Abstract: A fuel injector for gaseous fuel is provided. The fuel injector includes at least one valve having a valve seat and a plunger that engages the seat to prevent gaseous fuel flow and is displaced from the seat to permit gaseous fuel flow. Displacement of the plunger away from the seat to open the at least one valve is resisted by a first plunger control mechanism and then a second plunger control mechanism depending on the distance the plunger is lifted from the seat.

Abstract: A fuel injector for gaseous fuel is provided. The fuel injector includes a valve assembly with a first valve and a second valve. The first valve is actively controlled to permit and prohibit gaseous fuel flow through the first injector. The second valve is spaced from the first valve and passively controlled to open in response to the gaseous fuel flow though the first valve, and to close when the gaseous fuel flow is terminated by closing the first valve.

Abstract: A tensegrity robot includes multiple tensile members connected to multiple structural members to form a spatially defined structure. Each structural member is connected to one or more other structural members by tensile members therebetween. The robot further includes multiple actuators operatively connected to the tensile members and the structural members, and multiple controllers configured to communicate with each of the actuators. The controllers direct control of at least one of tension or length of the tensile members by the actuators to cause a change in at least one of the size, shape or center of gravity of the spatially defined structure to effect robotic actions. At least two tensile members are connected to an actuator such that at least one of tension or length in both of the tensile members are changed in coordination by the actuator.

The low-band radiator comprises a dipole and an extended dipole configured in a crossed arrangement, a capacitively coupled feed connecting the extended dipole to an antenna feed, and a pair of auxiliary radiating elements. The dipole comprises two dipole arms, each of approximately ?/4, for connection to the antenna feed. The extended dipole has anti-resonant dipole arms of approximately ?/2. The auxiliary radiating elements are configured in parallel at opposite ends of the extended dipole. The radiator is adapted for the frequency range of 698-960 MHz and provides a horizontal beamwidth of approximately 65 degrees. The dual-band base-station antenna comprises high-band radiators configured in at least one array and low-band radiators interspersed amongst the high-band radiators at regular intervals.

Abstract: A lighted knife device has a knife blade, handle and a lighting device in a side of the handle and also there is a second lighting device arranged in mirror fashion. The first and second plurality of lighting devices are arranged at differing angles to light up an area underneath a blade edge. Alternatively, the first and second plurality of lighting devices are arranged at a same angle but also at a different angle such that the surface underneath a blade edge is lit up in a perpendicular fashion from sides of the blade. An energy storage device situated inside of a cavity within the handle contacting a tang blade portion. There is also a toggle switch contacting the energy device and the lighting devices of the banks of lighting devices through an internal switch of the toggle switch. The blade tang connected to each of the lighting devices.

Abstract: A method of treating a kaolin particulate material to improve its properties by removal of impurities which includes the steps of: (a) producing a dispersed aqueous suspension of a kaolin particulate material containing at least 0.1% by weight, based on the dry weight of the kaolin particulate material, of separable impurity by adding a dispersing agent to the kaolin particulate material to deflocculate solid particles of the material in the suspension; (b) conditioning the suspension prior to adding selective flocculation polymer thereto by allowing the suspension to age for a period of at least 30 minutes and optionally by adding one or more conditioning chemicals thereto; (c) adjusting the pH of the suspension to be at least about 9.5; (d) adding to the suspension at a pH of at least about 9.

Abstract: A portable hydraulic press with two opposing plates connected by bolts can be clamped on a conveyor chain that has interference-fit connecting pins between pairs of rectangular plates forming the chain links to assemble or disassemble the chain. Once the press is clamped in place, a hydraulic cylinder of the press is then actuated to force the connecting pin in or out of the chain. If the pin is being pushed out, it passes through a hole in a back plate of the press in order to disassemble or break the chain.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to estimate properties of an integrated circuit device utilizes reduced resources. The representation of an integrated circuit is sampled using the statistical techniques of survey sampling. An average value of a property is determined from these samples and used to determine the property of the integrated circuit as a whole. Thus a property of an integrated circuit is determined from an analysis of a fraction of the integrated circuit representation. Error bounds associated with the property can be optionally determined from the estimated variance of the sampled property measurements. The method is realized using a general purpose computer. The invention has application to the estimation of integrated circuit manufacturability, yield and other properties.

Abstract: An improvement is disclosed applicable to the method for producing a calcined kaolin by the steps of wet beneficiating a crude kaolin to form a slurry of the beneficiated kaolin; dewatering the slurry to form a substantially dry calciner feed; and calcining the feed at a temperature of at least 1450.degree. F. by passing a stream of hot gases through a calciner in which the kaolin feed is resident, whereby an exhaust stream of hot gases is generated which entrains quantities of partially calcined and hydrous kaolin pigment fines. The improvement, enabling useful application of the kaolin pigment fines, comprises recovering the kaolin pigment fines from the exhaust stream for use in papermaking. The fines can be recovered at a wet scrubber, and after being partially dewatered, shipped directly as a product slurry to the paper maker.
