Abstract: A fuel injector has a metal housing with grooves formed
adjacent the interface of the metal housing and a plastic overmold. By
extending the overmold around the grooves, fluid migration past the
interface of the overmold and metal housing is prevented. Fluid
migration is also prevented in the calibration hole of the injector by
forming a thin layer of plastic material at the base of the hole which,
when compressed during staking and calibration, remains as a layer
overlying the metal portions of the inlet connector. The terminal boss
for the windings of the injector also has a plurality of grooves which
during the plastic encapsulation process, are filled with plastic
materials, hence also inhibiting fluid migration past the interface.

Abstract: A system for controlling an in-cylinder fuel injection engine
(1) determines that a high-pressure fuel system is abnormal,
when meeting at least one of conditions that the fuel pressure
Pf of the high-pressure fuel system does not reach a preset
pressure PFS(S24) even if a predetermined period of time
elapses after the engine start-up(S22), that the fuel pressure
Pf of the high-pressure fuel system is not within an ordinary
fuel pressure range defined by the lower limit PFL and the
upper limit PFH after the engine start-up(S27,S28), and that
the fuel injection pulse width Ti continues to exceed the upper
limit TiNGMAX, which can not usually be obtained, for a
predetermined period of time at a lean air-fuel ratio (S30∼
S33). Thus, the abnormality of the high-pressure fuel system
of the in-cylinder fuel injection engine (1) can be accurately

Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic device (1) with a laser amplifier (3) at one side of which are present in the radiation path in that order: a lens (8), a polarization-changing element (17), and a mirror (9) which together with the element (17) form an orthogonal reflector. Both the radiation to be amplified and the amplified radiation issue from the device at the other side of the amplifier (3). Such a device (1) has a very low sensitivity to the polarization of the radiation to be amplified and is particularly suitable for use at very high bit rates. A disadvantage of the known device is that its efficiency is not particularly high and not well reproducible. According to the invention, the lens (8) comprises a magnifying lens (8), and the mirror (9) is present substantially in the image plane of the magnifying lens (8). As a result, the alignment of the amplifier (3) with respect to the lens (8) is much less critical, so that the efficiency is higher and more reproducible. The device is thus not only more suitable for the application mentioned above, but can also be manufactured in a comparatively simple manner. The positioning of the mirror (9) can be used on the one hand for correcting any inaccuracy in the alignment of the amplifier (3) with respect to the magnifying lens (8). Positioning of the mirror (9) is in addition simple, because it is limited to the direction of the radiation path. The angle enclosed by the mirror (9) and the radiation path has substantially no influence on the performance. Preferably, the amplifier (3) itself is already substantially insensitive to polarization. The device (1) according to the invention can thus have a particularly low polarization sensitivity.

IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1998-08-14
Abstract: The idea of this invention is to control different types of network elements with the same management system by connecting the network elements into the management system using a conversion element. The control messages such as alarms and acknowledgments transmitted by the network element via a modem and being dependent on the network element type are directed to the conversion element. The conversion element converts the message transmitted by the network element into a format understood by the management system and then transmits the converted message to the management system. Correspondingly, the management system transmits the configuration etc. messages to the conversion element in its own format. The conversion element converts the message on the basis of the information about the identity of the receiving network element to the format used by the network element and transmits it forward. For the message format conversion, the conversion element uses a conversion file. The conversion file contains information about the message formats used by the different network elements and how the contents of the fields are to be converted from one format to another. When new types of network elements are added to the network, the conversion file is updated by adding the information required for converting the message format of the new network element type to the format understood by the management system.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un fil de guidage ou un cathéter permettant de traverser les occlusions vasculaires et comprenant une tige dotée d'une extrémité proximale et d'une extrémité distale, et un élément de commande également à extrémité proximale et distale, cet élément étant placé rotatif dans et le long d'un axe longitudinal de la tige du fil de guidage. Un actionneur, raccordé à l'extrémité proximale de l'élément de commande, permet de faire tourner ce dernier. Un embout rotatif asymétrique est relié à l'extrémité distale de l'élément de commande et tourne autour de l'axe longitudinal de la tige de cet élément de commande. L'embout rotatif peut comporter une partie saillante qui fait saillie d'un plan défini par une surface externe de la tige du fil de guidage de façon que cet embout rotatif soit asymétrique par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la tige. La partie saillante crée un volume de révolutions au moment où l'embout asymétrique tourne, ce qui permet de traverser facilement une occlusion vasculaire en déplaçant et en exerçant une pression sur le matériau sténotique provoquant l'occlusion. Selon une autre variante, l'embout rotatif peut être symétrique. Un élément d'accouplement peut être relié à l'extrémité distale de la tige et comporter une surface distale formant un angle. Lorsque l'embout comporte une surface d'accouplement formant un angle, la rotation de l'élément de commande soumet l'embout à un mouvement de va-et-vient et rotatif le long et autour de l'axe longitudinal de la tige.

Abstract: The present invention is a digital transmissions receiver
system which includes digital transmissions receiver (10) and
correlation co-processor (12). Optionally, an additional memory
device (14) for storing input and output buffers may also be
included. Communications between the digital transmissions
receiver (10), the correlator co-processor (12), and the optional
memory device (14) are carried out over co-processor interface
(16). The correlation co-processor (12) performs correlation
operations at the request of the digital transmissions receiver
(10). Power consumption in the correlation co-processor (12) is
reduced by performing the requested correlation operations in
stages. The number of stages used is inversely proportional to
the number of gates required to implement the correlation
function. Thus, the more stages used, the fewer gates required.
This, in turn, provides lower power consumption as compared with a
non-staged implementation of the correlation function. Various
types of correlations may be performed as indicated by correlation
control signals received from the digital transmissions receiver
(10). A correlation controller, not shown, included in the
correlation co-processor (12), keeps track of the various stages
and with the data appropriate to each stage. When all stages
necessary to process a particular received signal are complete, 
the recovered symbol rate data is stored in an output buffer, not
shown, to await symbol rate processing by the digital
transmissions receiver (10).
