Abstract: The invention relates to devices for mounting a rubber-sprung axle (1) on the frame (2) of a vehicle trailer. In the prior art such mountings are formed by welding. In order to avoid such welding and to adapt mountings to be formed by screwed fastenings to vehicles of different width and type, the invention provides for the use of two-part tensioning blocks (6) which are displaceable along the carrier tube (3) of the rubber-sprung axle (1) and which embrace this. The upper part (7) of the tensioning block is designed with a U-shaped cross section and with its legs (21) encloses the upper four lateral faces of the hexagonal carrier tube (3). The other lower part (8) of the tensioning block encloses the remaining two lateral faces of the carrier tube (3) and is reinforced in the leg area (14). Both parts (7, 8) of the tensioning block have flange webs (9, 10) parallel to one another, by means of which the carrier tube (3) is clamped between the parts (7, 8) of the tensioning block and fixed maintaining a distance on the vehicle frame (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Since a transmission route is set in accordance with the number of relaying broad band switching nodes present between two terminating nodes of a plurality of broad band switching nodes, a through-put characteristic, an affecting degree due to occurrence of a defect, the traffic of the entire network is distributed. In addition, when the system is started up, transmission routes with a minimum band width necessary for routing control have been set in all the broad band switching nodes. Whenever a call takes place, a transmission route is set and the band width is variably set by using an intelligent inference mechanism. Moreover, an intelligent distributed control for distributing such an intelligent inference mechanism in the broad band switching nodes is used. Thus, the load of processing a call can be decreased, while the reliability of the network and the improvement of the operating efficiency can be achieved. Furthermore, since the private branch system interface uses a frame which consists of a control window area for controlling its transmission and a cell multiplexing area for multiplexingly transmitting cells, bidirectional transmission between the broad band switching node and a plurality of terminal equipments can be achieved with a single extension transmission line. In addition, since a frame construction which satisfies the ATM method is used, different information transmission speeds can be flexibly selected. Thus, high through-put characteristic and statistic multiplexing effect intrinsic to the ATM method can be accomplished even in the extension line interface.

Abstract: An electronic detection system for detecting vibration patterns from physical events, such as engine knocking or articulated speech, senses a vibration source with a wideband transducer to provide a sensed signal, then converts this signal to energy amplitude and spectral frequency form to extract detectable features of the vibration pattern.

Abstract: A high-speed, high-capacity, asynchronous transfer mode packet switching system (10,12) comprises electronic and optical components. The switching system may be a high-capacity multiple-gigabit-per-second optical system controlled by a relatively low-speed electronic controller operating at one hundred megabit-per-second rates. The switching system comprises a plurality of N input lines (1 to N). Each of the N lines carries a succession of data packets or cells to the switching system. Each of the cells is input to the switch in time slots or cell periods of predetermined duration. A laser transmitter (in 10) producing a separate and distinct carrier frequency identifying its associated input is responsive to each of the N input lines. The laser transmitters are connected to the input of an optical star coupler (in 10) which is connected to a series of tunable receivers (in 10). There is one tunable receiver for each output of the switching system. Groups of tunable receivers are connected to the inputs of a series of relatively small packet switching modules (12). The receivers are tuned by a relatively low-speed electronic controller. The controller is responsive to header information in the incoming cells and produces a series of control packets having, for example, activity, priority, and source information. The control packets are pipelined through the controller and sent to the appropriate tunable receivers where they indicate which frequency coming out of the star coupler they should be tuned, thereby causing each receiver to be receptive to the output of an appropriate one of the laser transmitters.

Abstract: A solenoid valve (20) installed between the high-pressure side (48e) of a fuel supply passage (48) leading to a compressor (5) of a fuel injection pump (1) and a low-pressure side (48b, 48c, 48d) of the fuel supply passage (48) to adjust the connection condition between them, comprises a valve body (22), an armature (31), a solenoid (37) which moves the armature (31) and a return spring (42). The solenoid valve (20) is provided with a passage (56) connecting an armature chamber (35) and a balance chamber (55) formed around the edge of the opposite side to the armature (31) in the area surrounded by a header (25). To prevent a pressure rise in the armature chamber (35) the clearance of sliding unit (46a) between a spill chamber (27) and the armature chamber (35) is set smaller than that of sliding unit (46b) between the spill chamber (27) and the balance chamber (55). Since the clearance of sliding unit (46b) is set larger than that of sliding unit (46a) the pressure rising gradually in the armature chamber (35) is relieved by the fuel which escapes from the balance chamber (55) via the large clearance of sliding unit (46b) to the spill chamber (27). A play mechanism is made in the area where the different members of the solenoid valve (20) are facing each other to slide in, to absorb a gap between the sliding holes of the different members and to secure the smooth movement of the valve body (22).
