  • Engine vibration imager
    Patent number: 10830668
    Abstract: An engine vibration imager and method of testing engine stability. An accelerometer, mounted to an engine block, is configured to detect engine vibration and generate a signal indicative of detected vibration. An amplifier, electrically coupled to the accelerometer, is configured to amplify the signal indicative of detected vibration. A light indicator, electrically coupled to the amplifier, is configured to emit light upon receiving the amplified signal. The engine vibration imager also includes an indicator disk including timing marks on a first surface of the indicator disk. The indicator disk is rotatable by the crankshaft and light emitted from the light indicator is visible at the first surface of the indicator disk and indicates on the indicator disk a point in the combustion cycle in which engine vibration is detected.

  • Pulsation damping for damping pulsations upstream of a gas flow meter
    Patent number: 10190717
    Abstract: A method of damping pulsations produced by an engine or other driver, so that gas flow can more accurately be measured by a gas flow meter. A damping device is placed between the driver and the flow meter, and has an enclosed volume, an input tube, and an output tube. Particular dimensions of the damping device, namely the volume of the chamber and the diameter and length of the input tube, are calculated to result in a desired damping efficiency.

  • System and method for measuring rotation speed and direction of tappets (lifters) of an engine valve train
    Patent number: 9316509
    Abstract: A method of measuring direction of rotation of a tappet of an engine valve train. Two opposing notches are machined or otherwise formed in the outer surface of the tappet. Two sensors proximate the outer surface of the tappet are operable to detect the change in distance resulting from the notches as the tappet rotates. There is a predetermined difference angle of separation between the arc distance between the notches and the arc distance between the sensors. Each sensor outputs a square wave output having pulses whose width represents detection of the notches by the sensor. The location of the pulses of the two square wave outputs is compared to determine direction of rotation of the tappet.

  • Wiringless logical operation circuits
    Patent number: 5742071
    Abstract: A logical operation circuit in which wiring as generally performed between transistors is made unnecessary to improve reliability, stability and integration degree of a logical circuit using a tunnel phenomenon, for example, a single-electron tunnel phenomenon, or a flight phenomenon of a particle group. Conducting materials are arranged in a two-dimensional plane or three-dimensional space in the logical circuit. When two conducting materials are arranged to be nearest each other, the two conducting materials are connected, for example, by a single-electron tunnel phenomenon. When two conducting materials are arranged to be not nearest, there is no connection between the conducting materials by the tunnel phenomenon. Propagation of electrons is controlled by changing the arrangement.

  • Instrument for selectivity separating strands of hair
    Patent number: 5018542
    Abstract: A comb for selectively separating strands of hair for individual treatment includes an elongated base and a plurality of teeth positioned at spaced-apart locations along the length of the base. Each tooth includes a shaft which extends outwardly from the base to a free end. The teeth include a hair-engaging portion at the free end of a shaft which is substantially linearly straight and smooth from the base to the hair-engaging portion. The hair-engaging portion is positioned to engage only selected strands of hair while allowing non-selected strands to fall freely from between the teeth as the comb is lifted, moving the teeth in a direction toward the base through the lock of hair. Each hair-engaging portion includes a tine member which extends outwardly from the shaft to define a substantially open hook throat. Each tine member is on a common side of each tooth so that the selected strands may be released from each hook throat by a single longitudinal movement of the base.
