Abstract: A gas injection system provides an injecting device (10) mounted in a two stoke engine (20) and facing a combustion chamber (23) in a engine head (24). The injection system, which comprises a reservoir (1) for storing the gas, feeds (2,3,4) the injecting device (10) and is connected (5) to an electronic control unit (6). The injecting device has an electrovalve (11) for distributing the gas and a wall (13) that faces the combustion chamber (24). A chamber (12) is provided that is arranged between the electrovalve (11) and the wall (13). The wall (13) can be opened automatically for causing the gas to enter the combustion chamber (24). In particular, at the wall (13) an automatic valve of passive type, for example a lamina, a plate, a mushroom is provided biased by a spring and that remains pressed against apertures made on the wall (13). The electrovalve (11) is supplied by pressurized gas and can be opened by the electric control means (5, 6). At opening the electrovalve (11) the pressurized gas enters the chamber and causes instantly the automatic opening of wall (13) and the subsequent inlet of the gas in the combustion chamber. In the system according to the invention, in other words, the high specific volume and the pressure is exploited of the fuel injected in the chamber (12) as motive force for entering the combustion chamber (23), allowing the gas to cross the wall (13). The system uses an injecting device that is extremely easy, not expensive and that does not require other auxiliary devices. Furthermore, it can be installed both on new engines and as retrofit on existing engines.

Abstract: An uplink resource allocation method is provided for transmitting a control packet on a channel different from a currently connected channel in a wireless communication system for supporting a packet based real-time service. A new format of a grant management subheader is proposed in which a piggyback request conventionally used only for the same connection can be used also for a different connection. A resource allocation request for the different connection can be made using the newly proposed grant management subheader. When the resource allocation request for a new connection is made using the grant management subheader, a resource allocation time can be reduced and loss of resources allocated for an existing connection can be minimized.

Abstract: A pair of intake collectors (1A, 1B) separated by a partition (4A) aspirates air into each cylinder of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine via branch pipes (3A-3F). A valve (8A, 8B) which shuts off the air flow between the intake collectors (1A, 1B) is fitted onto the partition (4A) via a valve frame (11) and a bearing boss (16A) provided on the valve frame (11). An edge of the partition (4A) is fitted into a groove (18) formed on the outer circumference of the valve frame (11) so as to prevent air from leaking through an engaging part between the partition (4A) and the valve frame (11) due to a Labyrinth effect. Further, an elastically connecting member (20) disposed on both sides of the bearing boss (16A) elastically connects the valve frame (11) and the groove (18), thereby preventing relative oscillation between the partition (4A) and the valve frame (11).

Abstract: A separation chamber(2) has a channel between upper(4) and lower(5) collecting heads. The height difference causes a lighter particle fraction to float to the upper head and a heavier particle fraction to sink to the lower head. A feed inlet for a channel(10) introducing the suspension of particles and separating fluid is transverse to longitudinal axis of the separating chamber channel. A discharge unit delivers a fraction flow while maintaining a constant flow rate of the heavy fraction in the separating chamber channel. Several separation chamber channels may be created by a number of vertically spaced parallel walls. The channels are inclined at 10-80[deg], preferably 35-45[deg], to the horizontal and the channel walls may be vibrated. The discharge unit forms part of equipment for setting a differential speed between the flows of the floating and sinking particles. Flow rate difference can be controled so that particles denser than the fluid reach the lower collecting head(5) and solids with a density of not >5%, preferably not >3% and more preferably 1% less than the fluid density reach the upper collecting head(4). A mixer for particles and separating fluid is located at the level of a discharge outlet of the upper head. Equipment for setting a differential flow rate comprises a pump for feeding separating fluid into the mixer, a pump for discharging a heavy fraction at the lower head and a control unit for both pumps. Differential flow rate is 0-1.5 or 0-0.9cm/second. An additional feed point for particle free separating fluid free exists between the main feed opening and the upper head. The plant separates particles with a diameter of 0.5-50mm, preferably 1-10mm, more preferably 2-7mm diameter with not >15wt%, preferably not >10wt% and more preferably not >5wt% of smaller particles. An independent claim is included for a sink and float process for separation of solid particles of different densities in which a channel(3) acting as a separating chamber(2) extends between upper(4) and lower(5) collecting heads for the lighter and heavier fractions, the suspension of particles and fluid enters transverse to the channel axis and a fraction flow is discharged while maintaining a constant flow rate of the heavy fraction in the channel.
