Title: Check valve for introducing a liquid to be sprayed to a pump chamber, and its use
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 1990-01-05
Granted: 1993-06-23
Abstract: Some precompression pumps currently used for spraying a liquid include a non-return valve formed by a gasket (3) held captive between the base of the pump body (1) and a sleeve (2). This non-return valve determines the extent to which the pump chamber (19) is isolated from or put into communication with a supply of liquid, as a function of whether the gasket (3) bears against the base of the pump body (1) or against the sleeve (2), closing a central hole through the pump body or being held off a central hole through the sleeve. In order to make valve operation more reproducible the present valve has the following features: the base of the pump body (1) is in the form of a cup (18) of small slope; the side wall (28) of the sleeve (2) flares from the end (26) of the sleeve (2) and has a local swelling (27), with the side wall (28) being of reduced thickness on either side of the swelling (27 ); and the end (26) of the sleeve (2) includes a tongue (25) and two ribs (2b), the tongue (25) and the ribs (2b) extend from the side wall (28) of the sleeve (2) all they way to its central hole (2a), the tongue (25) is diametrically opposite the swelling (27) and it is thickest adjacent to the central hole (3a), the ribs (2b) are disposed symmetrically about the diameter passing through the swelling (27) and the tongue (25) such that each of them forms an acute angle with the diameter on either side of the swelling (27).

Abstract: The assembly comprises a tool holder (3) for a tool (1) such as a punch, a drill or a sewing-machine needle, and a clamping head (4) mounted on the end of a spindle (2), in particular a needle bar. The tool holder comprises an insert which rests on a seat (4a) of the head and is movably supported by it by means of the operation of two jaws (6a and 7a), one of which is provided at one end with two toggle levers (6 and 7) located on the body of the clamping head (4) and subject, at their other end, to a spring which acts to keep the jaws in a clamped position. An accurate positioning of the tool holder on the seat is obtained by the engagement of the upper edge of the tool holder in the bottom of a groove provided in the upper portion of the wall of the seat, and by maintaining this engagement by means of the thrust from tabs (10a and 10b) of a leaf spring (10) fixed to the head (4), against dog points (3f and 3g) of the tool holder (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a superconducting connection of the filaments of an Nb3Sn and an NbTi conductor to a block made of pressed Nb- and Sn-containing powder which has been subjected to a reaction annealing, in which the filaments of the Nb3Sn conductor are embedded and on whose surface the filaments of the NbTi conductor are mounted, and to a method for manufacturing such a connection. The object of the invention is to propose a simple method for manufacturing such a superconducting connection with a current carrying capacity of > 200 A at 3 T and to propose a superconducting connection. According to the invention, the object is achieved in that a pressed-on layer of a deformable metal is connected to the block and the filaments of the NbTi conductor mounted on its surface in such a way that the block, the filaments of the NbTi conductor and the layer of the metal form a firm connection. The essential steps in the method for manufacturing this connection relate to the use of a CuSn foil which is pressed onto the block before the reaction annealing, and the pressing-on of a metal die which enters into a firm connection to the block and the intervening NbTi filament after the reaction annealing.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine comprises: a valve operating system (18) connected to a pair of intake valves (VI1, VI2) and arranged mainly when in a low speed rotation region of the engine to open one of the intake valves (VI1) by only a small amount such that the one intake valve (VI1) is brought into a substantially inoperative state during a suction stroke; a fuel injection valve (55) capable of injecting fuel toward a pair of intake ports (8) independently corresponding to the intake valves (VI1, VI2); and a control means (67) for controlling the operation of the fuel injection valve (55), the control means (67) being arranged to control the fuel injection valve (55), with a fuel injection completion time ( THETA FE) determined within a suction stroke, when one of the intake valves (VI1) is in the substantially inoperative state. This ensures that when one of the intake valves (VI1) has been brought into its substantially inoperative state, the injection of fuel by the fuel injection valve (55) can be completed when in the suction stroke, so that the injected fuel can be sequentially introduced into a combustion chamber (5) in a condition of the other intake valve (VI2) being open, thereby achieving an axially stratified air charge to provide improved combustibility. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A transimpedance receiver for broad band optical signals, such as carry multichannel CATV signals or broad band data over an optical fiber which may vary in length (e.g. from 2 km to 20 km) such that the optical power at a photodetector of the receiver may vary widely depending upon where the receiver, and is installed in the fiber optic distribution system utilizes a broad band device, preferably a GASFET, the internal capacitance and gain of which enables amplification over the broad band frequency range without oscillation. Different values of transimpedance for converting the current signal from the photodetector into an output voltage at the output (the drain) of the device which is in a range within which the device is linear, and does not introduce distortion into the signal, is obtained by connecting, between the output and the input of the device, a feedback resistor selected from a group consisting of resistors of different value each dependent upon the optical power of the optical signal applied to the photodetector. The output voltage is coupled to an electrical transmission line which may be a low impedance coaxial line using a buffer amplifier incorporating a device of the same type as used in the transimpedance amplifier which has connected thereto networks for controlling the spectral response of the receiver so that it remains essentially flat over the broad band frequency range.

Abstract: Des soupapes d'admission multiples, associées de manière fonctionnelle dans une chambre de combustion commune présentent des avantages dans la mesure où la conception permet d'obtenir un rendement élevé pour un moteur à combustion interne. La culasse modifiée décrite utilise les avantages du système de soupapes d'admission multiples, mais améliore davantage la conception en réduisant le rejet de chaleur. Dans la culasse modifiées trois soupapes d'admission (38, 40, 42) auxquelles correspondent des orifices (26, 28, 30) de soupape d'admission et une soupape d'échappement (68) à laquelle correspond un orifice (66) de soupape d'échappement, sont associées de manière fonctionnelle dans une chambre de combustion commune.
