Abstract: The invention concerns a firearm for receiving and firing a projectile. The firearm includes an integral casing having a barrel and a breech block receiving area to the rear of the barrel. A breech block is guided through the breech block receiving area by separated guide pins which project from the breech block into respective longitudinal track sections in the barrel. The guide pins are axially separated at opposite ends of the breech block and are circumferentially separated. The longitudinal track sections meet circumferential track sections. The guide pins in the circumferential track sections permit the breech block to be rotated. The breech block has a forward closed barrel position and a rearward open loading position. A breech mount around the breech block has a cam slot that extends longitudinally and into which a cam follower pin from the breech block projects. The breech mount is drawn forward by a spring and driven rearwardly by the gas pressure from detonation of a projectile leaving the barrel.

Abstract: An ignition and mixture-forming apparatus and method for an internal combustion engine, wherein as a function of position, speed, or acceleration of an engine throttle displacement device measured by a sensor, and when the adjustment exceeds a preset value, a valve is opened to feed compressed air from a compressed-air accumulator to one or more cylinders of the engine, in addition to the intake air and the feed capacity of the fuel pump being increased, so that the filling of the cylinders with fuel/air mixture increases and the engine power thus increases. Another sensor prevents feeding of compressed air when engine speed has exceeded a preset upper limit.

Abstract: An electrical safety device of an electrical control or regulating system of a gear shifting mechanism, includes a microcomputer, a pulse processor with an integrated watchdog timer and an integrated analog/digital converter, a retriggerable monoflop, a noninverting power amplifier, an inverting power amplifier and a Schmitt trigger in each of the response lines from a positive voltage output and a negative voltage output of the power amplifiers to the microcomputer. This enables an electromagnetic control element of a gear shifting mechanism to be supplied with a monitored positive voltage as well as with a monitored negative voltage.

Abstract: Analog measured values are processed by an A/D converter (50) and/or digital measured values are processed by a timer (60) in a microcomputer and fed through a P/S converter (62) to a logic means (42). Furthermore, RF pulses are fed by an oscillator means (44) to an additional input of the logic means (42). The logic means (42) transfers the RF pulses of the oscillator means (44) to a transmitter (4) for wireless transmission of measured values whenever the P/S converter (62) feeds pulses to another input of the logic, the length and spacing apart of such pulses depending on the measured values.

Abstract: An engine (4) of a drive system (2) is adjusted and controlled by a main controller (24). When the main controller (24) breaks down, the operation of the engine can still be continued as emergency operation with an emergency controller (26). However, the controlling functions of the latter are not as optimum as those of the main controller (24). This functional deficiency of the emergency controller (26) is compensated for at least partly by an emergency program of an electronic transmission control device (28). To compensate for the functional deficiency of the emergency controller (26), the transmission control device (28) appropriately controls or regulates a transmission unit (6, 8, 10) of the drive system (2), which comprises a hydrodynamic torque converter (8) with a bridging clutch (10) that can bridge the latter, and a gear-shift mechanism (6).

Abstract: A control system is provided for a traction vehicle having a coupling for towing a trailing vehicle load. The system includes a microprocessor which receives signals from a load sensor and, as a function of such signals, controls the slip duration of shifting clutches in an automatic gear shift mechanism as well as the gear speed ratio timing and shifting sequence. In addition, the control system limits the minimum turn radius of the traction vehicle when pulling a load and prevents excessive acceleration of the traction vehicle when not coupled to a load.

Abstract: A control circuit for motor vehicles serves to prevent an undesirable spinning of a driven vehicle wheel. The following components are provided for this purpose: a first angular speed transmitter to detect the speed of at least one non-driven vehicle wheel, a second angular speed transmitter to detect the speed of at least one driven vehicle wheel, a microcomputer connected via subcircuits to the two angular speed transmitters, and an actuating device to actuate at least one clutch or brake in the gear train between the vehicle engine and the driven vehicle wheel or wheels which is controlled by the microcomputer as a function of the differential between the speeds detected at any time by the two angular speed transmitters.

Abstract: A measuring and testing circuit for electric components including a microcomputer is provided. The circuit is for electronically controlled devices, especially gearings, which include electric components. The circuit includes at least one measuring branch and at least one testing branch for each electric component to be monitored. Each measuring branch is connected through a capacitor to a test contact for the component to be monitored. The testing branch also connects a rate signal output from the microcomputer with a test contact. Thus, with low circuit outlay, measurements of the components to be monitored can be detected and measured continually, or else only during measuring phase pauses when the components to be monitored and also the measuring branches are monitored for operational capability.

Abstract: Components of a motive unit to be checked are connected to a control system that includes a microcomputer through branch lines. One branch line serves to provide trigger signals and test the components in the normal operating state when the parts are rotating (i.e. in the dynamic state). The other branch serves to monitor the same components for malfunctions in the stopped condition when the parts are not moving (i.e. in the static state). The other branch contains a switching network, a current/voltage source controlled by the microcomputer, and an analog-to-digital converter. There is further provided a priority control circuit over which program interrupt requests or requests for changing to an emergency program are transmitted. In the event a malfunction causes an interrupt request to be generated, the interrupt request from the priority control circuit is transmitted immediately or with a delay depending upon the priority assigned to the particular event malfunction.

Abstract: An optoelectronic system is employed for determining the position of a movable vehicle control element such as a gas pedal. The system includes an optical carrier which is linked to and moves with the control element. The carrier includes an optical indicator range which provides a continuously variable gradient of optical permeability over the limits of carrier movement. A light source and an electro-optical detector are arranged to generate an electrical signal indicative of a measure of optical permeability of a zone of the range in registry with the detector. The light source and detector may be positioned on the same or opposite sides of the carrier. A further range of the same or different configuration may be formed on the carrier and associated with a second light source-detector. The signals generated by each detector are processed to generate a signal indicative of the position of the control element. Optionally, a signal generated by a single detector comprises the position indicative signal.
