摘要:
Disclosed are electrorheological (ER) fluids which display improved stability against sedimentation, reduced current density and good ER responses. Thes=e ER fluids are prepared from monomers which are polymerized by dispersion polymerization in a low conductivity medium which also serves as the dispersion medium for the fluid. The ER fluids are further processed by modifying the polymer particles through polymerization of a hydrophilic monomer to form a hydrophilic shell or globule around the particles followed by neutralization through addition of an organic soluble base. The resulting dispersion is then doped with water to obtain a stable ER fluid. The hydrophilic shell or globule constitutes about 15% of the particle. Water dopant is only absorbed by the hydrophilic portion of the particle and does not enter into the core of the particle. The quantity of water is significantly reduced, which in turn results in a significant reduction of the current density at any given comparative voltage.

A blood sample/fluid system includes a pair of tubes formed of identically shaped concentric cylinders, each closed at one end and open at the other end and having different diameters enabling the reduced diameter tube to be positioned in the enlarged diameter tube. A locking ring is positioned around the outer surface of the reduced diameter tube to provide a spacer and seal for the enlarged diameter tube. An identifying label is positioned on the outer surface of the enlarged diameter tube for providing identity for both tubes when the tubes are engaged and for the enlarged diameter tube when the reduced diameter tube is removed from the enlarged diameter tube.

A zener diode is connected at one end via a first impedance to a first power terminal. The base-to-emitter junctions of first and second transistors are connected in parallel between the other end of the zener diode and a second power terminal. The collector of the first transistor is connected to the one end of the zener diode to regulate the zener current and hence the zener voltage. A third transistor is coupled at its base to the one end of the zener and its emitter is connected to an output terminal to produce an output voltage which is a function of the zener voltage. The collector of the second transistor is connected to the emitter of the third transistor to pass a current through the third transistor which is approximately equal to the current through the first and second transistors whereby the base-to emitter junction of the third transistor and its temperature variations have little, if any, effect on the output voltage.

An internal combustion engine direct injection fuel injector system includes a fuel rail which is welded to a fuel rail bracket. A fuel rail mounting sleeve has a flange and is bolted to the engine cylinder head. The bracket fits around the flange and is held in place by a steel washer and a pair of stepped isolator washers which are positioned in pockets formed on either side of the bracket. The isolator washers serve as springs which form a shock absorber between the bracket and cylinder head. Compression forces on the bracket and isolator washers are controlled by bolt tension.

Water wet nitrocellulose, butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate monomers and phosphate surfactant are emulsified into an oil-in-water emulsion and polymerized to produce a nitrocellulose/acrylic latex emulsion with a particle size below 0.25 microns. Wood finishing lacquers produced from this latex emulsion are equivalent in performance to solvent lacquers while lowering VOC to below 2.3 lb/gal.
摘要:
A semiconductor junction clamps a signal to a reference potential. A comparator senses the difference between the reference potential and the signal potential and causes a controllable bias current supply to selectively apply a forward bias to the junction when the signal is of a polarity sense tending to forward bias the junction.

A direct fuel injection fuel system includes a fuel rail cap and a fuel injector received within the fuel rail cap. A clip extends through slots in the fuel rail cap and engages the fuel rail to support the fuel rail within the fuel rail cap. The fuel rail cap includes a groove adjoining the slots to accept a portion of the clip. The clip engages a shoulder on the fuel injector assembly. The shoulder may be on the injector body or on an adapter secured to the injector body.
摘要:
Disclosed are electrorheological (ER) fluids which display improved stability against sedimentation, reduced current density and good electrorheological response. These ER fluids are prepared from monomers which are polymerized by dispersion polymerization in a low conductivity medium which in most embodiments of the invention serves as the dispersion medium for the fluid. the ER fluids are further processed by modifying the polymer particles through polymerization of a hydrophilic monomer to form a hydrophilic shell or globule around the particles. The resulting dispersion is then doped with water to obtain a stable ER fluid. The hydrophilic shell or globule constitutes a minor part of the particle. Water dopant is only absorbed by the hydrophilic portion of the particle and does not enter into the core of the particle. The quantity of water is significantly reduced, which in turn results in a significant reduction of the current density at any given applied field strength.

Improved series and shunt switching cells for selectively switching an RF input signal to an output over a wide range of frequencies and in a linear manner. The series cell includes an input FET which has the source electrode clamped by means of a diode clamping circuit. The diode clamping circuit is in series with a second FET which has applied to the gate electrode a control voltage. A third FET has its source electrode connected to the source electrode of the second FET and has the drain electrode coupled through a diode to the drain electrode of the second FET. The drain electrode of the third FET is coupled to the gate electrode of a fourth FET where the source electrode of the fourth FET controls a series switching FET to enable the input signal to be switched to the output. The series switching FET has its source to drain path in series with a gate electrode of a fifth FET with the source electrode of the fifth FET coupled through a resistor to the drain electrode of the second FET and to the drain electrode of a sixth FET with the sixth FET having its source electrode coupled to the source electrodes of the second and third FETs and the gate electrode for receiving a control signal of opposite polarity to the control signal applied to the gate electrode of the second FET. The switch is a series cell which provides linear switching of the input signal to an output over a wide range of frequencies. A shunt cell also incorporates diode clamping means as well as the additional diode and resistor to enable one to again accurately switch an input signal to an output terminal over a wide range of frequencies in an extremely linear manner and according to the first and second control signals of opposite polarity which are applied to respective FETs included in the shunt circuit.
摘要:
A particulate water-soluble polymer is dispersed in a liquid medium comprised of low molecular weight polyethylene glycol, water and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol in amounts sufficient to impart stability to the dispersion. The dispersion is used in a process for dispersing the water-soluble polymer into aqueous solutions, such as latex paints, comprising preparing the dispersion and feeding the dispersion into the aqueous solution. The dispersion has excellent dispersion stability and fluidity, and is easier to handle and has a higher dissolution rate than the dry powder (particulate) form of the water-soluble polymer.
