Patent EP-0269911-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAURIS JON E
IPC: G06F9/26
Filed: 1987-11-06
Abstract: A microsequencer includes at least two program counters which access microinstructions stored in a memory system. A first program counter is cyclicly incremented to sequentially access microinstructions of a principal microprogram. When a particular micro­instruction is accessed which indicates that a sub­routine will be the next program to be executed, a branched-from address, representing the microinstruc­tion calling the subroutine, is retained in the first program counter. An address representing the first instruction of the subroutine is loaded into a second program counter. The second program counter is then cyclicly incremented to sequentially access microin­structions associated with the subroutine. After the subroutine has been executed, the first program counter is re-enabled and cyclicly incremented so that the execution of the principal program is resumed in an orderly manner.

Abstract: An off-line switcher includes an auxiliary winding (22) on the secondary side of the power transformer (20) coupled by a power switch (14) to a secondary voltage source (12) in order to provide uninterruptible power to the output (10) from either a primary AC (1) or the secondary DC source. The power switches (13, 14) coupling both primary and secondary source voltages to the power transformers are driven at identical duty cycles by a common regulation control (30). Differing transformation ratios between primary and secondary sources of power define different operational ranges and determine flow of power based on the magnitude of the primary source of power.

Abstract: An article including at least one segment which is capable of being elastically shirred along at least a portion of its length subsequent to manufacture of the article, preferably by mechanical manipulation of a predetermined portion of the elastically shirrable segment. The predetermined mechanically manipulatable portion of the elastically shirrable segment preferably comprises an elastomeric member which is maintained in a prestretched and tensioned condition in the desired direction of shirring. The opposed ends of the elastically shirrable segment in the article are interconnected to one another through the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member. The prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member is also secured in fixed relation to at least one rigidifying member to form a composite structure which is strong enough to resist collapse in a direction parallel to the tensile forces acting upon the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member prior to mechanical manipulation of the composite structure. The article is elastically shirred by mechanically manipulating the predetermined portion of the shirrable segment until movement of the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member relative to the rigidifying member is effected. To elasticize the article containing the elastically shirrable segment, the relative movement between the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member and the rigidifying member must be sufficient to release the tensile forces in the mechanically manipulated portion of the   
    
     composite structure. This relative movement produces a degree of elastic shirring in the segment, and consequently in the article to which it is attached, in the direction of prestretching of the elastomeric member. The degree of segment shirring is proportional to the extent to which there is relative movement between the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member and the rigidifying member in the area comprising the composite structure. Thus, the tension in the elastically shirrable segment can be increased by the user, as desired, by mechanically manipulating more of the composite structure. 
     Elastically shirrable segments of •he present invention are particularly well suited to high speed article manufacturing operations, since the segments can be applied to the articles in a substantially untensioned condition and their tension released subsequent to article manufacture.

IPC: G01R13/32
Filed: 1988-01-27
Abstract: A method of measuring automatically the peak-to-peak amplitude of electrical input signal utilizes both trigger circuits of a dual trigger oscilloscope. The steps of the method include adjusting automatically the trigger level of the first trigger circuit until the first trigger level is equal to the maximum peak of the input signal while adjusting automatically the trigger level of the second trigger circuit until that level is equal to the minimum peak of the signal. The second level is then subtracted from the first level to calculate the amplitude. To minimize the time involved, the method distinguishes between signals faster than and slower than a preselected frequency and calculates more rapidly the amplitude for faster signals. Time is also minimized by adjusting hysteresis levels and voltage level settling times as the trigger levels are increased and decreased in search of the peak signal values.

Abstract: A steam sensor for a water boiling vessel consists of a moulded plastics body portion defining spaced-apart pivotal support positions for an overcentre bridge consisting of a bimetal and a trip-­lever pivotally journalled together at the centre of the bridge and each pivotally journalled at its other end in one of the support positions of the moulding. The trip-lever is arranged to perform snap-action movement in response to heating of the bimetal irrespective of the fact that a plain (non-prestressed and non-snap-acting) bimetal is used and can be coupled either directly to a switch sub-assembly in the steam sensor or indirectly via a Bowden cable or the like to a separate switch incorporated in a remote element protector unit. The switch sub-assembly in the steam sensor may be designed to be plugged directly into a socket formed in an element protector unit in which case the switch of the steam sensor is connected electrically in series with a switch in the element protector, and the same electrical arrangement can be obtained with the steam sensor and the element protector spaced apart from each other and interconnected by means of a lead having appropriate plug and socket terminations.

Abstract: The apparatus optically records digital information on a recording medium, for example, a disc, a tape and so on. The area of an optical spot cannot be made smaller than a minimum area determined by a numerical aperture of an objective lens and the wave length of a reproducing beam. Consequently, this causes a problem that the code of digital signals often fails to be discriminated in reproducing short pits and/or short pit-intervals which are recorded on the recording medium. The apparatus detects a phase difference between each edge of an input digital signal and each corresponding edge of a digital signal reproduced from the recording medium. The edges of a next input digital signal of the same code construction as that of the first input signal are corrected by a correction amount according to the above phase difference, and such operations are repeated whenever input digital signals are inputted. Consequently the apparatus can decrease errors of code discrimination to minimum and achieve high edge correction. Furthermore, since the input digital signal is delayed by a time interval between the recording by the recording head and the reproducing by the reproducing head, edge correction can be achieved with high precision.
