Abstract: A thick film resistor strain gauge (12) is applied to a stainless
steel shell (14) portion of a spark plug (10). There are two preferable ways of
applying a thick film resistor to the metal shell. In a first embodiment, the thick
film resistor may be directly printed on to the shell portion with special screen
printing equipment. In a second embodiment, the thick film resistor is printed
and applied as a decal to the shell portion. The thick film resistors may be
included in a quarter, a half, or a full wheatstone bridge strain gauge circuit (20,
22, 24). One of two embodiments of an automatic drift compensating circuit
(26, 40) is used to determine the change in resistance experienced by the thick
film resistors affixed to the spark plug. Either one of the automatic drift
compensation circuits output a voltage signal (50) which is proportional to the
pressure changes occurring inside the engine cylinder into which the spark plug
is threaded.

Abstract: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible core biopsy instrument includes a
detachable probe assembly (38) to enhance the accuracy of placement at a biopsy site and
avoid repeated insertions, even when used in a closed MRI magnet bore. In particular,
the detachable probe assembly (38) is configured for attachment to a localization fixture (16) for
accurate stereotopic placement to the desired biopsy site. While disengaged, dual lumens

from, and insertion of fluids to the biopsy site. The biopsy instrument handle (36) readily
engages to the probe assembly for taking samples. Features are included for visual
indications of the position of the cutter, prevention of disengagement when the cutter is
advanced into the probe assembly, and a tolerance take-out feature that minimizes the
deadzone gap at a distal end of the probe assembly, allowing samples to be taken close to
sensitive tissues.

Abstract: A vehicle control system and method in which a plurality of
beacon tags are disposed along a length of a track for a
predetermine number of blocks. The beacon tags each provide
information pertaining its location. Each vehicle that
passes along the track has a tag reader that solicits
information from the beacon tags and a transmitter that
transmits the solicited information, as well as vehicle
identification information for the transmitting vehicle, to
a wayside control unit. The wayside control unit receives
the transmitted position information and vehicle
identification information and in turn transmits a single
broadcast of information pertaining to each of the blocks
of the predetermined number of blocks. This signal is
received by all of the vehicles, which use only the
information about immediately approaching blocks. In
addition, dynamic tags located at positions along the
length of the predetermine number of blocks can be used as
a backup system for providing the same information that is
provided by the wayside control unit.

Abstract: There is provided a map display device and a navigation device for displaying a three-dimensional map in which information which is originally hidden can be displayed on a display frame (screen). The map display device (navigation device) includes a map storing unit for storing three-dimensional data of each map constituent, and a map display unit for forming a three-dimensional bird's-eye view map which is obtained by projecting onto the plane from a desired view point each map constituent which is specified by the three-dimensional data stored in the map storing unit, and displaying the three-dimensional bird's-eye view map thus formed on a display frame (screen). When information which is requested to be displayed by a user is hidden by another map constituent located in front of the information and thus is not originally displayed on the three-dimensional bird's-eye view map, the map display unit changes a projection mode for projecting the information or the other map constituent on the plane so that the information is displayed on the display frame.
