Abstract: A canopy for use with a ventilator slot extending through a window frame has pressure differential responsive flow control means arranged to progressively close the flow passage through the canopy as the pressure differential increases, thus preventing draughts. The canopy has a body (1) with an inlet and an outlet and a bowed wall (21) therebetween. A normally straight baffle strip (26) is attached to the centre of the wall (21) and there are non-aligned apertures (25,28) in the wall and the baffle respectively. When the pressure differential between the inlet and outlet is low, the baffle is well-spaced from the wall but as the pressure differential increases the baffle (26) is bowed progressively towards the wall against the inherent bias of the strip to progressively close the flow path through the apertures. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A valveless, positive displacement metering pump is provided by the invention. Such a pump includes a housing (22), a working chamber (24) within the housing (22), a piston (82) within the working chamber (24), the piston (82) including a duct (86) defined by a portion of its outer surface, one or more inflow ports (96) communicating with the working chamber, one or more outflow ports (96) communicating with the working chamber (24), and a drive cylinder (66) for simultaneously rotating the piston (82) and causing it to move in back and forth strokes within the working chamber (24). The housing (22) is rotatable with respect to the piston (82) to adjust the timing of the fluid communication between the duct (86) and the inflow and outflow ports (96), respectively. Such adjustments in timing allow the flow rate of the pump to be fine tuned, and allow each port (96) to experience a partial suction as well as a partial discharge. It also allows backflow to occur in an inflow line (96) to the pump, thereby cleaning any filters within the inflow line (96) or agitating a suspension from which the inflow line (95) draws fluid. It also permits suction to be applied to an cutflow line (96) at the end of a discharge stroke, thereby preventing hanging drops or strings from forming at the discharge end of the outflow line. In addition, timing adjustement allows the manufacture of relatively inexpensive pumps in which the axes of the drive cylinder (66) and working chamber (24) are maintained in fixed positions relative to each other. A method for adjusting the flow rate of a valveless, positive displacement metering pump is also provided which includes adjusting the phases at which the piston duct (86) communicates with each of the ports (96) of the pump. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a device for producing an electric discharge between two electrodes are described. The method is characterized in that the electric arc resistance is substantially reduced at least between the electrodes to a resistance value which is close to or even lower than the critical resistance. This is achieved by placing between the electrodes an electrically conductive liquid medium (32) held in a substantially sealed container (30) surrounding the electrodes, whereby the electrical discharge rate between two electrodes can be improved while completely or substantially completely eliminating the latency time.

Abstract: A hand washing and rinsing unit which operates automatically without the need for the user to touch any part of the unit. When the user's hands are inserted into a wash basin (12), a proximity switch (30) actuates the system to switch on a supply of water through a supply line (18). After a predetermined time interval such as 5 to 8 seconds, a metered quantity of liquid soap from a supply (28) is dispensed onto the user's hands, and the supply of water continues to enable the soap to be washed off. The system incorporates an electronic monitoring system to record each use, this being triggered only when soap has been dispensed, so that it is not possible to have a wash recorded merely by wetting the hands for a few seconds.

Abstract: A lithography process for forming a pattern having different sizes or different shapes of pattern components, comprises steps of exposing a resist to a predetermined light pattern by modified illumination, and removing, at least one step of forming the resist pattern, a region of the resist by employing a lithography-developing solution containing a surfactant, the surfactant being capable of promoting dissolution of a smaller pattern component to be removed of the resist. The surfactant is represented by the general formula below: HO(CH2CH2O)a(CH(CH3)CH2O)b(CH2CH2O)cH where a, b, and c are respectively an integer. The surfactant satisfies the relation: ( A + C ) / ( A + B + C) </= 0.3 where A represents the molecular weight of HO(CH2CH2O)a, B represents the molecular weight of (CH(CH3)CH2O)b, and C represents the molecular weight of (CH2CH2O)cH.

Abstract: A preprocessor for conditioning interlace-scan video signals for frame based compression, includes apparatus to accept fields of interlace-scanned video and provide fields of interlace-scanned luminance and chrominance component signals. The fields of interlace-scanned luminance component are combined into respective frames of luminance signal and applied to compressor apparatus for further processing. The fields of interlace scanned chrominance components are independently processed at the field level to generate lines of chrominance values which are interstitial to the lines of the original chrominance values and at a lesser pixel and line density. The independently processed fields of interlace-scanned chrominance signals are combined into respective frames of chrominance component signals and applied to compressor circuitry for further processing. Performing the chrominance signal interpolation and subsampling at the field level tends to eliminate a majority of color distortions around moving images. Receiver apparatus is configured to perform post decompression processing to generate frame data having the original pixel and line density.

Abstract: A transmission control system for a vehicle having an engine with an output shaft, a torque converter, a stepped automatic transmission mechanism, and a clutch for engaging and releasing a plurality of gear shafts and input/output shafts with each other so as to change a shift change ratio by operation of the clutch. The control system produces a shift signal output indicating a shift change ratio of the stepped automatic transmission mechanism, detects an input torque of the stepped automatic transmission, recognizes an actual mechanical shift start timing of the stepped automatic transmission mechanism and changes engaging pressure on the clutch in accordance with a manipulation variable. An input torque-manipulation variable relationship between the input torque and the manipulation variable for every shift change ratio indicated by every shift signal and every mode of shift change ratios is stored. A manipulation variable calculation is performed when the shift signal and the shift signal output changes and the actual mechanical shift start timing is recognized. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The system includes a bi-directional airlift spring having opposite end plates at either end located between two parallel control arms where expansion of the air spring pivots the upper and lower control arms w.r.t. a frame bracket thereby lifting an axle and wheels attached to it from engagement with the road surface. The end plates of the bi-directional air spring move about equally in opposite directions and remain parallel to one another throughout expansion and contraction of the air spring so as to about equally distribute forces of expansion of the air spring between the upper and lower control arms. The system also includes a shock absorber having one end attached to the upper control arm and another end attached to the lower control arm so as to locate the shock absorber forward of the axle thereby minimising shock travel and maximising shock life. The upper control arm is pivotally connected to an axle seat by a bolt including an eccentric cam mechanism which allows one to adjust the caster angle of the axle when the need arises.
