vehicle, in particular, for a lowerable side window pane and a fixed triangular
window pane in a rear door of a passenger car, comprises a profile element,
arranged between the movable window pane and the abutting window pane,

constructed in such a way, that the movable window pane (1a) rests on a
sealing surface (6b) of the sealing profile (6) from the outside and with the
edge area of its interior surface (1c) and possibly its lateral face (1d) sealed to
the sealing surface (6b), and that the fixed window pane (1b) is attached on the
exterior side of the profile element (4).

Abstract: A reformer (3) supplies a reformate gas to a fuel cell stack (4). The
reformer (3) generates a reformate gas by reforming gaseous fuel vaporized by a
vaporizer (2). When current supply from the fuel cell stack (4) to the electric
motor (21) undergoes a sharp decrease, unnecessary consumption of gaseous
fuel is prevented by closing a first valve (11) which supplies gaseous fuel from
the vaporizer (2) to the reformer (3) and by opening a second valve (13) which
returns gaseous fuel in the vaporizer (2) to the fuel tank (6).

Abstract: A valve, particularly a thermostatic valve for heating systems, with a housing (111), a valve seat (116) and a closing piece (118) that is operated by means of a pin (119) penetrating a sealing arrangement (123). Further, there is a connecting arrangement having a first shape suited for the fixing of an operating element. The connecting arrangement has at least one connecting element (125, 131, 136) that is adjustable in relation to the housing (111) in the direction of the pin axis, thus assuming on adjustment of this connecting element a second shape suited for fixing a second type of operating element.

Abstract: An oil system is provided for use with a rotating machine, for example an aircraft generator
and associated transmission. The oil system allows the generator to be run without
lubrication for a short period of time. Such a situation is likely to occur when the aircraft is
inverted or experiences zero G conditions. 
     The oil system includes an oil reservoir 100 that supplies oil to a first pump 4 for supplying
oil for lubricating and/or cooling the generator and for lubricating a variable transmission
associated with the generator. The oil reservoir also supplies oil to a second pump 6 that
provides oil for operating hydraulic actuators 110, 112 for controlling the operation of the
variable transmission. A return path is provided for the oil to the reservoir. The oil system
further includes an oil fill inlet such that a single filling operation through the oil fill inlet
causes oil to flow through the return path towards the reservoir causing air to be purged
through the return path.

Abstract: A vehicle behavior control apparatus is divided into three
major parts, sensors (31-38) for detecting engine and vehicle operating
conditions, a target yaw rate establishing section (70) for
establishing the rate and differential limiting apparatuses (50,60) for
selectively varying distribution ratios of driving force between
front and rear wheels and/or between left and right wheels. The
target yaw rate establishing section (70) calculates a target yaw rate
based on a vehicle mass, a mass distribution ratio between front
and rear axles, front and rear axle mass, distances between front
and rear axles and a center of gravity, a steering angle of a
front wheel, and front and rear wheels equivalent cornering powers.
A steady state yaw rate gain is separately calculated for left
and right steering, respectively. A reference yaw rate is
calculated by correcting a time constant of lag of yaw rate with
respect to steering based on estimated road friction coefficient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image display apparatus for forming an image with a plurality of luminescent spots to be precisely aligned in a matrix. For example, a spacer disposed between an electron source and a face plate causes luminescent spots on the face plate spaced unevenly. The luminescent spots spaced unevenly will produce a visual unevenness in luminance which deteriorates the quality of produced image. By modifying the quantity of light of luminescent spots spaced unevenly, the visual unevenness in luminance is compensated.

Title: 4-Point contact ball bearing
Inventor: SHIROKOSHI NORIO
IPC: F16C33/64
Filed: 2002-09-24
Abstract: A 4-point contact ball bearing includes four ring-shaped
contact surfaces (6-9) for forming a ring-shaped raceway between them.
Each ring-shaped contact surface has a sectional profile defined
by a concave curve when cut along a plane including a central axis
of rotation of each ball and a central axis of rotation of the ring-shaped
raceway. The concave curve is shaped so that it
circumscribes the balls and that a radius of curvature thereof is
largest at a ball-contact point and is gradually decreased moving
away from the ball-contact point. By defining such raceway
surfaces, fluctuations in the contact points between the balls and
the raceway surfaces due to machining errors can be suppressed,
rotational slipping of the balls can be reduced, and differential slip
between the balls and the raceway surfaces can also be reduced.
