Christopher McCarthy - Glenview IL, US
Raymond P. O'Leary - Evanston IL, US

Assignee:

S & C ELECTRIC CO. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H02H 9/00

US Classification:

361 42

Abstract:

A reclosing fault protection device detects a partial bypass state. Upon detecting the partial bypass state, the fault protection device implements a ground trip delay operating state. The ground trip delay operating state provides a delayed ground trip response characteristic.

Assignee:

Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C10L 102
C10L 110

US Classification:

44446

Abstract:

The invention relates to high energy, oxygenated fuel compositions suitable for use in compression ignition internal combustion engines which fuel compositions contain a synergistic combination of dimethyl ether, methanol, and water, the combination providing a single liquid phase with good ignition characteristics. More particularly fuels comprising from about 72 to about 95 weight percent of dimethyl ether, from about 0. 1 to about 20 weight percent of methanol, and from about 0. 1 to about 20 weight percent of water are disclosed.

Appl. No.:

8/528119

Inventors:

Arunabha Basu - Naperville IL
Theo H. Fleisch - Houston TX
Christopher I. McCarthy - Naperville IL
Carl A. Udovich - Joilet IL

Assignee:

Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C10L 300
C10L 118

US Classification:

44448

Abstract:

A method is described for operating a spark ignition internal combustion engine utilizing an improved composition containing dimethyl ether and propane as fuel. An engine incorporating the invention produces a lesser amount of certain atmospheric pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, as compared to the amount of pollutants produced when the engine is operated at identical conditions with propane as fuel. Also described is an improved fuel composition which exhibits a lower vapor pressure than, for example, propane and, therefore, is relatively easier to liquefy and transport.

International Classification:

H01F 1502
H05K 502

US Classification:

174 52PE

Abstract:

An inductor housing having a platform for supporting an inductor and a standoff unit for supporting the platform away from a conductor board such that various electrical components can be installed on the conductor board between the inductor platform and the conductor board surface. The inductor housing also has a hole disposed therethrough such that the inductor housing may serve as an insulating standoff support member for connecting a conductor board to a chassis.

International Classification:

F01L 118

US Classification:

123 9033

Abstract:

A rocker arm assembly for use in the valve train of an internal combustion engine of the type having a fixed rocker shaft for supporting at least one rocker arm and having an axial passage adapted to be in continuous communication with the pressurized lubricant supply of the engine and with at least one radial riser passage extending from the axial passage; the rocker arm assembly including a rocker arm having a hydraulic lash adjuster operatively positioned in a socket provided in an arm thereof and, a hybrid bearing operatively positioned in the rocker arm so as to encircle the rocker shaft over the oil riser passage. The hybrid bearing includes an outer race having an inner cylinder race surface and a radial aperture in fluid communication with passage means extending to the lash adjuster, a plurality of needles operatively positioned on the race surface in rolling contact with a portion of the rocker shaft opposite the riser passage therein and, a semi-cylindrical sleeve bearing fixed to the outer race in operative engagement with the outer race between opposite end ones of the needles whereby to encircle the remaining portion of the rocker shaft, the sleeve bearing having a radial extending port means effecting flow communication between the riser passage in the rocker shaft and the aperture in the outer race whereby lubricant can be supplied to the hydraulic lash adjuster.
