Patent EP-0564175-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NORRIS TIMOTHY SWEYN BRITISH A
IPC: G01C19/5684
Filed: 1993-03-25
Abstract: A rate sensor (18) of, for example, the planar type is provided with an electro magnetic drive (10) rather than an electrostatic drive. The electro-magnetic drive comprises a magnetic excitation device (10) for generating a magnetic force (Fm) and a paramagnetic region (14) on the vibrating portion (16) of sensor (18) for interacting with said magnetic excitation device so as to excite said vibration. This arrangement has the advantage of permitting appreciable force force to be achieved for gap separations of typically 0.5 mm and awards the need to generate high voltages. Moreover, the problem of dust contamination in narrow gaps is avoided and the effects of air damping can be reduced so that adequate sensitivity can be achieved without the need to operative resonators within a vacuum enclosure.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une ossature porteuse à trois dimensions réalisée à partir de plaques de verre planes, de barres, de filins et d'éléments d'assemblage. Les plaques de verre, les barres et câbles tracteurs forment une construction en treillis avec des champs de treillis. Les barres servent de barres de pression (2). Les plaques de verre sont utilisées dans la construction en treillis en tant que plaques de pression (1) constituant des éléments de pression en bordure. Les filins (6) servent de câbles tracteurs. Dans leur zone marginale, les plaques de pression (1) sont raccordées à l'aide d'éléments d'assemblage (4) aux barres de pression (2) qui s'étendent en direction opposée à partir du plan des plaques de verre. Les câbles tracteurs (6, 7) passent d'une part par les points d'extrémité des barres de pression (2) et sont parallèles aux bords des plaques de pression (1) et ils passent, d'autre part, dans les champs de treillis en formant des cables diagonaux (7).

IPC: E04B1/16

Abstract: A generally rectangular wire grid of welded construction is utilized to define and maintain the positioning of rebar charged therethrough during the formation of structural column and girder cages. Pre-positioned ties guide the rebar through the grid. The pre-positioned ties are then tightened such that the rebar is held firmly in place at the close tolerance positions defined by the prefabricated grid. A plurality of such grids are assembled into expandable bundles such that they may be expanded in an accordion-like fashion about rebar charged therethrough, resulting in properly spaced grids for defining and maintaining the position of the rebar. Additional rebar members may then be charged therethrough to complete the construction of a column or girder cage. The modular reinforcement cages of the present invention thus eliminate piecemeal engineering requirements by providing modular building concepts in which a unique rebar bundle pattern facilitates improved containment.

Inventor: WHEELER EDWIN L
IPC: H04M1/15
Filed: 1993-05-14
Abstract: The invention is a dual reel cord take-up device for flat wire cable which has a generally semi-cylindrical upper and lower case half which snap together over a dual-purpose shaft to make two compartments. The first compartment is a cord take-up compartment which is divided in two by a slotted rib on the shaft in that compartment. Flat wire cable is received in both sides of the compartment through apertures in the walls of the compartment. In the second compartment is a flat coil spring fixed on its outside end to a generally cylindrical spring cup within said compartment, and fixed on its inside end to the dual-purpose shaft in that compartment. The spring cup is biased against rotation except to tighten the spring, so the shaft is continually under tension to rotate and retrieve the cable into the take-up compartment.

Abstract: This invention provides methods and diagnostic kits for determining the toxicity of a compound. The methods and diagnostic kits of this invention employ a plurality of E. coli hosts, each of which have been transformed with a DNA sequence encoding a unique stress promoter fused to a gene which encodes an assayable product. Each of these stress promoters is induced by exposure to a different type of cellular stress. The stress promoters utilized in this invention, in toto, comprises those which respond to redoxo stress, DNA stress, protein stress, energy stress and pH stress. The methods and diagnostic kits of this invention may be employed to characterize and quantify the toxicity of a compound, as well as to identify the cellular mechanism of its toxic action. The methods disclosed herein represent a more humane and economical alternative to the live animal testing currently employed to test the toxicity of new chemicals. Moreover, the methods of this invention, yield information concerning the action of a compound on a subcellular level. This information may be utilized to design antitoxins to compounds found to be toxic and in active drug design.

Abstract: A spatial light modulator (10) having reduced control circuitry as compared to existing devices. Sets of pixel elements (11) share a memory cell (12), such that each memory cell (12) has the same fanout as other memory cells (12). Each pixel element (11) in a set is switched to an on or off state via a reset line (13) that is separate from that of the other pixel elements (11) in that set. Frame data is loaded in split bit-frames during a set time period, such that each split bit-frame contains only the data for pixel elements (11) on one reset line (13). Thus, the same memory cell (12) can be used to deliver data to all pixel elements (11) in its fanout because only one pixel element (11) in the fanout is switched at a time.

Abstract: A method is specified for measuring earth faults on the conductors of electrical machines, in which method the fault resistance (Rf) is directly calculated from the injected voltage (Ui) and the measured voltage (URE) in a digital evaluation unit (7). Since the fault resistance is explicitly calculated and indicated, it is independent of the influences of the earth reactance. In addition, it is not necessary to record characteristic curves, with the aid of which the fault resistance is reduced, for each machine. Furthermore, by virtue of the digital calculation, the influence of deterioration, temperature fluctuations, injection-level fluctuations etc. is eliminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a valve operating device operatively connected to a pair of intake valves (V I1 ,V I2 ) and capable of opening and closing one of the intake valves (V I1 ) in accordance with the operating condition of the engine and opening and closing the other intake valve (V I2 ) in a small lift amount, thereby producing a deflection of the intake air drawn into the combustion chamber (5), and a fuel injection valve (55) for injecting a fuel toward the pair of intake valve bores that are independently opened and closed by the intake valves (V I1 ,V I2 ) respectively. The timing of the opening and closing of the intake valve (V I2 ) that is opened and closed only in the small lift amount is set at a time point such that the lift amount is maximized in the first half of the intake stroke of the piston. This promotes the atomization of the fuel which is being drawn in with the intake air by the opening of the intake valve (V I2 ) opened and closed in the small lift amount, and to enhance the combustibility in the combustion chamber.

Abstract: Normally, movement of an object to be photographed is detected based upon the brightness information output by a photometric means, and the object to be photographed is followed up. During the exposure process the photometric means cannot perform photometry, and therefore the movement of the object to be photographed during exposure is predicted based upon the movement information for the object to be photographed detected before the start of the exposure process, and the position of the object to be photographed after the conclusion of the exposure process is obtained. When the exposure process has been completed, follow up of the object to be photographed is restarted from the predicted position which has been calculated. By doing this, the object to be photographed is not lost sight of after the exposure process has been completed, and it is possible to continue follow up of the object to be photographed from its predicted position. 
     Further, when follow up of the object to be photographed by the follow up means has become impossible, forcibly the initial state before the start of follow up may be returned to. By doing this, the follow up target object can be again discerned in the initial state etc., and the photographer is able quickly to proceed to the next action.
