Title: Face gear transmission
Inventor: KUIKEN HENDRIK
IPC: F16H1/12
Filed: 1986-12-03
Granted: 1989-05-11
Abstract: Face-gear transmissions in which the teeth-tip-height T can be increased considerably in the region where the face-gear teeth have increased pressure angles a, resulting in considerably increased loading capacity and meshing quotient, all based on meshing cooperation with standard cylindrical gears with either straight (spur) or helical teeth. The angle between the transmission shafts 3, may be 90°, less or over, the shafts may intersect or cross. In case involute toothing is chosen for the cylindrical gear wheel, all well-known advantages remain valid, thus alignment of the transmission is considerably less critical than with bevelled transmissions, axial- pinion loads are less or absent, loading capacity is comparable or better and transmission ratios surpassing approximately 1:5 become the more attractive. In many cases less transmission steps will be possible, reducing size and cost. Simple replacement becomes possible, without any alignment problems. Face gear transmission now may be used for primary, high load, long-life industrial applications.

Title: Electrospray ion source for mass spectrometry
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 1990-09-19
Granted: 1993-05-13
Abstract: An electrospray ion source is designed for ready and simple plugging into commercial mass analyzers for mass spectrometric analysis of organic molecules. The electrospray is carried out is the ambient air and the ions and other charged species enter the mass analyuzer through a long metal capillary tube and three stages of differential pumping. The use of the long tube allows (a) convenient injection of the ions into the mass analyzer (b) optimization of the spray by direct visualization in the air (c) efficient and controlled heat transfer to the droplets and (d) efficient pumping of the region between the capillary exit and the skinner. Desolvation of the solvated ions is carried out using a combination of controlled heat transfer to the charged droplets during the transit through the tube and collisional activation in a region of reduced pressure. Desolvation with this system does not involve use of a strong countercurrent flow of heated gas. The system also may be used to obtain the collisional activated fragmentation spectra of molecule ions. The use of a metal capillary tube avoids complications from charging that arise from the use of dielectric capilliary tubes.

Title: Media pipeline system
Inventor: PETERS ERIC C
IPC: H04N5/937
Filed: 1990-12-19
Granted: 1994-09-08
Abstract: The invention is a data pipeline system which synchronizes the display of digitized audio and video data regardless of the speed at which the data was recorded on its linear medium. To do this, the video data is played at a constant speed, synchronized by the audio speed. Further, the invention uses a method of "staging" data in storage buffers, i.e, ring buffers, which encourages efficient use of the viewer module resources by not permitting the viewer to read excessive amounts of data at any one time, i.e., to read only enough data into any one ring buffer so that the amount of data in the ring buffer is roughly equivalent to the amount of data in the other ring buffers and yet permitting the viewer to read large enough chunks of data to promote efficient use of the fill system. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1998-12-16
Abstract: A control system for internal combustion engines, including a first conduit for the flow of intake air, and a second conduit for the flow of natural gas to be mixed with the air for combustion. The flow of the air is variable over a range of mass flow rates during operation of the engine and an air mass sensor is positioned to sense the mass flow rate in the first conduit and generate a first flow rate signal indicating the mass flow rate. A natural gas mass sensor is positioned to sense the mass flow rate of the gas in the second conduit and to generate a second flow rate signal indicating the mass flow rate of the natural gas. The first and second flow rate signals are compared in an electronic controller that generates a control signal if the first and second flow rates vary from a predetermined ratio. The ratio is selected to provide a substantially stoichiometric ratio of air and natural gas. A valve is provided to adjustably control the flow rate of the natural gas in response to the control signal to maintain the preselected ratio. A sensor and shutoff valve are also provided for terminating the flow of the natural gas when its pressure falls below a predetermined pressure, allowing immediate flow of gasoline to the engine, thus assuring smooth, continued operation of the vehicle. A throttle body has a natural gas distribution ring in the throat of the body and provides a curtain flow of gas.

Granted: 1996-10-30
Abstract: Apparatus and method insuring that data objects used to maintain state information for shared data at a local central processing complex (CPC) is coherent with respect to state information maintained at a structured external storage facility (SES) over a link is valid. An error detector is attached to the CPC side of the link for detecting errors on the link, and, when an error is detected, setting a error state pending (ESP) latch to indicate that the link has failed and that the shared data in the local data object may be invalid because a message invalidating the data may not have been received by the CPC. In data processing operations, the ESP latch is interrogated by a central processor in the CPC to determine the health of the message path to the SES facility. A local cache vector reflecting the validity of the shared data in the local cache may then be interrogated to determine if the shared data in the local cache is valid. If a healthy path has continuously existed and the vector indicates that the local cache data is valid, the integrity of the data can be relied on. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1428179 Semi-conductor devices WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 9 April 1973 [19 April 1972] 16826/73 Heading H1K [Also in Divisions C6-C7] The leads 41 of a solid-state device are electrolytically coated by making them anodic in a solution or colloidal suspension of an amine or imidazole salt of a polyamic acid (polyamide acid) and the material thus electrodeposited is heat cured to a polyimide film which forms flexible void-free interfaces with the leads and with a subsequently applied encapsulant which covers both the device and leads. The relative quantities of amine, polyamic acid, and solvents are critical, for both solution and colloidal suspension. In each case, more than one non- aqueous organic liquid is present in the composition. One or more of these act as a solvent for the polyamic acid and one or more act as non-solvent for the amine or imidazole salt of the acid. A variety of amines and imidazoles are listed. Solvents for the acid are N : N- dialkyl carboxylamides, dimethyl-sulphoxide, and pyridine. The non-solvents listed for the salt are all ketones. As shown a P+N silicon diode 40 has its body and electrodes protected with a silicon grease coating 45 while the leads are coated with polyamic acid and the device heat treated to form the polyimide. The diode is then vacuum baked, encapsulated with a mineral filled epoxy resin, and further baked to cross-link the resin. In general, encapsulants may be epoxy, silicone, polyester, phenolic, or diallylphthalate resins and may be filled with silica, benyl, or talc. Transistors, gate-controlled switches, and integrated circuits may be similarly treated.
