Granted: 1990-12-27
Abstract: In the case of a drive unit (1) for a motor vehicle (2), especially a commercial vehicle, having an internal combustion engine (4) regulated by an injection pump (3), gearbox (5) and drive train (6) to the driven axles (7, 8, 9, 10) with at least one intermediate distributing differential (11) and/or axle differential (12), a sensor arrangement (13) is fitted which determines the torque (M) in the drive train (6) and, if a predetermined torque is exceeded, in turn controls the injection pump (3) via a control device (14) so as to reduce the fuel injection. Whilst retaining the dimensions of existing drive trains, this provides improved motorisation of the motor vehicle under extreme conditions of use, e.g. uphill running whilst maintaining higher speeds, without damaging the drive train. <IMAGE>

IPC: G01F23/28
Filed: 1987-02-16
Granted: 1989-12-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a system for monitoring, in a cavity in the earth, the position of, or changes in the position of, an interface between two immiscible liquids of different densities. In accordance with the invention, two pipes, one positioned within the other to form a space between them, extends into the cavity in the earth. A probe is mounted on the outer wall of the inner pipe and is vertically positioned near the interface to be monitored. The probe includes an emitting source and a detector-receiver and readings are taken of signals received by the detector after emission by the source and at least partially reflected by at least one of the liquids. From the readings the position of or change in interface may be computed since the signal reading will vary as a function of the relative position of the probe and the interface. The invention may be applied to the monitoring of excavations of underground salt cavities.

Date Jan. 28, 1988.A method and apparatus for the measurement of the properties of fuel gases dependent upon flow and pressure, and more particularly upon the dyanmic viscosity and/or the density of the fuel gases. The apparatus includes a device to control the flow of the fuel gas and at least one flow restrictor in the gasway. The design and the operation of such an apparatus is simplified by the integration of a gas holding device having a capacity which changes in response to the pressure difference between the pressure inside the inner chamber of the device and the ambient pressure. An aneroid capsule element in a line connecting a closeable gas inlet and at least one flow restrictor may be used for this purpose. A time measurement device may be switched on and off as a function of predetermined capacities of the gas holding device.

Patent EP-0285645-B1 (EP)
IPC: H02N6/00
Filed: 1987-09-04
Granted: 1992-03-18
Abstract: A solar cell (10) generates an electrical voltage with contributions from both photovoltaic and thermoelectric effects, when a high thermal gradient is impressed across a semiconductor p/n solar cell. To achieve a substantial thermoelectric voltage contribution, the front side (12) of the solar cell (10) is heated to an elevated temperature consistent with efficient operation of the photovoltaic mechanism of the solar cell, and the back side (14) of the solar cell (10) is cooled to a lower temperature. The magnitude of the thermoelectric voltage contribution is increased by reducing the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the solar cell material, by using face electrodes (24, 26) having the proper thermoelectric potentials in contact with the solar cell material, by increasing the light intensity and thence the heat input to the front side (12) of the solar cell (10) and by cooling the back side (14) of the solar cell (10). The preferred material of construction is gallium arsenide, and the solar cell can be mounted to receive concentrated sunlight on its front side and to be cooled on its back side by enhanced thermal radiation.
