  • Patent number: 6649111
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a housing (12) for a throttle valve connection piece (10), which housing is to have particularly high dimensional stability. For this purpose, the housing (12), which has a throttle orifice (16) for a throttle valve (20), is produced from plastic (14) by the injection molding method, plastic (14) being partially injected around a metal cylinder (28) which, at least in the region of the throttle valve (20), forms the throttle orifice (16). In this case, before the injection molding method, an expanding mandrel (50) is expanded against the inner face (33) of the metal cylinder (28). During the injection molding method, the inner face (33) of the metal cylinder (28) is supported at least partially by the expanding mandrel (50). After the injection molding method, a reduction in the outer circumference (80) of the expanding mandrel (50) is carried out in order to remove the expanding mandrel (50) from the interior (70) of the metal cylinder (28).

  • Patent number: 6411484
    Abstract: The VLSI circuit has one or more integrated semiconductor chips disposed in a housing and connected via connecting lines to contact terminals that are accessible from outside the housing. A temperature sensor chip is in thermal contact with the semiconductor chip in the housing. Connecting lines connect the temperature sensor chip to additional contact terminals of the housing.

  • Patent number: 5801592
    Abstract: An oscillator circuit is provided for stabilizing the amplitude of a HF oscillation of an audio signal. In such an oscillator circuit, an audio signal having a frequency in the range of 20 Hz . . . 20 kHz is coupled into the oscillator circuit, is modulated with a high frequency and is emitted in the form of an RF audio signal having a frequency of more than 2 MHz. Such an oscillator circuit is used for instance in an infrared transmitting unit, wherein a low frequency audio signal is transformed into a higher frequency infrared signal. The higher frequency audio signals are transmitted via infrared channel to an appropriate receiving unit--for instance to infrared head phones--which comprises a receiving unit having an appropriate demodulator and preferably also a stereo-decoder in order to reproduce the low frequency audio signals.

  • Patent number: 4417820
    Abstract: Electronic clocks with analog time displays and a vibrating quartz crystal (1) as a time standard, as well as electronic frequency dividers (6, 7). The display elements are driven by an electronically controlled motor (SM), said motor comprising a power winding (87) and a control winding (68). The control and regulating circuit for the electronically controlled motor (SM) is so designed that only one rpm above the rated rpm is controllably adjustable and, when the frequency of the clock varies, correcting signals are supplied to the AC drive pulses in power winding (87) through a bistable flip-flop (50), said flip-flop being subjected to real pulses derived from frequency dividers (6,7) and pulses derived from motor (SM), a NOR element (58) connected to the output of flip-flop (50) and an additional frequency divider (59), a field effect transistor (88), and a resistor (89).

  • Patent number: 4388961
    Abstract: A strip-type door having a plurality of individual strips arranged in overlapped relationship one to another comprises a series of swingable supports on which the individual strips are vertically suspended when the latter take a vertical position. A mounting element connected to a lintel over the door opening has a mounting portion, a supporting bar and an arcuate wall defining an arcuate channel. Each of the supports is formed with a curved portion insertable into the channel in the mounting element to form with this wall a hinge about which the supports carrying the individual strips can swing relative to the mounting element between a plurality of positions. The curved end portion may be inserted into said channel in only one of these positions so that the inadvertent falling or removal of the supports out of the channel when the strips are in their working swingable positions is prevented.

  • Patent number: 4245332
    Abstract: An echo-sounding receiver circuit comprising first and second receiver channels and an AND gate enabled by simultaneous outputs from both receiver channels is disclosed. The first receiver channel includes an echo stacking circuit, an echo selection circuit, and a tracking window circuit for establishing a measuring range or window whose timing is determined in part by detection of the first primary target echo in a sounding period and whose duration is established by the tracking window circuit. The second receiver channel includes a tracking threshold circuit and a second echo selection circuit for detecting the first echo that exceeds an amplitude determined by the amplitude of the preceding primary target echo. Upon detection of a primary echo by the second channel during the window established by the first channel, the AND gate supplies an output signal to a recording instrument or other utilization device.

  • Patent number: 4013617
    Abstract: Hydrophilic polyolefin fibers containing inorganic pigments are obtained by means of flash evaporation of a superheated suspension, which is under at least autogenous pressure. The suspension comprises a dispersion of a hydrophobized inorganic pigment in an emulsion prepared from a solution of a polyolefin in an easily boiling solvent and an aqueous solution of a hydrophilizing agent. The suspension is passed through a nozzle into a low pressure zone to form pigmented fibers.
