摘要:
A gaseous fluid flow meter utilizing a Karman vortex street has a conduit having opposed flat walls and through which a gaseous fluid to be measured flows, a vortex generating member disposed perpendicularly to the direction of flow of the fluid to generate the Karman vortex street downstream thereof, a vortex detector disposed on the conduit and having a transmitter in one flat wall for transmitting a continuous ultrasonic wave across the Karman vortex street and a receiver in the other flat wall positioned opposite the ultrasonic wave transmitter in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the flow of the gaseous fluid through the conduit for receiving the continuous ultrasonic wave to detect the changes in phase of the ultrasonic wave indicating the number of vortices of the Karman vortex street generated in a unit time, and a sound absorbing material on only the portion of the inner surfaces of the flat walls of the conduit around the transmitter and around the receiver and extending sufficiently far along the walls from the transmitter and receiver for preventing the generation of standing waves in front of the walls due to the reflection of the ultrasonic wave.
摘要:
A fluid conduit with a rectangular cross-section is divided into two parallel conduits. A vortex generating rod is disposed perpendicularly to the flow direction in one of the conduits. An ultrasonic wave is directed perpendicularly across the conduit to detect the Karman vortex streets. A sound absorbing material is located along the portion of the conduit wall where the ultrasonic waves exist for preventing the formation of standing waves.

A vehicle-surroundings monitoring apparatus is free from mistakenly identifying a lane marker on a road surface or a guard rail as a vehicle traveling in the blind spot of a nearby lane. A distance detecting section detects the distance up to a vehicle which is traveling in the blind-spot of a nearby lane and which is captured by a plurality of windows as set on a display screen. A detecting range restricting section restricts a distance detecting range for each window to a predetermined range to thereby select as a nearby vehicle an object to which the distance is within the predetermined range.

A guard rail detecting device mounted on a motor vehicle has: two image sensors spaced vertically to sense a scene in front of the motor vehicle; a window setting device for setting a plurality of windows on the display screen at predetermined positions; a distance calculating device for calculating the distances from the vehicle to the parts of the guard rail which are held as images in the windows; and a device for calculating the curvature of the guard rail from the distances thus calculated.
摘要:
A vehicle following apparatus is able to continuously or successively measure, once a target vehicle to be followed is determined, the distance to the target vehicle in a stable and reliable manner even if the subject vehicle, on which the apparatus is mounted, is momentarily caused to move in the vertical or horizontal direction with respect to the target vehicle. A pair of first and second image sensors including a pair of optical systems are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other for optically sensing a plurality of objects including a preceding vehicle running ahead of the subject vehicle. A first window containing therein an image of the preceding vehicle as sensed by the image sensors is defined on a screen of a display. A second window is also defined on the screen adjacent the first window for catching the background of the preceding vehicle. The position of the first window is controlled to automatically follow the image of the preceding vehicle by measuring the distances to the objects in the respective first and second windows.

In a throttle valve controlling apparatus, there is provided a pair of first and second throttle valves. The first throttle valve is rotated by an electrically controlled actuator means, whereas the second throttle valve is rotated by an accelerator pedal. A first return spring is provided on the first throttle valve so as to return this valve to a first closed position when the electrically controlled actuator means is brought into malfunction, by which an engine speed is rapidly reduced. Under this malfunction condition, the second throttle valve can be independently controlled by the accelerator pedal.

An air-to-fuel ratio sensor of a construction, wherein an oxygen concentration cell having a chamber, at least one side of which is communicative with the atmosphere and an oxygen pump are disposed in mutual confrontation through a clearance chamber, or a spatial chamber having a tiny hole for dispersion, and gas to be measured is introduced into this clearance chamber or the spatial chamber to measure its air-to-fuel ratio from an output of the oxygen concentration cell or a control quantity of the oxygen pump, thereby making it possible to control the internal combustion engine over a wide range other than its theoretical air-to-fuel ratio.

An electronic fuel supply device for an automotive engine has a vortex flow sensor for sensing the flow of suction air into the engine, an electromagnetic valve which driven for a predetermined time in synchronism with the frequency output from the vortex flow sensor so as to permit the passage of fuel therethrough, and a control valve for limiting the flow of fuel through the electro-magnetic valve. The fuel is metered by the electro-magnetic valve and the control valve, and the fuel may thus be supplied in metered amounts to the fuel injection valves in the respective cylinders for injection into the engine.
