Patent EP-0556610-A3 (EP)
IPC: A63C7/10
Filed: 1993-01-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a device aimed at modifying the pressure distribution of a ski, such as, in particular, an alpine ski, over its sliding surface (surface-sole). The device is characterised in that it comprises a sensor member (60) capable of sensing the vertical stresses of the boot and, moreover, linking means (43, 44) for transmitting at least towards one of the ends of the ski in the form of a bending moment a part at least of the vertical thrust of the boot downwards sensed by the sensor (60). The linking means (43, 44) comprise calibrating means (43, 44, 55) for inducing a prestress. The linking means have, furthermore, a sensor (60) sensitive to the presence or the absence of the boot in order automatically to control the calibrating means in accordance with the presence or the absence of the boot. The invention also relates to a ski brake. The brake arms are carried by one of the levers (44) constituting the linking and calibrating means.

Abstract: In order to apply hot grit particles 2 to a continuous
thermoplastic web 12 such as a geonet, the web 12 is
brought to the upper part of the surface of a roller 3
which is rotating in a container 1 containing grit
particles 2. A controlled layer of grit particles is
carried up over the upper part of the roller 3, and the
particles are heated by halogen emitters 10 and are
pressed into the web 12, causing local melting of the
web 12 so that the grit particles are embedded and
firmly retained. Grit particles 2 are added to a hopper
1 b  and the top surface of the mass of grit particles 2
adjacent the ascending part of the roller surface is
kept at a controlled level below the uppermost part of
the roller 3. Surplus grit particles not taken up by
the web 12 are recirculated by interaction with the
roller surface.

Title: Verfahren zur Herstellung von Bremsbacken

IPC: F16D65/08
Filed: 1996-05-29
Abstract: Nach üblichen Verfahren hergestellte Bremsbacken, deren Trägerteil und Reibungsteil
aus einem Material hergestellt sind, weisen aufgrund der im Preßverfahren
entstehenden Gase, die nur schwer entweichen können, inhomogene Gefüge aus. Bei
der Verwendung unterschiedlicher Materialien beim Trägerteil und Reibteil erweisen
sich die Grenzflächen als kritisch. 
Dadurch werden die geforderten Festigkeitseigenschaften der Beläge, insbesondere
bei hohen Scherbelastungen in der Bremse, nicht erreicht. 
     Zur Vermeidung dieser Nachteile wird eine Reibbelagmischung, bestehend aus
Faserbestandteilen, Bindemitteln, Füllstoffen und Reib- und Abriebmodifikatoren, innig
vermischt und mittels eines Schneckenextruders in ein Werkzeug gespritzt Die
gespritzte einteilige Bremsbacke wird nach teilweisem Abinden dem Werkzeug
entnommen und anschließend einem Temperprozeß unterzogen. 
     Derartig hergestellte Bremsbacken eignen sich u.a. wegen des geringeren Gewichtes
gegenüber üblichen Bremsbacken und des homogenen Gefüges ideal zum Einsatz in
allen Bremsentypen von Kraftfahrzeugen.

Abstract: The vignette includes a reflector which does not change the polarisation state. The reflector has a large acceptance angle. An element is disposed in front of the reflector for changing the polarisation state. The polarising element holds information in coded form. A light source transmits polarised light, pref. in the IR region, to illuminate the vignette. The reflected light is received by a detector and an evaluator e.g. in a control vehicle where the light is analysed. The authenticity and/or validity of the vignette is determined based on the changed polarisation of the received light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antifuse element, in
particular an antifuse element having an antifuse layer formed
between interconnection layers, and the manufacturing method.
Conventionally, an antifuse layer was formed after an aperture was
formed through an interlayer insulating film; which resulted in a
thinner film thickness at the corner formed by inner wall surface
of the aperture and lower electrode layer. As it is very
difficult to control the film thickness of the thinnest part to a
specific value, control of the insulation breakdown voltage in
"off" state was difficult. 
     The present invention makes it easy to control the
insulation breakdown voltage, at the same time suppresses the
dispersion. The present invention also enables to control the
polarity of the current/voltage characteristics, suppresses the
leakage current, and avoids deterioration of the reliability in
"on" state. The invented antifuse layer has a flat shape of an
even thickness, and is comprised of a complexed film of amorphous
silicon film, silicon nitride film and silicon oxide film. The
antifuse electrode layer is of a titanium nitride, the film
thickness of which is thicker than the invasion length of a fuse
link into electrode layers. The step coverage of upper electrode
layer is set to be higher than 80%, through control of the film
thickness of the electrodes separating insulation film and the
tapered shape of aperture in antifuse region.

polyetherglycols (PEG) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC),
in the presence of a basic catalyst selected from the
group consisting of an oxide, a hydroxide, a carbonate
or an alcoholate of a metal belonging to the group of
alkaline or earth-alkaline metals and in the second
stage, the precursor, after being freed from the catalyst
and excess dimethylcarbonate (DMC), is converted
to polycarbonate copolyether diols (PEG CD) by transesterification
reaction with polyetherglycols (PEG) in
the presence of a solvent and an organometallic catalyst
selected from compounds of tin, lead, titanium,
zirconium and antimonium. 
     The polycarbonate polyether diols can be usefully

diameter so that it is hardly removed from the second end portion
of the sleeve when once pushed into the second end portion. In
one embodiment, the plug portion is twisted off from the bolt when
the bolt is twisted by a torque larger than a predetermined value

Abstract: A managed fuel air control system is provided that
transitions between a closed loop stoichiometric A/F mode
and an open loop lean A/F mode of operation. When
conditions permit open loop lean operation, the engine A/F
is ramped from stoichiometric to the desired lean A/F.
Periodically, while operating in the open loop lean mode,
the system returns to the closed loop stoichiometric mode to
update an open loop correction factor used during the open
loop lean mode. The time at stoichiometric is usually
limited to the time it takes to correct errors in
calibration data that have occurred during open loop
operation. During lean operation, the adaptive corrections
learned at stoichiometric A/F are applied.
