Inventor: JACOBS BERNARDUS ANTONIUS J
IPC: G11B11/105
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: A device for writing, reading and erasing a magneto-optical record carrier (6) is described. The magnetic field for writing and erasing is generated by a coil with a winding (10) arranged between a lens (3), which focuses optical radiation on the record carrier (6), and this record carrier. According to the invention the coil has a core (11) of a transparent material, in which core the vergence of the radiation beam is smaller than the vergence in the surrounding air. Consequently, the diameter of the coil can be reduced so that the generated magnetic field increases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reluctance motor. The significant features of the reluctance motor according to the invention are that the geometrical arrangement and design of the stator poles and actuator poles and the time response of the inductance and excitation current have been matched and optimised to one another. The actuator poles, which can be excited magnetically, represent regular hexagons which are wound from laminates in the form of strips and whose opposite tips are cut off, as a result of which two halves are produced which are separately provided with windings. The magnetic circuit is accordingly directed at right angles to the movement direction of the actuator, and the laminates of the stator pole and actuator pole run crossed over with respect to one another. The advantages achieved using the invention are essentially that the reluctance motor has a very uniform power effect and thus improved quiet running, that the stator does not consist of long laminates as in the past but of short laminate elements and production is in consequence simple and extremely cheap, and that the free intermediate space between the stator poles can be used for cooling purposes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention provides a system in which a photoelectric sensor having a transparent electrode and a photoconductive layer formed on a transparent substrate in this order is opposed to a liquid crystal recording medium having a transparent electrode and a polymer dispersion type of liquid crystal layer formed on a transparent substrate in this order, and voltage is applied between both the electrodes for exposure to image-carrying light, so that the liquid crystals are oriented to record the information. In this system, the transmittance of the liquid crystal recording medium, the current flowing through the photoelectric sensor or liquid crystal recording medium, the conductivity of the unexposed portion of the photoelectric sensor, and the transmittance of the liquid crystal layer at a dark portion are measured, or the voltage applied on the liquid crystal recording medium is estimated by monitoring the current flowing through the liquid crystal recording medium, so that the applied voltage and the duration of the applied voltage can be controlled. Before recording the information, the optimal applied voltage and the optimal duration of the applied voltage can thus be preset to make it possible to obtain images of high quality.

Abstract: A method for determining engine load of a spark ignition internal combustion engine. The method includes the steps of charging an ignition transformer to a maximum ignition charge and initiating an ignition discharge between electrodes of the spark plug. The ignition transformer is then charged to a predetermined diagnostic charge which is less than said maximum ignition charge. The diagnostic charge is discharged at a time of the combustion cycle where pressure in the combustion cylinder is dependent on engine load. The duration diagnostic discharge is then monitored and subsequently correlated to engine load. In this manner, the spark plug is used as a feedback element in determining engine load. Further also detection of misfire, autoignition and preignition. Use is made of special CPP ignition transformers which are able to refire at short intervals. Multispark ignition applied during hard engine operating conditions e.g. cold starting.

Abstract: An air bag assembly for a motor vehicle comprising an air bag (20) including when deflated first and second major side walls (34,36) adjacent to and substantially parallel to one another such that when deflated the air bag is in a substantially non-rolled and non-folded condition with the first and second side walls in contact with one another. 
     The air bag (20) is stored in a door (12) of a motor vehicle in a position which can reduce deployment time and provide reliable orientation of the air bag upon deployment. The air bag is mounted in an upper portion (22) of the door (12), and an inflator (24) is mounted in a lower portion (26) of the door (12). The inflator (24) is in communication with the air bag (20) via a connecting air bag (28) which provides added padding upon inflation. A soft flexible material (32) overlies the air bag (20) to hide the air bag (20) from view as well as to retain the air bag in a non-rolled condition. The soft flexible material (32) is adhesively attached or stapled to an inner trim panel (30) of the door (12) and becomes detached from the inner trim panel (30) when the air bag inflates to push the soft flexible material (32) away from the inner trim panel (30) so that the air bag (20) can reach its inflated position.

Abstract: An apparatus for diagnosing the presence and location of faults within a vehicle's electrical system includes a signal generator for generating an a.c. test signal; a switching circuit connected to an interface between the system's ECU and the system's components for selectively and sequentially applying the a.c. test signal into each electrical lead therein; and a first detector connected to the system's common ground for detecting the system's response to the applied signals, thereby obtaining a set of transitory characteristics for the vehicle's electrical system. The apparatus further includes an EPROM within which a set of reference characteristics for the vehicle's electrical system is stored; a comparator means for comparing the detected transitory characteristics with the stored set of reference characteristics; and a diagnostic processor responsive to the comparator means for diagnosing the presence of a fault when the detected transitory characteristics of the vehicle's electrical system deviate significantly from the stored set of reference characteristics therefor. Upon diagnosing the presence of a fault within the vehicle's electrical system, a d.c. test signal is injected under the control of the diagnostic processor using the switching circuit only into the lead or leads of the interface deemed responsible for the deviant system output. A second detector likewise connected by the switching means only to those leads deemed responsible for the deviant system output detects the reflection of the d.c. test signal for use by the diagnostic processor in determining the location of any existing fault relative to the interface.
