摘要： A valve structure that includes a housing, a valve element, and a seal. The housing includes a first communication path between a first port at a first pressure level and a second port at a second pressure level. The valve element is movable with respect to the housing between a first position, a second position, and an intermediate position between the first and second positions. The first position permits substantially unrestricted fluid flow between the first and second ports. The second position substantially prevents fluid flow between the first and second ports. The seal is located at an interface between the housing and the valve element. The seal deforms in response to a differential between the first and second pressure levels such that at the intermediate position, there is restricted fluid flow between the first and second ports.

摘要： An inertial sensor unit for determining north, has a housing and a positioning gimbal rotatably mounted in this housing about a substantially vertical axis. A releasable, cooperating detent mechanism defines three fixed angular detent positions of the positioning gimbal about the substantially vertical axis relative to the housing. The positioning gimbal is successively rotated into the three detent positions. A fiber optical gyro is mounted on the positioning gimbal. The input axis forms an acute angle with a substantially horizontal axis orthogonal to the above mentioned substantially vertical axis. A signal processing system is provided, to which the signals generated by the fiber optical gyro in the three detent positions are applied. The signal processing system provides, therefrom, the angle between a reference direction and north.

摘要： An assembly for the transfer of operating movement around the corner of a window or door, particularly tilt/turn closures, involves an angled casing, guiding a flexible deflection member, which connects the operating rods of the closure. An intermediary connecting member between the flexible deflection member and an operating rod forms a slide bolt, preferably a tilt-lock locking-slide, which is stiffened by a longitudinal batten. The batten fits in a slot on one leg of the angled casing. The sliding bolt engages the flexible member by means of a cam-and-recess. The batten stabilizes the flexible member when it is under compression. The assembly and the sliding bolt are shaped to allow insertion in grooves in the profiles which form the closure frame. A clamping piece holds one of the legs in the frame. Elements of the assembly assist in dispersing transverse forces which can cause binding.

摘要： A system and method for controlling evaporative emissions of a volatile fuel. The system preferably has a fuel vapor collection canister, a purge valve, an isolation valve, a fuel tank, and a vent valve. The fuel vapor collection canister includes a supply port and a discharge port. The purge valve includes an inlet port and an outlet port. The inlet port of the purge valve is in fluid communication with the discharge port of the fuel vapor collection canister. The isolation valve includes a housing, a valve body, and a seal. The housing has a first port in fluid communication with the supply port of the fuel vapor collection canister, a second port, and a fuel vapor flow path that extends between the first and second ports. The valve body is movable with respect to the housing along an axis between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration permits substantially unrestricted fuel vapor flow between the first and second ports, and the second configuration substantially prevents fuel vapor flow between the first and second ports. The seal, which is located at an interface between the housing and the valve body, includes an annular lip that projects obliquely toward the axis in the first configuration. The fuel tank is in fluid communication with the second port of the isolation valve. Thus, the fuel tank can be isolated from the fuel vapor collection canister while purging the fuel vapor collection canister. The vent valve controls ambient fluid flow with respect to the fuel vapor collection canister

摘要： A method of operating a fuel tank isolation valve and a canister vent valve. The fuel tank isolation valve has a first port, a second port, an electric actuator, and a valve body. The first port is in fluid communication with a fuel vapor collection canister. The second port is in fluid communication with a fuel tank. The electric actuator moves the valve body to control fluid communication between the first and second ports. And the canister vent valve controls ambient fluid flow with respect to the fuel vapor collection canister. The method includes supplying a first electric signal to the electric actuator such that the valve body permits substantially unrestricted fuel vapor flow between the first and second ports, supplying a second electric signal to the electric actuator such that the valve body substantially prevents fuel vapor flow between the first and second ports, supplying a third electric signal to the electric actuator such that the valve body provides restricted fuel vapor flow between the first and second ports, and supplying a fourth electric signal to the canister vent valve to permit ambient fluid flow into the fuel vapor collection canister. The supplying the fourth electric signal is coincident with the supplying the second electric signal.

摘要： A nail driving tool is disclosed as including a magazine (9) which, in turn, includes a guide path (7) for guiding a plurality of nails (10.sub.1, 10.sub.2, 10.sub.3. . . ) which are preferably disposed in the form of a nail strip. The guide path (7) is open at an outlet opening (2) from or through which a first or leading nail (10.sub.1) is conveyed into a discharge channel (3). A driving mechanism, such as, for example, a pneumatic driver (11) is disposed within the discharge channel (3) for driving or discharging the leading nail (10.sub.1) from or through the discharge channel (3). A cantilevered leaf spring (8) has one end thereof fixedly mounted upon the magazine (9) while the opposite free end thereof engages the second nail (10.sub.2) disposed immediately upstream of the leading nail (10.sub.1) so as to retain all of the nails disposed upstream of the leading nail (10.sub.1) while the leading nail (10.sub.1) is disposed in its readied state for discharge from the discharge channel (3) by the driver (11). A magnet (4) is disposed within a blind bore (6) upon the opposite side of the discharge channel (3) with respect to the outlet opening (2) for retaining the leading nail (10.sub.1) within the discharge channel (3) at its readied disposition for discharge by the driver (11). A bottom or end wall (5) of the blind bore (6) serves as a protection device for protecting the magnet (4) from the nails as the latter are serially conveyed into the discharge channel (3).

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for measuring, particularly remotely, a first composition-dependent physical property, such as bubble rise velocity or dynamic viscosity, of a fluid comprising a container for holding the fluid at a certain level in order to form a surface on the fluid; a bubble delivery tube for introducing into the fluid at a first depth a first bubble having a first size; a vacuum pump for generating a carrier gas stream; a hood for capturing in the carrier gas stream the first bubble as it leaves the surface of the fluid; and detector in the path of travel of the carrier gas stream to detect the first bubble in order to determine the time of transit of the bubble from first depth to the surface of the fluid, so as to enable calculation of the average bubble rise velocity. In addition, a second bubble delivery tube for introducing a second bubble at a second depth can be added to allow calculation of the average bubble rise velocity independent of the position of the surface of the fluid. Addition of a temperature sensor and apparatus capable of monitoring a second composition-dependent physical property allow the determination of the composition of the fluid by reference to a ternary phase diagram.

摘要： The process makes it possible to determine for sound-absorbing structural elements made of a compact or foamed plastic with cup-shaped protuberances, the thickness and area size of the resonance surfaces that is required for an optimal sound aborption, as a function of the height of the protuberances and the endeavored resonance frequency.The use of this process also makes it possible to adapt the frequency response curve of the sound absorption coefficient of the structural element to the frequency response curve of the sound level of a noise source.

摘要： An alarm system for detecting the pattern of acoustic signals resulting from the breaking of glass utilizes transducers to convert the acoustic waves to electrical signals and then analyzes the signal strength, the frequency content and the pattern of the signal and no signal intervals to discriminate the breaking of glass from background or spurious noises. The system also determines the level of background noise and compensates therefor in determining whether an alarm signal is to be generated.

摘要： Techniques to improve query caching performance by efficiently selecting queries stored in a cache for evaluation and increasing the cache hit rate by allowing for inexact matches. A list of candidate queries stored in the cache that potentially could be used to answer a new query is first determined. This list may include all cached queries, cached queries containing exact matches for select list items, or cached queries containing exact and/or inexact matches. Each of at least one candidate query is then evaluated to determine whether or not there is a cache hit, which indicates that the candidate query could be used to answer the new query. The evaluation is performed using a set of rules that allows for inexact matches of aggregates, if any, in the new query. A query plan is generated for the new query based on a specific candidate query with a cache hit.
