IPC: G09B21/00
Filed: 1988-03-30
Abstract: A microprocessor-based control unit 17 includes EPROM stored 
programs for controlling two input stations 11 and 12, loudspeaking 
telephones 18 and 19, and a plurality of switching devices 22 
included on a serial link 21 with input stations 11 and 12. Each 
station 11 or 12 has a television type monitor 15 on the screen 23 
of which, when an input switching device 13, which is operable by a 
disabled person, is actuated, a main menu is presented in the form 
of a list of those of the devices 22 and the telephones 18 and 19 
which can be controlled from that station 11 or 12. By use of the 
input switching device 13 and the menu display, a device 22 or the 
telephone can be selected for control. If control involves more 
than power on or off, a new menu appears listing the various 
functions to be chosen, e.g. television channel, volume control. 
The menus are presented in colour determined on a pixel-by-pixel 
basis. Each switching device 22 controls the operation of a 
domestic appliance such as an electric fire, lamp, radio or 
television and also has a manually operable push button 27 and the 
control unit detects actuation of the push button 27 and in response 
causes the switching device 22 to change the state of the associated 
appliance from ON to OFF or vice versa.

Abstract: A process for mechanically bonding a sheet 10,20 of rubber 
to a sheet of 12,22 of another, e.g. a reinforcing, 
material, and a composite article made by the process. A 
molded sheet 10 of rubber having integral upstanding posts 
14 is assembled with the sheet 12 of the other material in 
such a manner that the posts 14 extend through openings 16 
in the sheet 12 of the other material. The distal ends 14A 
of the rubber posts 14 are then reformed (preferably by 
heating) to shape or form the rubber posts into rivets 14B 
which mechanically lock the rubber sheet 10 and the sheet 
12 of other material together and provide good shear 
resistance. According to another embodiment of the present 
invention, the reinforcement material 22 is a high melting 
temperature plastic which has an upstanding post and the 
molded rubber sheet 20 and has openings therein. The 
plastic posts 26 are reformed as with a laser to bond the

Title: Tri-axial accelerometers
IPC: G01P15/125
Filed: 1988-12-01
Abstract: An accelerometer has a moving magnet 6 within a housing 2. The magnet 6 is mounted within a support member 7 connected to the centre of a diaphragm 9 so as to permit movement of the magnet 6 along a measurement axis extending in the axial direction of the support member 7 by deformation of the diaphragm 9 and so as to permit movement of the magnet 6 along two mutually orthogonal measurement axes parallel to the diaphragm 9 by flexing of the diaphragm 9 to allow for pivoting of the support member 7. Furthermore displacement of the magnet 6 with respect to the three mutually transverse measurement axes in response to an applied force is sensed by a pickoff capacitor 14, and a respective output signal proportional to the component of the applied force along each of the measurement axes is supplied by associated sensing circuitry. Simultaneously the magnet 6 is restored to its null position by associated force coil pairs 30,32; 29,31; and 26,27. The use of a single magnet for measurement along the three axes renders the accelerometer of high accuracy and decreases the size of the measurement assembly.
Patent EP-0325281-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04B10/516
Filed: 1989-01-20
Abstract: A unipolar original electrical signal (1) is encoded by 
alternate mark inversion (2) and combined with a DC bias cur­
rent (4) for injection of a semiconductor laser (7) to produce 
a bipolar FSK optical signal (8) that is transmitted to a re­
ceiver. At the receiver, the received signal (8) is coupled 
with optical local power (15) and fed to an optical/electrical 
transducer (18), preferably a semiconductor, to produce an 
electrical signal (19) that is demodulated to produce the ori­
ginal unipolar signal (27). The demodulator (28A) may be of 
different types, for example employing delaying part of the 
amplified electrical signal and mixing the delayed part with 
the original signal for passage of the combined signal through 
a low pass filter (24); with proper selection of the delay, an 
AMI decoder is not needed. The demodulator may also be of the 
type that has one or more band pass filters to respectively 
separate the positive mark, space and negative mark signals 
that may thereafter be added. Filtering and polarization beam 
splitting may also be used in the demodulator for improving 
the signal-to-noise ratio and preventing other types of 
degradation.

Title: Phone management server for use with a personal computer lan
IPC: H04Q3/62
Filed: 1989-10-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for providing phone 
management (PM) services to personal computers (PCs) (11), which are end 
users of a PC-only Local Area Network (LAN) (10), by logically associating 
voice terminals of a separate voice and data Network (20), e.g., a Private 
Branch Exchange (PBX), with the PCs. To provide the PM services, a PM 
server device (21) is provided as an interface between the PC and PBX 
Networks onto which are bridged appearances of the logically associated 
voice terminals. The PM server device includes hardware and PM server 
application software that perform routing and translations between (1) PM 
messages of the PC-LAN which use a first PM signaling protocol, and (2) 
PM messages of the PBX which use a second signaling protocol. Each end 
user PC of the PC-LAN that is logically associated with a voice terminal on 
a PBX network includes PM user application software that provides a PM 
user interface and terminates the first PM signaling protocol. Typical PM 
services that can be performed at the PC are displaying calling/called party 
identification, retrieving and displaying messages on the PC screen, and 
placing voice calls from a PC-based directory.

Title: Capacitively commutated brushless dc servomotors
IPC: H02K11/00
Filed: 1989-11-16
Abstract: There are disclosed both one- and two-dimensional, high resolution, brushless DC 
servomotors that are linear, rotary, planar and cylindrical in nature. All of these 
employ a capacitive method for deriving the required position and motor 
commutation information. In suitable circumstances, particularly two-dimensional 
planar motors on air bearings, the method allows the use of the motor ferromagnetic 
cores themselves as the capacitive position sensing elements. This leads to a 
particularly simple and compact type of servomotor design.  
     In addition, since such motors can move at high spead, there are also 
disclosed two transformer coupled methods for handling the current drive to the 
motor windings. Both methods are simple, energy efficient, applicable to motors of 
any number of phases, and in addition, handle motor direction reversals 
automatically.

Title: Method and apparatus for the measurement of the thermal conductivity of gases
IPC: G01N27/18
Filed: 1990-02-02
Abstract: New methods and new katharometer apparatus for the measurement of thermal conductivity of gases are provided. The apparatus employs a single katharometer element (10), that is maintained at a constant operating temperature. If the element (10) temperature changes, changing its resistance, owing to passage of a gas with a different thermal characteristic, an amplifier (32) changes the power supplied to the katharometer element (10) to restore it to the predetermined temperature, the amplifier (32) output being a measure of the gas thermal conductivity. Operation of the apparatus is therefore independent of the resistance/temperature characteristic of the element (10) and is relatively insensitive to ambient temperature changes. Preferably a thermistor is employed as the katharometer element (10). Various operating circuits for the katharometer are disclosed. The invention also provides new operating methods for katharometers to reduce the sensitivity of measurement to thermal leakage and temperture changes to the katharometer body, and to permit the comparison of voltages across a series connected katharometer element (10) and a resistor (18) at a common reference point.
