Abstract: A sensor measuring the partial oxygen pressure in furnace exhaust gas has an active layer of palladium. When the sensor is maintained at a particular temperature, for example about 700 DEG  C., the palladium changes to palladium oxide at a specific air number, namely 1.2. The change from palladium to palladium oxide and vice versa causes a change in conductivity by a factor of approximately 20. This change in conductivity is a clearly defined output signal which can be adjusted to occur at any desired air number in the region from 1.05-1.4, depending upon the temperature at which the sensor is maintained. Two sensors may be used, each maintained at a different temperature so that a control region is defined as the air number region wherein the sensor maintained at the lower temperature is oxidized while the second sensor is reduced. Preferably, the active layer consists not only of the metal oxide but also of a ceramic component such as cerium oxide which is doped with 0.5-10% by volume of Nb2O5 or Ta2O5.

Abstract: An electrical switch having spaced stationary contacts and a contact carrier carrying a bridging contact in linear reciprocation relative to the stationary contacts, with the bridging contact biased toward the stationary contacts. The bridging contact has spaced opposite contacting ends forming a leading contact end and a trailing contact end for sliding movement between a bridging position where the contacting ends contact their respective stationary contacts, and a non-bridging position where the leading contact end is out of engagement with its stationary contact. The bridging contact is rotatably hinged to the contact carrier and a projection is disposed between the stationary contacts for engagement with the leading contact end for pivoting and lifting the leading contact end from its stationary contact in coaction with the hinged connection with a quick break action during movement of the contact carrier to the non-bridging position. 
     Each conductor wire connected tothe switch is releasably secured therein by a spring-like retainer blade biased diagonally against the wire. Each retainer blade has a release arm for deactivating the retainer blade thus permitting easy withdrawal of the conductor wire. The release arm has a laterally extending handle lug on its exteriorly exposed free end to provide a handle and also to provide for engagement with the switch housing to limit inward movement of the release arm. The inner end of the release arm is beveled to provide a plane-to-plane contact with the retainer blade for a positive contact therewith.

Abstract: A data processing system is described comprising a cyclic bulk storage device attached to a CPU and a main storage through standard channel facilities including a channel control unit. The storage device is divided into a plurality of randomly accessible pages each page being subdivided into two sequentially and cyclically accessible Sectors 0 and Sector 1. Data is transferred byte by byte between a selected page of the device and a specified one-page data area (labelled Real Page) in the main storage. A channel program is constructed using three channel command words (CCWs); a Seek Page command (CCWI) followed by two different Read or Write commands CCW2. CCW3. At the end of the Seek Page operation, (CCWI) the control unit determines which of Sector 0 or 1 is more immediately accessible. If it is Sector 0 a branching control signal given to the channel causes the channel to chain to the second command CCW2, but if it is Sector 1, a different control signal given to the channel causes it to skip over the second command CCW2 and chain to the third command CCW3. When chained to the second command CCW2, the channel executes the transfer of one page of data in normal sequence, i.e. Sector 0 first and Sector 1 next. When chained to the third command CCW3, the channel executes the data transfer in reverse sequence. i.e. Sector 1 first and Sector 0 next. Such sector transfers are selectively controlled by indirect data address words (IDAWs) addressed by addresses IDAW1 and IDAW2 contained in the commands CCW2 and CCW3. Following transfer of a complete page, the control unit generates a signal combination causing the channel to chain to a first command CCW1 in a second program of three commands CCW1, 2 and 3.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium using vacuum-deposition from an evaporated metal source having a very high efficiency and uniform deposition. The support (W) onto which the magneticfilm is to be evaporated is guided and conveyed along a curved path above a molten metal evaporating source (1,2) at a substantially constant speed. The curved path is shaped such that evaporated metal flow lines connecting a central point on the evaporation surface of the molten metal in the evaporating source (1,2) to corresponding intersection points on the support (W) form the same angle of incidence with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support (W) for all positions along the support (W) where the film is to be deposited. Endless belt structures (11, 11') including guide rollers and magnets (13,13') are used to form rising and falling paths for conveying the support along the desired curved path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid distributor which has a forward run chamber (1) and a return run chamber (2) (Fig. 1). The two chambers lie on top of one another and the connecting pipes (7) leading to the chambers are guided out on one side of the fluid distributor. To this end, some of the connecting pipes are guided through the forward run chamber (1) to the return run chamber (2). In order that as low as possible a heat transmission takes place between the forward run chamber (1) and the return run chamber (2), the two chambers are arranged at a given distance from one another. Between the two chambers, an insulating layer is arranged for heat insulation. Moreover, the connecting pipes (7) which are guided through the forward run chamber (1) are also insulated in relation to the forward run chamber (1). To this end, there are provided in the forward run chamber (1) lead-ins (8), the internal diameter of which is greater than the external diameter of the connecting pipes (7) guided through them. As a result of the good heat insulation between forward run chamber (1) and return run chamber (2), the fluid distributor according to the invention is particularly suitable for district heating, in which high forward run temperatures occur and at the same time very low return run temperatures must be maintained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This specification discloses a method for generating a table of engine calibration control values for an adaptive spark and EGR control strategy. The adaptive strategy adjusts spark timing and magnitude of EGR as a function of engine energy usage per distance traveled while maintaining feedgas emissions at a constant level over a wide variety of driving patterns including urban, suburban and highway. This adaptive strategy has advantageous fuel consumption characteristics which are greatest at the most constrained feedgas levels. Drivability can be enhanced because of the greater calibration flexibility inherent to the adaptive technique.

Abstract: © The mixing of liquids and liquid suspensions in vessels is obtained by a mixing impeller mounted on a shaft and rotated by a drive which delivers selected speed and torque. The torque and power needed to obtain given flow is minimized by a low-cost impeller having a plurality of blades, each formed from a plate of constant thickness except for a leading edge of rounded profile. Each blade has camber which decreases from the tip to the base thereof. The base can be flat to facilitate the attachment of the blades to the shaft. The blades are oriented and twisted to be at the threshold for flow separating along the width of the blades from the leading to the trailing edge thereof, thereby providing maximum flow in the axial direction before the onset of said separation. The orientation and twist of the blades provides a generally constant angle of attack along the entire blade from tip to base and the planform of the blade provides for uniform loading, stability and minimization fo fluid forces which tend to bend the shaft.
