Title: Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Rades
Inventor: DOELL ANDREAS
IPC: F16C19/18
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: Vorgeschlagen wird eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines nicht angetriebenen Rades bei einem Kraftfahrzeug oder dergleichen mit einem Trägerbauteil, einer Radnabe und einem Wälzlager. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Radnabe (1) einstückig mit einem Tragzapfen ausgebildet ist, ein ein- oder zweiteiliger Innenring (2a) des Wälzlagers (2) auf dem Tragzapfen (1a) befestigt ist und daß, als Trägerbauteil ein Achskörper (3) mit einer Bohrung (3a) zur Aufnahme eines Außenrings (2b) des Wälzlagers (2) vorgesehen ist. Da der Außenring des Wälzlagers unmittelbar im Achskörper (3) angeordnet ist, ist eine Verschraubung zur Befestigung der Lagervorrichtung am Fahrzeug nicht mehr erforderlich. Da der Innenring durch Rollnieten am Tragzapfen (1a) der Radnabe (1) befestigt ist, entfällt auch die sonst übliche Lagereinstellung bei der Endmontage. Die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen führen dazu, daß die Anzahl der Bauteile und auch der Aufwand bei der Endmontage verringert werden. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method and apparatus for time-division
multiplexing/demultiplexing of signals multiplexes input
signals, and a predetermined frame synchronization pattern
signal to thereby generate the first time-division multiplexed
signals, then multiplexes each of the first time-division
multiplexed signals to thereby generate the second
time-division multiplexed signal. After receiving from a
transmission line, the time-division multiplexed signal is
demultiplexed to thereby generate a predetermined number of
first time-division demultiplexed signals, then each of the
first time-division demultiplexed signals is demultiplexed to
generate the second time-division demultiplexed signals, and
the orders of the second time-division demultiplexed signals
are permuted until the same signal as a predetermined frame
synchronization pattern signal is obtained from the second
time-division demultiplexed signal corresponding to the
predetermined frame synchronization pattern signal of the
second time-division demultiplexed signals.

Abstract: A device, and a method for its operation, for verifying a person's identity by
comparing in a correlator (18) selected features of a reference fingerprint image,
generated in a sensor (10) from the fingerprint of a person of known identity, with a
subject fingerprint image taken from a person whose identity is to be verified. In an
enrollment procedure, a fingerprint from a person of known identity is analyzed in an
enrollment processor (14) to locate multiple reference patches that together are
distinctive to that person's fingerprint. The reference patch images are stored, together
with their locations in the image, in a reference image storage unit (16). When a subject
fingerprint image is later provided, every reference patch is compared with every
possible patch of similar size in the subject image, to find a set of candidate match
locations in the subject image. Then a subset of the candidate match locations is
selected such that the candidate match locations in the subset are practically
geometrically congruent with the locations of a corresponding subset of reference
patches. A verification match is declared based on the number candidate match
locations in the selected subset that satisfies this geometric constraint.

degradation in vivo and having a 3-hydroxypyridinium cross-link,
the telopeptide having two amino acid sequences
derived from the carboxy-terminal telopeptide domain of the
α1(I) chain of type I collagen, and   (ii) a second telopeptide identical to the first
telopeptide except that the pyridinium ring of the 3-hydroxypyridinium
ring has been cleaved.

Abstract: Each nozzle vane of a turbine includes a leading edge cavity (30)
having an insert (56) spaced (60) from interior wall surfaces of the vane. The insert
includes impingement holes (58) for flowing cooling medium from within the insert
through the holes for impingement cooling of the vane walls. The insert has a divider
(70) dividing the insert into first and second chambers (72,74). Cooling medium is
supplied directly from a source to the first chamber (72) for impingement cooling of
the adjacent vane wall surfaces. Cooling medium at a substantially reduced pressure
resulting from impingement cooling of the outer wall of the nozzle segment is
supplied to the second chamber (74). The pressure of the cooling medium supplied to
the second chamber establishes the pressure difference between the interior and
exterior of the insert thereby affording increased cooling intensity of the impingement
cooling flow.

Abstract: Disclosed a gas-combustion engine burning fuel of
natural gas, which is provided with a turbocharger(15)
having a motor generator(18) and operated on the Miller
cycle that may control adequately actual compression
ratios by regulating the timing for opening and closing
intake valves(11). The gas-combustion engine has
intake-valve lift controllers(30) for altering the
timing for opening and closing intake valves(11) at
intake ports(7,9) to thereby vary actual compression
ratios. The intake-valve lift controllers(30) each,
when the temperatures of the intake air and/or the
combustion chamber walls are below a design temperature
preselected, control the timing for closure of the
associated intake valve(11) so as to block the
associated intake port(7,9) near the bottom dead center
of the compression phase. In contrast, when the
temperature of the combustion chamber walls is above
the design temperature preselected, the intake-valve
lift controllers(30) each delay the timing for closure
of the intake valve(11) at the intake port(7,9) so as
to permit a part of the intake air to flow backwards to
the intake port(7,9). In a design of two intake valves
(11) being provided per each combustion chamber(1,2),
the intake-valve lift controllers(30) may operate so as
to alter the duration for opening any one of the two
intake valves. A controller unit(50) regulates the
timings for opening and closure of the intake valves
(11), in response to combustion chamber wall
temperatures, boosting pressures, engine power and fuel
flow rates supplied into the sub-combustion chambers(2),
operating conditions of a motor generator(18) in a
