Patent EP-0898145-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAYLOR ROBERT JOSEPH
IPC: F42B12/06
Filed: 1998-08-20
Abstract: A penetrator having a plurality of stacked penetrator segments is disclosed.
One or more of the segments contains an explosive element. Each segment has a
nose portion and a rear portion. The rear portion of each segment has a rearwardly
opening cavity therein and a plurality of fins pivotally mounted thereon. The
segments are stacked such that the cavity of the forwardmost segment contains the
nose portion of the following segment, and the following segments are similarly
positioned such that the nose portion of each following segment is positioned in the
cavity of the immediately preceding segment. The fins of each segment are
restrained in a stowed position when the cavity of the respective segment contains
the nose portion of a following segment. Upon initiation of deployment of the
penetrator, aerodynamic drag against the tail portion of the rearmost segment
causes the rearmost segment to separate from the stack of segments by withdrawing
from the cavity of the preceding segment, which thereby allows the fins of the
preceding segment to deploy, which in turn causes that segment to separate from
the remaining stack of segments. Each segment aerodynamically separates from the
stack in a like manner, until all of the segments have separated. The penetrator is
then in a fully deployed configuration such that each segment can separately impact
a target. When a segment containing an explosive element impacts the target, the
explosive element contained therein explodes.

Abstract: A nuclear camera system includes oppositely disposed radiation detectors ( 10a, 10b )
which view an examination region  14  wherein a subject  16  is received therein. During
a diagnostic scan, a motor and drive assembly ( 18 ) concurrently moves the detectors
( 10a, 10b ) in a straight path along a longitudinal axis ( 20 ) for a selected time interval.
The radiation detectors ( 10a, 10b ) are positioned at a first angle at which the subject is
viewed and the angle is maintained through the scan. A data processor ( 23 ) collects the
data from the detected radiation and a coincidence circuitry ( 26 ) determines coincidence
radiation events occurring on the detectors  10a, 10b . A first set of image data is
generated for the first angular view and stored in a view memory ( 28 ). A second scan
is performed where the detectors ( 10a, 10b ) are shifted to a second angular view and the
detectors are moved along the longitudinal axis for a second selected time interval.
Radiation data is collected and a second set of image data is generated for the second
scan. The first and second sets of image data are combined and a reconstruction
processor ( 50 ) reconstructs the combined data into an image representation or a whole-body
tomographic image ( 60 ).

Abstract: The printing apparatus of the present invention adopts the technique
of effectively utilizing two or more different types of dots having different ink
densities and different ink weights (dot sizes). The printing apparatus has a
head that provides inks of different densities with respect to at least one color
and creates dots of different diameters. The density per unit area is varied by
changing the combination of the ink density and the dot diameter. In a half
tone area (S400), the lightness of smaller dark dots (S430) is made
substantially coincident with the lightness of larger light dots (S440). Both
the smaller dark dots and the larger light dots are used in the half tone, so as
to prevent banding from occurring in a resulting printed image. The smaller
dark dots and the larger light dots may be arranged according to a
predetermined pattern or at random (S400). The pattern my be set by taking
into account the ink duty of the recording paper.

Inventor: ZUERBIG JUERGEN DR
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: Temperature and volumetric flow rate sensors (5, 4) are directly connected to the reduction control unit (1). These and the NOx sensor (6) are used to determine the quantity of reductant to be injected. There is no recourse to data stored in the engine management system. Dosing of reductant is controlled as a function of the catalyst operational parameters and the exhaust gas composition. Preferred Features: The reductant is urea, supplied from a tank (2) by a pump (3) to the reductant injection valve (7). The reductant controller (1) is built-onto the supply tank (2). As reductant, fuel may be injected (7), the dosing system being connected to the fuel system. A volumetric flow rate sensor is located in the exhaust gas system. Alternatively, a pressure sensor ahead of the reduction catalyst (11, 12) measures exhaust gas pressure, the value being a measure of volumetric flow rate. Differential pressure is alternatively measured across the reduction catalyst, for the same purpose. The reductant controller is directly connected to another exhaust sensor, sensitive to a further component, e.g. NH3 or HC. The NOx sensor (6) has operational temperature-dependent sensitivity to NH3 and/or HC. The controller is also connected to an engine tachometer, used in conjunction with the monitored volumetric flow rate. The tachometer is inductive, relaying information wirelessly to the controller. Its pickup is inductive, self-powered by induction, and floats with respect to vehicle earth. The sensor sensitive to NH3 is located in the reduction catalyst unit. The controller doses sufficient urea to achieve predetermined maximum NH3 and/or predetermined minimal NOx, as indicated by the NOx sensor. The reduction catalyst comprises two or more units in series, the NOx sensor being upstream of the last. The predetermined NH3 or NOx content is a function of the conversion capacity of the catalyst unit following the sensor. Using urea as reductant, the reductant injection valve introduces it into a hydrolysis catalyst, ahead of the reduction catalyst. The urea is injected into the exhaust gas system upstream of the reduction catalyst, hydrolysis being effected in the hot exhaust pipe. The equipment need only be matched to the maximum exhaust throughput and back pressure on the engine, hence obviating measurement on a test stand. The system comes as a self-contained unit for retrofitting or for engines originally developed without NOx-reducing exhaust treatment. The equipment is designed for installation in place of a pre-silencer.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle is driven by either an engine or a motor by tightening or releasing a
clutch interposed between an engine and a transmission. A generator is connected
to the engine, and the engine torque is absorbed by the generator when the power
source is changed over from the motor to the engine. The clutch is tightened when
the engine rotation speed of the motor and the engine coincide. As a result, the
torque input to the transmission is maintained constant, and a shock due to
change-over of the power source is suppressed.

Abstract: In the fastener-chain-finishing apparatus (1), only a
knockout (205) among plural members arranged below a
fastener-chain-transfer path of a space-forming unit (200)
can move up and down but all the other members are not movable.
Consequently, the units below the chain-transfer path can be
compact. Further, main bodies (203b,206b) of movable
grippers (203) and a punch (206) of the space-forming unit
(200), which have a length equal to a space-forming length
of the fastener chain (C) and are arranged above the
chain-transfer path, have end surfaces that are exposed
outside and are flush with each other at least on a side of
a stopper-attaching unit (100) arranged adjacent to them. As
a result, all the operating members of the space-forming unit
(200) can be arranged so as to contact with the stopper-attaching
members of the stopper-attaching unit (100).
Therefore, it is possible to form a space on the slide fastener
chain (C) to which particularly coil-shaped continuous
coupling elements are attached by sewing thread,
simultaneously with attachment of the stopper (S), which was
conventionally impossible to achieve.
