Abstract: The present application relates to an injector for use in an internal combustion engine designed to work with fuel/emulsion. Two fuel inlet passages, which are connected to a multichannel distributor and used for feeding fuel from a high pressure hose, are linked with a mixing unit surrounding the nozzle needle. Downstream of the multichannel distributor, in the vicinity of the mixing unit, a make-up liquid inlet passage is connected to a second fuel inlet passage through which the make-up liquid, especially water, is fed to produce emulsified fuel. An amount of make-up liquid V, fed during a pause between two injections from the first make-up liquid supply passage to the second fuel inlet passage, is entirely injected during the following injection phase by the high pressure fuel, supplied as a make-up fuel by a shift valve device, into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, so that the second fuel inlet passage and the fuel capacity of the injector are both entirely flushed by the make-up fuel, thereby preventing, during the working breaks of the internal combustion engine, any corrosion by water rests from the emulsion which might remain in the injector.

Abstract: A system for guidance and/or switching of a vehicle or other object comprises a guideway, a guide plate that moves along the guideway, and a magnetic field source that induces a magnetic force between the guide plate and at least a portion of the guideway over which the guide plate is moving. The guide plate is attached to the vehicle or coupled to its steering systems. The magnetic force centers the guide plate along the guideway by opposing any lateral deviation from center. The magnetic field source is a permanent magnet, an electromagnet (including a superconducting magnet) or any other known magnetic field source. It is preferably included in, or forms part of, the guide plate. Likewise, the guide rail preferably comprises ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material, i.e., a material that forms a temporary magnet in the presence of the magnetic field of the source. Thus, for example, one aspect of the invention provides a system of vehicle guidance in which the guide plate comprises an arrangement of permanent magnets that slide over a ferromagnetic, e.g., steel, guideway rail.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing time-walking in a digital switching network when switching from a first clock to a second clock. The first and second clock can be identical in frequency and independent in phase, where the highest resolution frequency available is that of said first and second clock. The system can include a clock divider selection circuit, an enhanced digital phase aligner, and a clock select control circuit. The clock divider selection circuit can output an on-line divided clock and an off-line clock to the enhanced digital phase aligner. The enhanced digital phase aligner can sample the on-line divided clock with four phases of the off-line clock and output an off-line divided clock which is time shifted such that the off-line divided clock is in phase with the on-line divided clock within plus or minus one-half the clock period of the off-line clock. The clock select control circuit can receive the on-line divided clock from the clock divider selection circuit, the off-line divided clock from the enhanced digital phase aligner and a smoothed clock. When a request is made to switch between clock one and clock two, the clock select control circuit can evaluate the on-line divided clock and the off-line divided clock with the smoothed clock and output a clock select control signal to the clock divider selection circuit based on this comparison. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An emergency extrication collar comprising a flexible band for encircling the wearer's neck, a chin support member which may be readily adjusted in elevation with respect to the band so as to permit adjustment to fit patients having varying neck sizes. The chin support member is connected to the band by a post which is slidably connected to a vertical strap on the band, and such that the elevation of the chin support member above the post, and thus the neck size of the collar, may be adjusted by simply sliding the post and chin support upwardly to any selected size between the size extremes. A pawl and ratchet interconnection between the post and strap precludes movement in the opposite direction. The collar is secured in its adjusted size by a locking arm which is pivotally mounted on the post, and movement of the locking arm to its release position also releases the pawl and ratchet interconnection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the non-disruptive addition of one or more nodes to an active inter-nodal network is provided. A telecommunications switching system includes a plurality of nodes interconnected by an inter-nodal network which carries packetized information among the nodes. A host which issues various control instructions is connected to at least one node in the system. When one or more new nodes are to be added to the system, the two nodes adjacent to the location selected for the new node are instructed to begin a synchronized routine for simultaneously beginning to temporarily operate in a special loop back mode of operation which allows telecommunications traffic to continue to travel on the inter-nodal network while the new node or nodes are being physically connected into the system. Thereafter, a sequence of instructions provides for a synchronized routine for both neighbor nodes to return to open operating mode from loopback mode simultaneously. The instruction sequences are issued by a host and a master node of the system for implementing the non-disruptive addition of the new node or nodes to the system.
