Abstract: An internal combustion engine using variable compression ratio and variable fuel supply to one of two combustion chambers is presented. Varying the compression ratio is accomplished by changing the volume of a single combustion chamber. This, in combination with lean burning, results in a highly efficient prime mover particularly at the low torque outputs needed in passenger car applications. The relationship of compression ratio and fuel feed is varied with engine speed. Burning occurs in two stages, and this results in a clean exhaust. The invention allows very efficient throttling of two-cycle engines to be realized. A concept for supplying air to a two-cycle engine at very good efficiencies is also presented. The combination of these techniques can result in an engine for automotive use that is half the weight of conventional units with a thermal efficiency of 40% or more at average engine output.

Abstract: It has various layers in its structure: the lower layer (2, 2', 2'') is a resistant base of ceramic origin or similar; the upper layer is a lamina (1) with a visible surface. The two are stuck by an adhesive defining a homogenous intermediate layer (3) without the formation of fragile zones due to the absence of air bubbles since the contact face of the ceramic base (2, 2', 2'') is domed, the central point being higher than the rest. For preventing the surplus adhesive from flowing out and becoming stuck to other adjacent tiles, it has been provided for the ceramic base or similar (2, 2', 2'') to include a perimetric flange (5, 5') which will then be eliminated during the phase of machining the edges when formatting the tile. The perimetric flange (5, 5') advantageously incorporates some lateral projections or centring stops (6) of the facing lamina (1) in order to optimise the pressing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided a method and an apparatus for forming and filling a predetermined amount of ice cream having a high viscosity to a carrier element for the ice cream, where a bar of ice cream is extruded out of a supply tube and is formed in correspondence with the carrier element in a forming equipment by a pressing between at least two form parts and simultaneously providing a breakage point in the ice cream bar at the inlet to the forming equipment, whereafter the forming equipment is opened and the ice portion, which is formed thereby at the end of the ice cream bar is transferred directly to the carrier element, whereafter the ice cream bar is broken at the breakage point. Hereby, a process for forming and filling a predetermined amount of rigid ice cream to a carrier is achieved with the possibility of reducing or even eliminating a subsequent cooling before the ice products are transported to a cool storage. By a method and an apparatus according to the invention, it is possible to fill the rigid ice cream directly into a crisp, fragile container, such as a baked waffle without the risk of damaging the container, since the predetermined amount of ice cream is shaped according to the container.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved electrochemical sensor for the detection of an analyte in a fluid test sample. The electrochemical sensor is of the type in which the fluid test sample is drawn into a capillary space and the improvement to the sensor involves an arrangement where a portion of the sensor's counter electrode is placed on the edge of the capillary space in a relationship to the sensor's working electrode such that if the capillary space is not completely filled there will be generated only a very weak current. When the sensor is connected to a properly programmed current detector, the weak current caused by the underfilling of the capillary space will be detected as an error and will notify the user of the sensor that the test should not be continued.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing the disruption of Fibre Channel Fabrics caused by ReConfigure Fabric (RCF) messages is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage area network and a plurality of Fibre Channel Switches arranged in a Fabric. Each of the plurality of Switches includes logic to selectively configure their Ports to either reject or accept RCF messages. When configured to reject RCF messages, the Switch Port that receives an RCF message will generate a reject message along with a reason code explanation “E_Port Isolated”, and then transition into an Isolated state. When the Switch that generated the RCF message receives the reject message, its Port also transition into the Isolated state. In accordance with the method of the present invention, either a Storage Service Provider or a client can access the Switches of the Fabric through either a command line interpreter or a management application. Once access to the Fabric is established, the logic of the Ports of the Switches can be selectively configured to reject or accept RCF messages as described above.
