Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      In a passive restraint system for a vehicle occupant using an inflatable air bag, an open base end of the air bag is clamped between an air bag housing for accommodating the air bag in its folded state and an inflator housing for receiving an inflator for producing the inflating gas therein.  Thus, the base end of the air bag can be attached securely and tightly to the air bag system in a highly simple manner.  The air bag housing diverges toward the opening for deploying the air bag, and the air bag can be therefore rapidly deployed without encountering any substantial resistance from the air bag housing.  Also, the diverging shape of the air bag housing allows the air bag housing to be laterally deformed to absorb the energy of impact applied thereto.

Title: Fuel injector nozzles
Inventor: CALEY DAVID JAMES
IPC: F02M61/08
Filed: 1993-02-17
Granted: 2004-10-26
Abstract: An injector nozzle for a fuel injected internal combustion engine having a selectively openable nozzle for the delivery of fuel to the engine combustion chamber, the nozzle comprising a port (17) having an internal annular surface and a valve member (13) having an external annular surface coaxial with respect to the internal annular surface of the port (17). The valve member (13) being axially movable relative to the port (17) to selectively provide an annular passage therebetween for the delivery of the fuel or sealed contact therebetween to prevent the delivery of fuel. The valve member (13) has a coaxial projection (30) extending beyond the extremity of the external annular surface and positioned so the fuel plume issuing from the nozzle will follow a path based on the external surface (33) of the projection (30) and will pass therealong that external surface (33), to issue from the lower extremity thereof in a substantially coaxial relation to the nozzle. The projection (30) preferably is necked down immediately adjacent the valve member (13) and thereafter is of a converging circular shape, generally of an inverted truncated conical shape.   The projection (30) provides a surface (33) which aids in the control of the fuel plume shape and corrects disturbances to that shape caused by deposits in or on the surface of the nozzle port (17) or valve member (13).

Abstract: For myoelectric proportional control of an electric-motor-powered artificial limb, either proportional speed regulation or proportional gripping force regulation is performed. In proportional speed regulation, the set rpm value is determined from various rpm setpoints. The rpm setpoint is compared with the actual measured rpm of the motor and fed to a proportional-integral (PI) regulator as a system deviation. In the PI regulator, the system deviation is converted into a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) signal and the drive motor is then controlled at an rpm proportional to the actual electrode voltage. The actual current value of the drive motor is measured and compared with a set current maximum which, when exceeded, causes the PI regulator to be switched off. In proportional gripping force regulation, the maximum gripping force is divided into stages, with the actual electrode voltage corresponding to a certain number of stages. Each stage is associated with a pulse-width- modulation (PWM) value and a current shutoff value. Counting takes place from 0 to the number of stages specified by the current electrode voltage. Each PWM value is output with the equivalent current shutoff value. At the same time, the drive motor current is measured and compared with the outputted current shutoff value. When this shutoff value is reached, the counter is increased by 1 and the next PWM value is output. When the counter reaches the number of stages defined by the actual electrode voltage, the set gripping force is reached and the drive motor is shutoff. The current value of the drive motor is measured and compared with a set current maximum which when exceeded, causes the drive motor to shutoff.

A metal foil (20), especially aluminium foil, is also provided for inductive sealing of the first foil (12) at the lip of the opening (11), along with a removable sealing lid (30) that can be screwed back on again. A releasable adhesive control layer (15) between the first foil (12) and the metal foil (20) enables the metal foil (20) to be detached from the first foil after the sealing lid (30) has been removed. An elastic layer (28) is provided between the sealing lid (30) and the metal foil (20).  Between the metal foil (20) and the elastic layer (28) is a separation layer (25), which becomes liquid at induction temperatures, and a suction layer (27). During the induction process the latter absorbs the liquified substance of the separation layer (25). The adhesive control layer (15) does not have such an adjoining suction layer.

In the preferred embodiment, the combination moisture barrier and facecloth layer includes a semi-permeable component, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, which is attached to a facecloth material of a high lubricity filament yarn. The semi-permeable component functions as a moisture barrier and the filament yarn component provides a low friction interface between the garment and its wearer, thereby reducing heat stress imposed on the wearer of the garment during firefighting activity. The filament component also functions as a substrate for the moisture barrier. In the preferred embodiment, the thermal liner includes a layer of apertured flame and heat resistant unicellular or closed cell foam which is positioned between the outer shell and the combination moisture barrier and facecloth. The foam also has a substrate of low-friction woven or knit filament material which faces the outer shell to reduce friction between the outer shell and the thermal liner.

Abstract: The spatial separation of an object from a reference location is monitored utilizing a proximity alarm system which comprises a transceiver station mounted on the object and a repeater station at the reference location. Both stations function to generate and transmit an encoded rf signal in a half-duplex manner, with the transceiver station initiating the process. In one embodiment of the system, a phase delay is measured between a remote signal originating at the transceiver station and a corresponding decoded timing signal received from the repeater station. Correlation of the phase delay with a reference value ascertains the distance between the stations and an alarm at the transceiver station is actuated when the distance exceeds a predetermined value. A second embodiment of the system employs a clock driven counter that is stopped when a predetermined multiple of decoded timing signals is received at the transceiver station in response to iterative transmissions therefrom. The count value of the counter is read and correlated with a transit time reference value to ascertain the distance between stations. An alarm is actuated if the distance exceeds a predetermined maximum.

Granted: 2000-03-07
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus (12) for handling calls in a call center (FIG. 1) predicts (206, 312, 410) a caller's level of motivation for making the call and uses (208-212, 314-330, 412-416) the prediction as a basis for determining how to handle the call. The method and apparatus respond to a call coming in to the call center by determining (206, 306, 404) a number of call attempts -- either all call attempts whether answered or unanswered by an agent, or only unanswered call attempts -- made by the caller to the call center within a predetermined elapsedperiod of time, and possibly also by determining (308-310, 406) other predictors of the level of motivation of the caller in making the call, prior to the call being answered. Based upon the determined number of call attempts and the other predictors of the caller's motivation level, the method and apparatus then select and give (208-212, 314-330, 412-416) to the call one of a plurality of different treatments that could possibly be given to the call -- for example, they select a split to which the call should be queued and/or a priority level for queuing the call. Preferably, the selected treatment is given to the call before an agent of the call center answers the call.
