Abstract: Phase encoding of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) information is performed using rf pulse sequences. The rf pulse sequences produce a substantially continuous phase variation across the resonant frequency range of the atoms of an object in order to perform phase encoding. Some of the pulses may be tailored pulses, with each tailored rf pulse including frequencies which cover a bounded continuous frequency range. Either the phase or the amplitude of each tailored rf pulse varies with frequency across this continuous range. If the amplitude varies linearly across the range, the phase is constant, but if the phase varies linearly across the range, the amplitude is constant. The tailored rf pulses may be applied in the presence of pulsed magnetic gradient fields of the conventional type to produce the phase variation. Alternatively, rf pulses may be applied through rf field gradient coils providing a spatial variation which permits phase encoding of spatial information. The rf pulses may, in either case, be included in a sequence of pulses which also performs excitation of atoms in an object being imaged.

Abstract: A fan apparatus employs such structure that a setting angle of the blade is kept to be a predetermined angle at a first area from a bottom portion of the blade to an intermediate portion of the blade and the setting angle is increased at a second area from the intermediate portion of the blade to a top portion of the blade. A chord length of the blade of the present invention gradually increases from the bottom portion to the top portion. A first wing axis (ℓ₁) of the blade at the first area from the bottom portion to the intermediate portion and a second wing axis (ℓ₂) of the blade at the second area from the intermediate portion to the top portion are not parallel from each other but the second wing axis is inclined toward the rotational direction of the fan apparatus. Furthermore, the profile of the is formed in such a manner that the profile at the first area is perpendicular to the first wing axis and the profile at the second area is perpendicular to the second wing axis. The fan apparatus of the present invention employs such structures that a pressure distribution along with the wing chord is substantially the same at the first area from the bottom portion to the intermediate portion and a pressure distribution along with the wing chord at the second area is gradually increased in such a manner that the shape of the pressure distribution is the similar figures to that of the first area. The chord   length of the blade is gradually increased from the bottom portion to the top portion. 
     Since the fan apparatus of the present invention employs the structures described above, the fan apparatus well prevent the occurrence of the burbling at the outer surface of the blade even the resistance of the air flow introduced into the fan apparatus is high and the air flow passing the blade is incline to the wing chord.

Abstract: Vorrichtung zum Auffangen von Kraftstoffdämpfen beim Betanken eines Kraftstoffbehälters. Bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung dieser Art ist in den Behältereinfüllstutzen oberhalb des maximalen Kraftstoffniveaus ein selbstschließendes Steuerventil eingebaut, das zwischen einer vom Kraftstoffbehälter zu einem Aktivkohlefilter führenden Kraftstoffdampfleitung liegt und diese öffnet, sobald das Füllrohr einer Zapfpistole in den Behältereinfüllstutzen eingeführt wird. Es kann deshalb nur bei einwandfreiem Schließen des Steuerventils im Falle unfallbedingter Behälterschräg- oder -kopflage kein Kraftstoff über den Aktivkohlefilter ins Freie austreten, was jedoch bei einer Verformung des Behältereinfüllstutzens nicht zu gewährleisten ist. Bei der neuen Vorrichtung ist das Steuerventil beim Betanken von einer Zapfpistole unabhängig in seine Offenstellung steuerbar und somit außerhalb des Behältereinfüllstutzens vorgesehen. Des weiteren ist ihm ein ab einer bestimmten Schräglage des Kraftstoffbehälters unter Schwerkrafteinfluß schließendes Sicherheitsventil vorgeschaltet, so daß im Crash-Fall auch bei nicht mehr schließendem Steuerventil kein Kraftstoff auslaufen kann.
