摘要:
A meander-shaped layer of nickel is deposited by evaporation on a ceramic wafer over an intermediate layer of tantalum serving to improve adhesion, and covered by a protective coating of silicon or epoxy resin is used as a temperature sensor in the intake pipe of a supercharged internal combustion engine. The low mass of the sensor element thus provided enables the resistance of the nickel path to follow rapidly, by its variation, the variations of temperature of the intake air. The sensor has a casing made up of two parts, the lower one of which has two connection prongs molded into it, the ends of which are flattened into tabs that are soldered to contact areas of the ceramic wafer. The upper casing portion has a cavity for the ceramic wafer, the lower part of which is filled with a potting compound to protect the solder joints. The width of the nickel paths that provide the temperature sensitive resistance is about 50 .mu.m and the thickness is from 0.2 to 1 .mu.m and the resistance may be typically 1000 ohms.

The interior of a differential pressure cell is exposed to the pressure in the intake pipe of an internal combustion engine. An absolute pressure cell is exposed to the ambient air pressure. The movable membrane of the differential pressure cell carries a plate on which are mounted two permanent magnets whose North poles face one another. A Hall generator fastened to the center of the movable membrane of the absolute pressure cell moves in the gap between the two magnets. The effective magnetic field applied to the Hall generator thus varies with the relative position of the Hall generator and the magnets. Adjustment of the spring constants of the two membranes allows any linear combination of differential and absolute pressure to be formed. Embodiments of different complexity and different degrees of linearity are illustrated.
摘要:
A breather valve for the gas tank of an internal combustion engine having an adsorption filter which is linked to the atmosphere by a breather line which is controlled by a shut-off valve. The tank breather valve is constructed so that pressure build up in the fuel tank, the lines, and the adsorption filter do not lead to damage of the valves. The magnetic circuit of the shut-off valve provides that above a predetermined pressure in the adsorption filter, the generated pressure is sufficient to open the shut-off valve, thereby facilitating pressure relief without any damage. The breather is particularly suitable for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles.

To increase service life and suppress interferences in high voltage electrodes for the ignition distributing system of internal combustion engines, the electrodes consist of molded and sintered mixture of 50-90% by weight iron powder and 50-10% by weight calcium silicide. Preferably, the electrode has tipstretched contact area of nonalloyed iron.
摘要:
An adsorption filter is linked to the atmosphere by a breather line to prevent condensates from settling in the shut-off valve, as they flow through the breather, so that this valve becomes unable to function. The breather has a vertical arrangement of the shut-off valve with a magnetic circuit arranged above the valve operative parts to ensure that any condensate which forms can flow off, without impairing the function of the shut-off valve (51, 51'). The breather is particularly suitable for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles.
摘要:
A breather valve for a gas tank of an internal combustion engine having an adsorption filter which is linked to the atmosphere by a breather line which is controlled by a shut-off valve. As air flows through the shut off valve, contaminations entrained in the shut off valve may deposit in the shut-off valve, so that it will no longer close tightly. For this reason, a particle filter has been arranged in front of the shut-off valve. The particle filter is of a large surface area which is integrated in the housing of the adsorption filter, thus contamination of the shut-off valve (51) and an excessive pressure drop of the air flowing through the particle filter (41) is avoided. The integrated construction facilitates a simple assembly of the adsorption filter (41) which is suitable for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles.
摘要:
The part of the distributor electrode in the breakdown region has a resistance of at least 400 ohms per millimeter. The total resistance of the electrode is in the range of between 0.5 and 1.0 kilo-ohms. The material is a mixture of a resistive ceramic material and a finely dispersed additive of metallic conductivity. Arrangements for creating surface discharge gaps thereby slowing down the sparking process and decreasing interference are also illustrated.
摘要:
The distributor has a distributor rotor with a radially extending rotor electrode attached nonrotably to a drive shaft, a distributor cap provided with a number of connectors on top each having a through-going opening in an interior wall of the cap, a center electrode insertable through the center connector in the cap and distributor electrodes insertable through peripherally disposed connectors so that they are positionable spaced from the rotor electrode during rotation of the distributor rotor past them, connecting cables each of which are connected to an electrode for conveying ignition energy to a spark plug and retaining members each releasably holding one of the distributor electrodes in place in the cap. The free end of one of the electrodes may be serrated or knurled while its other end together with the connected end of the connecting cable is enclosed by a lip member made of an elastic insulating material, in which one of the connectors is insertable and tightly held.
