Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE96/00787 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 6, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 6, 1997 PCT Filed May 6, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/35086 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 7, 1996The invention relates to method and an arrangement for utilizing the heat comprised i the exhaust gas of the combustion chamber of a heating and refrigerating engine working on the basis of a regenerative cyclic gas process by preheating the combustion air supplied to the combustion chamber, with the process gas, which is displaced from the hot working volume or supplied to this working volume, flowing through a regenerator arranged inside of a pressure-proof housing in the region of the hot piston. In order to achieve an effective utilization of the exhaust gas heat without additional apparatus complexity and without insulation of the engine in the region of the warm regenerator while maintaining the temperature profile necessary for the operation of the regenerator, the combustion air to the cooling of the pressure vessel wall surrounding the lower section of the regenerator is used, which cooling corresponds to the lower section of the temperature profile of the regenerator. For maintaining the upper section of the temperature profile necessary for the operation of the regenerator, the exhaust gas flows around the upper section of the pressure vessel wall surrounding the regenerator while, at the same time, heat is extracted from the exhaust gas in this region by means of the combustion air conducted on the outer side of the exhaust gas flow in the reverse direction.

Abstract: A method for verifying the status of selected nonvolatile memory cells of an integrated memory circuit, such as during a memory erase or programming operation, and an integrated nonvolatile memory circuit including circuitry for performing this verification method. Preferably, the invention employs simple logic circuitry including a flip-flop to assert successful verification data only in response to a continuous validity of a verification signal throughout a sampling period, thereby avoiding false assertion of successful verification data. The sampling period is preferably longer than the expected duration of fluctuations due to noise in the verification signal. During the sampling period of a verification operation, the logic circuitry receives a raw verification signal indicative of the instantaneous relation between a measured threshold voltage of a selected memory cell and a reference voltage. The raw verification signal is valid if the threshold voltage has a desired relation to the reference voltage at an instant of time. The flip-flop remains in a first state while the raw verification signal is valid, but enters a second state in response to the raw verification signal going invalid and remains in the second state for the rest of the sampling period. An output signal from the logic circuitry indicates the state of the flip-flop at the end of the sampling period. A level of the output signal indicating that the flip-flop is in the first state at the end of the sampling period is interpreted as successful verification data.

Abstract: An electrical circuit for a switch having a lockout feature is described. The circuit permits both a primary operator and an auxiliary operator to operate a bi-directional motor by activating separate low-current switches. The circuitry enables the primary operator to disable the auxiliary operator's ability to operate the motor by activating a lockout switch. With the lockout switch activated, the primary operator can operate the motor without interference from the auxiliary operator. High-current power switches, activated via logic circuitry rather than by the operators, are used to complete a power circuit for energizing the motor.

Abstract: A superplastically formed, diffusion bonded sandwich structure (30) having integral metal hardpoints (40), made by joining two superplastic metal core sheets (36) together into a core pack (38) by welding or diffusion bonding along a pattern of lines which form junction lines between the core sheets (36) when the pack (38) and metal inserts (40) are interposed between the face sheets (32, 34) and the core (38). All of the sheets in the pack (30) are sealed together around an outside peripheral edge to create a gas tight envelope. The pack (30) is heated to superplastic temperatures in a cavity of a die, and the top and bottom face sheets (32, 34) are diffusion bonded to top and bottom surfaces of the metal inserts (40) by application of heat and pressure from top and bottom inner surfaces of the die cavity. While at superplastic temperatures, the pack (30) is inflated by gas pressure against inside surfaces of a die to form an expanded metal sandwich structure (30) having integral webs (36) and having integral hardpoints (40) formed by the metal inserts (40). After forming, the gas pressure is reduced to near atmospheric, the die is opened and the part (30) is removed from the die.

The lamp capsule (32) is assisted in its location by a spring (52) to force the capsule (32) in proper location. The headlamp system (10) no longer uses an O-ring to provide location, but an improved flat resilient gasket (64) provides a sealing and locking force to maintain proper face to face coupling. The preferred lamp capsule (32) uses a cup (80) to shield light reflected from the press seal.
