Abstract: A system for distance-dependent control of the driving speed of a motor vehicle including the detection of a traffic lane change or intention to change traffic lane and a signal for estimating the mean speed of vehicles in a target lane. When a turn signal or intention to turn is detected, the control system defines the vehicle speed and/or distance to a vehicle driving ahead in the same lane and sets this defined vehicle speed to be equal to the estimated mean speed of vehicles in an adjacent lane.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a high power magnifying projector using a liquid crystal light valve.

Abstract: A reflecting illumination projecting device includes a light source which emits illuminating light and a mirror which reflects the illuminating light emitted from the light source. A transmission type image forming portion is provided between the light source and the mirror to form a pattern to be projected, and a projecting lens is provided between the light source and the image forming portion. An optical path separating element is disposed in the vicinity of an exit pupil of the projecting lens. The optical path separating element includes a first portion for introducing substantially all of the illuminating light to the projecting lens and a second portion for introducing light reflected by the mirror onto the image projection plane.

Abstract: A temperature compensated oscillator and a temperature detector have a temperature sensor having a single case in which a pair of AT cut crystal resonator having substantially the same natural oscillation frequency and different cut angles from each other are accommodated. The crystal resonators each constitutes the resonance circuit of respective one of two oscillation circuits. A difference in frequency between the output frequencies of the oscillation circuits is representative of a detected temperature.

Abstract: A tubular connector, such as used with a liquid sight monitor, having a plurality of internal deformable ridges for bearing against the external surface of the tube of the monitor. Hence, it accommodates to a range of sizes and irregular tube shapes. The connector is made of a material that in a thick dimension is not deformable, but in a small dimension is deformable, such is Teflon FEP. The body is thick enough to be rigid, whereas the ridges are complaint, more so in a direction toward the mounting end of the connector or end of the tube. Pressure leakage form the liquid system to which the sight monitor is attached increases the pressure seal of the ridges with respect to the surface of the tube. Concentric tube sight monitors are connected to their systems using a connector having, in addition to the set of ridges for accommodating to the internal tube in the manner just described, a second set of ridges for conforming to an external tube.

Abstract: A temperature measuring apparatus is provided for determining the temperature of a target material to be measured as compared with the temperature of a spaced reference source which has a temperature control for controlling the temperature of the reference source. A differential radiation detector having a first detector exposed to the target material and a second detector which is shielded from the target material and exposed to the reference source provides a differential output or error signal which is used to control the temperature of the reference source. When the reference source temperature is the same as the target, the temperature of the reference source is read out which is the temperature of the target material regardless of the emissivity. The differential radiation detector is positioned in spaced relation to the target material and is focused onto the target and the reference material and the error signal generated is used for controlling the temperature of the reference source.

Abstract: A carburetor for an Otto cycle engine comprising a mixing compartment through which flows a suction air current regulated by means of a regulating valve. In the mixing compartment there is prepared from the dosed fuel delivered by nozzle means a fuel-air mixture for the Otto cycle engine. Within the mixing compartment there is arranged an impeller driven by the suction air current, this impeller containing a fuel compartment into which opens a fuel delivery channel. The nozzle means embody nozzle channels which lead away from the fuel compartment, these nozzle channels rotating with the impeller and fuel is sprayed from spray nozzles of the nozzle channels during rotation of the impeller owing to an excess pressure brought about by the centrifugal forces, the fuel being sprayed out of the fuel compartment into the mixing compartment.
