Abstract: Vehicle arresting beds, for installation at the ends of aircraft runways, are effective to safely decelerate aircraft entering the bed. The arresting bed is assembled of a large number of blocks of cellular concrete having predetermined compressive gradient strength, so that aircraft landing gear is subjected to drag forces effective to slow a variety of types of aircraft, while providing deceleration within a safe range of values. An arresting bed typically includes an entry region of a depth increasing from 9 to 24 inches formed of blocks having a first compressive gradient strength. A second region, which may be tapered into the first region and increase in depth to 30 inches, is formed of blocks having a greater compressive gradient strength. An aircraft thus experiences increasing drag forces while it travels through the bed, to provide an arresting capability suitable for a variety of aircraft.

Abstract: In DRAM, a bit line pair are connected to the respective gates of an N channel MOS transistor pair of a read gate, and a write data line pair are connected to the respective gates of an N channel MOS transistor pair of a write gate. Therefore, since neither of the read data line pair and the write data line pair is directly connected to the bit line pair, no data signal on the bit line pair is destroyed by noise occurring on the read data line pair and the write data line pair.

Abstract: The output characteristics of the sensing device or the control quantity of the sensing element can be adjusted by extracting an adjusting terminal in addition to a power source terminal, a ground terminal, an output terminal and the like outside a housing containing and protecting an electronic circuit. Further, by arranging the adjusting terminal inside a connector housing containing terminals such as the power source terminal, the ground terminal, the output terminal and the like, it is possible to prevent contact of foreign objects to the adjusting terminal and to water-proof the terminals for preventing corrosion since an associated connector is attached to the connector when the sensing device is actually used.

Abstract: Identically shaped spots can be formed sequentially and stably by a spotting pin comprising a bar-like plunger 20. Four projections each formed in the shape of a top portion of a quadrangular pyramid are formed on the head of the plunger 20. The apexes 21 of the quadrangular pyramids constituting the projections are located inside a virtual plane extending from the peripheral wall of the plunger.

Abstract: A method of depositing metal onto an edge of a metallic substrate, preferably a metallic, thin-edge substrate, involves: (1) directing a high intensity light beam onto the substrate, thereby melting a portion of the substrate and forming a weld pool; (2) while directing the light beam onto the weld pool, introducing a filler wire into the weld pool, wherein exposure to the light beam and residual heat in the weld pool causes the filler wire to melt into the weld pool, the light beam providing sufficient energy to fuse the molten filler wire to the substrate; (3) feeding the filler wire into the weld pool while effecting relative motion between the filler wire and the light source relative to the substrate such that a continuous weld bead is formed from the weld pool; and (4) during steps (1)-(3), exposing the weld pool and filler wire disposed therein to a shielding gas so as to protect the weld pool and filler wire from oxidation.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanisms suited for vehicle seats, and particularly mechanisms that include a memory feature. The inventive adjustment system is of the type that provides a method of selecting a preferred seat position, releasing the adjustment mechanism for free movement of the seat, and automatically arresting the adjustment mechanism, securing the seat at the selected position. In the case of some prior art seat adjustment mechanisms, using the recline adjustment control to dump the seat does not allow the passenger to automatically return the seat back to the selected position. Other prior art seat adjustment mechanism separate the recline adjustment and the dump controls but rely upon relatively bulky stamped metal components to capture and latch the seat after dumping.

Abstract: Multi-cavity injection molding apparatus includes a plurality of injection nozzles, each of which has a two-piece tip assembly in the nature of a replaceable tip and a retainer that detachably secures the tip to the nozzle body. The retainers are constructed from material having a lower coefficient of thermal conductivity than the tips so that the retainers also serve to insulate the tips from the relatively cold, surrounding heat sink presented by the mold. Although each retainer prevents its tip from being unintentionally axially released from the nozzle body, the retainer engages the tip at only two axially spaced locations along its length so as to present an insulating air gap in surrounding relationship to much of the tip. The otherwise exposed end of the air gap is sealed off when the nozzle is hot by virtue of a sealing collar on the retainer that progressively tightens against the cooperating, beveled surface of the tip as the tip heats up.
