Granted: 1982-09-15
Abstract: An internal combustion engine comprising a spring-loaded engine valve (13) actuatable by means of a cam (2), a tappet (4) and a push rod (10), the cam (2) having a pre-lift ramp (5) for effecting exhaust braking of the engine. A single piston (6) is slidable in the tappet (4) between a bottom stop (8) and a top stop (7) therein and biased by a spring (9) against the top stop (7) and/or the push rod (10). The tappet (4) has an inlet (14) for hydraulic, control fluid to bias the piston (6) towards the top stop (7). There is also a valve (17) preventing escape of hydraulic fluid from the tappet (4) during exhaust braking. During normal operation of the engine when the pre-lift ramp (5) lifts the tappet (4) the valve (17) is held open and hydraulic control fluid flows from the tappet (4) so that the piston (6) contacts the bottom stop (8) and the engine valve (13) remains closed, whereas during exhaust braking of the engine when the pre-lift ramp (5) lifts the tappet (4) the valve (17) is closed and hydraulic control fluid cannot flow from the tappet (4) so that the pistons (6) remains against the stop (7) and the engine valve (13) opened to effect exhaust braking. <IMAGE>

Title: Lockup torque converter having slip control means
Inventor: MURASUGI TAKASHI
IPC: F16H45/02
Filed: 1983-10-17
Granted: 1986-03-05
Abstract: A torque converter having an engine-driven pump impeller fastened to an input shell and a fluid-driven turbine runner mounted on an output shaft is equipped with a fluid-operated lockup clutch for providing a direct mechanical drive between the input shell and the output shell. The lockup clutch is maintained in a slipping engagement condition in an intermediate speed range. This slipping engagement is controlled by a variable fluid passage whose opening size is determined by an axial position of the turbine runner relative to the output shaft. The turbine runner is rotatable and axially movable relative to the output shaft. The turbine runner and the output shaft have, respectively, flanges which rotates side by side. There are formed, between the flanges, a plurality of pockets which are circumferentially arranged. Each pocket has contoured surfaces, and confines a ball. Each set of the ball and pocket is so formed as to control the opening size of the variable fluid passage by causing the turbine runner to move axially when the turbine runner rotate relative to the output shaft.

Abstract: A wall anchorage device for use in building an extension wall of bricks or building blocks onto a face of an existing wall structure (32) comprises an elongate plate (8; 8a) having a generally flat body portion (10) formed with an upstanding integral longitudinal flange (14) along one edge. In use, the plate is fixed in a vertical orientation to the face of the existing wall (32) so that the longitudinal flange (14) provides. a guide for locating and aligning the end bricks or blocks (29) of the extension wall (30) as these are laid in position in abutting relationship with said body portion (10). The plate (8; 8a) is formed in said body portion (10) with a series of longitudinally directed integral elongate tongues (16; 16a, 16b) spaced apart at intervals and raised at a shallow angle to the plane of the body portion (10). These tongues (16; 16a, 16b) can be bent outwards after the plate is fixed in position during use so as to project substantially at right angles in a horizontal plane so that they can extend into and be embedded and keyed into the joints between adjacent courses of the extension wall (30) during construction thereby to serve as integral wall tie elements.

Date Mar. 18, 1993.An optical transmission system including an interferometer and a source of optical signals. The interferometer comprises a four-pod optical coupler having first and second input ports and first and second output pods, a silica optical fiber coupling the first and second output pods which exhibits the Kerr optical non-linearity, and an erbium fiber optical amplifier situated asymmetrically between the output ports. The source of optical signals is coupled to the first input port of the interferometer. The system is operated in a regime in which the optical signals saturate the amplifier thereby suppressing any oscillatory output, and their power is sufficient to switch an input signal coupled to the first input pod to the second input pod. This provides pulse shaping and amplification characteristics which are relatively insensitive to the input power of the optical signals from the optical source.
