Abstract: The present invention relates to a washing machine that can be contained in small volumes, consisting of a modular water tank unit in order to allow the continuity of washing during interruptions of main water supply, or a modular storage unit to be used for different purposes; with superior performance, having a drive system that realizes the intelligent washing movements. By direct connection of the drive system to the drum, the height of the washing machine has been reduced to the extent that it conforms to the tank diameter thus permitting the use of the section at the lower part of the machine reserved for the motor, for various purposes. As the result of this reduction in the height of the washing machine and as the directly connected drive system causes less vibration, it has been possible to use the washing machine by placing it on a counter or by mounting it on the wall.

Abstract: A fuel injector (40) to inject fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion
engine when installed therein, the engine having a high-pressure fuel supply which
delivers fuel to the injector (40) and a lowpressure fuel return which removes fuel from
the injector. The injector (40) has an injector body (42) which defines an interior cavity
(46), a movable needle valve (54) which cooperates with the interior body to define a
variable-volume control chamber (50) and valve means for selectively permitting fluid
communication between the control chamber (50) and (1) the high-pressure fuel
supply (48); and (2) the low pressure fuel return (52). Such fluid communication
permits controlled variation of the volume of the control chamber (50) which, in turn,
varies the position of the needle valve (54) to selectively permit or prevent fluid
communication between the high-pressure fuel supply (48) and the engine cylinder.
The valve means for selectively permitting fluid communication is preferably force
balanced by relatively low forces acting thereon.

Abstract: The twist-woven (1a) strip (1) is cut (14) from the body of the woven fabric (2), and wound on, carrying away the weft thread ends (3). Twist threads involved, being breakage-resistant, are recirculated continuously, to make further twist-woven strip, maintaining the process. An Independent claim is included for equipment carrying out the process. It includes a control unit (9) and an edge twister (5) with reversible rotor (5a) for the twist fibers. A twist reverser and winder (6, 10) advance the twist strip (1a). The weft thread end extractor (8) intervenes. Pulleys return the continuous twist threads back to the start. Preferred features: Twist weave winding proceeds in synchronism with production, or alternatively, asynchronously. Weft fiber ends are sorted according to their material type, into separate collection bins. The twist threads are endless, and made of weldable material. Removal or collection of weft fiber ends is carried out under programmed process control.

Abstract: In a scanning system converting system for
a display unit, a decoder (1) decodes a coded
image data to output a decoded image data and a
control data. The coded image data is obtained by
coding a first image data, and the control data
indicates whether a scanning system of the first
image data is a progressive scanning system or an
interlace scanning system and whether fields of
the first image data are correlated. A control
section (3e, 3f) selectively generates the
effective indication signal and first and second
control signals based on the control data
supplied from the decoder. A converting section
(3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3g, 3h, 3i, 3j) selectively
outputs, as a second image data, one of a current
field of the decoded image data, a previous field
of the decoded image data and an interpolated
image data for every line based on the first and
second control signals supplied from the control
section. The interpolated image data is
interpolated from the current field of the
decoded image data for a current line and at
least one line associated with the current line. 
A transfer section (4) transfers the second image
data to the display unit in response to the
effective indication signal.

is to be immersed. The cooled gaseous phase is circulated through a vessel
containing the mass, recovered, recooled and recirculated until the mass and its
containment vessel are at the desired precooling temperature. Thereafter cryogenic
liquid can be introduced into the vessel to immerse the mass.

Abstract: A dithered Coriolis acceleration sensor system has a proof mass that is
free of feedback in the accelerometer servo loop at the dither frequency by
totally notching out all feedback torque at this frequency. The proof mass
relative motion is then a direct measure of the rate because there is no
feedback torque to alter the proof mass response to the acceleration. The
feedback modulation system according to the invention captures the Coriolis-sensor
output such that the phase and gain of the signal generated from the
sensor are of no concern in maintaining good scale factor.
