Title: Integrated sensor assembly for vehicle containing plurality of sensor types and theft deterrent LED
Inventor: ZIMMER CLAES
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2008-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor module (4) for use in a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprising a circuit board (30), at least one passenger compartment temperature sensor (50), at least one solar irradiation detection sensor (34, 36, 44). The solar radiation sensors may be separated by a wall 32. Said sensor module (4) further comprises at least one ambient light detection sensor (38, 46) and at least one content theft deterrent means (40). The ambient light detection sensor may be used for automatic activation and deactivation of headlights. The content theft deterrent means may comprise LED 40 to indicate the presence and readiness of an alarm system. The sensor module may be used for the control of air conditioning devices. The sensor module may be mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle, close to a front windscreen. Integrating these sensors into a single sensor module saves costs by allowing the same sensor mounting to be used in differently equipped vehicles rather than designing different types of interior panels for each different equipment variant.

[Also in Division B3] Ceramics having open porosity are prepared from powders, particularly powders of fissionable materials such as oxides of U, Pu and Th, by compressing the powder at a pressure P to obtain granules which are then crushed and sifted and subjected to a second compression at pressure p (P p) to obtain a compact which is sintered, e.g. at between 1300-1700 C. In an embodiment, the starting material is a U0 2  powder with a specific surface area of 3-15 square metres/gm. and the pressure P is 5-9 metric tons/sq. cm. The granules made by the first compression are between 50-100 microns in diameter and are preferably subjected to a spheroidization process. The pressure p in the second phase is 2-5 metric tons/sq. cm. and the pressure difference P-p is suitably greater than 1 metric ton/sq. cm. The percentage of open porosity varies between 5-20% and the closed porosity between 2-3% of total volume. The product may be impregnated with a metal, alloy or a pyrocarbon to form a cermet (see Division B3).

Filed: 1937-04-09
Abstract: 473,409. Sewing machines. GREIST MFG. CO. April 9, 1937, No. 10176. Convention date. Oct. 7. 1936. [Class 112] A ruffler comprises a ruffling blade 15 reciprocated by an arm 13 pivoted on a frame 10 and having a shoulder 17 adapted to be actuated by one of a pair of pawls 30, 31 pivoted on a pin 29 carried by a lever 11 which is rocked by the needle bar. The pawl 31 engages the shoulder 17, and the pawl 30 engages a ratchet wheel 22, provided with two deep notches 23 separated by five shallow notches 24. One or both pawls may be moved to inoperative position by a lever 37 provided with a cam 38 and pivoted between the ends 35 36 of the pawls. When the end of the lever 37 enters a slot 41 in the lever 11, it holds both pawls inoperative. When the pawl 30 engages the shallow notches 24, the pawl 31 is out of contact with the shoulder 17, and no movement of the ruffling blade occurs. When it engages the deep notches 23, as it will every sixth stroke of the lever 11, the pawl 31 will engage the shoulder 17, and the ruffling blade will be operated as a six-stitch ruffler. If one of the notches is covered by a pivoted mask 25, the ruffler is operated every twelve stitches. If the lever 37 is operated to raise the pawl 30 out of contact with the ratchet while leaving the pawl 31 in contact with the shoulder 17, the ruffler is operated at every stitch.

Abstract: 371,153. Photo - sensitive material. KALLE & CO. AKT.-GES., 23, Rheinstrasse, Biebrich-on- Rhine, Germany. April 7, 1931, No. 10285. Convention date, April 4, 1930. [Class 98 (ii).] Material sensitized with diazo compounds alone or in conjunction with azo components is protected by applying with adhesive on the sensitive face or on both faces, a transparent sheet of a cellulose derivative, such as an ester or ether, or a sheet of cellulose hydrate lacquered on both sides with a cellulose ester or ether varnish. The material may comprise a base of paper, linen, paper, or cellulose hydrate sensitized by coating thereon an aqueous solution or a gelatin emulsion of the sensitizing agent, or by incorporating the agent in the mass. Sensitizing materials such as are described in Specification 210,862, [Class 98 (ii), Photographic processes &c.], may be used. The protective layer may be attached by means of an adhesive comprising a solution of a natural or artificial resin in an organic solvent, preferably with the addition of a softening agent. Development may be effected with ammonia gas, or with liquid by the "wet" or "half-wet" process ; if with liquid, this is preferably caused to act through the base. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) refers also to protective coatings of a similar nature, and includes material sensitized with silver salts or bichromates. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: A new or improved mixing device for delivering liquid mixtures
IPC: F24F6/12
Filed: 1958-03-31
Abstract: 878,643. Mixing liquids. LAMBTON, C. W. March 26, 1959 [March 31, 1958; Sept. 29, 1958], Nos. 10316/58 and 31101/58. Class 86 Apparatus for adding a liquid, e.g. perfume, soap, detergent, deodorant or antiseptic, to a flowing liquid. e.g. water, utilizes a Venturi suction effect to draw the liquid to be added from a space which is charged by puncturing a capsule containing the liquid. In Fig. 5, a number of capsules 13 are supported by a rotable magazine ring 28 which is indexed into a position, determined by a spring-detent 21, in which the selected capsule is aligned with a piercer 37 having a slot 40 which, when the capsule is completely impaled, allows air to enter the top and liquid to leave the bottom of the capsule. The discharged liquid collects in the space 41 from which it is drawn through the passages 53, 51 into the Venturi tube 43. The mixed liquids may be discharged through a spray head. As shown, the Venturi tube 43 is mounted ball- and-socket wise to permit limited rocking, but, in .another embodiment, this is dispensed with and the discharge is through a fixed co-axial spray head. In Fig. 5, a groove 50 permits the passage 53 always to be in communication with the passage 51 during the rocking. The spray head consists of a casing 56 which receives liquid from the mixer and delivers it through a passage 109 to a space 110 in communication with an inner spray nozzle 107 and, when the lever 117 is operated to move the flange 104, with the outer nozzle 57. The lever 117 is on a shaft carrying an eccentric disc cam 113 and a crank pin 114, the cam 113 engaging a slot in a sliding sleeve 105 carrying the flange 104 and the pin 114 engaging a groove 116 in a plunger 108 carrying the inner spray member 107. The sprays are produced in grooves 106, 107 surrounded by packing rings 57a, 107a, and to prevent back pressure, when a fine spray is produced, the plunger 108 is connected with a tapered member 58 which moves to restrict the Venturi when the quantity of liquid being sprayed is reduced. The spray head 56 may be replaced by a simple spray rose, or the double spray means may be replaced by a single spray nozzle which is axially adjusted by screw means, so that the Venturi-constricting means and the spray nozzle are adjusted together. The capsules may be of gelatine, plastic or alginate material, and if they are liable to damage by heat from a hot liquid flow, an insulating bush may separate the magazine ring from the conduit 26. Specification 878,644 is referred to.
