Patent EP-0830992-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILLER HARRY W II
IPC: B60R21/26
Filed: 1997-09-11
Abstract: The use of unitary liquid fuel storage chambers (112)
provides advantages in the manufacturing and assembly of
inflators for use in airbag passive restraint systems. A
unique process of injecting liquid fuel through a conduit
(74) which is controlled to discharge the liquid fuel beneath
the rising surface of the liquid fuel in the container and
then sealing the storage chamber with a unique stopper
provides consistently accurately filled unitary fuel
containing storage chambers. The filled and sealed unitary
storage chambers can then be either stored or assembled into
an inflator. The assembly of the inflator can be at a
location separate from that at which the storage container is
loaded with fuel, whereby the relatively hazardous loading
and handling of liquid fuels can be separated from the
inflator assembly area.

Abstract: The present invention provides a check valve (20) including a seal door (22) which
is normally spring biased towards a closed position but which is responsive to a flow of fuel
for displacing to an open position to allow fuel to pass in a first direction and for thereafter
preventing passage of liquid fuel or fuel vapors in a second direction. According to the
invention, the check valve (20) is disposed at a lower end (18) or in the midsection of a fuel
tank filler pipe (14). The check valve (20) includes an annular housing (24) having a
concentric annular valve seat portion (46) including a frustoconical valve seat (48) facing
toward the lower end (18) of the filler pipe (14). A seal door (22) attached to a hinge
member (58) is resiliently biased toward engagement with the valve seat (48) by a spring
member (72). The inflow of fuel overcomes the bias of the spring member (72) which
causes the seal door (22) to displace to an open position to allow passage of fuel to the fuel
tank (12). The seal door (22) is returned to a closed position under the bias of the spring
member (72) in the absence of the inflowing fuel to prevent liquid fuel and fuel vapor from
discharging into the atmosphere.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass
surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a first orifice (24) for receiving core glass from a first
source (12). A second orifice (26) is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice,
and is surrounded by a chamber (30) that communicates with the second orifice through a gap
between the first and second orifices. A spout (36) delivers casing glass from a second source
(40) through a tube (32) to the chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first
and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. Rate of glass flow
through the second or casing glass source (40) is measured and compared with one or more preset
limits (78). Rate of casing glass flow from the second source to the chamber surrounding the
orifices is adjusted when rate of flow through the second source departs from the preset limit.
In this way, a desired ratio of casing glass to core glass, and consequently the desired thickness
of the casing glass layer, is automatically maintained.

Abstract: A method of recycling a deteriorated nickel-hydrogen
battery. Concentrated sulfuric acid containing at least one of Ni
ions, Co ions and La ions is poured into the deteriorated
nickel-hydrogen battery and the interior thereof is cleaned with the
concentrated sulfuric acid. The state of the interior of the battery
is maintained at a temperature of 60 ± 10 °C, and an electric current
is supplied in such a direction as to charge the nickel-hydrogen
battery. Then, the interior of the nickel-hydrogen battery is
cleaned and filled with an alkali electrolyte containing a reducing
agent. Consequently, γ-NiOOH changes to β-NiOOH to restore the
capacity of a positive electrode, and Mm(OH) 3 , Al(OH) 3 , Mn(OH) 2 
and Co(OH) 2  dissolve in concentrated sulfuric acid to activate the
surface of a negative electrode. In addition, the hydrophilic
property of the separator is restored.

Abstract: A detector  50  is included in a laser apparatus for generating a high energy laser
beam to protect against the uncontrolled escape of the high energy laser beam from its prescribed
optical path  40 . The high energy laser beam proceeds along the optical path  40  and is directed to
a work site  44  by a series of reflective surfaces in its path  26  and  30 . The series of reflective
surfaces function to change the path  14  of the beam  32  from the generating source to the work
station  44 . Associated with each of the reflective surfaces is a detector  50  which comprises a
conductive frame  51  having a front face  52  and a back face  54 . The back face  54  is equipped
with a thermal sensor  60  which is positioned in a base portion  64  of the heat conductive frame  51 .
The detector is equipped with cooling means  58  and  66  for maintaining the threshold temperature.
The sensor  60  which is affixed to the base portion  64  having a controlled thickness is preset at a
threshold temperature such that in the event the reflective surfaces  26  or  30  breaks or otherwise
fails permitting the beam  34  to strike the heat conductive frame  51  it would cause sudden rise in
temperature of the sensor which would trigger the control circuit  69  to shut down the power
supply  92  that energizes the high energy gain module  12 .

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a glass base
material for an optical fiber. A material for an optical
fiber and a reaction gas are jetted from a burner connected
to a material line and a gas line toward a surface of a
quartz substrate, in order to deposit a soot-like reaction
product on the substrate at a predetermined position to
thereby produce a glass base material for an optical fiber.
Dry air is introduced into a reaction container in an amount
of 2 to 30 times the amount of water vapor that is generated
due to flame hydrolysis during the reaction. Therefore, it
is possible to reliably solve the problem that the interior
of the reaction container is excessively dried, with the
result that soot generated through a reaction adheres to and
aggregates on the wall surface of the reaction container due
to static electricity, and the problem that the amount of
water vapor becomes excessive and is condensed on the wall
surface, with the result that soot strongly adheres to the
wall surface, while the observation window or the like
becomes fogged. Further, soot peeled off the wall surface
is prevented from adhering to or melting into the side
surface or base portion of a pre-form being pulled, so that
the quality of products is improved, and stable operation
becomes possible.

Abstract: For transmitting information about the neighbouring cells to mobile stations, a
base station of a cellular radio system creates a message (27, 27') containing
information about the neighbouring cells and transmits it to the mobile station.
In addition to the transmission frequencies used in the neighbouring cells, the
base station includes in the message other information characterizing the
neighbouring cells (32a, 32b, 32c, 34). In particular, the base station includes
in the message information about the quality of service offered to mobile
stations by each of the neighbouring cells mentioned in the message. On the
basis of the message, the mobile station makes a preliminary selection of a
group of the most advantageous new cells and performs measurements
among this preliminary selection in order to find a suitable new cell (41, 47). If
the measurements show that there is at least one suitable new cell among the
preliminary selection, the mobile station selects a new cell from this group
(42). If the measurements show that there are no suitable new cells in this
group, the mobile station selects a new cell from another group of cells than
the preliminary selection (43, 48).

Abstract: A method for correcting scanning errors in a shuttle
scanner is described. A pattern sheet on which pattern
data having a specified shape are recorded is scanned.
Errors for incline of the pattern data are corrected by
using pattern data of a straight line form among the
scanned pattern data having the specified shape. Then,
errors for distance between bands are corrected by using
pattern data of a specified shape. Accordingly, since the
errors for incline and the errors for distance between
the bands can be corrected by using a computer program,
correcting the errors of the pattern data is very simple.
Furthermore, even if the scanner is subjected to an
impact from an exterior, correcting the errors for incline
and the errors for distance between the bands can
be promptly performed.
