Patent EP-0292066-A3 (EP)
IPC: F24F11/04
Filed: 1988-05-17
Abstract: The invention lies in the area of controlling, for 
example countering, transport of moisture from the crawl 
space located beneath a building to the space inside that 
building.  
     The basic cause of moisture transport from the 
crawl space to the house is the difference in pressure between 
the crawl space and the house.  
     The invention proposes a method of the type referred 
to which comprises the following steps: 
   (1) ascertaining of the pressure side (i.e. the 
side on which the wind is directed) of the building, and of 
the suction side (i.e. the side away from the pressure side),    (2) the arranging of at least one first ventilation 
opening on the pressure side and at least one second ventila­
tion opening on the suction side, which ventilation openings 
connect the crawl space with the surrounding air, and    (3) selecting of the (first) passage surface area 
of the first ventilation opening and the (second) passage 
surface area of the second ventilation opening such that the 
second passage surface area is a preselected number of times 
greater than the first passage surface area.

Title: Valves for controlling water supply
IPC: F16K31/04
Filed: 1988-08-09
Abstract: A motorised valve, Figure 2, is provided with a 
solenoid operated clutch (36) which is energised when the 
valve is in operation and which can be de-energised, for 
example on power failure to allow the valve to be 
instantaneously driven to a closed position. The valve 
has a motor with a non-circular shaft driving the screw (34) 
of a screw and nut mechanism in which the nut (30) carries the 
valve closure element (24), and the clutch comprises a 
plurality of balls (52) carried by a cage and held in 
engagement with the screw by a clutch ring (54) which is held 
in the operative position by the solenoid. De-­
energisation of the solenoid allows the ring to be 
spring-driven allowing the balls to disengage from the 
groove and allowing the screw to be displaced out of the 
cage by the driving spring.

Title: Fuel delivery system heater
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1988-11-07
Abstract: A heated coupling (20) for a fuel delivery system is provided 
particularly adapted for use with diesel 
engine (26) powered vehicles. When 
the fuel systems are exposed to low ambient temperatures fuel clouding 
and waxing can occur, which restricts fuel flow to the associated engine. 
Fuel clogging problems are particularly acute at the fuel tank outlet and 
in the coupling at the fuel outlet. In accordance with this invention, a 
heating means such as an electrical heater (28) 
is provided for increasing the 
temperature of those fuel clogging areas to reduce wax accumulation. In 
accordance with an alternate embodiment, 
a passive heating element (44) is 
used which is in thermal engagement with an active heating element to 
conduct heat into the fuel reservoir.

Title: Elastomer-coated fabric products and process for producing the same
IPC: B29C70/22
Filed: 1988-12-16
Abstract: Elastomer-coated fabric products (30) having predetermined potential extension in the fabric's machine direction and processes for producing the same are provided. The fabric product (30) of the invention preferably includes an elastomer-coated warp-knit, weft-insert fabric (32) whereby the warp knit yarns (38) provide a first potential elongation (as by selection of the type and/or denier of yarns employed). The fabric (32) is compressed in the machine direction (as by overfeeding the fabric to a tenter frame (18) during production) so as to provide a second potential elongation, and is maintained in its compressed state by virtue of the elastomer coating (34) thereon. The first and second elongation potentials thus collectively establish the total potential elongation for the fabric (32) in the machine direction. The cross-machine yarns (36), however, are chosen for their inextensible properties so that the fabric product (30) of this invention will provide lateral support to end use products employing the same as a reinforcing medium, such as tires, power transmission belts, conveyor belts, and the like.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission has a drive 
pulley having a shiftable disc, a driven pulley having a 
shiftable disc, a belt engaged with both pulleys, a spool 
type transmission ratio control valve (90) having a plunger (93) 
slidably mounted in the valve body, and a spring (94) provided 
between the plunger (93) and the spool (92). A selector device is 
provided for selecting the engine speed driving range (110). The 
selector device has an actuator (120) responsive to the selection 
of a high engine speed driving range for shifting the 
plunger (93) so as to increase the load on the spring (94), and a 
correcting lever (128) for controlling the operation of the 
actuator (120) in accordance with the transmission ratio. The 
correcting lever has a shape for providing a transmission 
ratio changing characteristic which is such that the 
transmission ratio changes with small changes of the engine 
speed in an extremely low vehicle speed range, but changes 
with larger change of the engine speed in low and middle 
vehicle speed ranges above the extremely low vehicle speed 
range.  
     The actual transmission ratio is fed back to the system by the 
relative position of the shiftable disc (36b) via a sensor shoe (85) 
acting on a line pressure valve spool (82) and the correcting lever 
(128).

Title: Micro-probe for gas sampling
IPC: A61B5/145
Filed: 1989-04-03
Abstract: A catheter probe 10 for use in the analysis of gases 
absorbed in liquids, particularly suitable for the in vivo 
analysis of blood gases, the probe 10 includes an equili­
bration chamber 24 disposed within the active length of 
the probe at the distal end 12 of the probe 10 and which 
is surrounded by a gas permeable membrane 22. A carrier 
gas is introduced into the probe 10 and enters the 
equilibration chamber 24 where the gas sought to be 
analyzed from the blood equilibrates with the carrier gas 
and forms a bolus of sample gas. That bolus is then 
caused to flow out of the probe 10 to an analyzer. The 
equilibration chamber 24 is formed of an elongated, 
tortuous path that allows a high surface area to unit 
volume ratio, that is, the ratio of the area of the 
equilibration chamber 24 that is immediately beneath the 
gas permeable chamber to the volume of the flow path 
though the equilibration chamber 24 is high. Preferable 
the equilibration chamber is formed as a spiral path. The 
cross-sectional area of all of the paths through which 
carrier gas passes through the catheter probe are designed 
to be substantially the same to minimize mixing of the 
bolus of carrier gas containing the blood gases with the 
non-equilibrated carrier gas.

Patent EP-0383259-A3 (EP)
Title: Free-electron laser oscillator
IPC: H01S3/09
Filed: 1990-02-13
Abstract: In a free-electron laser oscillator, two laser beams 
(LB₁, LB₂) having different wavelengths are irradiated to a 
photoemitter (3) to generate an electron beam (EB). The electron 
beam (EB) is density-modulated by a frequency corresponding 
to a difference between frequencies of the two laser beams 
(LB₁ LB₂), and accelerated to a vicinity of light velocity 
by a microwave. Such a relative theory electron beam is 
directed into a periodical magnetic field generated by a 
helical wigglar (6) and a track thereof is deflected. As a 
result, a synchrotron radiation light is generated from 
the relative theory electron beam. The radiation light 
generates an electromagnetic field by itself. Thus, 
electromagnetic interaction takes place among the 
electromagnetic field, the periodical magnetic field and 
the relative theory electron beam, and the laser 
oscillation is started. A power of the laser beam (LB) 
irradiated to the photoemitter (3) may be reduced because 
the two laser beams (LB₁ LB₂) having different wavelengths are 
irradiated to the photoemitter (3) and the electron beam (EB) is 
bunched in accordance with the difference between 
frequencies.
