IPC: H01Q1/28
Filed: 1993-06-18
Abstract: A method of guiding an armed flying body (1) with a target-seeking head towards a ground or sen surface target (3) comprises the step of causing the flying body during its target approach phase to fly on a curved flight path (2), wherein the ratio of the signals reflected from the ground target to the clutter of the ground is kept constant or at least nearly constant in the mean on the curved flight path. The path vector (21) of the flying body in that case points in the direction of the ground during the target approach phase. As described FLSAR radar with aerials fixedly connected to the structure of the body is employed. Alternatively an optical system may be used. … <IMAGE> …

Title: Sliding panels
Inventor: KENT ROBIN JOHN
IPC: E05D15/08
Filed: 1993-07-03
Abstract: Various improvements to sliding panels are disclosed. In a first aspect, an elongate bottom section 6 for a sliding panel is provided, the section having an upturned U-shaped cross-section so that roller assemblies can be placed within the section at any desired position. According to a second aspect, a cover plate (11 or 12, Fig 2) for a sliding panel is provided, the cover plate fitting over an otherwise exposed structural fitting of the panel so that with the panel closed, the cover plate cannot be readily removed, thus enhancing the security aspects for interalia sliding patio doors. A frame for patio doors is provided (Fig 5) for on-site assembly from reinforced top, middle and bottom channels, upper and lower glazing panels and vertical side channels. A further improvement which is directed to providing enhanced security, comprises an adjustable height blocking mechanism (18, Fig 3) for positioning within a top retaining channel of a sliding panel assembly, the arrangement being configurable into a first configuration to allow insertion of the sliding panel between top and bottom retaining channels and then reconfigurable into a second configuration so as to limit upward movement of the sliding panel when the panel is in a closed position. <IMAGE>

Title: Fuel pump
Inventor: INOUE HIROSHI
IPC: F02M59/44
Filed: 1995-06-23
Abstract: In a fuel pump for feeding a fuel injection rail, a protruding portion (50) is formed integrally on a lower portion of a cylinder (11) so as to protrude from the cylinder. A seal member (70) has a tubular shape with an end. A hole is disposed at the end. Around the hole, a lip portion (74) made of resilient material is disposed. The lip portion (74) can thin a fuel-oil film covering an outer peripheral wall of a plunger (43) which reciprocates in the bore 11a of the cylinder. The amount of leakage of fuel or oil from the bore is thereby reduced. Because the protruding portion (50) can be formed compactly and of thick plate thickness, the seal member (70) can be press-fitted on to the protruding portion (50). Also being integrally formed with the cylinder (11), deformation during heat treatment of the cylinder (11) is reduced, and machining of the bore (11a) is simplified. <IMAGE>

Title: Control system for internal combustion engine
Inventor: SHIMASAKI YUICHI
IPC: F02P17/00
Filed: 1992-12-18
Abstract: A control system for an internal combustion engine determines ignition timing of the engine and generates an ignition command signal (A) to generate a high voltage for discharging a spark plug (16) provided for each cylinder of the engine. The control system detects sparking voltage generated across the spark plug (16) by sensor (17) when the high voltage is generated. The control system measures a duration over which the sparking voltage across the spark plug (16) exceeds a predetermined reference value (VCOMP), after generation of the ignition command signal (A). The control means detects an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine based on the duration measured, by means of a sub-routine (Fig. 13 not shown). <IMAGE>

IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 1996-02-20
Abstract: A method of creating a library of standardized spectral data and identifying a sample of searching the standardized library for a match with the sample spectrum is disclosed. This method provides enhanced library searching capabilities. A method of correcting for instrumental changes that influence the spectral response of a mass spectrometer over time is also disclosed. The methods entail determining and applying a transfer function which equalizes instrument bias between instruments and within the same instruments over time. A transfer function is specific to a particular instrument, and is based on the relationship between a reference spectrum of a standard as stored in a library and a spectrum of the standard obtained on the particular instrument of interest.
