Abstract: A modular fuel delivery apparatus including a reservoir (20) in a fuel tank (10), an electric high pressure fuel pump (40) in the reservoir fed only from inside the reservoir, and a jet pump (52) fed only from the fuel tank and discharging into the reservoir to keep the latter filled and energized from the high pressure fuel pump. A check valve is disposed between the jet pump inlet (58) and the fuel tank to prevent backflow into the fuel tank. A partition (88) on the bottom (36) of the reservoir separates the jet pump discharge (60) from the high pressure pump inlet and defines a standpipe around and above the jet pump discharge so that the jet pump discharge stays submerged in fuel when the high pressure pump empties the reservoir. The pumping efficiency of the jet pump when submerged is better than when dry so that the delay in restarting the engine after both the fuel tank and the reservoir are pumped empty is minimized.

IPC: H04L25/49
Filed: 1991-12-24
Abstract: A data transmission system is proposed in which an auxiliary bitstream of low bitrate (AUX) is coded together with a main bitstream of high bitrate (PRIM) without increasing the transmission rate above the high bitrate. This auxiliary bitstream (AUX) is moreover transmitted synchronously with the main bitstream (PRIM). 
     To achieve this transmitter (T) divides the main bitstream (PRIM) in periodically occurring blocks of Y bits and codes one bit of the auxiliary bitstream (AUX) in each of said blocks by using a first (AMI) or a second (VAMI) coding law according to the binary value of that bit. The second law is constructed by violating the first coding law (AMI) according to a predetermined violation law. Redundancy in the first coding law (AMI) is used to introduce symbol sequences not permitted under this first coding law (AMI) and to so obtain the second coding law (VAMI).

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling interstand tension by roll gap adjustment to reduce gage variations caused by unplanned rolling velocity changes wherein a signal proportional to the tension changes produced by deviations from the desired speed ratio of adjacent stands (1,2) is used to modify the conventional tension error signal before the latter signal is used to control roll gap thereby discriminating between tension changes caused by mill stand or strip physical changes, which it corrects, and tension changes caused by unplanned speed disturbances, which it ignores instead of maintaining constant tension. The resulting system exhibits improved tolerance for imperfect stand speed control.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring board is provided in which interlayer connection is made between a first electric circuit and a second electric circuit, both electric circuits being formed on a substrate. Firstly a metal layer is applied onto the substrate and a photoresist is deposited onto the metal layer. Then the photoresist is partially removed to produce a resist hole and the remaining photoresist is selectively exposed in accordance with the desired pattern for the first electric circuit. Next a conductive pillar is formed in the resist hole, followed by the removal of the exposed remaining photoresist to reveal corresponding regions of the metal layer below. These regions of the metal layer are then etched to partly expose the substrate and to form said first electric circuit. All remaining photoresist is removed and an insulation layer is deposited on the first electric circuit, the exposed substrate, and the conductive pillar, such that only one end of the conductive pillar remains exposed. Then a second metal layer is deposited on the surface of the insulation layer and the exposed end of the conductive pillar to form the second electric layer cirrcuit. 
     The above method facilitates accurate alignment between the first wiring circuit and the conductive pillar and hence enables high density circuits to be achieved. It also reduces the number of manufacturing steps required since the same photoresist layer is used in both the resist hole formation step and the circuit pattern formation step.

Abstract: Talcous substances consisting of particles of flaky structure. These substances are characterised in that each particle exhibits internally the crystal structure of talc, imparting to it certain specific properties of this mineral (low hardness, thermal stability), and has hydrophilic surface properties which oppose the hydrophobic properties of the mineral talc and result in a good reactivity. The substances in accordance with the invention have a thermal and chemical stability range analogous to that of talc. They can be manufactured by a thermal route or chemical routes under conditions such as to avoid the internal conversion of the talc and such as to perform surface modifications consisting of a substitution of the inert siloxane bridges by active hydrophilic functional groups.
