Title: Safety lock for non-linear recliner mechanism
Inventor: TAME OMAR D
IPC: B60N2/433
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: A lock and release system for a vehicle seat is operatively associated with the seat back cushion assembly and has a locking member movable between a released position permitting the adjusting movements of the seat back cushion assembly and a locked position preventing movement of the seat back cushion assembly. The secondary lock and release system includes shock absorbing structure constructed and arranged to control the movement of the locking member in response to the sensing of a crash condition which occurs while the locking and releasing device is in the releasing position. To compensate for temperature variations in the hydraulic shock absorbing structure a temperature sensitive spiral spring made of NITINOL (Ni-Ti alloy) is controlling the actuator of the inertie lock.

Title: Electronic game apparatus
Inventor: MARMET ANDRE
IPC: A63F3/02
Filed: 1999-06-22
Abstract: An electronic game apparatus consisting of a plurality of individual pieces and a master piece. Each individual piece has specific encoded information which is different from that of the other pieces. The game consists in bringing each piece to the master piece which, in turn, gives information to the player about the piece brought to the master piece.    One form of the invention consists in making the individual pieces sinkable and the master piece not sinkable so that, in playing the game, a diver retrieves from the bottom of a pool an individual piece and brings it to the master piece, either floating on water or by the pool side, to obtain information about the retrieved individual piece.

Title: Method for automated diagnosis of diagnostic objects
Inventor: WIRTH RAINER
IPC: G01M13/028
Filed: 1999-01-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automated diagnosis of diagnostic objects, especially drive trains. The method uses a stationary, fully automatic operating data acquisition unit which is arranged on the diagnostic object. The method also uses a monitoring terminal which is spatially separated from said data acquisition unit. The quantitative description of the damaged state and, as a result of which, the activation of data transfer capacity and successive indication of diagnostic statements are initiated on the monitoring terminal by the weighted significance pertaining to a damage characteristic, said significance corresponding to the type of damage, or pertaining to a combination of various damage characteristics. The damage characteristics are specified by the amplitude of the physical quantities belonging to kinematic events. Said quantities are formed for harmonic excitations in the spectrum of the wideband signal which is detected on the machine surface by means of sensors. The quantities are also formed for shock pulse-shaped excitations from the high-pass filtered envelope curve spectrum of the same signal or are formed for the discontinuously occurring determined shock excitations from the maximal value envelope curve spectrum of the same signal. The significance thus describes the relationship of the amplitude pertaining to the damage characteristic for the significance threshold of the damage characteristic, whereby a variable significance threshold is utilized which simply describes the level of significance pertaining to the damage characteristic based on the amplitude of the spectrum lines which surrounds the damage characteristic.

Title: Lithium-ion battery charge control method
Inventor: LENHART STEPHEN J
IPC: H01M10/44
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: A technique of operating a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is proposed for maximizing battery life. In a first instance, this technique calls for charging the battery at a lower temperature than the temperature at which discharge begins. Preferably, the battery is charged at a temperature T1 in the range between about +5°C and -20°C; and discharged at a temperature T2, in the range of about +5°C to +30°C, T2 being higher than T1. In another instance proposed by the invention, the battery is charged to an elevated state of charge which is above an initial state of charge at a temperature T1 between about +5°C and -20°C which is lower than a temperature T2, in the range of about +5°C to +30°C, at which discharge begins. In still another instance proposed by the invention, after the battery has been charged and discharged during the eclipse season, it is then charged to an intermediate charge level between about 40% and about 60% state of charge over a relatively long lapsed duration of time, about one month to about six months, and thereafter, the battery is maintained at this intermediate charge level.

IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: A method of identifying an antigen-responsive T cell within a population of T  cells, the method comprising the steps of: (1) obtaining a sample containing T  cells which have responded to the antigen; (2) determining individually for each of a plurality of specific T cell receptors, or individually for each of a plurality of subsets of T cell receptors, whether expression of a gene encoding a specific T cell receptor, or whether expression of genes encoding a subset of T cell receptors, has increased per specific T cell receptor-positive T cell or per specific T cell receptor-positive T cell subset compared to the expression of said gene or genes in a sample containing T  cells which have not responded to the antigen. The method is useful for identifying antigen-responsive T cells which are associated with a disease state such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Title: Torque control means for hydraulic motor
Inventor: ROGERS JOHN W
IPC: F15B11/042
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: A fluid pressure control system for limiting the torque output of a positive displacement hydraulic motor (21) for rotating a screw anchor (11, 11') into the ground. A normally closed solenoid operated control valve (76) is mounted in a bypass line (86) between the high pressure supply line (30) and the low pressure exhaust line (36). A plurality of electro-hydraulic switches (72) are arranged for setting at different predetermined fluid pressures and are in fluid communication with a differential pressure sensing chamber (63). Upon turning on of a selected switch (72) having the desired pressure level, the reaching of the desired pressure level activates the selected switch (72) for actuation of solenoid operated control valve (76) to move control valve (76) to an open position as shown in Figure 3 to bypass fluid from high pressure line (30) to exhaust line (36) to limit the torque output of the motor (21).

Title: Method and mold for producing an umbrella-type insulator
Inventor: OPPELT HERBERT
IPC: H01B19/00
Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: The invention seeks to provide an improved method for producing umbrella-type insulators comprising a core which is configured as a full body or a hollow cavity and umbrellas connected thereto, whereby problem-free demolding of said umbrella-type elements is guaranteed despite the fact that a vacuum is formed. This is achieved by fact that the mold is used with at least one valve which is arranged laterally and which extends as far as the surface of the umbrella elements or sleeve.      Immediately after the beginning or during axial movement of the mold away from the umbrella-type element with a sleeve, a gas medium is automatically introduced into the cavity which is formed between the core and umbrella-type element with a sleeve and the mold or the valve opens under the effect of traction or pressure and the gaseous medium is thus introduced into the hollow cavity.
