Abstract: An automated diabetes data interpretation system is provided which combines symbolic and numeric computing approaches in order to identify and highlight key clinical findings in the patient's self-recorded diabetes data. The patent data, including blood glucose levels and insulin dosage levels, recorded by a diabetic patient over a period of time by means of a glucose meter or the like, is initially downloaded into a central processing system such as a personal computer. The accepted diabetes data is subsequently processed to (a) identify insulin dosage regimens corresponding to predefined significant changes in insulin dosage which are found to be sustained for at least a predefined segment of the overall data collection period, (b) identify statistically significant changes in blood glucose levels resulting across adjacent ones of the identified insulin regimen periods, and (c) identify clinically significant changes in blood glucose levels from within the identified statistically significant glucose level changes. The results of the diabetes data processing are generated in the form of a comprehensive yet easily understandable data interpretation report highlighting the processing results, including details pertaining to the identified insulin regimens and the associated clinically significant changes in glucose levels.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for controlling output saturation in adaptive digital filters (30) used in active noise control systems. A practical adaptive filter (30) has a specified maximum value for its output signal, above which the output signal becomes clipped and filter output saturation occurs. According to the described method and apparatus, the filter output signal value (OUTPUT(n)) is monitored to detect the occurrence of filter output saturation. Then, the filter (30) is adjusted to reduce the value of the output signal (OUTPUT(n)), when output saturation is detected. Based upon the detection of filter output saturation, a power reference level is established to estimate the maximum average power that the output signal (OUTPUT(n)) can contain without causing saturation. The filter weighting coefficients are then adjusted in accordance with the difference between the established power reference level and a computed average power associated with the filter output signal (OUTPUT(n)).

Abstract: A projection system comprises a light source, a dichroic mirror for separating white light into blue, green and red color light beams, a halfwave plate for converting the direction of polarization, three light valves for forming optical images depending on a picture signal, and three projection lenses for projecting the optical images on the light valves onto a screen. By using the halfwave plate, the color light of p-polarized light component or s-polarized light component emitted from the dichroic mirror is entered into the liquid crystal panel. The gradient width of the spectral distribution of the color light entering the liquid crystal panel is smaller, and the color nonuniformity of projected image by changes of spectral transmittance characteristic of the dichroic mirror with respect to the incident angle is reduced.

Abstract: An RF limiter circuit (16′) having an input terminal (16a′) and an output terminal (16b′) includes an RF propagation network (T₁) having a first end coupled (C1) to the input terminal (16a′) of the circuit and a second end coupled (C2) to the output terminal (16b′) of the circuit. A pair of diodes (22, 24) is arranged with the anode of one diode (24) coupled to the RF propagation network (T₁) and the cathode of the other diode (22) coupled to the RF propagation network (T₁). A bias network (18) distributes a reverse bias voltage across each of the diodes (22,24) and provides a DC voltage on the RF propagation network (T₁). The magnitude of the reverse bias voltage is chosen to be such that the wanted RF signal does not cause avalanche break down of the diodes (22,24), but higher amplitude signals which would damage a subsequent circuit cause avalanche breakdown before forward conduction of the diodes (22,24) occurs.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for molding near net-shape glass articles. In general, the inventive method comprises two basic steps; (1) heating the receiving and opposing molding surfaces of a mold apparatus to different predetermined temperatures; and, (2) bringing the receiving and opposing molding surfaces of the mold into essential contact with each other and pressing a delivered molten glass charge for a time sufficient to remove enough heat from the charge such that the temperatures of the molding surfaces and the glass charge are all nearly at equilibrium below the glass charge's softening point. The press time and the differential mold heating combine to achieve symmetric heat removal, i.e. causing all temperatures to reach equilibrium at nearly the same time.

Abstract: The invention converts information input form either a charge line (A) or a non-charge line (B) to data form and then stores it in a memory device (100; 100') along with identification data specifying the type of line on which said information was received. It also reads information from said memory device (100; 100') in response to information read requests received by way either of a charge line (A) or of a non-charge line (B) and, when called upon to output said information either to a charge line (A) or to a non-charge line (B), it inhibits the output of said information to a non-charge line (B) in cases where the line indicated by the aforementioned identification data and the line on which the information read request is received are both non-charge lines (B). This enables either the sending party or the receiving party of a service, but not both, to be charged for the service while at the same time ensuring that, if the sending party and the receiving party of the service both use a non-charge line (B), the output of the information will be inhibited in order to preserve the integrity of the charging function. Moreover, if the line indicated by the identification data and the line on which the read request is received are both charge lines (A), a message is sent to the issuer of the read request to indicate the availability of a non-charge line (B). This prevents the sending party and the receiving party of the same service from both being charged for said service.

Abstract: A fast low-to-high voltage translator with immunity to latch-up. The circuit includes a voltage comparator and employs at least one transistor (52, 60) which is used to quickly pull up a node. It further uses another transistor (54) which is capable of limiting the voltage at certain nodes (58, 66, 70) in order to eliminate latch-up if a pumped power supply is provided to the circuit. Latch-up therefore is eliminated during power-up. Other transistors (56, 64) are utilized as voltage drop limiters to limit the voltage drop across other transistors during switching. This provides improved reliability by reducing substrate current and hot carriers.

Abstract: An improved torque converter clutch (TCC) engagement control method utilizing a combination of pressure control and flow control methodologies to ensure consistently smooth and timely TCC engagement. The engagement is initiated with a pressure control methodology in which the duty cycle of a PWM actuator is selected to produce a desired pressure differential across the TCC clutch plate. However, if the flow conditions are such that the pressure control methodology fails to promptly initiate engagement of the TCC, as detected in relation to the speed difference across the torque converter, a flow control methodology is substituted for the pressure control to initiate clutch engagement. In this case, the duty cycle of the actuator is adjusted to a value which provides full or near-full fluid flow. This control is maintained for a predetermined period, or until the speed difference across the torque converter indicates initiation of TCC engagement. At such point, the pressure control methodology is resumed to complete the TCC engagement.
