Abstract: Means of recycling exhaust gases from a car engine (1) and recovering heat from them. During cold starting the exhaust gas passes through a heat exchanger to warm it before entering the catalyst. During normal operation some of the gas bypasses the exchanger and some is recycled. At full load (motorway driving), the gas is cooled in the exchanger to extend catalyst life A heat exchanger (7) and restriction (8) is between the engine and the catalyst (2), with some or all of the exhaust gas bypassing them. A recycling line (11) connects to the exchanger and restriction at one end to an air inlet (4) at the other, and the proportion of exhaust gases recycled is controlled ( means of restriction (8) are fixed, or comprise a valve with controllable opening. A controller closes the restriction in normal operation and opens it at full load. This controller closes the recycling line and directs the gas through the heat exchanger during cold starting. A preset proportion of gas is recycled during normal operation. The recycling line is closed and the gas passes through the exchanger at full load.

Abstract: In a film unit (1), a charge operation member is held on a from side of
a guide member to be slidable between an ON position to turn on a flash
charge switch of a built-in flash device (16) and an OFF position to turn off the flash
charge switch. The guide member is mounted stationarily to a front side of a
flash circuit board of the flash device. Joints between front and rear cover of
the film unit are set away from those circuit portions of the flash device where
high voltage current flows. The flash charge switch (35) is constituted of a metal
contact blade and contact chips provided on the flash circuit board. The metal
contact blade is bent roundly at a base portion of a pair of resilient arms. The
charge operation member keeps on pressing the arms onto the contact chips

charge switch is on, and automatically stops charging when the charge voltage
goes above a predetermined voltage. A light emitting diode indicates the
completion of charging.

Abstract: An on-machine-seamable multi-axial press fabric
for the press section of a paper machine is made from
a base fabric layer assembled by spirally winding a
fabric strip in a plurality of contiguous turns, each
of which abuts against and is attached to those
adjacent thereto. The resulting endless base fabric
layer is flattened to produce first and second fabric
plies joined to one another at folds at their
widthwise edges. Crosswise yarns are removed from
each turn of the fabric strip at the folds at the
widthwise edges to produce unbound sections of
lengthwise yarns. An on-machine-seamable base fabric,
having seaming loops along its widthwise edges, is
disposed between the first and second fabric plies of
the flattened base fabric layer. The seaming loops
extend outwardly between the unbound sections of the
lengthwise yarns from between the first and second
fabric plies. The first fabric ply, the on-machine-seamable
base fabric and the second fabric ply are
laminated to one another by needling staple fiber batt
material therethrough. The press fabric is joined
into endless form during installation on a paper
machine by directing a pintle through the passage
formed by the interdigitation of the seaming loops at
its two widthwise edges.

Abstract: Electrical switching apparatus (1) such as a power circuit breaker, network protector or switch has a self-supporting operating mechanism module (17) including a cage (95) formed by a pair of side plates (97) rigidly clamped in spaced relation by spacers (99). The cage (95) supports all of the operating mechanism components (18,107,109,113) including a helical compression close spring (18) mounted fully between the side plates (97) and coupled to a cam member (171) through a rocker (155) in a manner which maintains the forces longitudinal to the spring (18). The cam member (171) has a charging cam (173) with a charge profile (189a) for compressing the close spring (18) and a close profile (189b) through which the spring (18) drives the cam member (171) to effect a controlled release of stored energy to close the contacts of the apparatus. A close prop (223), spring biased to an unlatched position, is latched to secure the close spring (18) in the charged state by a latch assembly (225) reset by a reset lever (247) separate from the close prop (223) which in turn is reset by rotation of the cam member (171) during charging. An interlock (265) prevents release of the close spring (18) when the contacts (43) are closed or the trip release is actuated. An indicator (27) actuated by a driver (345) pivoted against the cam shaft (115) snaps from a DISCHARGED to a CHARGED indication as the close spring (18) becomes fully charged and the driver (345) drops into a notch (343) created by a flat on the cam shaft (115). Rotating shafts (213, 239) are journalled solely in confronting apertures in the side plates (97). The can shaft (115) is captured between bushings (117) seated in non-circular openings (119) in the side plates (97) thereby eliminating the need for any fasteners. Likewise, other parts (165) mounted between the side plates (97) and joined by pins (167) having enlarged heads (169) retained by the side plates (97) do not need retainers. Various shafts (451) extending between the side plates (97) have reduced diameter ends (457) of progressive lengths for successive insertion in one side plate (97<sub>2</sub>) to aid in assembly of the operating mechanism (17).
