  • Patent number: 4385609
    Abstract: A unit injector type of fuel injection system comprising a delivery cylinder with a delivery plunger slidable therein and defining a delivery pump chamber, an injection cylinder with an injection plunger slidable therein and defining an injection pump chamber, first and second stops on opposite ends of the injection cylinder for limiting the axial movement of the injection plunger, the injection plunger being displaced by the fuel into the injection pump chamber, through a stroke corresponding to the amount of the fed fuel, and nozzle for injecting the fuel delivered by the injection pump chamber, the injection plunger being moved under the pressure which occurs in the delivery pump chamber due to the displacement of the delivery plunger.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4378774
    Abstract: A unit injector type of fuel injection system comprising a delivery cylinder with a cylinder bore and an injection cylinder with a cylinder bore connected to and deviated from the delivery cylinder bore, a delivery plunger which is slidably fitted in the delivery cylinder bore and which defines a delivery pump chamber in the delivery cylinder, an injection plunger which is slidably fitted in the injection cylinder bore and which defines an injection pump chamber in the injection cylinder, the injection plunger being displaced by the fuel fed into the injection pump chamber, through a stroke corresponding to the amount of the fed fuel, fuel passage for feeding the fuel into the injection pump chamber, and nozzle for injecting the fuel delivered by the injection pump chamber, the injection plunger being moved under the pressure which occurs in the delivery pump chamber due to the displacement of the delivery plunger.

  • Patent number: 4291332
    Abstract: Disclosed is a phase-locked circuit which includes a voltage controlled oscillator to supply a sampling clock signal to an analog-digital converter for converting a composite color television signal into a digital signal, and a control signal generator circuit to apply a control signal to the voltage controlled oscillator in response to the composite color television signal. The control signal generator circuit includes a burst separator for extracting a digital signal component corresponding to a color burst signal from a digital output signal from the analog-digital converter, a phase signal generator producing a reference phase signal, and a digital phase error detector circuit receiving the output signals from the burst separator and phase signal generator and supplying the voltage controlled oscillator with an output signal corresponding to the phase difference between both these input signals.

  • Patent number: 4278865
    Abstract: A stud welding method uses an inert mixed gas as arc shield in performing stud welding on a base metal, such as, vehicle body, by utilizing the stud, e.g. a T-stud, as an electrode, the stud serving as the positive pole while the base metal serves as the negative pole to thereby prevent formation of oxide film on the base metal surface during the welding, the inert mixed gas comprising carbon dioxide gas and argon gas.
