Abstract: A disc drive data storage system according to the present invention comprises a housing, a central axis, a stationary member which is fixed with respect to the housing and coaxial with the central axis, and a rotatable member which is rotatable about the central axis with respect to the stationary member. At least one data storage disc is attached to and is coaxial with the rotatable member. Upper and lower ball bearing assemblies interconnect the stationary member and the rotatable member. At least one rotor magnet is attached to the rotatable member. A back-iron is supported by the stationary member. A stator winding is attached to the back-iron and has a slotless structure.

Abstract: A four-stroke internal combustion engine with a gabled combustion chamber d at least two intake valves and at least two intake conduits per cylinder, of which a first intake conduit is embodied as unthrottled and a second intake conduit has a throttle device. To attain a stable radial mixture layering, it is provided that the fuel injection valve is disposed in the second intake conduit, and the throttle device in the closed state produces a defined minimum flow rate of between about 5% and about 20%, preferably about 10%, of the maximum flow rate, and that viewed in the direction of the crankshaft axis the center line of the first intake conduit in the intake valve region has a greater radius of curvature than does the center line of the second intake conduit.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection having a piston disposed in a cylinder and a cylinder head which together define a combustion chamber, wherein a fuel injector is mounted in the cylinder head so as to inject fuel into the combustion chamber in a conical pattern whereby the fuel is mixed with combustion air to form a combustible mixture, the cylinder head has a shape around the conical fuel pattern which aids in providing combustible fuel/air mixture at least in an area adjacent the conical fuel pattern where a spark plug with electrodes is mounted such that its electrodes are disposed outside the conical fuel pattern.

Abstract: A disc drive spindle motor for rotating at least one disc in a data storage device includes a base, a shaft, a rotor and a stator. A bearing interconnects the rotor with the shaft and allows the rotor to rotate about the shaft. An overmold encapsulates at least a portion of the stator and provides the stator with a smooth external surface. The overmold mechanically isolates the stator from the base and damps sympathetic vibrations in the stator structure to reduce the generation of acoustic noise in the storage device.

Abstract: A spindle motor in a disc drive has a rotor assembly rotatably mounted to a base. A stator is mounted to the base and a magnet is mounted to the rotor assembly. The magnet or the stator is allowed to move in an axial direction relative to the other under the influence of magnetic interaction between the magnet and the stator. The magnet and stator are then rigidly fixed relative to one another in the axial direction.

Abstract: A device for introducing fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, includes a unit for fuel delivery and an injection valve for withdrawing compressed gas from the cylinder and injecting the gas together with the delivered fuel into the cylinder, and a mixing space in the front part of the valve for the purpose of gas storage, the injection valve being provided with a valve for control of the gas exchange between the combustion chamber and the mixing space in the front part of the valve. To obtain reproducible operating conditions and an optimum closing time (E.sub.0) for the injection valve, the mixing space is connected to one or more sensor elements for measuring the pressure and/or temperature of the mixing space, and that the valve is closed in dependence on the physical quantity measured by the at least one sensor element.

Abstract: A short, multi-color, web-fed rotary printing press for job printing utilizes a vertical stack of bridge printing units which are supported by horizontally shiftable frame sections. The rubber blanket cylinder of each printing unit is at least twice as large as its associated printing cylinder but is always a whole number multiple in size. The printing cylinder in each printing unit rests on the upper half of its associated rubber blanket cylinder.

Abstract: In an inlet system for a two-cycle internal combustion engine which includes a cylinder with a piston reciprocating therein between a top dead center position and a bottom dead center position and in which at least two rows of scavenging air flow passages are arranged in separate flow planes around the cylinder adjacent the bottom dead center position of the piston which are closed by the piston when it is remote from the bottom dead center position, each of the separate flow planes includes independent air flow control components for independently controlling the admission of scavenging air to the scavenging air passages in the different flow planes.

Abstract: In a two-stroke internal combustion engine with an engine block including a crankcase and a cylinder housing receiving pistons which are connected to a crankshaft by crosshead rods with crossheads guided for linear movement with the piston and a connecting rod extending between the crosshead and the crankshaft, wherein the cylinders have walls with inlet and outlet slits disposed above the bottom dead-center position of the piston and providing for communication between the cylinder and inlet and outlet channel structures formed in the cylinder housing around the pistons, the engine block consists of a cylinder housing and a crankcase joined along a dividing plane extending across the engine block below the lowest piston ring when the piston is in its bottom position and the cylinder housing includes channel structures which are open toward the dividing plane and have walls extending inwardly and have inner surfaces in engagement with the piston for guiding said piston and to form, with the piston skirt, the

Abstract: In a port-controlled two-stroke internal combustion engine with an engine block comprising a crankcase and a cylinder block including pistons connected to a crankshaft by crosshead rods with crossheads guided for linear movement with the pistons, and connecting rods extending between the crossheads and the crankshaft a partition structure is arranged between the crankcase and the cylinder block and includes hollow cylindrical sleeves which project axially into the cylinders to a point closely adjacent the undersides of the piston tops when the pistons are in their bottom dead center positions and the sleeves are spaced from the cylinder walls to form between the sleeves and the cylinder walls annular spaces for receiving the depending skirts of the pistons.
