Abstract: A novel method of fabrication of periodic dielectric composites involving a flexible
computer design stage, rapid growth of the material according to the computer specification,
and vacuum casting of a second dielectric component. Certain materials constructed in this
fashion exhibit a complete loss-free barrier to microwave propagation through the material
for a desired band of frequencies. Such materials could provide a novel medium for all-angle
wide- and narrow-band blocking filters, narrow-band transmission filters, reflective
and loss-free substrates for planar antennas, and novel loss-free media for oscillator cavities
and waveguides. In addition a novel crystal structure, particularly suited to the fabrication
method mentioned above, is revealed.

Inventor: KONNO ATSUSHI
IPC: F02D41/06
Filed: 2002-06-14
Abstract: In order to reduce white smoke emissions immediately after start-up,
the present invention is a method for executing engine warm-up control using
electronic control units, wherein start-up idle control, which does not perform
the prescribed fast idle control, is executed until a prescribed period of time
tl has elapsed after engine start-up, whereupon the amount of fuel injection
is increased to execute fast idle control. Immediately after engine start-up,
the fuel injection amount and number of engine revolutions are restricted
compared to those during fast idle control, preventing a large amount of fuel
injection and high number of revolutions while the piston wall surface
temperature is low, and thereby significantly reducing white smoke
emissions.

Patent EP-1283137-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUMURA NORIO
IPC: B60R22/46
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: The object is to provide a pretensioner having a plurality of force transmitting
members, in which a piston as a force receiving member is designed to be hardly
deformed, thereby allowing further smooth movement of the force transmitting
members. As a piston (4) receives gas pressure from a gas generator (6), the piston (4)
presses an adjacent force transmitting member (3'). Accordingly, the piston (4) is
deformed so as to wedge into a space between the outer peripheral surface of the
barrel-like force transmitting member (3') and the inner peripheral surface of a pipe
(2). Then, by force produced by the withdrawing of a seat belt due to the operation of
an energy absorber EA, the barrel-like force transmitting member (3') presses the
piston (4) backward. At this point, since the lower end face of the barrel-like force
transmitting member (3') is in plane contact with the piston (4) and the space between
the outer peripheral surface of the barrel-like force transmitting member (3') and the
inner peripheral surface of a pipe (2) is small, the wedging amount of the piston (4)
into the space is small. Therefore, the force transmitting members (3, 3') and the
piston (4) can smoothly move.

Abstract: An improved air intake manifold (10) for a V-style internal
combustion engine (26) comprising three individual injection molded
sections (12,14,16) joined by friction welding of flanged mating elements.
Each section is formed of a high-melting temperature composite polymer.
The welds are all on the exterior of the manifold. The mating surfaces (30)
are formed to be directly accessible to welding apparatus and are so
oriented that friction welding may be carried out by relative motion between
the components in the axial direction. When joined, the lower and middle
sections (16,14) form the individual air distribution runners (44) from the
plenum (52) to the intake ports in the engine heads (22,24). The lower and
middle sections are so configured that each such runner crosses the valley
of the engine, providing great strength and rigidity to the module. All
runners are identical, so that air flows from the plenum to the individual
cylinders are substantially identical. The middle and upper sections (14,12)
may be rotationally symmetrical about a vertical axis (47), preventing mis-orientation
during assembly. Modifications may be made to any one of the
sections without requiring retooling of molds for the other two sections,
provided the configurations of the mating surfaces are unchanged.

Abstract: A process of fabricating a corrosion and erosion resistant component. In one embodiment, the process entails applying one or more corrosion resistant materials onto a pre-formed, sacrificial core and then enclosing this first material and the core with a surrounding capsule. Any space within the capsule is then substantially filled with a second material, after which the capsule is sealed and treated to cause the second material to densify and to metallurgically bond to the first material. Thereafter, the core material and capsule are removed via chemical and/or mechanical processes to yield a component with a shape that approximates the space that existed between the capsule and the first material, and with an outer surface that reflects the shape of the outer surface of the core and the inner surface of the capsule.

Abstract: In order to operate non-contact identification media RF-IM in a system having contact applications C-App for contact cards C-IM, an initialized converter module C-RF is interconnected as a write/read station. Said converter module executes, on the one hand, a non-contact communication K-RF with initialized non-contact identification media RF-IM and, on the other hand, a contact communication K-C on a contact card interface S to a host computer H or to an application computer App-uP for communicating with a contact application C-App of the system. The converter module translates the non-contact communication K-RF with regard to communication rules and information I-RF into a contact communication K-C with contact information I-C and vice versa.

Abstract: The invention relates to a false-twist texturing unit and a method for feeding a filament into a false-twist texturing unit of this type, said unit comprising a twist device with several stacks of discs, mounted on shafts, for crimping synthetic continuous filaments. To thread the filament into the twist device, the invention is provided with a feed device comprising several filament carriers, which can be guided into a feed position in respective gaps between the stacks of discs. The aim of the invention is to exert considerable force on the filament during the threading of said filament into the twist device. To achieve this, one of the inventive filament carriers of the feed device is also configured in a displaceable manner. Said displaceable filament carrier can thus also be displaced between a rest position and a feed position during the feed positioning of the feed device, the filament in the feed position of the displaceable filament carrier being introduced into the twist device after passing through the feed position of the feed device.
