Inventor: CHOMIAK JERZY
IPC: F02M61/16
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle (10) for internal combustion engines provided with a valve, in particular a needle valve (24), and a nozzle sac (20) below the valve which includes plural injection orifices (22) distributing the fuel in combustion space. A swirl flow is induced upstream the nozzle sac, for instance by using a swirl fluid passage (34). A free ball (32) from a material of higher density than the fuel is located in the nozzle sac (20) moved by the swirling flow around the sac and following a track (36) in the form of a rounded corner of a radius slightly larger than the ball and connecting the injection orifices with entrances in the center of the rounded corner. The ball sequentially covers the injection orifices so that it provides multiple fuel injection pulses during a single opening of the fuel valve i.e. per single cylinder firing. The multiple injections provide substantially improved fuel atomization, air entrainment into the fuel spray and better air utilization in the engine, increasing power density, combustion and cycle efficiency and reducing emissions. For best effects the fuel swirl rate in the sac shall be three to four times the air swirl rate in the combustion chamber. The ratio of the ball diameter to the sac diameter is preferably between 0.6 and 0.8.

Abstract: An evaluation of an optical system with respect to visual acuity is
appropriately performed, with a chromatic aberration of magnification of the
optical system being taken into consideration. 
     A performance of the optical system is evaluated based on a
correlation between a visual acuity when looking through the optical system
and the chromatic aberration of magnification of the optical system, the
correlation being a proportional relation such that, when the visual acuity is
expressed by a logarithmic visual acuity, the logarithmic visual acuity
deteriorates substantially in proportion to the chromatic aberration of
magnification, or on a correlation between the visual acuity and an optical
value regarding the chromatic aberration of magnification which is
substantially equivalent to the correlation.

Abstract: According to the method for analyzing physical and/or chemical
properties of the surface layer of a solid body as per claim 1, the surface layer is
activated by a unit irradiation pulse and deactivated by keeping the solid body at
a constant temperature and subsequently heating it when the irradiation effect
performed thereon is over, the spectrum of the energy quanta emitted by the
surface layer of the solid body is recorded during the deactivation in such a way
that the spectrum of the emitted energy quanta recorded at a constant
temperature provides data on the loosely coupled states of the surface layer and
their half-lives, the thermoluminescence spectrum recorded during the heating
gives information on phase and relaxation transition temperatures in the surface
layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shifting device for transmitting shifting commands to an automatic gearbox of a motor vehicle, comprising the following: a housing (1) and/or a frame; a shift lever (2) which is embodied in such a way that it can pivot about a selector axis and about a shift axis, said selector axis and shift axis being preferably arranged in an orthogonal manner in relation to each other and said shift lever (2) being able to be shifted into a first shifting path and a second shifting path, whereby the first shifting path preferably shifts shifting programs (P, N, R and D) of an automatic gearbox and the second shifting path preferably implements typed commands. The invention is characterized in that a shift carriage (3) is provided. Said shift carriage can move in a linear manner on a plane and is embodied in such a way that the movement of the shift lever (2) in the first shifting path causes the carriage to be displaced in a linear manner, by means of a force coupling. Movement of the shift lever (2) in the second shifting path causes the movement of the shift lever (2) to become decoupled from the shift carriage (3).

Abstract: The device comprises conventionally a plug (2) for the
electrical supply of a heater element (14) to bring about the heating and
evaporation, by way of a flat wick (10), of an active substance contained
in a main receptacle (5). The novelty lies in the fact that said container
(5) is heat-formed and defines a triangular configuration reservoir (6) with
a flat extension (7) that accommodates the flat "Y"-shaped wick (10) in
which the ends of its divergent arms (11) are engaged in recesses (9) in
the mouth of the active substance reservoir (6), said wick (10) being
pressed by an impermeable strip (12) which is heat-sealed to the body of
the reservoir (6), so that the heater element (14) positioned facing the
front end of the extension (7) brings about the warming of the wick (10)
and the corresponding evaporation of the active substance, which will
issue by way of a hole (16) in the impermeable strip (12) to be diffused in
the environment. In the plug-in position the device remains with the
container (5) of the wick (10) in the vertical position, and in direct contact
of this with the active substance contained in the reservoir (6).

Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile communication
system that can efficiently control the conflicting abilities
of making the high quality communication and keeping the
number of accommodating the mobile terminals. 
     A radio quality measuring part of a mobile terminal
requests a radio base station to increase or decrease the
transmitting power to attain a needed receiving quality. A
radio quality control part controls the receiving quality so
that the bearer quality may attain the required quality on
the basis of the bearer quality measured by a bearer quality
control part. The radio base station always monitors the
quality for a radio section. When this radio quality exceeds
a threshold specified by a radio base station controller, the
radio base station reports to the radio base station
controller the worsening or improvement of the radio quality
via a radio base station protocol terminator with a radio
quality report.

Abstract: A direct current detection circuit has a zero-phase current transformer with source
lines inserted therethrough for detecting current differences among them and generates a
comparison voltage value based on a divided voltage value obtained between the zero-phase
current transformer and a voltage divider resistor according to a change in the self-impedance
of the zero-phase current transformer. An offset current is passed through the
zero-phase current transformer to make it possible to detect on the basis of the
comparison voltage value a direct current value in a range which is otherwise difficult to
detect accurately on the basis of the comparison voltage value because of influence of
hysteresis characteristic of the zero-phase current transformer. A control circuit detects a
present direct current value based on the comparison voltage value and the value of the
offset current.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for intrastromal refractive surgery is disclosed
wherein tissue at selected locations within the stroma of the cornea is
photoablated using a pulsed laser beam. The apparatus includes an optical
system for forming a shaped laser beam having a waist at a predetermined
distance from the optical system. The pulse duration and pulse energy of the
laser beam are selected to cause ablation to occur in front of the waist (i.e.
between the waist and the optical system). To achieve this, a pulse energy is
used that exceeds the minimum pulse energy required for ablation at the
waist. By ablating in front of the waist, a relatively large ablation zone (per
pulse) is created (compared to ablation at the waist). Furthermore, while the
laser is scanned through the cornea to effectuate a refractive change, the
optical system maintains a uniform waist for the laser beam.
