Abstract: In a mechanical fuel pump control device for a diesel engine, air at intake manifold pressure is fed to an actuator that is used to control the amount of fuel being injected into the engine cylinders. The mechanism is designed such that an increase in air pressure reduces fuelling and a decrease in air pressure increases fuelling. By this means the engine's (rotational) speed is held substantially constant at a predetermined value, the variation in (rotational) speed with increasing load (speed droop) being controllable within the design by altering the effective rate of fuel increase for given pressure decrease. This mechanism may be mechanically linked to the operator's main control of engine output in a number of ways. The two most usual ways being: 1. fully independently, so the governor will continue to operate to control engine fuelling if the engine's (rotational) speed falls below the predetermined value (commonly known as idle speed governing), or 2. so the operator adjusts elements within the mechanism such that the governor continues to function to control the fuelling to try to achieve the (new value of) intake manifold pressure (commonly known as all speed governing). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is disclosed for clarifying, by flotation, waters contaminated with suspended matter, wherein the clarification treatment takes place in two successive steps implemented in a single installation. The method principally involves flowing contaminated water through a downflow static flocculation step and then down through a lamellar settler separation step positioned directly below the downflow static flocculation step, the settling rates of the heavier particles of the lamellar settler separation step removing heavier particles from the water retained during the static flocculation/lamellar separation step being less than or equal to the settling rates of the floatable particles. The water which has passed through the static flocculation/lamellar settler separation step is then subjected to a flotation step which removes the light particles in the water of which the settling rate is lower than a flotation cutoff threshold.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically controlled mixer faucet for cold and hot water, in which the control member determining the mixing ratio is moved by an electric motor (7). The purpose is to achieve temperature control which is for the user more convenient than earlier, and an initial temperature which is independent of the previous user. The control of the motor (7) is dependent on a target detected between a source of light (19) and a photocell (20) by the photocell (20). If the photocell (20) does not detect a user, the motor control circuit (13) receives its reference value from a circuit (18) the signal given by which has been set in advance. It is possible to produce by means of a suitable delay circuit (22) a certain delay before this signal is switched on. If there is a user in the detection field of the photocell (20), the control circuit (13) receives its control signal via the press-buttons (14, 15) used by the user and via corresponding circuit means (16, 17) which form control signals. The control circuit (13) receives a signal corresponding to the actual value of temperature via a temperature sensor (23) installed in the water mixing space.

Date Oct. 18, 1990.To measure the concentration in a gaseous medium of a known combustible gas a resistive element in the gaseous medium having a catalytic surface or being sensitive to variations in the concentration of the combustible gas in the gaseous medium is electrically heated, the value of a parameter representative of the gas concentration is detected and there is deduced therefrom, using a conversion law obtained previously by calibration, a measurement of said concentration. The element is heated periodically in cycles comprising a heating phase, a second phase in which the intensity I is controlled in such a way as to maintain the resistive element at a set point temperature and the stabilized value of the voltage U at the terminals of the detector is measured, and a third phase in which the heating power is reduced. On average the power of the electric current flowing during the second phase is substantially less than the heating current power.

Abstract: A multi-band antenna (10) is adapted to receive signals in the AM/FM bands and to receive and transmit signals in a significantly higher frequency band such as that used for cellular telephone. An AM/FM band antenna is formed of a tubular rod (14,16), and a higher frequency band antenna is formed using a center-fed coaxial dipole (12) mounted on top of and coaxially with the AM/FM antenna. The dipole (44,46) is fed by a coaxial rod (48) attached to a coaxial cable (26) extending through the AM/FM antenna (14,16). A cylindrical choke (50) is disposed about the coaxial rod and is spaced a predetermined distance from the dipole antenna to reduce coupling between the AM/FM antenna (14,16) and the high-frequency antenna (12). The choke (50) functions to position the input impedance of the high-frequency antenna at the base of the choke in a manner so that a short matching transformer may be used at the base of the choke for connection to the coaxial cable. In matching the antenna in this manner at the base of the choke, the best possible VSWR characteristics of the antenna are preserved and the radiation pattern of the antenna's main lobe extends horizontally along a horizontal axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for oxidation of aqueous mixtures of organic material, including toxic material in the presence of inorganic materials, by reaction of said material with water and oxygen at supercritical conditions. Oxygen and the aqueous mixture are separately pressurized to greater than about 218 atmospheres, combined to form a reaction mixture and then directed through a tubular reactor having a substantially constant internal diameter. The velocity of the reaction mixture is sufficient to prevent settling of a substantial portion of solids initially present in the reaction mixture and of solids which form during passage through the reactor. The mixture is heated to temperature above about 374° C. in the tubular reactor. A substantial portion of the organic material in the reaction mixture is oxidized in the tubular reactor to thereby form an effluent mixture. Inorganic salts in the effluenet mixture, which are insoluble at conditions of supercritical temperature and pressure for water, are dissolved in a liquid water phase during cooldown of the effluent mixture at an outlet end of the reactor. Inorganic solids that are not soluble in the effluent mixture can be separated from a substantial portion of the effluent mixture by filtration prior to subsequent depressurization of the effluent mixture.

Abstract: A network arrangement and control method where, before any transmission of data occurs for a particular communication, a network controller determines an unused path to provide a connection, advantageously all the way through the network from a given inlet to a given outlet. Once the identity of the unused path is known, the controller determines control information for use in activating that path and transmits that control information into the network, significantly via the network inlets. The network responds by activating the determined path and communication is enabled via the activated path, but only for the single connection and no buffering of information is required within the network. The network is particularly well suited for optical implementation and control is effected without the use of spatial light modulators but rather by means of control elements embedded within the network itself.

Abstract: Ultrasonic sensing systems are incorporated into surgical instruments to monitor operational fields defined by distal ends of the instruments. The instruments include proximal ends for their activation typically including one or a pair of handles which a surgeon grasps and operates, for example by squeezing the handles together or by pivotally moving a trigger portion of the handle relative to a fixed portion of the handle. Circuitry for performing ultrasonic sensing preferably is enclosed in housings defined within the handles of the proximal ends of the instruments. Wiring, preferably running through the instruments, connects the circuitry to transducers formed in or mounted on the distal ends of the surgical instruments. The transducers direct ultrasonic energy to the operational fields defined by the distal ends of the instruments and receive ultrasonic energy reflected from the operational fields. The direction for transmission and receipt of ultrasonic energy is determined by acoustic lenses, angularly oriented transducer mounts or a combination of the two. Signals representative of the tissue or contents of the operational fields of surgical instruments drive audible signal generators or preferably tactile transducers to inform the surgeon of the contents. Tactile transducers are mounted for access by the surgeon, preferably on the handles of the surgical instruments.
