumps, in order
to convey and atomize the said liquids. This ensures that
the delivery pressure of the cleaning liquids is always
correlated to and greater than the pressure of the stream of
air, even when the latter is subject to variations in pressure.

IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver for high-speed
numerical transmissions through Rayleigh channels noisy
and dispersive in time and frequency in which an accurate
estimate of the channel response is combined in an optimal
manner with the received data sequence detection
procedure. Specifically the a posteriori probability of
the Markov chain of the states of the channel with
intersymbolic interference are calculated recursively from
the data received and from the updated channel estimate. 
     The a posteriori probabilities calculated are used in turn
by a Kalman estimator to record the channel variations. On
the basis of the sequence of the calculated a posteriori
probabilities the detection is then calculated symbol by
symbol with the highest a posteriori probability having a
small decision delay.
