Abstract: There is shown a method for correction of rapid periodic frequency characteristic errors in the reproduction of signals with periodic synchronizing signals from magnetic tape as well a circuit arrangement for carrying out the method. For repeated correction of the error within the period between two successive synchronizing signals, there are brought into account the stored error magnitudes of similarly positioned synchronizing signals on adjacent tracks, since the synchronizing signals of successive oblique tracks are offset by a fraction of a line.The circuit arrangement comprises a storage device with a number of storage places corresponding to the number of lines and/or to the number of color television signals of a television picture. In each storage place the average value of the frequency response error of previous lines of the same kind is stored and is superimposed on the actual error value.

Abstract: Two-component, permanent field magnets are located opposite the armature and protrude beyond the armature core at both axial ends. The flux yield of the field magnets is improved in comparison with conventional two-component magnets by positioning a section (14) of highly coercive magnetic material (2) at the trailing edge, with an axial length only of substantially the axial length (1.sub.A) of hte armature core, and placing protruding portions (16), protruding axially beyond (1.sub.M) the armature core (10) of a highly remanent magnetic material (1).

Abstract: A fuel injection pump, the volume adjustment member of which has a limiter of its play in the form of an adjustable device, which is movable in accordance with the displacement of a control piston in response to a contour provided in the control piston. The displacement of the first control piston occurs in accordance with the pressure of the air supplied to the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine, and this in turn is controlled with the aid of a pressure element. The pressure element actuates a control piston, with the aid of which a control pressure is created which actuates the first control piston. The control pressure, at the same time, acts on the pressure element by way of the second control piston in the form of return pressure. In a state of equilibrium the control pressure circuit is separated from the pressure source.

Abstract: Repetitive processes in internal combustion engines which are dependent upon the values of particular parameters are controlled either by a main computer or an auxiliary computer. Switching from the main to the auxiliary computer takes place if a sequence error detecting stage detects errors in the desired alternation between the main control signals furnished by the main computer and reference mark signals indicative of predetermined angular positions of a shaft of the engine. Specifically, the system is switched to operate under control of the auxiliary computer if such an alternation error occurs again within a predetermined number of cycles. The switching can also take place as a result of missing reference mark signals and as a result of the absence of monitoring signals indicative of correct operation of the main computer program.

Abstract: An amplitude envelope signal is derived from the output of an engine-knock sensor. Either the peak value of the envelope signal or its steepest rate of rise initiates the operation of a delay circuit providing a signal after a delay that is dependent upon the magnitude of the peak value or rate of rise. The envelope signal is also compared with a reference signal responsive to or representing or simulating background noise levels, and a comparison signal is produced when the envelope signal exceeds the reference signal. Engine-knock recognition is determined by the coincidence of the comparison signal and the delayed signal, and may be subjected also to a measurement window criterion which limits the appearance of an engine-knock signal to a particular arc of crankshaft revolution.

Abstract: A plug having hooks in its interior, mounted for swinging movements between a collapsed or inactive position in the interior and an extended or active position on the exterior. The hooks are normally held in collapsed position by a spring, and when a fish bites and pulls the line produces a reaction on the hooks and forces them outwardly to active position. The hooks are nearly hidden, or effectively hidden, when in a collapsed position, and the plug appears generally smooth, but is provided with flexible fins.

Abstract: An electronically controlled fuel metering system for an internal combustion engine is proposed which has mixture regulation which can be switched on and off depending upon the operational state of the engine. The system for mixture regulation includes an integrator with an alternating integration direction which can be switched on during steady and quasi-steady operational states. It is further proposed that the integrator time constant be selected in accordance with operating characteristics of the engine and time during the regulation period. For mixture metering, average values are used based on switching values, for instance of a .lambda. sensor in the exhaust pipe. The proposed system is also useable in connection with learning regulating systems, in which corrected values for .lambda.=1 or values for .lambda..noteq.1 computed on that basis and these values then serve as initial values for new regulating cycles.

Abstract: The vane-cell pump of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines has one or more adjustable throttle restrictions disposed on the intake side and/or on the compression side.By adjusting the particular throttle restriction, the slope of the characteristic curve of the course of the supply pump pressure can be influenced. In this way, it is possible to effect an increase in the slope over the entire rpm range, an increase only in the upper rpm range, or a lesser increase in slope only in the upper rpm range. The invention contemplates several embodiments which essentially cover location of the throttle restriction in the fuel injection pump.

Abstract: An arrangement for centering an end wall of a housing of a hydraulic gear machine, such as a pump or a motor, with respect to the open end of an internal chamber provided in a housing body forming the circumferential wall of the housing includes a plurality of pins which are received in a press-fitting manner in bores of the end wall and protrude beyond an end face of the end wall which faces and closes the open end of the chamber in the mounting position. The pins may have contact surfaces which are turned to the same diameter as the corresponding inner surface of the housing body which bounds the open end of the chamber, or they may exactly fit into the open end, or overlap slightly with the inner surface in which event some material displacement or deformation takes place during the assembly of the end wall with the housing body.

Abstract: A regulating device for the supply quantity of an injection pump for internal combustion engines having an electromagnet system as a component of a fuel quantity final control element is proposed. The fuel quantity final control element effects the controlling position of a control member, which fixes the supply onset or end by the injection pump through the closing or opening, respectively, of a relief conduit of the pump work chamber. The fuel quantity final control element includes a linear magnet, which is operationally connected with the control member. In order to transmit the stroke movement or displacement of the armature of the linear magnet onto the control member, a transmission member is provided which includes a rotatably supported adjusting shaft, a crank and an eccentric. The crank and the eccentric are disposed on opposite ends of the adjusting shaft and protrude in opposite directions from one another.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle is proposed having a valve needle which opens in the direction of fuel flow and a throttle point controlled in accordance with the stroke of the valve needle which is loaded by at least two closing springs, in order to obtain a distinct pressure jump with respect to the required opening pressure when the throttle point is rendered ineffective. As a result, the throttle point is fully effective during idling and at relatively low partial loads and is only rendered ineffective when the supply of fuel is relatively great.

Abstract: A dental operating unit is shown for use behind the head of a reclining patient's chair. There is a central, floor-mounted dentist's dynamic instrument service cabinet and an elongated counter top that is elevated above the service cabinet a short distance thereby leaving a gap between the cabinet and the counter top, and there is a pair of pivoted bracket arms located within the gap above the service cabinet and beneath the counter top. One pivot bracket arm has an anchor pivot that supports the bracket arms, while the free end of the second bracket arm is attached to a dental assistant's unit; whereby this dental assistant's unit is supported by a pair of swinging bracket arms which are capable of moving so that the dental assistant's unit may be reversible from either the left side or the right side of the patient's chair.

Abstract: A diaphragm having a plurality of apertures each associated with a title block on the front panel of an indicator unit is provided to cause the various title blocks to be illuminated evenly from a light source positioned behind the diaphragm. The size, number and shape of the apertures is so chosen that all of the title blocks are equally illuminated regardless of their size and regardless of their distance to the light source. Indirect light is used to prevent the formation of shadows and light spots on the title blocks.

Abstract: A method for igniting lean fuel-air mixtures and an apparatus for performing this method are described, wherein a preferably insertable ignition chamber is provided in the wall of an internal combustion engine, which ignition chamber communicates with the main combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine via a plurality of channels. At least one of the channels serves the purpose of delivering a portion of the fresh mixture entering from the main combustion chamber into the first ignition chamber in a direct stream into the rear portion thereof, remote from the combustion chamber, of the first ignition chamber.

Abstract: A package having a resealable device for oxygen-sensitive products is in which the package is gas-tight and convenient to use. The package has an envelope sealed in a gas-tight manner, an outer container surrounding the envelope, and a resealable device. The resealing device, comprising a rigid frame and a cap fitting into the frame, is secured with its frame close to the top wall within the envelope. The top wall is removable by means of a tear strip. At the level of the resealable device, the outer container has a tear strip for removing its top wall.

Abstract: An electrohydraulic pressure-regulating valve has a valve housing formed with a chamber and with an intake passage and an outlet passage opening at spaced-apart locations into the chamber, a valve member in the chamber between these locations and formed with a bore through which fluid can flow between the locations, this bore forming adjacent the outlet passage with a valve seat, a valve body in the chamber engageable with the valve seat to block flow through the bore, and means for urging the body against the seat. The valve has a laminar flow throttle in the bore between the seat and the intake passage. With this system substantially greater noise and vibration reduction is achieved in the range about 400 Herz than has been hitherto possible. Since the throttle is constituted as a laminar-flow throttle and is positioned immediately upstream of the valve body and valve seat, it only makes a nominal pressure drop, so that it does not interfere with operation of the valve.

Abstract: There is proposed an improved fuel injection pump which will prevent erosion at the pump housing caused by the fuel stream leaving the return flow openings at the end of injection, by providing an impact protection ring on the cylinder bushing. Guide faces on the ring inclined toward the center (M) thereof are molded into the impact protection ring in the vicinity of a cylindrical wall portion. The impact protection ring rests on an abutment shoulder disposed above the return flow openings, in the vicinity of the return flow openings encloses an annular chamber, and is pressed by a snap ring without play and with a defined prestressing force against the abutment shoulder. As a result of the guiding action of the guide faces on the impact protection ring, a rotational movement of the impact protection ring triggered by the obliquely exiting fuel stream is assured, in order to attain a long service life for the pump.

Abstract: An apparatus is proposed for regulating the idling rpm of internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition. The apparatus includes a comparison circuit for set-point and actual rpm, and the idling rpm set-point value can be influenced in accordance with the actual rpm, time, operating voltage, temperature, and other variables as needed. The actual regulation is effected by means of a PID-regulator, whose individual characteristics may be established for processing data as desired, preferably in accordance with the rpm deviation. A limitation regulator furthermore serves to establish the respective maximum and/or minimum limitation of the adjustment member in accordance with operating characteristics.

Abstract: There is proposed a control apparatus (FIG. 1), which in order to prevent the emission of smoke upon acceleration of the engine, controls a damping stroke (h.sub.D) preceding the adjusting stroke (h.sub.L) which is controlled in accordance with charge pressure. The apparatus has a pressure chamber defined by a movable wall and connected via charge air line to the air inlet tube of the engine, and the movable wall actuates an adjusting member which varies the adjusting range or the full-load position of a supply quantity adjusting member of a fuel injection pump. A throttle device embodied as a sequence valve is inserted into a line connecting portion connecting the charge air line with the pressure chamber, and the stroke/time characteristic of the throttle device determines the damping stroke (h.sub.D). The apparatus may be mounted either on the rpm governor or on the injection pump of Diesel motor vehicle engines.

Abstract: In internal combustion engines with external ignition the fuel metering is often interrupted during overrun operation for the purpose of saving fuel. It is proposed to inhibit this blocking of the fuel supply in those cases where the danger of slipperiness because of ice or snow exists. This danger is addressed by means of the method of measuring and evaluation of the intake air temperature and/or the temperature in the vicinity of the motor vehicle. Besides the possibility of realizing the invention from the block switch diagram, it is also pointed out that the electronic control device in accordance with the present invention can also be implemented relatively easily within the confines of a computerized control of the fuel metering.
