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 that 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 and with a relief chamber via a fue...

An actuator assembly for a vehicle brake system or clutch pack comprises a motor shaft having a first tapered cutout, and a ballscrew shaft having a second tapered cutout. The first and second tapered cutouts being adapted to mate.

This communication cable for telephone use has comparatively small numbers of pairs with the conductors of each pair twisted together with different lays and the pairs are assembled into shielded units. These units, which are preferably of the same construction as one another, are assembled in a twisted cable core with a shield around the core and spaced from the units, and a plastic jacket, of conventional construction, covering the shield.

The container for holding the radiation sources is provided with a circular upper end and is closed by a common closure member. This member is, in turn, clamped onto the container by a holder via a bayonet connection. A clamping tool is also provided to remove the holder and permit replacement of the radiation sources. This tool also enables the holder and closure member to be pre-stressed before removing the holder and after re-assembly of the holder.

Preparation of roe of the family mugilidae known as the common or striped mullet (mugil cephalus) for consumption wherein the ovarian membrane enclosing the roe is first cleaned and dried and then impregnated with salt either in brine or dry form. Thereafter, the membrane is encapsulated with an absorbent material composed of cloth or paper to form an envelope which is placed on a flat horizontal surface and pressed from above with a further flat surface with sufficient pressure, 0.25 - 1.5 poun...

A common path image exploring apparatus for use in a facsimile communication system. A common optical path is provided for both scanning and printing from a single light source in a facsimile transceiver thereby conserving space and duplication of optical apparatus.

An active common mode canceler includes a voltage detection circuit including a plurality of capacitors connected to the output terminals of a power converter for performing power conversion by switching a power semiconductor device and serving to detect a common mode voltage generated when the power semiconductor device is switched, a push-pull type emitter follower circuit which is controlled by the common mode voltage detected by the voltage detection voltage to output a voltage equal in magn...

A vending machine providing for easy and convenient repair of the machine in the event of external damage thereto as by defacement or vandalism. The front surface of the vending machine has a removable panel covering a substantial portion of the front surface area. The side surfaces of the machine are also provided with removable panels which are identical to the panel on the front surface such that a single type of replacement panel may be used to provide repairs for three different sides of th...

A circuit for reducing the amplitude of a common mode voltage across the inputs of a differential measuring instrument. The circuit comprises a voltage divider between each of the differential input terminals and the instrument zero reference point on one side, and between the instrument's zero reference point and the common mode voltage reference (usually earth) on the other side. A potentiometer forms the divider junction at the instrument reference point and is used to compensate for resistan...

A bifunctional antenna of a primary/secondary radar system comprises a reflector having a concave front surface illuminated by a source of primary radiation and formed with a row of circular ports along a horizontal generatrix, the ports lying forwardly of respective cavities or waveguides of cylindrical configuration excitable to emit circularly polarized secondary radiation. In some embodiments the polarization may be changed to a linear or an elliptical mode under the control of inserts rotat...
