Patent EP-1036645-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLEMAN RICHARD E
IPC: B29C33/02
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: A mold (30) for a pneumatic tire includes a plurality of mold sections (32) that
cooperate to form an annular mold. Each of the mold sections has a body (34) with
an inner surface (36). The body defines at least one longitudinal groove (40) that opens
at the inner surface. The groove has a mouth (42) and a body with the width
of the mouth (44) being smaller than at least the largest width (46) of the body. In one
embodiment of the invention, the groove has a female dovetail cross section.
The grooves in the mold sections cooperate to form a continuous, 360 degree
groove about the tire mold. A plurality of die ribs (38) are slidingly disposed in the
grooves. Each die rib has a base (50) that corresponds with the cross section of the
groove. Thus, the die rib in the above-embodiment has a male dovetail cross
section that is configured to slide within the groove. The dovetail configurations
form an interference fit between the die ribs in the mold sections while allowing
the die ribs to be installed by sliding them longitudinally within the grooves.

Abstract: A catalyst is installed in an exhaust passage of an internal
combustion engine. The catalyst is of a type that traps and
stores NOx in the exhaust gas when the air/fuel ratio of the
exhaust gas is higher than the stoichiometric ratio and reduces
the stored NOx with the aid of reducing components in the
exhaust gas when the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is equal to
or lower than the stoichiometric ratio. A detector detects
operation load of the engine. A control unit includes a
microprocessor that is programmed to carry out calculating the
amount of the stored NOx when the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust
gas is higher than the stoichiometric ratio; judging whether or
not the catalyst needs recovering of the NOx-storing ability
thereof in accordance with the calculated amount of the stored
NOx; determining the amount of NOx to be reduced in
accordance with the engine load detected by the detector; and
carrying out a catalyst recovering control when the need of
recovering the NOx-storing ability is judged. The catalyst
recovering control is a control to keep the air/fuel ratio of the
exhaust gas at a predetermined lower ratio for a predetermined
period.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting leakage from a evaporative
emission space of an automotive vehicle fuel system. A reciprocating
pump is operated in a pressurizing mode to build pressure in the space
toward a nominal test pressure. The pressurizing mode involves
operating the pump in a repeating cycle wherein the pump operates
alternately in an accelerated pumping mode and a natural frequency
pumping mode. During the pressurizing mode, a characteristic of
successive occurrences of the natural frequency pumping mode
indicative of pressure in the space is measured. The number of times the
cycle repeats is counted and compared to a predefined reference. When
the cycle count exceeds the predefined reference, the test continues at a
lower resolution for detecting leakage, and when the cycle count does not
exceed the predefined reference and a measurement of the characteristic
of successive occurrences of the natural frequency pumping mode
indicative of pressure in the space exceeds a predetermined reference
pressure, the test continues at a higher resolution for detecting leakage.
The invention is useful when overall test time is limited.
