IPC: F02B31/02
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A cylinder direct injection spark-ignition engine in which
fuel is directly injected into a combustion chamber to be ignited by a
spark plug. The engine comprises a cylinder block having a plurality
of cylinders. A cylinder head is fixedly mounted on the block deck of
the cylinder block. The cylinder head has first and second intake
ports and first and second intake ports for each cylinder. A fuel
injector valve is provided for directly injecting fuel into the
combustion chamber formed corresponding to each cylinder. The
spark plug is provided having a tip end section which is projected
into the combustion chamber. A piston is movably disposed in the
cylinder to define the combustion chamber between it and the
cylinder head. The piston is formed at its piston crown with a
generally circular cavity having a center axis which is offset from a
center axis of the piston toward the intake valves. A swirl control
valve is disposed to control air flow in the first intake port in
accordance with an engine operating condition. In the thus arranged
engine, the second intake port has an axis whose at least a major
part is contained in a first vertical plane which inclines relative to a
second vertical plane to form a first predetermined angle, the first
vertical plane gradually approaching the center axis of the piston in
a direction toward the combustion chamber relative to the vertical
cross flow plane. The first and second vertical planes are vertical to
the block deck of the cylinder block. The second vertical plane passes
through the first intake and exhaust valves and is perpendicular to a
third vertical plane containing the center axes of the cylinders and
vertical to the block deck. The first intake and exhaust valves are
located respectively on opposite sides of the third vertical plane.

receiving grooves in which metal terminals are inserted and
received, respectively, from one insertion opening, an upper
wall closing upper sides of the terminal receiving grooves, and
retaining holes formed in the upper wall in such a manner that
the inside and outside of each terminal receiving groove
communicate with each other through the associated retaining
hole, and a flexible retaining arm, formed on and projecting
from the metal terminal, is retainingly engaged in the
retaining hole. In the connector, outer grooves are formed in
an outer surface of the upper wall, and extend from a fitting
face of the housing (for fitting in a mating connector) toward
the insertion opening, and inner grooves are formed in an inner
surface of the upper wall, and extend from the insertion
opening toward the fitting face, and that end of each of the
inner grooves close to the fitting face communicates with that
end of the associated outer groove close to the insertion
opening in a direction of a thickness of the upper wall,
thereby forming the retaining hole.

Abstract: An aircraft automatic braking system processes the flight crew selected
stopping position of the aircraft on the runway via a control display unit (30)
and the aircraft's actual position, provided by a global positioning system (34),
to generate a stop-to-position deceleration control signal in a provided control
logic (36). If the flight crew selects the stop-to-position autobraking mode, the
system determines whether or not a stop-to-position autobraking mode meets
several predetermined criteria and, if the criteria are met, applies a control
signal to the aircraft's braking system (62, 66) such that the aircraft is smoothly
braked tending it to stop at the selected runway stopping position. The system
eliminates the need for pilot lookup in a manual to determine a desired
autobraking setting to choose based on altitude, temperature, approach speed
and runway conditions and also operates to reduce pilot workload during
limited visibility conditions.

Abstract: A connector for ribbon-to-wire conductors includes a clip for holding a
ribbon conductor and a housing for retaining a series of wire conductors. To connect
the system, a ribbon conductor containing exposed conductors on one surface of its
free end is extended over the free end of an upper segment of the clip which is then
inserted into the opening of the housing until a shoulder on the base of the clip
engages the back wall of the housing locking the clip containing the ribbon conductor
to the housing. In another embodiment of the electrical connecting system, a housing
and a retainer snap together to sandwich exposed electrical contacts of two ribbon
conductors and/or electrical surface contacts of a flexible or rigid circuit board. To
connect the system, the ribbon conductors are placed over opposite ends of the circuit
board to engage contacts thereon and the retainer is snapped to the housing. In yet
another embodiment of the electrical conductor connecting system, a ribbon conductor
is placed on a mandrel that has locating posts at its outer edges to align the apertures
of the ribbon conductor with the apertures in the mandrel. To connect the system, a
female connector/wire harness is pushed onto the mandrel so the pins of the female
connector/wire harness pass through the deformable apertures in the ribbon conductor
and the mandrel to provide an electrical connection between the exposed electrical
contacts of the ribbon conductor and the pins of the wire conductors.

Abstract: In the case of an outbound international call
originating from the U.S., an international
communication system at a first switch (130) receives, over a
segment of the communication channel, the calling
party's automatic number identification (ANI) and the
dialed number (DN). The switch then sends a query to a
processor (140) having a previously stored customer
processing records (CPRs). The database at the
processor correlates the call information with the
appropriate CPR; a service identity value is then
inserted into a field which is unused for domestic
calls. Call information including the service identity
value is then transmitted to a second switch. When the
service identity value indicates a service has been
triggered, the transmitted call information is
correlated with the appropriate index in a trigger
table. The service-related values associated with the
matched pseudo-country code are then inserted into the
service-specific parameters. Finally, the service-specific
values are delivered to the called party in
the destination country using the service-specific
parameters. A similar process is performed for an
inbound international call originating from a foreign
country and an international transit call.

Abstract: A technique for the installation of a deck on an
offshore substructure is particularly useful with a
floating substructure. Two independent pontoons (10) each
have two columns (14) spaced apart from each other that
extend upwardly from the pontoon (10). On each pontoon
(10), a support beam (16) attached to the columns (14)
spans the space between the columns. Each pontoon (10) is
provided with ballast tanks (18,20) that allow the pontoons
to be selectively ballasted or de-ballasted to control
pontoon depth for receiving a deck or installing a deck on
the offshore substructure. The pontoons (10) may be
ballasted down during transit of the deck such that the
main body portion of the pontoons is below significant wave
action and the columns (14) present a relatively small
water plane area. The pontoons (10) allow the deck to be
placed directly above the offshore substructure. For a
floating substructure, the pontoons (10) are ballasted
while the floating substructure is simultaneously de-ballasted
to transfer the deck to the floating
substructure.

Abstract: The method involves measuring the required holding force for the rotary drive holder (8). This is compared with the theoretical pulling force based on the weight of the tubes (2,6,7). This force starts with the total weight of the tubes and is successively reduced to the weight of at least a further tube in dependence on the stroke distance covered. A signal is generated when the measured holding force falls to a predetermined value below the force corresponding to the respective stroke distance. Independent claims also cover a protective device for a telescopic tube.
