Abstract: A circuit with switching amplifiers and inductive loads is proposed, the switching amplifiers being driven in accordance with the control signals of a microcomputer. The proposed circuit brings about both the driving and the monitoring of the load circuits consisting of switching amplifier and load, the driving of the switching amplifiers being terminated without the involvement of the controlling microcomputer when errored voltage states occur in the load circuit. The circuit according to the invention thus permits a particularly rapid switching off of the driving of the load circuit in the event of critical voltage states and additionally permits the monitoring of the load circuits by the microcomputer in a particularly simple manner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of measuring an immnoreactant in a liquid sample, comprising the steps of :
     mixing the liquid sample with an excess of a complementary immunoreactant capable of specifically binding to said immunoreactant to allow an immunoreaction to take place, said complementary immunoreactant having been immobilized on insoluble carrier particles and labeled with an electrochemiluminescent substance that emit an electrochemiluminescent light by electrolytic oxidation in the presence of an activated oxygen,   applying an electric voltage to a pair of electrodes between which the mixture obtained above is placed, in the presence of an activated oxygen to allow electrochemiluminescence to take place, and   measuring the emission of the electrochemiluminescent light. The accuracy of measurement is high since the rate of change of emission of luminescent light depending on the change of concentration of the immunoreactant in the liquid sample is high.

Abstract: A pressure relief panel assembly for protecting a building against over-pressure caused by explosion. The assembly has a panel (28) pivotally connected to a frame (30) and held by a calibrated magnet (36) and striker (40) set which releases when a predetermined over-pressure occurs. A cable restraint attached to a shock absorber (132), or a linkage of two arms (60, 62) attached to a shock absorber (132), limits the extent to which the panel (28) can blow open. A spring (102) mounted on one of the arms (62) catches the other arm (60) when the panel has blown open, preventing the panels from reclosing and thereby preventing implosion damage to the building. Alternatively, or additionally, the panel, after opening, may be held partly open by a stop bar (80) which pivots to prevent the panel from fully closing, to prevent implosion damage to the building after the explosion.

Abstract: A compact torque limiting clutch (10) provides spring cup bolt assemblies (34) for interengaging a pressure plate (32) and input flange (12) on opposite sides of a friction flange (26) of an output hub (16). The spring cup assemblies (34) include bolts (40) employed for securing the clutch elements together, such bolts being restricted from rotating during the assembly process by engagement with noncircular apertures (58) passing through a retainer plate (56). The torque limiting clutch (10) is of pancake design, contained between axially displaced planar surfaces defined by an input flange (12) on one side and a pressure plate (32) on the other. In another embodiment of the invention, a keeper plate (113) is coaxially secured to an output hub (104) with a friction disc (106) fixedly secured therebetween. An input drive flange (102) is rotatably mounted on the keeper plate (113). A separator disc (122) extends the full diameter of the clutch assembly and has cup-shaped shields (124, 126) extending therefrom, serving as seals and heat dissipating members. Torque pins (138) pass through a pressure plate (116) which is urged toward the input hub (102) by a plurality of spring cup bolt assemblies (34), the torque pins serving as indicators of clutch wear.

Abstract: A burner 10 for burning a fuel in an oxidant has a first nozzle 56 for producing a jet of the fuel adapted to burn within the oxidant with the flame extending outwardly from the fuel nozzle 56 and such that the particles of fuel become increasingly more buoyant along the length of the flame. The nozzle 56 is mounted at the front of a body member 20 centrally located within a duct 14 for oxidant. The duct 14 and the body member 20 provide surfaces 22 and 24 that define a convergent/divergent upper (third) nozzle 30 and also provide surfaces 26 and 28 that define a convergent/divergent lower (second) nozzle 32. The lower nozzle 32 is located below the fuel nozzle 56 and creates a lower jet of the oxidant that produces a low-pressure field below the fuel jet for downwardly spreading the fuel into the oxidant. The upper nozzle 30 is located above the nozzle 56 and creates an upper jet of the oxidant able to support combustion of the particles of the fuel. The velocities of the upper and lower oxidant jets can be adjusted independently of their mass flow rates to adjust the flame shape from sharp (convection dominated) to lazy (radiation dominated) without changing the chemical composition of the flame. The adjustment is made by moving the body 20 relative to the end of the duct 14.

Title: Musical tone generating apparatus
Inventor: SUZUKI HIDEO
IPC: G10H1/26
Filed: 1987-04-14
Abstract: A musical tone generating apparatus utilizing a data compression method is disclosed. A musical tone is sampled and is converted into waveform data (S(n)). These waveform data (S(n)) are compressed into compressed data (C(n)) by a linear predictive coding method and further by a differential quantization method. The number of bits of each of the compressed data (C(n)) is thus significantly smaller than that of the waveform data (S(n)). Thereafter, a memory (2) stores the thus compressed data corresponding to an attack portion of the tone and a selected part of a sustain portion of the tone. Hence, it is possible to remarkably reduce the memory storage. When generating a musical tone, the memory (2) reads out the compressed data (C(n)) of the attack portion and thereafter repeatedly reads out the compressed data of the selected part. The read-out compressed data are sequentially decoded into the original digital data. Thus, the whole waveform of the musical tone is reproduced.

Abstract: In the neck of a symmetrically constructed harp, the strings arranged "centrally" in the middle of the neck are pressed, by means of slides with a cam, against a pin which is arranged precisely at the precalculated semitone distance. The vibrating length of the string is shortened, and the string sounds a semitone higher. As a result, the harp can be played in various keys - up to 8 keys - without retuning by means of the tuning pegs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a diathermy handpiece with endoscopic probe for use in surgical interventions, especially in laparoscopic ultrasound dissections, in which any haemorrhage due to the intervention has to be stopped by sealing the blood vessels. The essential advantage of the present solution resides in the fact that it is possible to permit coagulation and dissection with one apparatus, that is to say, that the sonotrode 8 which accommodates the gas feed line 19 and the suction channel 6 is given an electrically conducting design. The diathermy handpiece can be connected to an endoscopic probe which enhances the applications of this apparatus considerably.

Abstract: A dual-chamber pacemaker provides DDI pacing with PVC-protected hysteresis and automatic AV interval adjustment. An extended hysteresis atrial escape interval (AEI H ) is invoked in response to the occurrence of either an atrial paced event followed by a sensed R-wave (an AR event), or an atrial sensed event followed by a sensed R-wave (a PR event). The occurrence of a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) thus does not trigger AEI H . In one embodiment, AEI H  is not invoked unless the sensed AR or PR interval exceeds a prescribed reference interval. In a further embodiment, the AV interval (AVI) associated with the DDI operation is automatically shortened following an atrial stimulation pulse (A-pulse) delivered upon the timing-out of the AEI H . The shortened AVI is maintained for a programmed number of cycles of DDI operation, after which a lengthened AVI is reestablished for one cycle. If AV pacing follows after using the lengthened AVI, then the shortened AVI is reinstated for a second number of programmed cycles of DDI operation. If AR pacing follows after using the lengthened AVI, signifying intact AV nodal conduction, then the AVI is lengthened to the programmed AVI over a prescribed number of cycles.
