Abstract: An antiskid brake apparatus for a vehicle
comprises a braking mechanism (2) for braking wheels of a
vehicle, a master cylinder assembly (22) operated in response
to a brake operation force and adapted to brake the wheels
through the braking mechanism, a sensor (7) for detecting a
rotating speed of the wheels, a direction control valve (3)
disposed on a fluid passage (8,9) connecting the master cylinder
assembly (22) and the braking mechanism, a pressure reducing
cylinder assembly (23) which is operatively connected to the
direction control valve, a pump unit (5) connected through a
fluid passage (14) between the master cylinder assembly (22) and the

Abstract: A distribution system for a passenger entertainment system (30) that provides
appropriate in-line amplification and equalization of an entertainment signal carried on
a common bus (40). The distribution system is comprised of a network of zone
management units (ZMUs) (42a, 42b, . . . 42n) and seat electronics units
(SEUs) (48a, 48b, . . . 48n) connected to the bus. Each ZMU contains a variable gain
amplifier in series with the bus to amplify the entertainment signal carried on the bus.
Each ZMU also contains a variable slope compensation network (84) that is
continuously adjusted to equalize the amplitude of the entertainment signal across the
signal bandwidth. Each SEU contains a variable gain amplifier in series with the bus
to amplify the entertainment signal carried on the bus. Each SEU also contains a
fixed slope compensation network (330) that may be switched in series with the bus
to equalize the amplitude of the entertainment signal across the signal bandwidth.
Initialization routines are disclosed to initially configure the ZMUs and SEUs in the
distribution system prior to system operation.

Title: Method and apparatus for non-contact electronic control of waterflow in a sanitary installation
Inventor: MAUERHOFER ALEX
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1995-06-06
Abstract: Water supply valves for use in sanitary installations are controlled electronically by microprocessor based units that are battery powered. The reliability of the system is dependent upon the condition and state of charge of the battery and a number of status conditions are indicated. During installation when a new battery is used a single LED operates in a blinking mode. This mode is also used to signal that either a loaded or unloaded battery is down to 10 percent reserve power level. Continuous lighting signals inadequate power and with the LED inactive the battery condition is in order.

Abstract: A medium access control (MAC) layer protocol is used in a wireless ATM system
for integrated support of ATM services, including constant bit-rate (CBR),
variable bit-rate (VBR) and available bit-rate (ABR) services. The MAC protocol
supports both connectionless packet and connection-oriented virtual circuit
modes, with appropriate service parameter and quality-of-services selection. A
dynamic time division, multiple access/time division multiplex (TDMA/TDM)
approach accomodates the service classes in an integrated manner. A supervisory
MAC procedure integrates ATM ABR/VBR/CBR virtual circuits, providing
burst-by-burst allocation of ABR cells and call-by-call allocation of VBR and CBR
bandwidth parameters. A mechanism is provided for the dynamic allocation of
subframe capacities, assignment of ABR slots based on desired queueing rules,
assignment of VBR slots based on ATM traffic shaper parameters and assignment
of CBR slots based on bandwidth requirements.

IPC: A61M25/01
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: An ultrasonic endoscopic probe is provided with an articulating distal tip (14) at which an ultrasonic transducer (130) is located. The articulating section (30) of the probe can be locked in an articulated position by a lock control (28,28') located at a control section (10) of the probe. The locking force is variably selectable by the user, so that the articulating section (30) will be locked in position by a desired force. The articulating section (30) is controlled by cables (74,76,129), which include cable tension adjustments (70a,70b) that also serve to delimit the range of articulation. The articulating section (30) is formed of alternating pivot rings (120) with intervening polymeric pivot beads (106), which provide repetitively smooth articulation. The ultrasonic transducer (130) is rotatable to steer the acoustic scan plane during use, and a sliding membrane (164) between the transducer (130) and its acoustic window (162) allows the transducer (130) to rotate smoothly without sticking.
