Patent EP-1091113-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WALL JOHN C
IPC: F02B29/04
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: An EGR system for an internal combustion engine has a separate,
secondary high-temperature cooling loop (44), in addition to a primary cooling loop (42). In the
secondary cooling loop (44), coolant flows through a secondary high-temperature exhaust gas
cooler (36), which is located upstream of the primary exhaust gas cooler (38). A large amount of
heat is transferred from the exhaust gases to the coolant in the secondary high-temperature
cooling loop (44). The heat absorbed by the high-temperature coolant is rejected
in a secondary high-temperature radiator (52). Heat absorbed by the primary coolant is
rejected in a primary radiator (46). The two radiators (46,52) occupy the same amount of frontal
area as a single radiator used in a conventional single-stage EGR cooling system, but
overall reject more heat to the ambient. 
     In an alternate arrangement, the EGR system for a liquid-cooled internal
combustion engine has a single exhaust gas cooler (136) which is cooled by an EGR cooling
loop that is independent of the engine cooling system. The EGR cooling loop includes a
secondary radiator (152) located adjacent the primary engine cooling radiator (146), and the two
radiators (146,152) together occupy the same frontal area as a single radiator used in a
conventional single-stage EGR cooling system, but overall reject more heat to the
ambient.

Abstract: Two members having respectively an aperture and a portion inserted in the aperture, for
example, a side rail and one roof support and fairing piece of a motor car roof rack, may be
secured together by adhesive or it has also been proposed to fit a wedge or spring clip to
maintain a force fit between the inserted portion and aperture. In the invention, an inserted
plug portion 5, 12 is secured in an aperture by an axially extending elongate spring member
6, 10, 13 engaged between the aperture and inserted portion and positioned in an axial
groove or slot 7, 14 preferably formed in the side of the inserted portion. 
     The spring member may be a C-shaped, overlapped or coiled roll pin 6, 10 or a helical
spring 13. In the latter case, it is advantageous for the spring 13 to be arranged so that,
when the inserted plug portion 12 is engaged in the aperture of the rail 11, the coils of the
spring tend be pushed over to permit such engagement relatively easily but disengagement
requires much more force because the coils tend to jam between the plug portion and
aperture. To enhance this effect, the coil spring can have a polygonal cross-section and the
wire of the coil can have a sharp-edged section, e.g. a rhomboid.

Abstract: By using an ink jet head, which has for each
color two parallel columns of nozzles arranged side by
side in the main scan direction and shifted from each
other by one-half the pitch at which the nozzles are
arranged in each column, odd-numbered rasters and
even-numbered rasters making up an image are printed
by the two nozzle columns. The registration between
the odd- and even-numbered rasters is secured during
the printing to produce an image with high print
quality. For that purpose, the ink ejection timing
between the two raster groups is shifted by a
predetermined interval to form a plurality of
adjustment patterns (S2202); the adjustment patterns
printed are checked and, according to the check result,
an adjustment value for the ink ejection timing
between the two ink nozzle columns is entered (S2204);
and the entered adjustment value is stored to be
reflected on the actual printing operation (S2206).
To facilitate the adjustment pattern check, the
plurality of adjustment patterns have a dot
distribution with a blue noise characteristic at a
resolution at which the printing apparatus can print.

Abstract: A stratified-charge combustion system design for
direct-injection spark-ignited engines with the piston bowl
(42) in the exhaust-valve side. The air flow from the inlet
valve provides a normal tumble in-cylinder air flow. The
fuel injector (34) is positioned on the intake-valve side of
the combustion cylinder and forms a charge stratification in
the combustion chamber. With the piston bowl (42) on the
exhaust-valve side, the distance for spray penetration of
the fuel from the injector is extended. The rate of fuel
spray penetration in the combustion chamber is reduced by
counter air flow against the fuel spray. The air-fuel
mixture is moved upwardly to the area of the spark plug by
the tumble air flow for ignition. The invention provides
less piston bowl wall wetting which results in less soot
formation and less emissions of undesirable hydrocarbons.

The use of multiple tanks facilitates the use of a sight gauge for determining the quantity of liquid in each tank. 
     The invention also proposes tankers having a unique configuration of tanks (105,107,105) which are each horizontally symmetrical and in which the opposite ends of each tank are correspondingly curved and wherein adjacent tanks have complimentary curved ends to allow close nesting of the tanks. 
     Also described is a vapour recovery system.

Abstract: A space photovoltaic power generation system comprises a
plurality of power satellites (1) arranged in space, each of
which converts electric energy, in which sunlight has been
photoelectric-converted, into a microwave, and transmite the
microwave to an electric power base (4). The space
photovoltaic power generation system divides the plurality of
power satellites (1) into a number of power satellte groups
and adjusts the amount of phase adjustment to be made to a
microwave which each of the plurality of power satellites (1)
included in each power satellite group will transmit so that
a plurality of microwaves from the plurality of power
satellites (1) included in each power satellite group are in
phase with one another. The beamwidth of the plurality of
microwaves can be reduced without increasing the area of the
aperture of a transmission antenna of each of the plurality
of power satellites (1). If the plurality of microwaves
transmitted from the plurality of power satellites included
in each power satellite group interfere with microwaves
transmitted from any other power satellite group, the
beamwidth is reduced. To avoid the reduction in the
beamwidth, each of the plurality of power satellites (1)
included in each power satellite group modulates the phase-adjusted
microwave so as to generate an incoherent microwave
so that the microwave does not interfere with other
microwaves transmitted from any other power satellite group.
