A fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine has a fuel pressurization chamber and a fuel chamber which are coupled to each other by a solenoid valve. The timing of fuel injection and the amount of fuel to be injected are controlled by selectively opening and closing the solenoid valve. Valve opening delay times of the solenoid valve are measured, and averaged when the rotational spee...

An electronic locking system including a lock cylinder having an electronically actuable release assembly which is selectively enabled to disengage a pin from a cylinder plug, to permit the rotation of the plug by an inserted key. The lock cylinder and key each contain non-volatile, electronically alterable memory devices, such as EEPROM integrated circuits, which house keying system codes. The ke...

Disclosed herein are gypsum-free cement compositions comprising portland cement, limestone and an amine salt of formic or acetic acid. The compositions exhibit compressive strength comparable to ordinary portland cement compositions containing gypsum and the setting properties of the compositions can be regulated.

A method of manufacturing a frozen edible composition combining a frozen core surrounded by and in contact with a frozen coating, wherein the composition can be exposed to microwave energy, in its entirety, so that the frozen coating becomes heated to a softened state while the core remains substantially frozen.

A microprocessor emulation apparatus for debugging a microprocessor of an electronic system without utilizing an interrupt signal and a stop signal to temporarily stop an operation of the system. The apparatus makes the system execute a program in the apparatus for reading and modifying contents stored in the system without using of control signals from the system by exchanging buses of the system...

A system for detecting and resolving logical usage conflicts is described for use in a scientific data processing system. A plurality of pipelined overlapping macro instructions request access to the system memory. Often the information required by a subsequent instruction is not available until an earlier overlapped instruction has been completed thereby creating a conflict. This conflict is sens...

A bit slice processor system includes a bit slice ALU that is cascadable to provide multiple length words. Each of the ALUs provides both command outputs and status outputs. The status outputs are interfaced with each of the package as are the command outputs. Each of the ALUs in the cascaded ALU are controlled by an instruction word to perform a predetermined processing function. Internal status ...

Corn kernels packaged within an elongate bag (10) can be popped with microwaves and served in the bag. During popping, part of the bag's longitudinally-extending back seal opens and permits vapors to vent from the bag. After the kernels are popped, the back seal (28) is fully opened to transform the bag (10) into a serving bowl having an opening defined by the edges of bag material previously form...

The invention relates to a pipe connection having two pipes which are to be connected coaxially and having a synthetic-resin connecting body which, in the installed state, surrounds an end section, which if necessary is roughened, of the outer circumferential surface of at least one of the pipes such that it rests closely thereon, at least one end section of the outer circumferential surface of on...

Injection pen (1) suitable for being carried in the clothes of a user-patient, comprising a housing (26) incorporating an injection fluid reservoir (3) or cartridge having a variable content, a pump rod (4) that can be biassed against said reservoir (3) or cartridge for altering the content thereof and a drive mechanism for moving said pump rod (4), wherein said drive mechanism comprises an electr...

A method and apparatus for error detection is disclosed. A data word and its check bits are read from memory, and new check bits are generated form the data word read. A logical operation is performed between the new check bits and the check bits read from memory to generate a syndrome. The syndrome is decoded to detect the presence or absence of an uncorrectable error. If an uncorrectable error i...

Methods are disclosed for (a) enhancing the formation of a natural biological dressing composed primarily of serum proteins; (b) enhancing the reestablishment of free, full-thickness skin grafts in warm-blooded animals; (c) enhancing the establishment of split-thickness skin grafts; and (d) increasing the rate of wound closure in warm-blooded animals. The methods utilize GHL-Cu or a derivative the...

A motor vehicle passenger compartment has an air inlet at the base of the windshield and a valve controlling an air outlet so as to maintain the pressure in the compartment above ambient pressure.

A mean distribution of viewer looking time for a group of individuals each viewing a dynamic audio and visual video program measures the mean attention span corresponding to each distinct audio and video component of the overall program. The video program is recorded in measured sequential scenes, with each scene corresponding to a selected audio or visual signal and being comprised of distinct vi...

The invention provides a composite diamond abrasive compact comprising a thermally stable diamond compact directly bonded to a cemented carbide substrate. The thermally stable diamond compact comprises bonded diamond forming a coherent, skeletal mass and a second phase which preferably consists of silicon and/or silicon carbide. A method of producing the composite diamond abrasive compact under co...

The present invention relates to anhydrous crystals of maltitol and the whole crystalline hydrogenated starch hydrolysate mixture solid containing the crystals, and processes for the production and use thereof.

The present invention relates to new anthracyclines corresponding to the general formula I below: (1) in which R' and R'', which may be identical or different, denote a hydrogen atom (and in this case R' is different from R'') or the group -(CH2)n-R1-(CH2)m-R2 where n is between 1 and 6, m is between 0 and 4 (with the proviso, of course, that if m=0, R2 is nonexistent) R1 denotes one ...
