Patent DE-19723105-A1 (DE)
Inventor: ARQUISCH ERIC
IPC: F02D11/04
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: A throttle valve 12 control device 10 comprises a pedal 14 attached to the valve 12 via links 16A, 16B between which a switch 26 is interposed. The switch 26 has two relatively movable components 28, 30 which allow, when a drivers foot is removed from the pedal 14, the pedal 14 to be returned rapidly to its idle position by spring 22 whilst the return of the valve 12, and therefore linkage 18, to its idle position is retarded by damping device 24. This retardation separates the components 28, 30 thereby opening an electrical circuit that is detected by a computer 32 which, together with other information supplied by various sensors, eg gear lever force sensor, determines a declutching law and a clutch engagement law. In another embodiment a sensor may be connected to the pedal 14.

Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: The plant has a heating body (18) to generate warm air, with at least one cold air channel (26) directed past  the heating body and subsequently in the flow direction. Air mixing chambers (50-56) on the heating body are separated from one another by dividing walls (27).

From there it can be passed to an assigned climatization zone via at least one air channel (58-66) and at least one air exit nozzle in order to be able to supply air that can be brought separately to the right temperature to the individual climatization zones. In the installation position of the plant, the cold air channel is divided into four parallel part-channels (28) and is guided through below the heating body. Four mixing chambers are provided which are located beside one another and each extends over the full height of the heating body. To each mixing chamber is assigned one of the airflow control elements, designed as a mixing flap. The mixing flaps are located in the flow direction before the heating body. In their one end position, each seals off a part-channel of the cold air channel. In their other end position, each covers a part-region of an air entry side of the heating body and they can adopt intermediate positions.

Patent DE-19750593-A1 (DE)
Title: Automatic vehicle gear transmission
Inventor: JANISZEWSKI GRZEGORZ
IPC: F16H3/093
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: Each coupling has its own pump (48,49) to produce the actuating pressure as regulated by valves (54,55) forming part of the same coupling. The pump comprises a pair of opposd counter-rotating plates (48,49) connected respectively to the intermediate shaft (3) and the spur gear and the plates are so shaped and housed in a housing of highly viscous fluid that counter-rotation of the two plates pumps fluid by friction into the cylinder (46) for the activating piston (45). The coupling of a spur gear engaged in a gear above first when driving is so related to a coupling engaged with a lower gear that the higher geared coupling also transmits torque in bottom gear. An axially adjusting control sleeve (51) concentric to the coupling can be positioned in neutral so that sleeve-connected parts (53) hold the valves (54,55) so they cancel the pumping plate action (48,49) regardless of speed. When axially offset from neutral into switching position, the sleeve sets the valves so as to feed fluid into the piston cylinder.

Inventor: STARZACHER ANDREAS DIPL ING
IPC: H05B33/26
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of electroluminescent elements on the basis of a so-called planar electrode arrangement (8a, 8b), whereby the modifications in accordance with the invention enable a substantial increase of the luminous power to be attained. To strengthen the electric field and hence increase the brightness, a special multilayer technology is employed. The electric field may be further strengthened by a film having a high dielectric constant. Preferably, a customary printed circuit board is used as the supporting board, so that the process in which the electroluminescent element is manufactured can be directly integrated in the printed- circuit-board manufacturing process. A further advantage of the invention is that the printed circuit boards provided with the optical components in accordance with the invention can be soldered by means of customary solder processes.
