Abstract: An improved control system for an automatic change gear transmission (10) driven by a throttle (18) controlled engine (12) is provided. The control system includes a processing unit (30) for receiving inputs indicating at least throttle position (18), engine speed (20) and vehicle speed (28) and for processing these inputs in accordance with a program to determine the correct engaged gear ratio and for issuing command signals to a transmission shifting mechanism (26). The processing unit includes a program having first mode of operation and a second mode of operation and is effective to operate in the second mode of operation after a shift until reset to the first mode of operation. The engine speeds (52, 48) at which downshifts and upshifts are commanded in the second mode of operation are modified from the normal engine speeds (42, 40) at which downshifts and upshifts are commanded in the first mode in accordance with the direction of the last shift. The improvement includes means response to a calculated expected engine speed (B) at the time of the last shift, and vehicle performance subsequent to the last shift, for reseting the program to the first mode thereof after a shift.

Abstract: A phased array semiconductor laser (30) favoring emission in the 1 st  or N th  supermode over other potential supermodes of the laser comprising a plurality of spatially disposed laser elements (32-41) formed relative to an active region to provide optical cavities for light wave generation and propagation under lasing conditions and wherein the optical field of laser elements are coupled into the optical cavities of adjacent laser elements to provide a phase locked condition across the array. The position of the outer laser element (32,41) at each end of the array are spaced closer (D¹) to adjacent laser element compared to the spacing (D) provided between all the other of laser elements (33-40) such that the coupling across the array is enhanced to produce at least one supermode with an intensity envelope which for its most part is substantially uniform and rectangular shaped. The optimized optical coupling coefficient between the outer lasing elements and their adjacent laser elements is √2 K, where K is the optical coupling coefficient between the other laser elements. The optical coupling coefficient of √2 K between these outer lasing elements, however, may be within the range of 80% to 120% of √2 K. The phase of some of the laser elements in the array may be reversed 180°.

Abstract: A plurality of semiconductor elements 12 are located within suitahble carriers 13, and a plurality of such carriers 13 are enclosed within a bag 17 or other container. The bag 17 is made from a moisture-proof film 11 which is air sealed to enclose the elements 12. To eliminate moisture within the bag 17, a desiccant may be provided within the bag 17 and/or within the carriers 13. Furthermore a humidity indicator 15 may be provided within the bag 17, which is visible from the outside of the bag 17, and hence provides a visual indication if there is condensation within the bag 17 which could affect the elements 12. As a further step, the film 11 may be multi-­layered with one layer being a metal sheet. 
     In this way, contamination by moisture of the semiconductor elements during storage or transport may be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of damage when the semiconductor elements are mounted on a substrate.

Abstract: A diffuser is provided with three discharges (26,27,28). Two of the discharges (27,28) are directed in one direction and, when installed, would be directed towards the outside wall (102) of the conditioned space. The other discharge (26) is directed in the opposite direction and would discharge into the interior of the conditioned space. Responsive to the temperature of the conditioned air being supplied, a thermally responsive actuator (40) of shape memory alloy is in either one of two positions whereby either one of the two dischar­ges (27,28) in the one direction or the discharge (26) in the opposite direction is blocked. This results in two discharges in one direction or one in each direction with the discharge area being the same in both instances.

Abstract: A hollow dipstick is provided for immersion in molten material to determine the temperature of the molten material at any desired depth. The hollow dip­stick is connected to an infrared detector by means of an optical fiber bundle for producing a signal indicative of the temperature of the molten material. An infrared focusing lens is provided within the hollow dipstick for transmitting the infrared radiation from the interior bottom surface of the dipstick to the fiber optic bundle. A container having a heating element therein is provided for receiving the dipstick when it is not in use so as to preheat the dipstick to a temperature close to the estimated temperature of the molten material to be measured to thereby prevent thermal shock to the dipstick upon immersion in the molten material. Alternatively the infrared detector is mounted directly on the dipstick.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement to a process for the catalytic cracking of a hydrocarbon feed in a fluid catalytic cracking unit. The improvement comprises using a regenerator which is side by side with the reactor in the fluid catalytic cracking unit, wherein combustion air is introduced into the bottom of the regenerator for forming a fluidized bed characterized as being rich in oxygen in the lower portion of the fluidized bed and essentially depleted of oxygen in the upper portion of the fluidized bed; and introducing and distributing the spent catalyst to the upper portion of the fluidized bed of the regenerator, wherein the air used for combustion is essentially depleted of oxygen, thereby allowing the coke on the spent catalyst to burn off at a controlled rate such that the catalyst temperature is maintained at a level to avoid sintering of the catalyst and to prevent the release of steam in the lower portion of the fluidized bed. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for accomplishing the process in an FCC unit. Finally, the present invention relates to a slide joint to accommodate thermal expansions of the apparatus for accomplishing the process of the present invention.
