Abstract: A differential apparatus comprises: a casing (1) rotated by an external power; a first shaft (9) rotatably supported by the casing; a second shaft (11) rotatably supported by the casing; a first side gear (17) formed integral with the first shaft; a second side gear (19) formed integral with the second shaft; and a helical pinion gear assembly (29,31) geared between the first and second side gears within the casing filled with a viscous fluid. Therefore, a differential limiting force can be generated by gearing between the helical pinion gear assembly and the first and second side gears, when the viscous fluid is pressurized and circulated within the casing by a gear pumping action of the helical pinion gear assembly caused by differential motion between the first and second side gears, even if the torque applied to one of the side gear is zero (as when one tire is floated perfectly from a road surface). The differential apparatus is provided with the differential limiting characteristics of both the torque sensitive type and the rotation difference type, in spite of a simple structure and a low cost.

Abstract: To transmit PALplus helper signals, a level range around the blanking level reaching into the blacker-than-black region is provided. The helper signal is modulated onto the colour subcarrier. However, the said level range is not or only partially covered by standardized insertion test signals. According to the invention, the television signal contains a test signal which provides for analysis of the PALplus signal supplied by a transmission link or by a video recorder by means of components arranged within the blacker-than-black region. The test signal also contains frequence components which are within the frequency range of the colour subcarrier modulated with the PALplus signals. The test signal can be a cosine squared pulse at colour subcarrier frequency, the spectrum of which is adapted to the PALplus signal spectrum. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A locking apparatus for a multicomputer system. The lock apparatus is a two level system wherein local lock managers grant locks on a resource only after they have acquired an appropriate token from a lock control server which is the owner of the resource. The lock control server is passive and has all the control information for a resource it owns. When a local lock manager needs a token in a specified mode for a particular resource, it acquires the token from the lock control server. If there are no conflicting tokens, then the lock control server grants the token. However, if there are conflicting tokens, then the lock control server responds with a list of the local lock managers with conflicting tokens. The requesting lock manager then requests each of the local lock managers with conflicting tokens to give it up and to acknowledge when it has done so. When the acknowledgements have been received, the local lock manager requests the lock control server to update its table and grant the requested token.

Inventor: AFFATICATI ARTEMIO
IPC: B65G47/68

Abstract: The present application discloses a method and apparatus for conveying parcels on a plurality of transport units (32) moving in a conveying path (30) between an induction station (26) and a discharge station (28). Each transport unit has a driven carrier belt (36) thereon, which is moveable orthogonally to the conveying path. The induction station includes a plurality of tandem driven induction belts (62), extending at an angle to the conveying path. The discharge station has a plurality of receiving ports (46) positioned along the conveying path. 
     The invention provides the ability to handle parcels having a length greater than the length of a single transport unit by providing the ability to induct such parcel onto two contiguous transport units (32) and to discharge the parcel from the two contiguous transport units to a selected receiving port (46). This may be accomplished by determining whether a parcel has a length less than or greater than a given length. For longer parcels, having a length greater than the given length, the parcel is inducted to two contiguous transport units by operating the induction belts and the carrier belts of the two contiguous transport units in a manner which positions the parcel on the two transport units (Figs. 9-11). The carrier belts of the two transport units are operated in a manner that rotates longer parcels, having a length greater than the given length, in order to position the parcel on the two transport units. This rotation is accomplished by operating the carrier belts of the two contiguous transport units until a parcel is positioned over the leading one of the transport units (Fig. 10). The carrier belt of the leading transport unit is then stopped and the carrier belt of the following transport unit continues to operate until the parcel is rotated into position on the two transport units. A parcel conveyed on two contiguous transport units is discharged to a receiving port by rotating the parcel concurrently with discharging that parcel (Figs. 12-14). The rotation is accomplished initially by operating the carrier belt of the forward transport unit while not operating the carrier belt of the trailing unit (Fig. 13). After a time delay, the carrier belt of the trailing unit is actuated in order to complete the rotation and discharge the parcel to the receiving port (Fig. 14). 
     Crossbelt sortation system (25) is provided with a transport unit test station (96) that is positioned adjacent to the conveying path. The purpose of the test station is to test movement of the carrier belt associated with individual ones of the transport units passing the test station. Each of the transport units (32) includes a magnet (204a, 204b) that moves in proportion to the linear speed of the carrier belt (36) associated with that transport unit. The test station includes a sensor (200) that senses the magnet of a transport unit passing the test station. The sensor includes at least one Hall-effect cell (208a, 208b) and a magnetic antenna (210) coupled with the Hall-effect cell.

Abstract: Concomitant measurement of EtCO 2 , EtN 2  and (FiO 2 - FeO 2 ) concentrations are used to detect a VAE. In a respiratory gas monitoring system, continuous measurements of end-tidal carbon dioxide, end-tidal nitrogen and the difference between inspired and expired oxygen concentrations are averaged using a predetermined time period and stored as historical data. Periodically, a present value of each of these concentrations is compared to its respective historical average for a predetermined time period. If the following conditions are met, the device signals the presence of a venous air embolism: 1) a decrease in the EtCO 2  concentration of 1.5 mm Hg; 2) an increase in the FeN 2  concentration of 0.03 vol%; and 3) a decrease in the difference between the inspired oxygen concentration and the expired oxygen concentration of 0.20 vol%.
