Abstract: The present invention, provides an automatic nailer system, for securing nailed ferrules (1) to a substrate, comprising: 
    a body (12) defining a generally cylindrical channel (14) for receiving a nailed ferrule with the nail and the channel being approximately coaxial; 
    a hammer rod (16) reciprocable within the channel between a retracted position and an extended position; 
    means for feeding a nailed ferrule into the channel when the hammer rod is in its retracted position; and 
    a collet mechanism (26, 28) comprising a plurality of collet pieces (42) which are biased to move radially to abut one another and define a passage (44); 
    the passage having a tapered section (46) which at its opening (36) has a cross-sectional size and shape generally the same as those of the channel and leading at its other end into a generally cylindrical section (48) for receiving coaxially and snugly the nail of a nailed ferrule, 
    the collet mechanism being located on the end of the body remote from the hammer rod such that the channel and the passage are coaxial and the wider end of the tapered section is adjacent the channel, and the free end of the hammer rod in its extended position extending at least as far as the wider end of the tapered section of the passage. 
     The invention also provides a collet mechanism for use with the automatic nailer system.

Abstract: A miniature full-page video display which mounts at least one row of light-emitting elements (18) such as LEDs, a collimating lens, and a vibrating mirror in a light-tight box (12) having an opening (14) through which the mirror (22) may be viewed. The LEDs are selectively illuminated at points in the travel of the vibrating mirror (22), resulting in rows of pixels being projected at selected points on the mirror to provide a two-dimensional image. Two or more rows of light-emitting diodes (18A, 18B), each of a different color, may be adjacently mounted and selectively illuminated in a manner such that corresponding LEDs are projected on the same spot on the mirror, resulting in a color image. The light box (12) may be a hand-held device or it may be mounted to glasses, a headband or a similar device, and the virtual image appearing at the mirror may be viewed directly through an opening (14) in the box or through a suitable optical system (12').

Abstract: A method of controlling clutch operation, for a vehicle having a transmission and clutch means, comprises setting a reference capacity of said clutch means corresponding to a parameter representing vehicle speed and an accelerator opening representing a driver's intention of acceleration or deceleration: and controlling the degree of the engine power transmitted to the wheels by adjusting the capacity of said clutch means so as to coincide with said reference capacity. 
     A method of determining clutch engagement completion in a continuously variable speed transmission comprises setting a lower limit of an expected clutch engagement completion vehicle speed corresponding to an accelerator opening representing an operator's intention of acceleration and deceleration, determining, in vehicle start, that said clutch valve is closed to engage the clutch completely when it is detected that vehicle speed is above the lower limit and the opening of said clutch valve is below a given opening, and permitting subsequent speed ratio control.

Abstract: A pneumatic spring has a cylindrical housing (1) and a piston rod (4) which is led out of the said housing in a sealed manner and is arranged coaxially therein. The piston rod (4) has a taper (23) which, in its pushed-in position, interacts with a seal (15). The seal (15) is designed to be radially flexible and is provided with a radially flexible supporting ring (13), acting axially, which has webs (24) that run parallel to the axis (5) and are elastically movable radially with respect to the axis (5), against which webs (24) the seal (15) rests. The purpose of this design is to reduce the thrust force of the pneumatic spring when the piston rod is pushed in, the intention being to ensure a reliable seal in all operating positions at the same time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-gas shift process which is carried out in a non-aqueous, high boiling liquid medium, either in an ebullated or slurry mode. The function of the liquid is to provide a heat sink for the exothermic reaction thereby allowing for better performance and longer catalyst life. The process, termed "liquid phase shift" (LPS) preferably uses commercially available vapor-phase low temperature shift (LTS) catalysts to accomplish the shift reaction. Because of the isothermality of the LPS process and its ability therefore to take advantage of higher catalyst activity, the average operating temperature is typically 260°C (500°F). This compares favorably to the lower average operating temperature for the conventional vapor-phase LTS process, which is typically 240°C (465°F). In addition, the LPS process can handle high carbon monoxide content feeds, e.g. 75 vol% carbon monoxide on a dry basis, without experiencing excessive catalyst deactivation. High carbon monoxide content feeds cannot be handled by convention LTS processing.

Abstract: The present invention involves a portable computer unit contained with a substantially planar housing (10) of mini­mal thickness adapted to be transported in a ring-type notebook binder (30). Specifically, the housing includes an upper section (32) having a plurality of openings (34) which are sized to receive the binder rings (38). Once the binder rings (38) are inserted within the openings (32) of the housing, the entire computer unit may be easily trans­ported within the binder. Transport in this manner also obscures the computer from view, diminishing the possibility of theft.

Abstract: Plural cylinders which are not continual in an intake process are formed at each bank (1F, 1R) of a V-type engine (1). In the case where a collecting intake passage (14F, 14R) is connected to each cylinder at both banks (the first and the second) through the medium of independent intake passages (20F, 20R) (the first and the second) which pass between both banks and have the same channel length, each said independent intake passage is so adapted that it extends from a cylinder substantially perpendicularly and upwardly. Both collecting intake passages (14F, 14R) (the first and the second) are arranged on the first bank, of which the collecting intake passage (14F) which is connected to a cylinder of the second bank (1F) is arranged on the second independent intake passage (20F). By doing so, overlapping of both collecting intake passages can be avoided and thus the height of an induction system can be made lower. The independent intake passage (20F) and the collecting intake passage (14F) which overlaps the former have a common passage wall. 
     The collecting intake passage is composed integrally by an intake passage for high speed (33F,R) and an intake passage for low speed (33F,R) to be connected to the former. By varying the positions in vertical direction of intake passages for high speed at each bank, an intake passage for low speed to be connected to an intake passage for high speed on the low   side is arranged at the upper side of an intake passage for high speed and an intake passage for low speed to be connected to an intake passage for high speed on the high side is arranged at the side of an intake passage for high speed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for receiving the rear lights of a vehicle, said device consisting of a centre part receiving the number plate and the number plate lights and of two outer parts receiving the rear signalling lights, it being possible to insert the outer parts and the centre part into one another. Devices of this kind have been manufactured until now from plastic using the injection moulding method or deep-drawing method and require a great deal of working expenditure due to their double wiring or open walls. A further disadvantage consists in the fact that a multiplicity of individual parts makes a complete assembly by a person not skilled in the art impossible and its impact-absorbing property was not provided in the previous types. In order to avoid these disadvantages, the central part which receives the number plate and the number plate lights and the outer parts which receive the two rear signalling lights are constructed as blowing moulded bodies. This device is predominately used in the construction of motor vehicles or trailer vehicles. <IMAGE>
