Inventor: HAWKES GERRY E
IPC: B62H3/04
Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: Upstanding side rails (30) are welded to oppositely facing surfaces of opposed rectangular top and bottom plates (32,34) at respective corners thereof to form a unitary, rigid, parallelepiped open frame structure (12) defining an open front slot (16) sized to receive a bicycle wheel (W) rim (R) and tire (T). Deflectable resilient members (37) are mounted to opposite side rails at the open front slot and extending towards each other permitting entry of the bicycle wheel rim and tire into the interior of the parallelepiped, open frame structure and snap behind the bicycle wheel rim. Horizontal side rails or plates (36) and rear plates are fixed to respective pairs of opposed vertical side rails (30) along both sides and at the rear to properly retain the wheel, to render the structure rigid and to add strength thereto. Apertures (38,40) in the bottom and top plates (32,34) permit fixedly mounting of the module to a planar support member beneath the bottom plate and to a transverse common coupling member overlying the top plates of a plurality of upright modules to form a multi-module bicycle rack. The transverse common coupling member may be formed by a bench, a planar seat, a table top or an upwardly open box-like planter. A steel security arm (14) having a head bolt (18) or threaded stud (50) welded to one end of a square metal tubing of elongated form and having a U-shaped steel loop welded to the opposite end of the arm may be rotatably mounted to the open frame structure by being threaded into a nut (42) welded to the open frame structure beneath the top plate. The security arm is coupled to a bicycle frame by a U-lock.

Abstract: Eine Verstellvorrichtung zur Durchführung mindestens einer Verstellfunktion, insbesondere zur Verstellung eines Kraftfahrzeugsitzes besitzt mindestens ein Antrieb und Abtrieb aufweisendes Getriebe zur Übertragung einer antriebsseitigen Drehbewegung in eine abtriebsseitige Verstellbewegung. Das Getriebe ist mit Freilauf und Hemmung derart ausgestattet, daß bei Kraftfluß vom Antrieb zum Abtrieb das Getriebe in entgegengesetzten Drehrichtungen frei drehbar ist und bei Umkehrung des Kraftflusses sperrt. Mit einer Betätigungseinheit kann eine Drehbewegung in dem einen oder anderen Drehsinn am Antrieb erzeugt werden. Das Getriebe weist eine abtriebsseitige, mit einem Verstellorgan drehfest verbundene Innenwelle und ein feststehendes Gehäuse auf, das mit einer zylindrischen Gehäuseinnenwand die Innenwelle unter Belassung eines Ringspalts zu deren Außenmantel konzentrisch umschließt. Die Innenwelle trägt um vorzugsweise gleiche Umfangswinkel zueinander versetzt angeordnete, in den Ringspalt radial hineinragende Radialvorsprünge, wobei im Außenmantel eine doppelte Anzahl von Vertiefungen eingebracht sind, die in Umfangsrichtung gesehen auf einer Seite jeweils von einer Radialschulter der Radialvorsprünge begrenzt sind und deren Tiefe zu der von der Radialschulter abgekehrten Seite hin abnimmt. In den Vertiefungen liegt jeweils ein Klemmkörper ein, der am Boden der Vertiefung und an der Gehäuseinnenwand anliegt und mittels eines federelastischen Elements zu der von der Radialschulter abgekehrten Seite der Vertiefung hin verschoben wird. In den Ringspalt ragt eine der Anzahl der Radialvorsprünge entsprechende Zahl von antriebsseitigen Mitnehmern hinein, die jeweils zwischen zwei einander zugekehrten Klemmkörpern plaziert sind. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren dieser Art, bei dem das Gasgemisch und ein zusätzlich zugeführtes oxidierendes Gas durch einen das Katalysatormaterial (5) enthaltenden Reaktor hindurchgeleitet wird. Es wird vorgeschlagen, das oxidierende Gas an mehreren Stellen längs des Gasgemischströmungsweges mit einer jeweils gesteuerten oder geregelten Durchflußmenge einzuleiten. Außerdem wird vorgeschlagen, den Gasgemischstrom durch im Eingangsbereich des CO-Oxidationsreaktors angeordnete statische Mischerstrukturen (8) passiv zu kühlen. Diese gezielte Beeinflußbarkeit der exothermen CO-Oxidation längs des Reaktorweges erlaubt eine sehr variable und auf die jeweilige Situation abstimmbare Prozeßführung. Verwendung z.B. bei der Wasserstoffgewinnung durch Methanolreformierung für brennstoffzellengetriebene Kraftfahrzeuge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A single mode optical waveguide fiber designed for high data rate, or WDM systems or systems incorporating optical amplifiers. The optical waveguide has a compound core having a central region and at least one annular region surrounding the central region. A distinguishing feature of the waveguide core is that the minimum refractive index of the central core region (24,28,30,40,44) is less than the minimum index of the adjacent annular region (26,32,36,42). 
     A relatively simple profile design has the characteristics of ease in manufacturing together with, flexibility in tailoring D, to yield a preselected zero dispersion wavelength, dispersion magnitude over a target wavelength range, and dispersion slope. 
     The simplicity of profile gives reduced polarization mode dispersion.

Abstract: An arm 14 carrying a probe 18 is movable axially (arrows 38) in and out of a housing 10, under the action of a hydraulic ram 26. In an extended, operative position, kinematic elements 58 on a collar 32 engage with further kinematic elements on an end plate 12, to precisely define the operative position of the arm. A coupling mechanism 30 between the arm 14 and the ram 26 decouples the arm from the ram in the operative position, so as not to interfere with the kinematic elements. This coupling mechanism contains a spring which provides a repeatable biasing force to the kinematic elements in the operative position. The movement of the arm is guided by pins 34 in slots 36,40,46,48,50, which can optionally provide swivelling of the probe 18 as it approaches the operative position.

Abstract: Smart cards are cards which control the execution of their own transactions, so as to avoid providing specialised card readers for each type of transaction. The smart card system of the invention has at least one card reader (1) and a smart card (4) storing a transaction management programme. The system is characterised in that the reader (1) controls the exchange cycles by alternately and repetitively sending to the card (4) a request for issuing an instruction and data packet designated as 'card message', and a report statement associated with a report message relating to the execution of previously received instructions in card messages by the reader. The smart card (4) controls the processing cycles which are synchronous with the exchange cycles through transaction management programme execution means which develop the instructions and data of the card messages at the rate of the card message issue requests and of report statements transmitted by the reader (1).
