Abstract: An electrically operated hook-type coupler for attachment to an end of a railway transit vehicle for joining adjacent ends of a pair of such railway transit vehicles, in which a gathering core is provided at the forward end of a coupler head, with a hook member pivotally mounted within the gathering core,  and being pivotal between a latch position and an unlatch position for engaging and disengaging a comparable hook member,  and further including a spring to bias the hook member to the latch position.  A driving device is also included within the gathering core for forcibly pivoting the hook member to the unlatch position to uncouple the hook member from any other hook member,  while an electrically operated actuator is provided outside of the gathering core, which in response to appropriate signal, will activate the driving device to disengage the hook member.   A lever arm is also provided to permit manual operation of the driving device to disengage the hook member.  Manual operation does not require any preconditioning of the coupler and automatically resets for electric operation.

Title: Map data based position correction for vehicle navigation system
Inventor: KAO WEI-WEN
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 1994-01-03
Granted: 1999-07-06
Abstract: A vehicle navigation system is used to determine the absolute position of a vehi cle with improved accuracy on freeways or rural highways. First, the system stores a known vehicle position in its memory. As th e vehicle moves away from the known position, the system uses a variety of means (12, 14, 16, 18) to sense external signals. These means include satellite transmission receivers (18) and magnetic compasses (16). When a change in the external signals occurs, the system recogni zes the presence of a landmark which can then be used to set the vehicle's position. To accomplish this, the system's data processor ( 20) searches a map data base (30), attempting to fix the position of the sensed landmark with respect to the initially stored known posit ion. When the system identifies the most likely landmark, the position of the vehicle is then reset to that position.

Title: Cheese-based dry flake product for bakery purposes
Inventor: MILLER VAN
IPC: A23D9/05
Filed: 1994-03-03
Granted: 1998-04-07
Abstract: This invention provides a cheese-based dry flake product for incorpora-tion into baked goods and flour con-fections, and methods of manufacture. The dry flake product comprises from 0 to 2 % moisture, from about 20 % to about 50 % cheese solids, and the bal-ance is a cheese-compatible and bakery-compatible oil that is substantially liquid at about 40 °C and as much as 43 % to 66 % of solid fats balance liquid fats, at about 10 °C. The cheese solids are nat-urally occurring cheese solids derived from cheeses from which substantially all water has been removed, and thereby comprise the butterfat, protein and lac-tose constituents of cheese. The cheese-compatible and bakery-compatible oil is chosen from the group consisting of suitable vegetable oils and butter oils, and mixtures thereof, which exhibit gen-erally similar solid fat index and melt-ing points as those of butterfat. More-over, the cheese-compatible and bakery-compatible oil is miscible with the but-terfat constituent of the cheese solids, in any proportion, at temperatures of about 35 °C to about 40 °C, so as to make a substantially homogenous mixture therewith, in which the protein and lactose constituents are held in suspension.  The method of manufacture provides for mixture of the ingredients so that the solids are suspended in the oils. Oil crystal-lization is initiated in a tempering unit, and the tempered product is deposited on a moving belt which passes through a cooling tunnel to cool and crystallize the fats to produce a dried flake product. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided.

A drive circuit (230) is operatively connected to the receiver circuit (224, 226, 228) and to the piezoelectric transducer (200).  The drive circuit (230) initially drives the piezoelectric transducer (206) with noise.  Subsequently, the drive circuit (230) drives the piezoelectric transducer (200) with an energy wave having a frequency equal to a frequency value functionally related to the natural frequency of the pressurized fluid in the vessel (30).

Abstract: Ends of several electrical wires are joined by a connector to a predefined torque level. The connector includes a hollow body having a open end, a smaller closed end and an outer surface extending between the two ends. The outer surface has a portion with an equilateral polygonal cross-section for engagement by a tool to effect rotation of the body. The portion of the body is specifically designed with elements, such as the corners of the polygon, which become rounded when the tool applies torque that exceeds the predefined torque level. Such deformation of the body thereby prevents excessive torque from damaging the electrical wires. Another portion of the body is provided to enable another tool the engage the connector for removal from the wires.

Abstract: An air diffuser apparatus has a box-like air diffuser chamber with sheet metal side walls, that are provided with a series of laterally spaced outlet orifices. Each orifice is formed by cutting out wing portions of the sheet metal on each side of a center line of the orifice and bending the wing portions outwardly to a position inclining toward this center line.  The wing portions define an air flow passage tapering in an outward direction.  The chamber has a base connected to a lower edge of the side walls that includes a layer of heat insulation material.  An upper structure closes the upper end of the chamber and has an inlet opening for introducing pressurized low temperature air into the chamber.  This arrangement is highly efficient for diffusion of low temperature air and can be of essentially all-metal construction and is economical and durable.

Abstract: A load balancing method and apparatus are provided, by which loads in a wide range of the entire system can be balanced with a small overhead with respect to load balancing processing, and the mean response time of the entire system can be shortened. The method has the steps of (i) estimating a load of the present nodebased on the number of tasks being or waiting to be processed and determining  an estimated load value of the node; (ii) accepting a task passing through a logical ring network (60B), and every time a task is accepted, comparing  the estimated load value and a threshold value which is set with respect to the number of tasks existing in the node so as to limit the load of the node; and (iii) judging, based on a result of the comparison, whether the accepted task is handed over to a task processing unit (20), or is transmitted to the logical ring network again without handing over the task to the task processing unit. The threshold value may be changed in accordance with a change of the number of tasks passing through the logical ring network during a fixed period, or when a round trip task is detected.
