Patent GB-2261475-A (GB)
Title: Fuel-injection pump for internal combustion engine
Inventor: LAUFER HELMUT
IPC: F02M59/36
Filed: 1992-10-30
Abstract: The fuel-injection pump has a piston (14) reciprocated in cylinder bore (13) by a cam drive (16), thereby to deliver fuel from a working chamber (21) to an injection nozzle (36). To end delivery the working chamber is connected to a lower pressure channel (22) by a solenoid valve (38). During the period following the end of delivery, a relief line (50) with a pressure holding valve (52) is connected to the working chamber in order to maintain a residual pressure therein. The relief line (50) issues from the cylinder bore (13) and is connected by axial and annular grooves (30, 40) to the working chamber (21). The connection between the annular groove (48) and the relief line (50) occurs prior to the pump piston (14) reaching its top dead point and shortly after the valve (38) is closed again so that fuel flows out of the pump working chamber (21) only through the relief line (50). The residual pressure maintained by the pressure holding valve (52) acts to prevent the piston leaving its drive. In a second arrangement, the relief line is connected in series with the solenoid valve. <IMAGE>

Title: Indicating outer communication range of a digital cordless telephone
Inventor: YOON SUNG-PYO
IPC: H04M1/72516
Filed: 1996-06-27
Abstract: A digital cordless telephone monitors the frequency of frame errors or handshake errors occurring whilst communicating with a base station and judges an increase in either of these errors to be an indication that the telephone is going out of range of its respective base station, wherein it alerts the telephone user. The method involves setting first and second timers in the cordless telephone. If a frame is received with no error, the first timer is reset. If hand-shake data is received, the second timer is reset. On the other hand, if either the first or second timers expires, the telephone control unit determines that the frequency of frame errors or hand-shake errors, as the case may be, exceeds a respective limit. Then, an alarm indicative of the communication range limit is output and a link reestablishment request is transmitted. Monitoring of the error rates may alternatively be effected by the base station.
