Abstract: A method for forming a glass sheet (6) that includes heating the sheet (6) during conveyance on a conveyor (14), cyclically moving an upper mold (38) downwardly to receive the sheet (6) and then moving the upper mold (3 8) upwardly with the glass sheet (6) supported thereby. A lower mold (36) is moved horizontally on a lower mold shuttle (50) from an idle position spaced from the upper mold (38) to a use position below the upper mold (38). The lower mold (36) is then cyclically transferred in the use position from the lower mold shuttle (50) to a lower mold support assembly (60) whereafter the upper mold (38) moves downwardly toward the lower mold (36) moving the lower mold (36) horizontally on the lower mold support assembly (60) as necessary into alignment with the upper mold (30) and then forming the glass sheet (6) between the molds (36, 38). The upper mold (38) then moves upwardly and the lower mold (36) is transferred from the lower mold support assembly (60) back to the lower mold shuttle (50) for horizontal movement thereon from below the upper mold (38) back to the idle position to permit delivery of the formed glass sheet (6) from the upper mold (38) for cooling. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de commande d'un système de communication utilisant un canal duplex à répartition en fréquence continu. Chaque segment temporel du canal est divisé en un nombre prédéterminé de sous-segments. Pour un premier ensemble de segments temporels, les données du signal de communication pour le segment temporel respectif sont répétées dans tous les sous-segments, et pour un second ensemble de segments temporels, des périodes nulles sont prévues dans un ou plusieurs des sous-segments pendant lesquelles le signal de communication de la première station à la seconde station est interrompu. Les données du signal de communication sont transmises pendant les sous-segments restants du second ensemble. Cette approche permet d'établir un mode de transmission par tranches dans un système duplex à répartition en fréquence AMDC, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'adapter le rapport d'étalement du système AMDC.

Title: Procede de reduction des oxydes d'azote dans les gaz d'echappement d'un moteur a combustion interne fonctionnant avec un melange pauvre
Inventor: POTT EKKEHARD
IPC: F01N3/08

Granted: 2002-04-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de réduction des oxydes d'azote dans les gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne fonctionnant avec un mélange pauvre et comportant un catalyseur à accumulation de NOx. Selon ce procédé, l'accumulation des NOx est favorisée par des mesures visant à augmenter la température des gaz d'échappement et/ou à abaisser le débit massique de ces derniers, et la régénération des NOx par le catalyseur est régulée de sorte que l'épuration des gaz soit optimale. Pour réguler la régénération des NOx, ledit procédé détermine l'état de charge du catalyseur en oxydes d'azote et/ou contrôle l'activité du catalyseur au moyen d'un système de diagnostic embarqué. En cas de dépassement d'une charge maximale admissible ou en cas d'activité irrégulière du catalyseur, un contrôle de la fiabilité de la régénération des NOx est tout d'abord réalisé. A cet effet, une vérification est effectuée pour déterminer si des composants importants pour la sécurité fonctionnent correctement et/ou si des paramètres prédéterminés de marche sont respectés dans la situation de marche actuelle. Un autre contrôle est également effectué pour déterminer si le respect de paramètres de régénération prédéterminés permet de réaliser une régénération des NOx. Si les conditions de fiabilité sont remplies, les paramètres de régénération requis sont éventuellement fixés et une régénération des NOx est réalisée jusqu'à ce qu'un degré de régénération prédéterminé soit atteint ou bien jusqu'à ce que les résultats actuels du contrôle de fiabilité nécessitent un arrêt prématuré ou une interruption du processus de régénération. Dans ce cas, selon le degré de régénération déjà atteint, soit la régénération des NOx est reprise si les conditions de fiabilité sont de nouveau réunies, soit le procédé est de nouveau mis en oeuvre, comme cela se produit au moment de l'achèvement normal du processus de régénération, par retour à la première l'étape du procédé. Ce procédé pouvant être mis en oeuvre en particulier dans des moteurs diesel à rampe d'alimentation commune, l'invention concerne également un moteur diesel à rampe d'alimentation commune pour la mise en oeuvre dudit procédé, comportant un dispositif d'épuration des gaz correspondant.

Abstract: The invention consists essentially of a cylindrical drum T with a circular cross section, two prismatic pistons P and P' of square or rectangular cross section that slide on a diameter of the drum and are pressed by springs against the internal walls of a hollow cylinder C' of elliptical cross section, whose minor axis is equal to the diameter of the drum. Two spark plugs produce a spark simultaneously in the air- fuel mixture injected through the upper left part and the lower right part, producing a net TORQUE.

Abstract: While engaging a higher gear (figure 3), the carriage 9, pushed by a shaft hinged at the gear shift pedal, enters the box 1, while the end of a pawl 10 projects laterally and, pivoting at 11, bears against the stop 14 thanks to the ball 12 pushed by the pressure spring 13. The pawl 10 advances to meet the pawl 4, pivoted at 5, forcing it to rotate against the spring 6 which, connected at 7, holds it against the stop 4 and against the spring lever 3 of the microswitch 2, connected to the ignition. Therefore, by releasing the lever 3 from the pressure of the pawl 4, current is cut off to the ignition, although this does not occur during the subsequent reverse movement of the carriage 9 (figure 6), and this time the pawl 4 prevails over the pawl 10, forcing it to rotate toward the inside of the carriage. <IMAGE>
