Patent EP-0529138-A1 (EP)
Title: Control method for the propulsion unit of a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission
Inventor: KAMMERL AUGUST DIPL-ING FH
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1991-08-30
Abstract: The control method has an engine control, by means of which a variable influencing the engine torque is controlled, and a transmission control 2, by means of which the transmission gear shift sequences are controlled and an intervention signal is transmitted to the engine control 3, by means of which signal gear shifting is initiated. In a first device 8, 17, 18 the current transmission input torque Mein is determined. In a memory 13 the maximum torque values Mmax admissible during a gear shift sequence are stored as a function of the engine speed and the shift mode. In a second device 32, 34, 36 the current transmission input torque is compared with the current maximum admissible torque value and an amount Mred,ges calculated by which the engine torque has to be adjusted during the gear shift sequence. In a pulse-shaping circuit 31, 34 this amount is converted into a pulse-modulated signal and transmitted to the engine control 3 as control signal, by means of which the variation of the engine torque is controlled during the gear shift sequence. <IMAGE>

IPC: B28B3/26
Filed: 1991-11-27
Abstract: In the case of a mouthpiece (1) for moulding a ceramic mass (T) fed to it, which mouthpiece can be fitted to a diehead (7) of an extruder, to regulate the flow rate of the ceramic mass (T) in the area of the mouthpiece (1) use is made of adjusting elements (11) which are arranged, preferably all around, displaceably in parallel with the longitudinal axis (A) of the mouthpiece (1) in the frame (2) of the latter on one or more of the side walls (3, 4) bounding the mouthpiece opening (10) and can be introduced into the diehead (7). By this design it is possible to make the flow rate of the ceramic mass (T) more uniform in the area of the mouthpiece (1), so that unequal compressions of the clay strand, which can result in stress cracks during drying and/or firing of a moulding separated from the said strand, can be reliably avoided. In addition, the regulating of the flow rate can be performed without the mouthpiece (1) having to be removed from the diehead (7) for this purpose. Rather, the adjusting elements (11) can be actuated from outside during operation without any problems. <IMAGE>

IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1991-11-12
Abstract: A circuit (30) is proposed for providing wait states using address bits not used in the device address decode. The various addressed memory and peripheral devices do not utilize the entire address space and so some address bits are not utilized. A number of the unused bits are decoded (40,42) to determine the number of wait states to be developed in the operation. The address decode based wait state determination is overridden (46) for RAM operations, but followed for ROM and peripheral operations.

Abstract: Le procédé décrit, qui sert à obtenir la décomposition de composés organiques contaminants halogénés et non halogénés contenus dans un milieu contaminé, consiste à ajouter au milieu contaminé un carbonate, un bicarbonate ou un hydroxyde de métal alcalin ou alcalino-terreux en solution aqueuse ou en solvant ayant un point d'ébullition d'au moins 200 °C, ou sous la forme d'une suspension ou d'une dispersion solide. Le milieu contient un composé donneur d'hydrogène, lequel peut être initialement contenu dans le milieu ou lui être ajouté. Le milieu contient en outre une source catalytique de carbone, par exemple un hydrate de carbone, qui va entraîner la formation d'un ion d'hydrogène à radical libre à partir du composé donneur d'hydrogène. On chauffe le milieu pour le déshydrater, puis on le chauffe encore à une température comprise entre environ 200 et 400 °C, pour entraîner la formation du ion d'hydrogène à radical libre et pour obtenir la décomposition réductrice des composés organiques contaminants halogénés et non-halogénés. On ajoute ensuite un acide au milieu en quantité suffisante pour neutraliser celui-ci.
