Patent number: 6338445Abstract: A fuel injector comprising a nozzle body having a first bore defining first and second seatings, an outer valve needle being slidable within the first bore and engageable with the first seating to control fuel flow from a first outlet opening. The outer valve needle is provided with a second bore within which an inner valve needle is slidable, the inner valve needle being engageable with the second seating to control fuel delivery through a second outlet opening. The outer valve needle includes a deformable region which is shaped such that, in use, when the outer valve needle is urged against the first seating, the outer valve needle deforms. The deformable region may be shaped such that, in use, when the outer valve needle is urged against the first seating, the outer valve needle deforms to close the first outlet opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2000Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm David Dick Lambert, Peter Simon

Patent number: 5722269Abstract: A locking device is used for doors of cabinets or cupboards and, more parularly, for doors of modular cupboard systems. In order to create an operationally reliable, inexpensive locking device which is suitable for narrow counterstops and which permits an installation independently of the fixing side, as well as an inexpensive conversion when the fixing side is changed, the locking device is given a bipartite construction with a handle positioned in the vicinity of a door plate and a bolt mechanism operable by a tumbler. The device has a first door plate area receiving the handle and a second door plate area. A locking movement, initiated by the handle, is subject to a deflection, preferably of approximately 90.degree., in the direction of a counterstop and a closed or open position of at least one locking element in a cabinet or cupboard-side receptacle is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1995Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignees: Knurr-Mechanik fur die Elektronik Aktiengesellschaft, DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH & Co., KGInventors: Peter Simon, Hans Flamme, Robert Streifeneder, Dieter Ramsauer

Patent number: 5352985Abstract: An apparatus for determining the relative positions of power outlets within a multi-outlet electrical circuit and, specifically, for determining the first occurring power outlet in a multiple-earth-neutral power system in which earth and neutral wires are interconnected at a distribution point. The apparatus incorporates circuitry for generating a current pulse and probe means for injecting the pulse into a wiring loop which extends between neutral and earth contact terminals of each of the power outlets. The probes are also employed for detecting the voltage drop which occurs along the wiring loop as a consequence of the current flow through the loop, and circuitry is provided for generating a signal which is representative of the voltage drop along the wiring loop.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1992Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: H.P.M.
