Inventor: OBERHEIDE G CLARKE
IPC: E05F15/12
Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: A drive assembly moves a vehicle closure panel from an open to a closed condition. The drive assembly has a housing and a motor mounted on the housing. A drum and gear assembly is rotatably mounted on the housing. The drum and gear assembly has a drum having a helical groove, a gear in driving engagement with the motor, and a spring biasing the drum in a winding direction relative to the gear. The drum and gear have a lost motion connection therebetween. A cable has an end connected to the closure panel and an opposite end connected to the drum about the helical groove in the winding direction. The drum rotates in the winding direction relative to the stationary gear as the closure panel is manually moved from the open to the closed condition with the spring maintaining a cable tension. The drum and gear rotate together in the winding direction upon energizing the motor effecting powered movement of the closure panel to the closed condition. The motor is afterwards energized in an opposite direction counter-rotating the gear relative to the drum back to a start position.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de gestion informatisé d'appariement d'identité. Ce procédé fait intervenir un ordinateur de gestion qui reçoit de la part d'un dispositif de capture en attente une demande en vue du lancement d'un processus de capture biométrique. L'ordinateur de gestion répond en adressant au dispositif de capture, dans un premier point dans le temps, un message renfermant un code unique, message qui, à sa réception par le dispositif de capture, déclenche le processus de capture. Après retour du message, l'ordinateur de gestion reçoit du dispositif de capture des données biométriques capturées, ceci en un second point dans le temps. Lorsque la durée séparant le second point dans le temps du premier point dans le temps est inférieure à un laps de temps prédéterminé, l'ordinateur de gestion entreprend de décoder les données biométriques et déclenche un processus de mise en correspondance des données biométriques capturées et de données figurant dans des fichiers stockés et génère un code d'identification lorsqu'il y a appariement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for operating an internal combustion engine. The method involves adjusting closing timing of the inlet valve to control the value of lambda from cycle to cycle by:
     measuring a lambda value and determining a required change of the lambda value for a subsequent combustion cycle;   generating an adjustment signal for adjusting IVC timing for a subsequent cycle based on the required change of the lambda value;   determining if IVC timing will occur early or late with respect to a switching point at which maximum filling of the cylinder is achieved for said subsequent cycle, and   changing the polarity of said signal if the signal causes a switch between early and late IVC timing.

IPC: G01R23/10
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: The present inventions overcomes a drawback that although it is necessary to increase frequency of a reference clock to perform the measurement of output frequency of a resonant pressure sensor speedily with high resolution, the increase of frequency gives rise to an increase of the power consumption and hence, the use of a two-wire differential pressure/pressure transmitter is difficult. A time difference signal having a pulse width corresponding to the time difference between an output of a resonant pressure sensor and a reference clock is prepared. The pulse width of the time difference signal is expanded by a given magnification. Based on a count value obtained by counting the reference clock during the expanded pulse width and a count value obtained by counting the reference clock during one cycle of the output of the resonant pressure sensor or a period which is integer times as long as the one cycle, the output frequency of the resonant pressure sensor is obtained. It is possible to obtain the fast processing and the high resolution without increasing the frequency of the reference clock.

Abstract: A two-speed gerotor motor (10) including motor valve means (19,43) to communicate fluid to and from expanding (33E) and contracting (33c) fluid volume chambers. The motor includes a shift valve spool (61) to cause the motor to operate either in the normal, low-speed, high-torque (LSHT) mode (FIG. 3) or in a high-speed, low-torque (HSLT) mode (FIG. 4). When the motor operates in HSLT mode, certain of the volume chambers comprise recirculating volume chambers (33R). The motor (10) defines a supplemental fluid passage (89) through which fluid is communicated from a system charge pump (73) to each of the recirculating volume chambers (33R). A control valve (83) is operable, in a shift mode (S) to permit fluid communication from the charge pump (73) to the supplemental fluid passage (89), thus preventing cavitation during shifting of the motor (10), especially when shifting from the HSLT mode to the LSHT mode.

Abstract: An aqueous coating fluid is described comprising gelatin at a
concentration of at least 1 wt% and gelatin hardener at a level from 1-200
effective µmole hardener per gram of coating fluid, wherein at least 20% of the
gelatin comprises a gelatin prepared from hydrolysis of ossein using sodium or
potassium hydroxide. Relative improvements are obtained in reducing the rate of
chemical gelation of a coating fluid containing gelatin and a hardener, without the
need for chemically modifying functional groups of the gelatin. The invention
further enables an increase in coating fluid concentration, increase in the fluid
viscosity, reduction in the ratio of added anionic polymer to gelatin, and/or
increase in the pH of a coating fluid containing gelatin and a hardener, without
detrimentally increasing the rate of chemical gelation of the coating fluid. The
invention also enables the inclusion of relatively more reactive hardeners in a
coating fluid containing gelatin, and/or the inclusion of relatively higher
molecular weight gelatin in a coating fluid containing hardener, without
detrimentally increasing the rate of chemical gelation of the coating fluid. Each
such advantage may be achieved either individually, or in combinations to varying
extents.
