Abstract: To control the tension of a yarn (F) at a bobbin winder, where it is drawn from a cop (2) by a take-off (5) to be passed to a reciprocating yarn guide (12), a control value is derived for the yarn feed speed. The yarn tension is measured by a sensor (6) according to its position, and tension deviations are taken into account for the control value. There is a continuous synchronizing between the position of the yarn guide and the yarn feed control (18), giving a yarn tension profile. The yarn tension profile is derived from the distance from an edge of the winding bobbin (10) and a percentage reduction in the nominal tension value.

Abstract: A digital level shifter for driving the input of a scaled P-channel driver device within a voltage shifted range to preclude gate-oxide breakdown of the scaled driver device. The scaled driver device has an output operative within an elevated voltage range, so that the voltage shifted range biases the voltage associated with a logic signal from a lower voltage level to an intermediate level to preclude gate-oxide breakdown and protect the scaled driver device. The digital level shifter is implemented using digital devices thereby avoiding analog bias devices. The digital level shifter and the scaled driver device may be implemented on the same integrated circuit (IC) and fabricated using the same process as core circuitry so that the IC may directly interface external devices operating at elevated voltage levels without damaging the core circuitry or the scaled driver device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Upon cleaning of crankcase gas generated during operation of an internal combustion engine in its crankcase, a centrifugal separator is used, which includes a rotor arranged for rotation by means of a driving motor and arranged by its rotation suck crankcase gas from the crankcase through a conduit to the centrifugal separator. During operation of the combustion engine a parameter, e.g. a measurement of the load on the combustion engine is sensed, the magnitude of said parameter being related to the amount of crankcase gas generated per unit of time in the crankcase. Depending upon a sensed change of the sensed parameter the rotational speed of the rotor of the centrifugal separator is changed in a way such that the gas pressure in the crankcase is maintained at a predetermined value, or within a predetermined pressure interval, during the operation of the combustion engine.

Abstract: A method of determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid test sample that includes providing an electrochemical sensor adapted to measure the analyte in the test sample. The test sample sufficiently covers a counter and working electrode of the electrochemical sensor. A first potential is applied between the counter and working electrodes for a first predetermined time period and the current is measured and the time is recorded. After the first potential is removed or substantially reduced, a second potential is applied between the counter and working electrodes and the current is measured. The concentration of the analyte is determined in the test sample as a function of the current measured. An index is calculated and compared to at least one predetermined parameter to identify when a bias, if any, exceeds a threshold. An error signal or analyte concentration is displayed depending on the comparison.

Abstract: An iron core winding is such that a winding of a given polarity is coiled in series so that the beginning of each coiling and the ending of each coiling cross on a magnetic pole (17b) that is positioned in the direction of a circumference of the iron core (17). When the winding of the magnetic core with the given polarity is completed, the winding direction is reversed and the remainder of the winding, which has the opposite polarity, is coiled in series so that the beginning of each coiling and the ending of each coiling cross in the reversed direction. A variable reluctance angle detector uses the iron core winding. The number of windings of the output winding is the same for each pole, and an induced voltage output of a sine wave is obtained. <IMAGE>
