A light scanning system formed on a common substrate comprises a light scanner and a sensor. The light scanner scans light across a target. The sensor detects light reflected from the target and creates a signal representative of the detected light. The light scanner may include a light source and a deflector, such as a micro-machined scan module. The micro-machined scan module may comprise an electrode, a support mounted on the electrode, and a mirror element mounted at one end of the support, ...

The invention relates to a common rail injector for the injection of fuel in a common rail injection system of an internal combustion engine, which has an injector housing with a fuel inlet that communicates with a central high-pressure reservoir outside the injector housing and communicates with a pressure chamber inside the injector housing, from which highly pressurized fuel is injected depending on the position of a control valve, which assures that a nozzle needle, which can move axially ba...

The invention relates to a common rail injector having an injector housing (2), which communicates via a fuel inlet (3) with a central high-pressure reservoir, which is supplied with fuel from a fuel tank, which fuel, as a function of the position of a 3/2-way magnet valve (4), passes into a high-pressure bore (5) of an injection nozzle (6), and the 3/2-way magnet valve (4) has a control piston (14), which can be moved back and forth between a closed and an open valve position and which on one o...

The invention relates to a common rail injector for injecting fuel in a common rail injection system of an internal combustion engine, in particular a large diesel engine, having an injector housing which communicates with a central high-pressure reservoir and in which a nozzle needle can move axially counter to the initial stress of a nozzle spring which is contained in a nozzle spring chamber, in order to adjust the injection onset and the injection quantity as a function of the position of a ...

The present invention is an improved filter assembly for providing at least common-mode filtering. A filter assembly in accordance with the present invention includes a plurality of spaced apart electrical conductors (102) for carrying at least common-mode electrical current; a housing (104) electrically isolated from the plurality of electrical conductors and containing a portion of a length of the plurality of electrical conductors, the housing having an interior cavity (104) defined by a wall...

An injector for a common rail fuel injection system employs a solenoid operated valve configuration which functions to control the amount of filling by regulating the start of filling and the end of filling between the injection events. In some embodiments, a three-way solenoid valve is employed. The start of injection is controlled by a control piston. An intensifier piston is employed to increase the injection pressure. A pilot piston assembly may also be employed to regulate the shape of the ...

Two design variations which allow multiple processors to start up using a single ROM are disclosed. In each design, a single, primary processor is allowed to perform a complete POST while the remaining, secondary processors are directed in the course of their POST to perform a more limited initialization sequence. At power on, the primary processor begins a normal POST, while the secondary processors are held until a vector is placed into a redirection vector location. Each secondary processor i...

The invention relates to a common rail fuel injector having an injector housing with a fuel inlet in communication with a central high-pressure fuel reservoir outside the injector housing and with a pressure chamber inside the injector housing. A control valve assures that a nozzle needle lifts from a seat when the pressure in the pressure chamber is greater than the pressure in a control chamber that communicates with the fuel inlet via an inlet throttle. The control chamber is defined by a bus...

A common mode choke coil is described that is capable of providing improved characteristics at high frequencies. A bobbin having a toroidal core is mounted on a base. One coil is wound around one half of the bobbin and another coil is wound around the other half thereof. Both ends of each of the coils are connected to corresponding terminals provided on the base. The one coil has its one end connected to one of the terminals, is wound around one half of the bobbin from one side of the bobbin, fi...

An improvement to a code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) system employing spread-spectrum modulation, with the CDMA system having a base station (BS) and a plurality of remote stations. The base station has a BS-spread-spectrum transmitter and a BS-spread-spectrum receiver. A remote station has an RS-spread-spectrum transmitter and an RS-spread-spectrum receiver. The BS transmitter transmits a broadcast common-synchronization channel, which includes a frame-timing signal. The broadcast common-sy...
