Patent EP-0869299-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KNOWLES DEAN P
IPC: B60K23/04
Filed: 1998-03-18
Abstract: A twin clutch axle for a motor vehicle defines
independent fluid filled chambers: a pair of spaced
apart chambers each receiving a respective one of the
clutches and a separate, intermediate chamber receiving
a hypoid drive gear. Each of the clutches (120A,120B) is
preferably an electromagnetically operated multiple
friction plate assembly (136,138) and the fluid in the clutch
chambers (210) is like or similar to automatic transmission
fluid. The separate hypoid drive gear chamber (110) is
filled with a gear lubricant or heavy weight oil.
The pair of clutch chambers may be sealed and fully
independent of one another or may be in fluid
communication with one another through, for example,
passageways or a common sump. By utilizing separate
compartments for the clutches and hypoid drive gear,
the lubricants utilized therein can be optimized for
friction clutch and gear operation thereby improving
the performance and service life of the axle.

Abstract: In a recording/reproducing apparatus and a
reproducing apparatus based on a helical scan system for
recording or reproducing a video signal and an audio
signal on or from a magnetic tape (8) by use of a
magnetic head assembly (2-7) mounted on a rotary drum
(1), the recording/reproduction of an audio signal in
both a standard play mode with a tape speed equal to a
standard speed and a long play mode or N-ple play mode
with a tape speed N times (N: an integer not smaller than
4) as high as the standard speed is performed by a common
audio head (6, 7). At the time of reproduction in the
N-ple play mode, the optimum tracking control is
performed by a tracking control system (42) by use of an
output of the audio head (6, 7). At the time of
completion of recording in the N-ple play mode, a video
signal is supplied with a time prolonged corresponding to
the delay of scan of a video head (4, 5) from that of the
audio head (6, 7) so that a video track is surely overwritten
on an audio track. A high-speed fast feed/rewind
speed at the time of N-ple play mode is set to a low
value as compared with the tape speed at the time of
standard play mode, thereby ensuring the detection of an
index signal from the magnetic tape (8) in the N-ple play
mode.

Abstract: A ventilation assembly (30), such as for ventilating the interior
of a motor vehicle body, comprises a frame (32) moulded from
rigid thermoplastics material defining side walls (e.g. 32A), end
walls (32C,32D) and a dividing wall (32E) which form apertures
(34,36) controlled by flap valves (38,40). The flap valves
(38,40) can be moulded  in situ  from flexible material but which
is not compatible with the rigid material of the frame (30) and
therefore does not adhere to it during the moulding process. The
material of the flap valves (38,40) is provided with a series of
holes through which protrude studs having enlarged heads (58,60)
to form hinges (42,44) to enable the flap valves to flex between
open and closed positions. In the closed position, the flap
valves (38,40) seal against seats (50,52). Other embodiments are
shown in which the flap valves (38,40) can be moulded of rigid
material with hinge formations arranged to hingeably interlock
with corresponding formations on the frame.

Abstract: An electrostatographic process cartridge (100) is
detachably mountable into a cavity defined by mated machine
modules forming parts of an electrostatographic
reproduction machine. The process cartridge (100) includes
a housing having walls (102, 104, 106) defining a process
chamber(118) and a rotatable cylindrical photoreceptor (84)
mounted to the walls (102, 104) and horizontally within the
process chamber (118). The cylindrical photoreceptor (84)
has a fixed rotational closed loop path within the process
chamber (118). The process cartridge (100) also includes
plural process components including a toner image
transferring component (68), a cleaning component (80), a
charge erase light component (126), a charging component
(76), an imagewise exposure component (122), and a
development component (92), each acting along the closed
loop path for consistently producing high quality toner
images. The plural components each have a critical acting
position spaced circumferentially along the closed loop
path, and the critical acting positions include a 234°
position for the toner image transferring component (68) so
as to have reliable, precise sheet feeding to an image
transfer point, and a short near vertical sheet path; a 0°
position for the cleaning component (80) so as to prevent
any leaking toner particles from falling backwardly and
down, thus contaminating image carrying sheets moving from
the transfer point to a fusing module; a 96° position for
a ROS beam imagewise exposure component (122) so as to form
a latent image effectively with the ROS beam without
undesirable curvature effects from a cylindrical profile of
the photoreceptor; and a 163° position for the development
component (76) in order to minimize dark decay in the
formed latent image prior to its development.

of the invention are provided with a recording head
(1) for ejecting ink onto a recording medium (2), a
scanning section (9) for moving the recording head
(1) in a predetermined direction to scan the
recording medium (2) and a correction section (12)

recording head (1) to the opposing recording medium
(2). The recording apparatus and the recording
method of the invention can correct the droplet
landing position on the surface of the paper in the
scan direction and produce an image with little dot
position deviation.

such as garage doors (12) comprising a pass-point limit system (400)
which is a component of an operating head (20). An operator
for a rolling shutter or gate can be installed on either

operator, regardless of the direction of travel for
opening the barrier, and regardless of installation
configuration, eliminating the need for the installer to
know which direction the motor is rotating or the barrier
is travelling. The operator automatically learns both
the open and close limits, regardless of direction of
travel and without having to press a learn switch to set

injected common mode signal. Common mode data transmission can be in the
same or opposite direction as the differential data transmission. Common
