Patent EP-0890772-A2 (EP)
Title: Sealing with cavities
IPC: E03F3/04
Filed: 1998-07-07
Abstract: In the sealing basic body (1) are hollow spaces (8) which are so arranged that when the seal is loaded areas near to the hollow spaces come under tractive tension and other areas near to the hollow spaces come under pressure tension, whereby these areas in a framework fashion form tractive braces (6) and pressure braces (7). The two types of braces in the core area are made of a second elastomer which has a greater hardness than the first elastomer. The hollow spaces (8) are joined by channels (9) with the higher pressure space, in order to increase the pressure of the seal on the parts. The seal has a pressure seal area with parallel surfaces (2,3), between which the tractive and pressure braces and the hollow spaces are arranged.

Abstract: The fuel injection method for operating a directly injected four stroke engine (1), uses one injector (6) per cylinder (3), to inject fuel in a combustion chamber (4). After application of an electric flashover voltage between electrodes (10,11) projecting in the combustion chamber, a sparking plug (9) is ignited. In wide performance graph ranges of the IC engine, a layer charging operation is provided by fuel injection during the compression stroke in the working stroke of the respective cylinder. An ignition system (15) produces AC voltage, and rapidly builds up a high tension between the electrodes of the sparking plug, and activates ignition sparks with a specified duration depending on operating point.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to make it possible to switch
a plurality of infrared communication schemes without depending
on an automatic detection of infrared signals. A plurality of
communication ports (11A, 11B, ···, 11n) are related to a
plurality of infrared communication schemes, respectively.
When the communication port (11) is opened, a communication port
controller (12) refers to a relating information table (24) of
a memory (26) to send relating information to an infrared
protocol selector (13) and an infrared modulation/demodulation
scheme selector (18). An IrDA infrared protocol generator (14),
an ASK infrared protocol generator (15) or a consumer IR infrared
protocol generator (16) is selected, and then an IrDA modem (19),
an ASK modem (20) or a consumer IR modem (21) is selected. Data
communication of infrared signals (27) is conducted through an
infrared unit (23) in accordance with the protocol and the
modulation/demodulation scheme thus selected.

Inventor: KOHLERT CHRISTIAN DR
IPC: B29C43/58
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: Sheet shrinkage is measured continuously at the center and edge, forming a shrinkage difference  DELTA S from the data. If this difference exceed plus or minus 0.5% of a given value, action is taken by a control computer (53), comprising variation of e.g. friction and rotational speed between final calender roller and first withdrawal roller and/or variation of temperature and speed of the calender- and withdrawal rollers. The action returns and holds the difference to its nominal range. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding shrinkage measurement equipment (51). Preferred Features: The time to reaching glass point temperature at the center and edge of sheet withdrawn from the calender, and the sheet width on the last calender roller and the first withdrawal roller, are measured. The shrinkage difference between center and edge are approximated by an equation, using a measured data reduction computer (52). An infra red camera measures the relevant temperatures; a CCD unit measures the widths. Shrinkage is alternatively measured using linearly polarized laser light in the 400-900 nm waveband, preferably at 670 nm. The polarization plane is so inclined to the sheet axis, that the light is part circularly polarized in passing through it. An optical element reconstitutes a linearly polarized main beam, which is split by a diffraction grating into n beam components, each being deflected to a photodetector with polarization filter. Each detector forms part of a detector ring. Each filter has a polarization direction set at 360 degrees /n, hence the detected signal intensities are a function of sheet anisotropy. Signals are converted by the relevant calibration curve, into shrinkage values. A simple third-order polynomial cited in the disclosure, relates anisotropy with shrinkage. Sheet temperature is leveled over width, by circulating coolant in the roller. Hot air controls the edge temperature. Cold air may be supplied at the center of the sheet. Necking at withdrawal, is minimized by withdrawal roller speed control. Edge tenter clips or an air knife minimize necking.

Abstract: A compressor including a compressing mechanism
accommodated in a housing (11, 12). The mechanism draws
refrigerant from an intake chamber (131) into a compression
chamber (112) and discharges the refrigerant from the
compression chamber (112) to the discharge chamber (132). A
seal device (26, 27) prevents leakage of refrigerant from the
internal space to the atmosphere between the drive shaft (14)
and the housing (11, 12). An isolation chamber (123), which is
separately formed in the housing (11, 12), accommodates the
seal device. A pressure reducing passage (28) reduces the
pressure of the isolation chamber (123) to reduce the pressure
difference applied to the seal device.

Abstract: The iron of the invention is provided with a housing
established at its front for the illumination lamp, the
housing being arranged slightly inclined forwards and
downwards. In addition to said lamp, two heat dissipating
plates are adapted to the sides in order to prevent the lamp
from overheating, said plates extending backwards

generate steam to act as a cooler. Another characteristic of
the invention provides the inclusion of a heat limiter in
the circuit supplying the lamp, to switch it off in the
event of an excessive temperature. A push-button type switch
located on the rear of the iron is established for the lamp,
and therefore when the lamp is placed in such position of
rest, the illumination lamp will be automatically switched
off.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus generates a random number key,
and generates a first intermediate key in response to the random
number key. The data processing apparatus memorizes the first
intermediate key in connection with an identifier. A combination of
the identifier and the random number key is transmitted from the
data processing apparatus to a reproducing device. The
reproducing device generates a second intermediate key in
response to the random number key. A combination of the
identifier and the second intermediate key is transmitted from the
reproducing device to the data processing apparatus. The data
processing apparatus retrieves the first intermediate key in
response to the identifier transmitted from the reproducing device.
The data processing apparatus decides whether or not the retrieved
first intermediate key and the second intermediate key are equal to
each other. The data processing apparatus and the reproducing
device are disconnected from each other when the data processing
apparatus decides that the retrieved first intermediate key and the
second intermediate key are not equal to each other. The data
processing apparatus generates a first bus key in response to the
first intermediate key. The reproducing device generates a second
bus key in response to the second intermediate key. Encryption
and decryption of digital information transmitted between the
reproducing device and the data processing apparatus are
implemented in response to the first and second bus keys.
