Patent EP-0666427-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAAGE MANFRED DIPL-ING FH
IPC: F16B13/02
Filed: 1994-12-23
Abstract: The masonry fitting bolt has a pattern a protrusions (5) spaced over its outer shaft in an area which is to be inside the bored hole. The protrusions are spaced and orientated in such a way that the insertion of the bolt provides an even mixing of the bonding material which is introduced into the bore to cement the bolt into place. The protrusions are produced on the bolt by metal power moulding of the protrusions and the bolt. The protrusions are shaped to provide a cutting edge to clean the bore prior to fitting and have an offset array to provide a good grip and a good mixing effect. The leading end of each protrusion can be pointed for ease of insertion.

Abstract: An insulation displacement contact (10) comprises first and second contact portions each of which comprises a cantilevered split beam (19). The upper split beam, which receives insulated wires, comprises a pair of tynes (20,22) which are folded about the axis of a slot (25) separating the tynes such that the internal angle between the tynes is approximately 90°. The width of the tynes is larger than that of prior art devices resulting in increased stiffness and the length of the tynes is sufficiently long to receive two wires therebetween. 
     The contacts (10) are mounted in a housing which includes a plurality of teeth (90) provided with means for retaining lugs (32,34) on the end of the tynes to ensure bowed opening of the tynes on insertion of a wire. The contacts are arranged along the central axis (72) of the housing such that the folded tynes of alternate contacts extend on opposite sides of the central axis.

Oversprayed powder is collected from a part of the booth (32) intermediate the spray guns (100) and the enlarged outlet opening. Preferably, the thickness of powder coating on the articles (30) in the precured condition is measured and the system is controlled so that the coating thickness is uniform and of the desired thickness.

Abstract: To receive a response signal from a radio card (4B), a card reader (4A) transmits a carrier (not modulated) to the radio card (4B). In the radio card (4B), a phase modulator (51) phase-modulates the a sub-carrier with a response signal, thereby generating a PSK signal, and a phase modulator (50) phase-modulates the carrier with the PSK signal, producing a PSK-PSK signal. The PSK-PSK signal is supplied to an antenna (47) via a signal-extracting device (48). The antenna (47) sends the PSK-PSK signal toward the card reader (4A). In the card reader (4A), a distributor (53) distributes the PSK-PSK signal to a synchronous detector (54a) and an orthogonal detector (54b). The detectors (54a, 54b) performs synchronous detection by using carriers which differ in phase by 90°. Low-pass filters (55a, 55b) extract sub-carrier components from the outputs of the detectors (54a, 54b). The sub-carrier components are delayed and detected by delay detectors (56a, 56b) and added together by an adder (57). The level of the output of the adder (57) is determined by a data discriminator (58), whereby the card reader (4A) obtains the response signal transmitted from the radio card (4B).

Abstract: The sheets are delivered by grips (03) at regular intervals along the top run (17) of a pair of endless chains (02) and with their most recently printed sides (34) downwards. After deflection so as to bring these sides uppermost, they are deposited on a first stack (23). Seen in their travel direction, the sheets can be deposited on one or more further stacks (24) as desired, using a single pair of chains common to all stacks. To deposit them on the second stack, the sheets are transferred from the grips of the top chain run to a further grip (27) after the first stack. This deflects them so as to bring the printed side uppermost to be deposited on the second stack.

Abstract: An image memory outputs a target encoding pixel and a plurality of reference pixels in the vicinity thereof. A boundary mode determining unit determines a maximum value and a minimum value of the reference pixels, determines an average value of the maximum value and the minimum value, compares the respective reference pixel values with the average value, detects a boundary in the target encoding pixel and the reference pixels based on comparison results, and detects a pixel distribution state of the reference pixels based on the detected boundary. An adaptive predictor calculates a prediction value by performing a calculation based on a function corresponding to the pixel distribution state and the reference pixels. A prediction difference calculating unit determines a difference value between the prediction value and a value of the target encoding pixel. A prediction coincidence determining unit compares the prediction value and the target encoding pixel value, and outputs a comparison result as a binary signal. A context generator generates a context based on the pixel distribution state and the difference value of the prediction difference calculating unit. An arithmetic encoder encodes the binary signal based on the context thus generated.

Abstract: To present a refrigeration cycle of high reliability by controlling, in a refrigeration cycle, deposit of foreign matter at inlet or outlet of a capillary tube in a simple and inexpensive structure, regardless of changeover of cooling operation and heating operation. In a refrigeration cycle using an alternative refrigerant, a junction 3b of a capillary tube 3a composing an expansion device 3 and a piping 5 has a slope 6 gradually decreased in inside diameter from the piping 5 side to the capillary tube 3a side. An end portion of the capillary tube 3a projects into the junction 3b at the piping 5 side. The projecting end of the capillary tube 3a is opened obliquely to the axial line of the capillary tube. A hole is formed in the peripheral wall of the projecting end of the capillary tube 3a. In such constitution, foreign matter in the refrigerant is forced to deposit in other portions than the capillary tube 3a, and the foreign matter is removed from the refrigerant. At the same time, the depositing foreign matter is prevented from having effects on the flow of the refrigerant.

Abstract: In the exhaust gas purification device of the present invention, No. 1 cylinder of the engine is operated at a rich air-fuel ratio and other cylinders (No. 2 to No. 4) are operated at a lean air-fuel ratio. The exhaust gases from the No. 1 and No. 2 cylinders are mixed each other and form a lean air-fuel ratio exhaust gas mixture. Further, since the air-fuel ratio of the No. 2 cylinder is lean, the exhaust gas from the No. 2 cylinder contains a relatively large amount of NO X . Therefore, an exhaust gas mixture supplied to the three-way catalyst has a rich air-fuel ratio and contains a relatively large amount of NO X . Therefore, at the three-way catalyst, a part of NO X  in the exhaust gas mixture is converted to NH 3 . The exhaust gas mixture flowing out from the three-way catalyst and the lean exhaust gas from the No. 3 and No. 4 flows into a common exhaust gas passage where they mix each other to form a lean exhaust gas containing NH 3  from the three-way catalyst and NO X  from the No. 3 and No. 4 cylinders. This lean exhaust gas flows into a denitrating catalyst disposed on the common exhaust gas passage. Therefore, NO X  in the exhaust gas is reduced by NH 3  at the denitrating catalyst.
