Abstract: Each of combustion chambers 37 in a cylinder head 8 and an opening 45 in a cylinder block/cylinder head coupling surface 36 are connected to each other by a pair of exhaust passages 42.  A cooling water passage 94 is defined within a partition wall  44 partitioning both the exhaust passages  42,  and constitutes a portion of a cooling water jacket for cooling portions near the exhaust passages 42.  The cooling water passage 94 extends within the partition wall 44 to near each of the combustion chamber 37 and moreover, communicates with a cooling water jacket in a cylinder block through openings 83 and 87.  Thus, the cooling performance for the water-cooled engine including the pair of exhaust passage for each of the combustion chambers can be enhanced.

Abstract: A bomb disposal unit is disclosed comprising a resilient inner container, containment means, bomb support means for supporting an explosive charge within the inner container, a resilient base and a ballistic blanket. The inner container ras a peripheral wall with vent holes, a closed bottom and an open top. The preferred containment means is a plurality of stacked tubeless tires having a hole tied together with rope. The tires are placed on the resilient base. The inner container is placed within the hole of the stacked tires. A ballistic blanket is placed over the top of the inner container and is draped around the tires. Upon detonation, a portion of the blast escapes the inner container to the tires through the vent holes. Some of the portion of the blast escapes between the tires before they inflate. The remainder of the portion inflates the tires which help prevent the egress of fragmentation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making paint roller covers by spirally advancing a thermoplastic tubular form past a plurality of electronic corona discharge heads arranged in a helical path around the tubular form to subject substantially the entire exterior surface of the tubular form to high frequency, high voltage sparks as the tubular form spirally advances past the heads to make substantially the entire exterior surface more receptive to adhesion when a uniform layer of epoxy adhesive is subsequently applied to the treated exterior surface of the tubular form. Next a fabric strip is spirally wrapped over the epoxy adhesive to bond the fabric strip to the tubular form. To make the exterior surface of the tubular form still more receptive to adhesion, the exterior surface may be preheated immediately prior to treating the exterior surface with high voltage sparks. Also, the fabric backing may be preheated immediately prior to spirally wrapping the fabric strip over the epoxy adhesive layer to minimize the amount of heat dissipated into the fabric. Further, a uniform pressure may be applied to the exterior surface of the fabric after the fabric has been applied over the epoxy adhesive layer to insure an even, uniform adherence of the fabric to the tubular form over substantially the entire surface area of the fabric backing.

Title: Hdtv video frame synchronizer that provides clean digital video without variable delay
Inventor: NEMIROFF ROBERT
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1999-07-02
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A system for processing a sequence of video or other data frames at a data encoder (100) during a sync loss. During a sync loss of input data at a video or other data encoder, substitute data such as black video (142) is used to provide complete "clean" data frames to a compressor (150) at the encoder (100). Artifacts due to compression and encoding of partial frames are avoided. If a sync loss is detected in the middle of a particular data frame that is input to the encoder, the remainder of the frame is completed with substitute data (142) which is in sync with the earlier data in the frame. Additional complete frames of the substitute data are provided to the compressor (150) following the particular data frame, still in sync with the particular frame, until such time that a sync recovery is detected, and a field or frame check is performed on the new, post-sync loss, data to gain confidence of the sync recovery. A null signal (143) may be provided to the compressor after the last substitute frame, and prior to the post-sync loss frame after the frame in which the field or frame check occurs. Different frame and video clock rates in the post- versus pre-sync loss frames are automatically accounted for.

L'ensemble optique perçoit le rayonnement magnétique émanant de chacun des éléments volumiques avec une distribution perçue qui chute de manière sensiblement monotone à partir d'une seconde région d'un second chemin optique. Les première et seconde régions se chevauchent au moins partiellement dans chacun des éléments volumiques. Le détecteur détecte le rayonnement électromagnétique perçu émanant de chacun des éléments volumiques éclairés en séquence de manière à produire des réponses représentatives de la caractéristique de chacun des éléments volumiques.

A fourth fixed wall section lies in a plane behind the front section of the grille. An insert is provided, which has a back section and a front wall. The front wall is configured to be coplanar with each of the three fixed wall sections when the back section of the insert is placed in confronting relation with the fourth fixed wall section. Structure is provided for removably attaching the insert to the grille to retain the insert to the back section in the aforementioned confronting relation. The insert may be a narrow insert having a width, which is substantially comparable to that of the three wall sections or, alternatively, may be configured to substantially completely overlie the opening. When the insert is configured to substantially completely overlie the opening, the structure for removably attaching the insert is configured to allow the insert to pivot between a position overlying the opening and a second position where it does not overlie the opening.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement to the assay for creatinine in fluid test samples by contacting the test sample with a reagent formulation containing cupric ions, a hydroperoxide and an oxidizable dye. The improvement involves the inclusion of one or more selected quinolines in the reagent formulation. When the quinoline is substituted with methyl in the 2-5 position and/or a methoxy in the 2-6 position auto-oxidation of the oxidizable dye is reduced. When the quinoline is further substituted in an otherwise unsubstituted carbon atom in the 2-8 position, the assay's resistance to interference from hemoglobin and ascorbate is increased.

Abstract: A planar overrunning coupling includes a pair of coaxial, rotatable coupling plates (10, 20) situated in close proximity, and a strut retainer plate (22) disposed therebetween. Struts (38) nominally carried ins recesses (26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36) formed in one coupling plate (20) are normally urged into engagement with recesses (48) formed in the oth er coupling plate (10) by a spring (52) disposed beneath each strut (38).

When the retainer plate (22) is in a second angul ar position relative to the one coupling plate (20), an aperture (46) is no longer registered with the given strut (38), and the retainer pla te (22) prevents the given strut (38) from engaging the other coupling plate (10), thereby eliminating the deleterious ratcheting contact between the given strut (38) and the other coupling plate (10).
