IPC: G01B7/06
Filed: 1989-12-21
Abstract: A transient electromagnetic method for detecting irregularities on container walls by measuring wall thickness. The method utilizes a transmitting antenna and separate receiving antennas so as to form a loop-­loop configuration. The transmitting antenna induces current into the container wall and the receiving antennas detect the induced current and produce received signals. The distance between the antennas and the container wall can vary, particularly where insulation is interposed therebetween. The variations in antenna distance affects the received signals. The affects are corrected by determining the maximum of the respective received signal and determining the arrival time of the maximum. The maximum and the arrival time are used to determine the thickness of the wall.

Abstract: When a shift command is issued the line pressure is dropped to a first low level until such time as the inertia phase of the shift begins. From this time the level of line pressure is raised and maintained at a second higher level until the end of the inertia phase. During the final stage of the shift, the level of line pressure is again lowered. A spike in the transmission torque output when tends to occur at the beginning of the inertia phase is attenuated, the level of torque which is transmitted during the inertia phase is elevated and spikes which tend to be produced by the final engagement are reduced by the temporarily lowered final stage line pressure level.

Abstract: A gas-filled discharge tube (2) of a compact construction for use as a series gap in the ignition system of an automotive spark-ignition engine and the like. The gas-filled discharge tube (7) comprises an insulating tube unit (7) having a tube (11) provided with openings (10,12) of a diameter smaller than the inside diameter thereof in the opposite ends thereof, a pair of electrode bases (9) closely attached to the opposite ends of the tube (11) so as to seal the openings, a pair of perforated discharge electrodes (8) attached respectively to the opposite inner surfaces of the electrode bases (9) to form a series gap, and an inert gas filling the tube. Since the diameter of the electrode bases (9) sealing the comparatively small openings (10,12) is comparatively small, the electrode bases (9) of a comparatively small diameter may be used. Thus, the capacitance between the electrode bases, hence the capacitance of the gas-filled discharge tube, is comparatively small, which enables the firing potential of the gas-filled discharge tube to be increased without increasing the capacitance of the same.

Abstract: An anti-lock control method and apparatus is characterized in that if the highest one VwH of the speeds of the four wheels of the vehicle is still lower than a prescribed threshold speed and not increasing at a second time point at which a prescribed time ΔT has elapsed after a first time point at which the highest wheel speed becomes lower than the threshold speed, the estimated vehicle speed is modified to be equal to the highest wheel speed VwH, thereby preventing an automotive vehicle from being not braked at the start of anti-lock control immediately after an estimated vehicle speed has changed away from the actual vehicle speed as the wheel of the vehicle performs an acceleration slip before the start of the anti-lock control.

Abstract: This process includes two Josephson contacts (12) arranged in a superconductive loop (11). This current distribution noise is produced by individual fluctuations of the critical currents of the two Josephson contacts which are used for measuring weak magnetic fields. The SQUID is connected to a device which contains a control device (14) for generating a periodic bias current (IB), a modulation device (15) for generating a flux modulation via an induced alternating current in the loop (11) and a signal detection device (17) for forming an average output voltage (VGES). The polarity of the bias current (IB) is changed via the control device (14) with the modulation frequency and a time displacement of one quarter of the period of the modulation frequency, as a result of which the SQUID passes through various bias states. With suitably weighted signal detection in the signal detection device (17), the current distribution noise signals resulting from fluctuations of the critical currents are mutually cancelled in the signal sum over four bias states. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: Picker elements (111) are advanced a first distance (X) into contact with the ends (115) of parallel filaments (113) in a stock box (100) and then stopped (movement from FIG. 1 to FIG. 2). A flap (106) is vibrated by a vibrator (117) and this positions some of the filaments (118) ready to slide into the mouths (112) of the picker elements (111), which are then advanced a second distance (Y) in order to scoop up the aligned filaments in order to form tufts of filaments (movement from FIG. 2 to FIG. 3). The vibrator (117) is then turned off and the picker elements (111) retracted a third distance (Z) in order to remove the tufts from the stock box (100) (movement from FIG. 3 to FIG. 4). The stopping and vibrating during the forward stroke ensures that the filaments do not become misaligned or forced out of the stock box (100) by the picker elements (111).
