Patent EP-0410593-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRAUN EUGENE RALPH
IPC: F16H59/70
Filed: 1990-07-04
Abstract: A control system (104) for semi-automatically executing automatically and manually selected upshifts and downshifts of a mechanical transmission system (10) is provided. The control system includes a central processing unit (106) for receiving input signals indicative of transmission input shaft (16) and output shaft (90) speeds, from a driver control console (108) indicative of manual selection of upshifts or downshifts from a currently engaged gear ratio, or manual selection of operation in an automatic preselect mode, and from a sensor (150) to sense operator manual issuance of shift enable signals, and processing the same in accordance with predetermined logic rule to issue command output signals to a transmission actuator (112, 70, 96) to implement the selected shifts upon a manually caused torque reversal of the transmission and manual substantial synchronization of the transmission in the selected ratio thereafter. Under certain conditions, such as relatively high or relatively low vehicle speed, implementation of automatically preselected shifts is prohibited until a shift enable signal is received.

Abstract: In a method of stringing an overhead conductor 1 incorporating an optical fibre ribbon 4, at least two lengths of overhead conductor, each having a bore 3 within and extending along the length of the conductor, are electrically and mechanically connected end to end in such a way that the bores of interconnected conductor lengths are smoothly continuous and the conductor consisisting of the interconnected conductor lengths is strung between a plurality of towers. After the conductor 1 has been strung, the optical fibre ribbon 4 is introduced into and propelled along the bore 3 of the suspended conductor 1 by fluid drag of a gaseous medium.
Patent EP-0412738-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GREENWELL DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: G11B7/24097
Filed: 1990-08-03
Abstract: Easily-fabricated, high track density, size-tolerant and efficient sector servo patterns are provided for optical disks. Easily-fabricated and efficient codes are provided for use with sector tracking optical disk servo systems. Marks larger than the spot size are used to avoid resolution problems and the limits of photolithographic processes. Independence from line-width variations is achieved by balancing. The features used for servo information are in every case in the form of pits or depressions in the substrate surface, such as could be produced by exposing a photoresist through a mask, followed by etching. The servo detectors sense the changes in reflectance from the disk owing to the cancellation of light waves from the two differing depths. The optimum depth is one-quarter wavelength in the substrate, so that the contributions from the two depths will be exactly out of phase. This produces maximum signal, but it also means that no data can be expected to be written or read in the servo sectors. When the spot is far away from a depression, or is completely inside a large depression, the disk reflectance is at its normal maximum value. When the spot is exactly centred on the edge of a large depression, the reflectance is very close to zero, depending on the exact difference in depths.

IPC: H03K5/13
Filed: 1990-09-28
Abstract: A constant time delay circuit which is insensitive to variations in temperature and has no D.C. power dis­sipation includes a temperature-insensitive reference current source (12) for dynamically charging and discharging a capacitive load (M5), a polysilicon resistor (16), and at least one time delay control circuit (14) to produce a constant time delay. In an alternate embodiment, there is provided a temperature self-compensated programmable delay circuit which includes electrically programmable resistor means (30) for adjusting the total resistance in a temperature-­insensitive reference current source (12b). As a result, the amount of the reference current is con­trolled so as to obtain a desired delay time.

IPC: E06B3/74

Abstract: A security door is described which has several inventive features. Firstly, the door (34) is composed of a core which includes at least lateral stiles (16, 17) and transverse rail members (18, 19, 14) with a central core (11), the core (11) being sandwiched between two facing layers (12), for example of plywood. As a second feature, one or more glazed openings are formed in the door, the or each opening is formed by cutting an aperture (24) in the door (34), forming a rebate (20) around the outer face of the door (34) in register with said aperture (24), placing a sheet of glazing material (27) with its edge portions within the rebate (20) and securing the glazing sheet using fasteners (29) preferably rivets or non-return screws, the peripheral portion of the glazing sheet (27) and the rebate (20) being covered by a planted moulding (30). Further, in order to strengthen connections between a door (30) and a door frame (35), potential areas of weakness such as hinges (44) and lock (39) are supplemented by pairs of reinforcing members (41, 43, 47, 48) one of which is on the inside of the door frame (36), one of which is on the outer side of the door frame (36), the two reinforcing members (41, 43, 47) being   secured together by fasteners (49), these structures serving to spread any bursting force over a larger area of the frame (36). In connection with this latter provision, a selected hinge of the door, for example an uppermost hinge, can be provided with said plates but unconnected so as to provide a weak point to allow entry by police or fire officers in an emergency. As a further aid to this possibility the door frame at that location, or over its entire length can be made from a stile member (56) which is composed of two parts (59, 60) which are adhered or otherwise secured together to provide a part line of weakness. There is also described a fastener arrangement for a security door which includes internal and external handles, a latch bolt and a locking bolt, the arrangement being that operation of the handle on the interior of the lock can cause movement of both the latch bolt and the locking bolt from their closed to their opened conditions. This allows rapid egress from a door fitted with such a fastener assembly.

Abstract: A horizontal synchronizing signal separator in accordance with the present invention comprises an activation signal generator (10), when subjected to a triggering operation, for generating an activation signal having a predetermined continuous ON time duration, a front edge detector (20) for outputting either one of first and second output signals according to states of a video synchronizing pulse signal and the activation signal, and a first timer (30) for making timing of the activation signal substantially coincide with timing of a front edge of the video synchronizing pulse signal on the basis of a composite signal corresponding to a composition of the first and second output signals, whereby, even in the case of a missing pulse or pulses in the video synchronizing pulse signal, the missing pulses are corrected with less phase shift in horizontal synchronization. As a result, there can be solved such a problem that, when pulse missing takes place in an equalizing pulse signal of the video synchronizing pulse signal, this causes horizontal synchronization to be disturbed in one field.
