  • Patent number: 8113796
    Abstract: A fuel delivery module comprising a substantially fuel tight housing having a fuel inlet and at least one fuel outlet, a fuel pump located in a first chamber defined within the housing, said fuel pump comprising an electric motor and a positive displacement pump assembly drivingly connected to the motor for pumping fuel from the fuel inlet to said fuel outlet, at least a substantial part of said housing being formed from a plastic material. Electrical conductors are connectable to the electric motor within a high pressure region of the first chamber, said electrical conductors being arranged to extend within a wall region of the housing from a high pressure region of the first chamber to a low pressure region before exiting the housing from said low pressure region.

  • Patent number: 5469430
    Abstract: In a method for simultaneous transmission of two heterochronous binary signals in the form of a single binary signal on a common physical medium, the second binary signal is timed by a bit clock whose period is greater than the minimal duration allowed for a bit of the first signal. For constituting the single binary signal transmitted there is provision for inserting between transitions of the first binary input signal a brief binary level inverting pulse for each bit of the second input signal which corresponds to the same one of the two possible binary levels of the second signal. Each temporary polarity inversion pulse due to the second signal is placed outside a guard area on either side of transitions of the first signal.

  • Patent number: 4805190
    Abstract: A detector logic circuit restores the value 0 or .+-.1 of a ternary symbol converted into a signal on five levels 0, .+-.1 and .+-.2 as a result of class 1, type n=2 partial response transmission. Employing only binary logic circuits, it is connected to the output of a comparator which has four thresholds and which delivers a value representing the receive level by four binary signals. Two of these signals indicate positive overshooting of extreme and intermediate positive thresholds. The other two indicate negative overshooting of negative extreme and intermediate thresholds. The circuit delivers the values of the ternary symbols detected in the form of two binary components which are available at the output and stored for the duration of a symbol by two flip-flops. Both are generated by combinational logic devices of similar design utilizing OR and NOR gates.

  • Patent number: 4775984
    Abstract: A synchronous digital cable transmission system comprises a transmitting terminal, intermediate regenerative repeaters and a receiving terminal. The transmitting terminal includes a data scrambler and a 6B/4T type binary-ternary line coder. The receiving terminal and the intermediate regenerated repeaters include a class 1 type n=2 partial response coding type receive signal shaping and filtering unit and a logic device for decrypting binary symbol superpositions resulting from the signal shaping and filtering processes. The receiving terminal also includes a 6B/4T binary-ternary decoder and a descrambler respectively compatible with the coder and the scrambler in the transmitting terminal.
