An ignition system of an internal combustion engine comprising a metallic plate inserted between the cylinder block and the cylinder head. The metallic plate has an opening, upon the inner peripheral wall of which is mounted a plurality of T-shaped electrodes. Each of the T-shaped electrodes comprises an electrode piece and a conductive bar member connected to the electrode piece. The conductive bar member is surrounded by a tubular insulating member. The tubular insulating member is inserted in...

A transport convergence (TC) subsystem for use as a form of logical pipeline processor is disclosed. The TC subsystem includes a number of ASIC computing blocks interconnected through a local bus for transferring data objects used as a form of common data I/O for each ASIC. The data object includes both control and data portions. A TC scheduling circuit coordinates transfer of data objecst to and from a TC data object memory that is local or external. The TC data object memory is shared in commo...

An injection apparatus for introducing a slurry of water-swellable gelling agent into a water line feeding a fixed fire-extinguishing system to form an ablative extinguishant therein. The apparatus includes a peristaltic pump driven by a hydraulic motor using water at line pressure for motive fluid and controlled by a servomechanism driven in part by a flow sensor to ensure injection rates corresponding to flow rates of water in the line. The injection apparatus is operated in a no-injection fai...

A rotational speed sensor for a skid control system for sensing the rotational speed of a prop shaft of a wheeled vehicle having a rotor mounted for rotation with a prop shaft and a stator mounted on the differential housing of the vehicle. The stator and rotor are provided with confronting circumferentially disposed teeth with the stator further including a coil for providing an output signal to the skid control system and the rotor further including a magnet for establishing a flux through the...

A self-adjusting wheel speed sensor assembly including a magnetic sensor and a rotor on a vehicle axle and wheel. The sensor and rotor are automatically adjusted to a predetermined relationship as the wheel is mounted on the axle and are maintained in that relationship during operation of the vehicle. The sensor is manufactured as a self-contained modular unit and the rotor is formed by a metal stamping operation.

A self-adjusting wheel speed sensor mechanism including a magnetic sensor and rotor on a vehicle axle and wheel. The sensor and rotor are automatically adjusted to a predetermined relationship as the wheel is mounted on the axle and are maintained in that relationship during operation of the vehicle.

A self-adjusting wheel speed sensor mechanism including a magnetic sensor and rotor on a vehicle axle and wheel, the sensor and rotor being automatically adjusted to a predetermined relationship as the wheel is mounted on the axle.

A method and system for propagating mutual authentication data in both a first wireless communication network and a second wireless communication network is useful for unifying wireless communication networks. The method includes mutually authenticating a first node operating in the first network and a second node operating in the second network (step 205). A unification message is then transmitted from the first node to a third node operating in the second network, where the unification message...

This invention concerns an ignition plug for internal combustion engines and a process for igniting gas mixture by the use thereof, which functionally speaking are characterized by utilizing the expansion of initial gas combustion following the formation of primary ignited gasses in a spark gap for the formation of secondary ignited gasses and the completion of combustion over the entire space of the ignition plug. For this, either the inside surface of a ground electrode opposed to a center ele...
