Abstract: In order to enable a turning of a key of a lock cylinder onto a driven member (shaft 36) in the lock cylinder only when a proper key is inserted, yet to prohibit the turning in case of an overload, an overload lock is arranged therebetween. The driven member (shaft 36) should specifically actuate functions in the vehicle only if the correct key is used. A threshold rotation torque determines the change between the normal and the overload state. In order to improve the lock cylinder, it is furnished that a disengaging lever (40) is mounted in the cylinder housing (30) in a pivotable manner (42) and can be displaced between two pivot positions in a radial plane defined by the longitudinal axis (13) of the lock cylinder. A locking cam (41) belonging to the overload lock is arranged on the free end of the disengaging lever (40).

Abstract: A housing for a search-antenna polarization instrument is formed by two housing shells (2, 3) which are plugged together in an interlocking manner. A depression can be formed on the outside of the housing, as a positioning surface (12 to 16) for an alignment instrument.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines in which compression and combustion of an Air/Fuel mixture is carried out without a compression stroke as used in conventional internal combustion engines and expansion of the combusted mixture is performed to increase the expansion ratio resulting in an increase in the amount of work extracted. An externally compressed Air/Fuel Mixture is combusted in a variable volume combustion chamber and expanded into a conventional cylinder displacing a power piston to produce rotation of a crankshaft to drive a vehicle or other device. Separation of the variable volume combustion chamber from the conventional cylinder eliminates the conventional Otto Cycle compression stroke and provides a substantially larger expansion ratio than the compression ratio in a conventional engine.

The present invention variety ‘Golden Parsi’ exhibits an appropriate distinguishability, homogeneity, uniformity, and stability. The vigor of the tree is medium. The tree type is ramified. The habit of the apple tree is spreading. The pubescence on an upper half of a shoot is weak or similar to the pubescence in ‘Golden Delicious’. The thickness as measured by the diameter at the center is medium or similar to the thickness in ‘Jonagold’ for a one year old shoot. The number of lenticels is many for a one year old shoot. The predominant color of a flower is dark pink in a balloon stage. An overcolor appears early in season with a brown-red color. The overcolor disappears almost totally, and toward harvest increases and gets red. The overcolor remains red even after months of storage.
