Abstract:
This invention relates to a corona discharge ignitor used to ignite air/fuel mixtures in automotive applications and the like. To suppress an arc from forming when a voltage is applied to the ignitor, the corona discharge ignitor has various shapes and configurations, such as angular depressions or grooves, at the tip of the insulator. The shape and configuration of the tip provides a smaller radius which creates a more intensified electric field and provides better combustion.

The invention relates to a method of measuring pressure in which an evacuated capsule (1) containing a resonant element (5) is placed in the fluid whose pressure is to be measured, a vibration characteristic of the element is measured, and the pressure is deduced from said characteristic. A resonant element is used which, during measurement, is to be found in a stress state that is close to buckling. For this purpose, it is possible to use heater means for heating the element and servo-controlled so as to keep the frequency of vibration thereof constant. The resonant element can be made of silicon. The invention is particularly applicable to oil wells.

A corona igniter 20 includes an insulator 28 surrounding a central electrode 24 and a shell 30 surrounding the insulator 28. The shell 30 presents a shell gap 38 having a shell gap width ws between a shell lower end 34 and a shell inner surface 90 or shell outer surface 92. The shell 30 has a shell thickness is decreasing toward the shell lower end 34 allowing the shell gap width ws to increase toward the shell lower end 34. The shell gap 38 is open at the shell lower end 34 allowing air to flow therein, and the shell gap width ws is greatest at the shell lower end 34. The increasing shell gap width ws enhances corona discharge 22 along the insulator 28 between the central electrode 24 and shell 30.

Abstract:
A self-propelled vehicle alternator used both as a generator and as an electric motor for starting the engine of the vehicle. A coil-carrying rotor and a multiphase stator connected to a bridge of diodes and switches for rectifying and controlling the phases cooperate for selective operation as a generator or starting motor. A control unit for the switches recognizes a code signal transmitted by a code transmitter and controls the phases of the stator to cause the alternator to operate as an electric motor and start the engine only if it receives a code signal from the transmitter authorizing starting.
