Inventor: ENGE TREVOR L
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 1998-08-27
Abstract: A fuel vapor vent valve (100) for a motor vehicle is connected to an upper
wall of a fuel tank (12) in vertically depending relationship. The valve has a cover (122) with
a vapor exit passage (154) connected to a fuel vapor storage canister (14) and a body (116)
depending from the cover (122). One embodiment has a vapor exit (153) port that
communicates with the fuel tank interior adjacent the upper wall (120) of the fuel tank. A
vent tube (150) has one end connected to the vapor exit passage (154) and an opposite end that
communicates with the vent exit port (153) and defines a valve seat (146). The vapor exit port (153)
is located with respect to the valve seat (146) so as to separate liquid fuel particles from
vapor flow during fuel fill. The valve (146) seat is closed by a valve element (136) attached to
a float (134) when the fuel tank is full. Several further embodiments of the valve have the
body connected to the cover to accommodate side impacts to the fuel tank.

Abstract: Comparing a series of observations representing unknown speech, to
stored models representing known speech, the series of observations being
divided into at least two blocks each comprising two or more of the
observations, is carried out in an order which makes better use of memory.
First, the observations in one of the blocks are compared (31), to a subset
comprising one or more of the models, to determine a likelihood of a match to
each of the one or more models. This step is repeated (33) for models other
than those in the subset; and the whole process is repeated (34) for each block.

Abstract: A reflective liquid crystal device comprises a polarising beam splitter 30 and a mirror 2
between which are disposed retarders 31, 32, 33. At least one of the retarders 32 is a
liquid crystal element whose retardation is variable, or whose optic axis is switchable.
In a DARK state of the device the retarders combine to rotate the plane of polarisation
of light directed by the polarising beam splitter 30 towards a reflector 2 by n x 180°,
where n is an integer. The light returned to the polarising beam splitter is therefore
directed back towards the light source. In a BRIGHT state of the device, the retarder
arrangement rotates the plane of polarisation of light directed by the polarising beam
splitter 30 by 90° , and this light is transmitted by the polarising beam splitter.

Abstract: A method of transmitting DTMF signals over a compressed computer
network (24) comprises sending a packet containing a compressed DTMF signal
followed by a confirmation packet. The confirmation packet preferably comprises an
uncompressed DTMF signal which is transmitted on the same logical channel as the
packets that represent voice signals. To detect the DTMF signal transmitted, a
telephony Internet server (28) decompresses packets as they are received. If a
packet appears to contain a compressed DTMF signal, the telephony Internet server
looks for the presence of the confirmation packet before processing the previously
received packet as a DTMF signal. In an alternative embodiment, the confirmation
packet comprises a code that represents a DTMF signal. The packets that represent
the voice signal and the code representing the DTMF signal are sent on separate
virtual channels of the same logical channel. At a receiving end, data on one channel
is directed by a separation logic block (114) to a speech decompressor (116) while
another channel is directed to a DTMF signal generator (118) that generates a DTMF
signal when a corresponding code is detected. The outputs of either the speech
decompressor or the DTMF signal generator are applied to a receiving
telephone (124).

Abstract: The invention concerns a clip for securing a glazing bead (12) to a window frame (10) and such
a glazing bead. The invention also concerns a method for mounting the glazing bead (12)
to the clip. The clip is provided with first tongues (2) and second tongues (7) intended for
engaging a first groove (23) and a second groove (24) in the glazing bead (12). The invention is distinguished
by it being possible to mount the glazing bead (12) to the window frame (10) by
moving the glazing bead (12) inward against a glass pane perpendicular to the plane of the
glass pane. This means that it is possible with the same system, even with the last
glazing beads (12), to assemble these in a mitre joint with adjacent glazing beads (12) at the
ends of the glazing bead. Furthermore, the security against burglary through the glass
pane is considerably increased as it by and large is impossible to remove the glazing
bead without destroying the glazing bead (12) and removing the clips.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the concentration of a
human breath constituent, such as alcohol, comprises a
hand-held housing having an internal breath passageway
with a first end through a nozzle mounted to the housing.
A sensor module for detecting the constituent is mounted
in the housing and provides an output signal corresponding
to the presence of the constituent to be sensed. A
pressure transducer is coupled to the passageway for
measuring the pressure therein to allow the validity of
the breath sample to be determined. A sonic signalling
element is also mounted in the housing for generation of
indicator sounds perceptible outside the housing to
provide the user with feedback regarding the breath sample
applied. Electrical coupling means in said housing couple
the sensor module, pressure transducer and sonic
signalling element to a remote processor.

Abstract: To treat a material with a heated gas, the heated gas is mixed with an added gas at the point inlet. Part of the heated gas is returned as the added gas for mixing, from the zone behind the fan blower in the gas flow direction. The mixing of the heated and the added gas is spread vertically after the point inlet. The cooler gas is drawn wholly from the recirculating air. The heated gas is steam or the burner gas is at a gas or oil burner. Part of the drying air as a mixing gas is taken from the pressure chamber back into the suction chamber, to be mixed with the heated gas to be fed to the recirculating air. The warmed gas is 160-220 degrees C, the cooler gas is 80-150 degrees C and the heated gas is 2000 degrees C. The volume of the mixing gas is set to give a temperature of the mixture of heated and added gases of 300-500 degrees C (350-450 degrees C). The warmed gas fed back for mixing comprises 7-25% (10-20%) of the heated gas. An Independent claim is also included for an assembly with a mixing station (56,57) near the point inlet (53) for the heated gas. A mixing gas feed channel connects the pressure side of the fan (55) with the mixing station (56,57).

Abstract: A communications method, communications system, communications
device, and server which confirm performance information of a receiver
communications device without negotiating with the receiver communications
device before sending data, and sends an image most suited to receiving capability
of the receiver communications device. The sender reads out performance
information of the receiver communications device stored typically in a server
before sending data, and sends data after converting the format of data to be sent
based on the performance information. The communications device communicates
with the server and sends data in the form of electronic mail and TCP/IP
communications. Since, image data is sent after converting its format to that best
matched receiving capability of the receiver communications device, the receiver
communications device can receive image data best suited to its performance.

Abstract: A difference in feed roller (46) diameter from one printer (14) to another
causes a media to advance by a different amount for a given rotation of a drive shaft (52) to
which the feed roller is coupled. Such variation in advance distance is a linefeed error. Mean
linefeed error is determined and corrected by printing a test plot (80) having several areas (82-90).
Each area is formed of the same image pattern, but is printed at a different linefeed error
adjustment to compensate for mean linefeed error. The different adjustments are prescribed and
span a typical compensation range for a given print engine model. The different adjustment
factors cause banding (92/94) to occur in some areas. The user picks one of the test pattern
areas which has the highest print quality (i.e., least or no banding). The linefeed adjustment
factor corresponding to such area is used for normal printing.
