Abstract: Variable geometry turbochargers comprise a turbine housing having an exhaust gas inlet and outlet, a volute connected to the inlet, and a nozzle wall adjacent the volute. A turbine wheel is carried within the turbine housing and is attached to a shaft. A plurality of movable vanes are disposed within the turbine housing adjacent the nozzle wall, and are positioned between the exhaust gas inlet and turbine wheel. The turbine housing includes a bypass exhaust gas flow port disposed internally therein having an inlet opening positioned upstream from the turbine wheel, and a outlet opening positioned downstream from the turbine wheel. The vanes are positioned adjacent respective bypass ports such that the inlet opening for each port is at least partially covered by a respective vane depending on vane placement. The inlet opening is exposed for facilitating bypass exhaust gas flow through the turbocharger when the respective vane is actuated or moved into an open position. The turbine housing may also comprise a specially configured nozzle wall terminal edge designed to work with vanes having a recessed underside surface to permit additional bypass exhaust gas flow within the turbocharger when the vanes are actuated in an open position.

Abstract: A display for a collectible item, such as a coin, in which the collectible item may be rotated relative to the display. In one embodiment, the display comprises a bubble, which can be a semi-rigid transparent material, supported between at least two layers of support material, which can be a rigid material such as card-stock, which are adhered together. The bubble includes a capsule for encapsulating the collectible item, and a flange extending from an outer perimeter of the capsule. The capsule of the bubble is aligned within an opening in the support material so that the collectible item may be viewed. The flange contacts the support layers, and permits the bubble to be rotated within the display. The display also includes an apparatus for rotatably securing the flange between the support layers, which can be a high-gloss heat-resistant coating applied to the support layers over the areas in which the support layers contact the flange. The display can also include a third support layer between the first and second layers. The third layer has an opening that is slightly larger than the flange, so that the flange is located within the opening. The third layer preferably has a thickness that is substantially equal to the thickness of the flange to help minimize the formation of "humps" in the display caused by the added thickness of the flange. Methods for producing such a rotatable display are also disclosed.

Abstract: There are provided an operation microscope (1) and an observation prism (50) which are capable of conducting a high-visibility observation with less glare. The operation microscope includes an objective lens (11) opposed to an eye (E) to be operated, a front lens (40) which is provided between the eye to be operated and an anterior focal point of the objective lens (11) and condenses illumination light to illuminate an interior of the eye to be operated, and the observation prism (50) disposed near the front lens to observe fundus and its surroundings of the eye to be operated. An oblique surface (51) (refractive surface) of the observation prism has a curved shape in which the curved shape shows a certain negative curvature in a direction to an intersection with a refractive surface. Therefore, aberrations caused on images of entrance pupils of an observation system and an image of an exit pupil of an illumination system can be corrected. The images of the entrance pupils and the image of the exit pupil are sufficiently separated from one another on a cornea of the eye to be operated, so that an observation with less glare can be conducted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the mobile radio communication system where the UMTS and an another system coexist an idle slot for observing the frequency component of another system is inserted in one superframe of UMTS. The duration of this idle slot is at most half of the duration of one frame that form the superframe and it is inserted at an interval of a specified number of frames. Therefore, the frequency component of the another system can be observed securely from the UMTS. Further, deterioration of interleaving performance of the compressed mode frames during such observation can be suppressed.

Abstract: Process for controlling a gas burner (1), especially with a fan (2), uses an electronic control device (3). At initial start-up with a first ignition attempt the control device produces a basic set-up for the signal for the quantity of combustion gas and the quantity of air, which corresponds under probable conditions to a lean mixture. Provided that no flame is observed at the next ignition attempt the combustion gas/air mixture is enriched until a flame is observed. Preferred Features: If a flame is observed at the earliest at the third ignition attempt, the combustion gas feed is immediately interrupted and the procedure is re-started with the basic set-up.

Abstract: A driver for an inductive load such as a solenoid coil 92 includes three FETs 4,6,8. Two of the FETs are reversely connected between battery and output terminals 16, 18, and one of the FETs is connected between output and ground terminals 16, 14. A driver circuit 10 having high and low side control circuitry 58,56 is formed in a common substrate with two of the FETs 4,6. In use, a coil 92 is connected to the output terminal 16, and driven in an energize mode in which current in the coil 92 is built up as indicated by arrow 100, a freewheel mode in which current circulates freely as indicated by arrow 102, and then may be switched off. The reversely connected FETs allow both short circuits to be prevented in the energize mode and allow the coil to be rapidly switched off. In spite of the control circuitry being formed in a common substrate with some of the FETs, the arrangement allows the FETs to be properly driven.
