Title: Method and apparatus for providing a deployment signal for a vehicle occupant restraint device during a side impact crash
Inventor: MAZUR JOSEPH F
IPC: B60R21/16
Filed: 1995-06-07
Abstract: A circuit is provided for controlling charge (or discharge) of an auxiliary battery using an auxiliary battery charge control circuit of improved design. The auxiliary battery charge control circuit is coupled between an auxiliary battery and a main battery for regulating charge and discharge of the auxiliary battery. The auxiliary battery control circuit includes a pair of voltage dividers coupled between ground potential and the main battery, and a pair of comparators having a mutually connected output. The inputs of the pair of comparators are connected to a reference voltage and the pair of voltage dividers. The output of the comparators is connected to a switch transistor, and the switch transistor modulates a battery connected transistor coupled between the main battery and the auxiliary battery. When the main battery voltage exceeds a maximum voltage level or is less than a minimum voltage level, then the comparators turn off the switch transistor, and the switch transistor correspondingly turns off the battery connected transistor causing disconnect of the main battery from the auxiliary battery. Conversely, if the main battery voltage is between the upper and lower voltage limits, then comparator output will cause switch transistor and battery connect transistor to turn on thereby connecting main battery to the auxiliary battery. A reference voltage and resistor values within voltage divider networks are chosen according to user-defined application for setting the upper and lower voltage limits necessary for connecting or disconnecting auxiliary battery from main battery.

Abstract: A scheme for error control on AAL in ATM networks
capable of realizing a reliable communication with a high
throughput and a low latency. On AAL, the segmented data
are sequentially written into each column of a matrix
shaped data region in an interleaver, while variably
setting a last column of the data region in the
interleaver. Then, an error control code for the data up to
the last column in each row of the data region in the
interleaver is obtained and written into a corresponding
location within a matrix shaped error control code region
in the interleaver. The contents of each column of the data
region and the error control code region in the interleaver
are then read out, and a prescribed header/trailer is
attached to a prescribed number of columns of the data
and/or the error control codes read out from the
interleaver to form a data unit. Each data unit is
sequentially given to a lower layer such that data units
are transmitted in forms of ATM cells through the ATM
network and an error correction using the error control
codes can be carried out for the data at a receiving side
when an error occurs during data transfer.

Abstract: An error diffusion method suitable for
producing an output image from an input image having a
set of digitized continuous-tone pixels is disclosed.
The method includes the steps of computing an image
activity signal; computing a set of activity weights from
the image activity signal; computing a filtered input
value for a digitized continuous-tone input pixel
responsive to the activity weights and computing a
filtered output value responsive to the activity weights
for each of the possible output levels. The method
further includes selecting the output level in response
to the filtered input value and the filtered output value
for each of the possible output levels according to an
error criterion; determining an error signal between the
filtered input value and the filtered output value for
the selected output level; and weighting the error signal
and adjusting the filtered input values for nearby pixels
which have not yet been processed.

Abstract: A refrigerating system, using CO 2  as a refrigerant,
for an air conditioner for an automobile. A pressure at
the outlet of the heat emitter 2 is controlled to a
target value in accordance with the temperature of the
refrigerant at the outlet of the heat emitter for
obtaining an operation of the refrigerating system along
the optimum control line η max . A pressure reducer 4 and a
cooler 5 are provided on a branched passageway 28
branched from a refrigerant recirculating passageway 27
for injection. The cooler 5 is for obtaining a heat
exchange between a flow of the refrigerant on the
branched passageway 28 after being cooled by the pressure
reducer and a flow of the refrigerant on the main
passageway 27, thereby cooling the refrigerant directed
to the evaporator. In a second aspect of the invention,
a means is provided for increasing a target value of the
pressure at the pressure reducer when a thermal load of
the refrigerating system is high. In a third aspect, a
series of pressure reducers are arranged on the main
recirculating passageway. The second stage pressure
reducer is controlled so as to obtain a desired value of
degree of super heating at the inlet of the compressor.

recess (36) in the coupling nipple (2) so as to lock the coupling nipple (2) in the sealing
position when the coupling nipple (2) is in its sealing position in the coupling sleeve (10). In

regard to the direction of introduction of the coupling nipple (2) and radially outside the
locking position in which the balls (14) engage the recess of the coupling nipple (2) so as to
allow that the coupling nipple (2) is introduced into or withdrawn from the coupling
sleeve (10). The coupling housing (2) comprises guiding surfaces (16) so as to guide the balls (14) to

IPC: G01M9/04
Filed: 1998-09-30
Abstract: The invention provides an elongate turning vane for altering the direction of air
flow in a duct, such as a wind tunnel, where the vane includes means for
attenuating sound propagation past the vanes. The vane has extreme ends
mounted to opposing sides of the duct, a longitudinal axis and an
aerodynamically efficient profile. The vane comprises a rigid core having air
permeable upper and lower surfaces, preferably a welded assembly of two
perforated sheet metal plates with transverse profile plates, with vent holes, to
provide the appropriate shape and venting. Two sound attenuating panels have
interior surfaces bonded to the upper and lower core surfaces of the core, and
exterior surfaces defining suction and pressure surfaces of the vane. Vent means
provide for passage of air axially within the core between the duct and the core
surfaces. Venting is required to balance the air pressure on both sides of the
sound attenuating panels to prevent distortion of the panels bonded to the core.
Rippling and other distortions detrimentally effect the aerodynamic efficiency
of the vane. To preserve the aerodynamic shape of the vane and structural
integrity, a rigid nose fairing is mounted to a leading edge of the core, and a rigid
tail fairing mounted to a trailing edge of the core. A protective layer on the
exterior surfaces of the sound attenuating panels provides mechanical protection
from air borne debris and contaminants. The protective layer is preferably a
matte urethane film that is impervious to air for protection of the panels and is
pervious to sound propagation between the duct and the sound attenuating panels
to preserve the sound attenuating properties of the panels.
