Abstract: An aircraft automatic braking system processes the flight crew selected
stopping position of the aircraft on the runway via a control display unit (30)
and the aircraft's actual position, provided by a global positioning system (34),
to generate a stop-to-position deceleration control signal in a provided control
logic (36). If the flight crew selects the stop-to-position autobraking mode, the
system determines whether or not a stop-to-position autobraking mode meets
several predetermined criteria and, if the criteria are met, applies a control
signal to the aircraft's braking system (62, 66) such that the aircraft is smoothly
braked tending it to stop at the selected runway stopping position. The system
eliminates the need for pilot lookup in a manual to determine a desired
autobraking setting to choose based on altitude, temperature, approach speed
and runway conditions and also operates to reduce pilot workload during
limited visibility conditions.

Abstract: A motor-driven tool is provided with a grip on which a switch is placed, and
the grip is coupled to the middle of a cylindrical housing which houses a motor in its
rear end and a motor output decelerator in front of the motor in its front end. A
deceleration rotation output shaft is provided in the front of the housing. The motor
houses an axial flow fan for air intake in the rear and a centrifugal fan for exhaust in
the front and has intake air openings in the rear side and an exhaust air opening in a
front side surface. The cylindrical housing also has an intake opening that connects
to the intake air opening in the rear side of the motor and an exhaust opening that
connects to the motor exhaust air opening at the position where the front of the motor
is located. The exhaust opening of the housing may be directed upwardly and away
from the tool grip, and the connection between a lead wire from the switch and the
motor may be positioned adjacent either the intake air opening or the exhaust opening
for effective cooling of the terminal. Additionally, an end plate of the motor, formed
of a good heat conducting material, can close off the end surface of the motor, and
thus may also serve as a radiator plate for a switching element positioned thereon, and
the number of parts can be reduced because an independent radiator plate becomes
unnecessary. A cooling vent opening may be provided in the end plate, and the
cooling efficiency of the motor can be improved. Further, a mounting plate for
attaching the decelerator may be mounted integrally with the end plate, and a separate
mounting plate becomes unnecessary.

Abstract: A driver (21a-21c) stores an electricity consumption
value of corresponding input/output hardware (15a-15c). The
stored electricity consumption value is registered in an
electricity consumption value table (30) in accordance with
a setting of the driver when an operating system carries out an
input/output function. When an application program (22a-22c)
requires to use the input/output function, the
operating system (20) judges whether or not the required
input/output of data can be stably carried out with the
remaining quantity of the battery (14) measured by a battery
remaining quantity measuring instrument (17), and it is
judged that the input/output can be carried out stably, the
operating system allows a corresponding driver to drive the
input/output hardware. With this feature, the operation of
an input/output device is prevented from being unstabilized
due to shortage of battery volume without changing an
operating system even when electricity consumption of the
input/output device is varied due to a setting or the
input/output device is exchanged or newly added.

Abstract: An interface between a card-type peripheral device (21)
and a host machine (11), such as a PC, determines the
operational supply voltage required to operate the
peripheral device prior to the host machine supplying the
operational supply voltage to the peripheral device. The
host machine first receives information stored on the
peripheral device specifying the operational voltage
required to operate the peripheral device. The host machine
then generates the proper operational supply voltage and
provides it to the peripheral device. The interface
prevents damage to the peripheral device due to the host
machine supplying an incorrect operational voltage.

IPC: G06F13/38

Abstract: In a distributed computer system, a sending node prompts a receiving node to
allocate and export to the sending node one or more memory "segments". Each
allocated segment is sufficiently large to hold multiple receive buffers whose size fall
within a predefined range of receive buffer sizes. Once a segment has been
allocated and exported, the sending node allocates receive buffers within the
segment, using sequentially contiguous portions for successive receive buffers,
without any interaction with the receiving node. Messages are transmitted to the
receiving node by remotely writing the data portion of each message to an allocated
receive buffer and writing a control message with a pointer to the corresponding
receive buffer to a message queue in the receiving node. The receiving node
processes messages within the portions of the allocated segments specified by each
control message and does not keep track of the used and/or unused portions of each
segment. Only the sending node keeps track of the unused portions of each
allocated segment. As a result, the computational and communication resource
overhead associated with allocating receive buffers is substantially reduced. Once
the sending node has exhausted a segment, it sends either a segment release
message or segment recycle message to the receiving node. Recycling the segment
causes the receiving node to re-enable the sending node to use the segment once
the receiving node has processed all the messages previously written to receive
buffers in the segment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a post-curing process, in a
thermally insulated and non-energized environment, for the vulcanization
of pneumatic tyres, comprising removing the pneumatic tyres from its
respective vulcanizer or vulcanization mould as soon as it reaches a
consistency stage sufficient to keep the geometry thereof unchanged, and
then transferring it to a confined environment where the post-curing step
of the pneumatic tyre is carried out under conditions of controlled cooling
in a thermally insulated environment devoid of any heating system. 
     The insulated environment in which cooling takes place,
is called herein repository and is simple to make and install industrially,
and it can be a rigid structure (figure 1) or a cover of non-rigid material
of the blanket type with which the pneumatic tyre is coated (figure 2). 
     In this process, post-curing of the pneumatic tyre is
effected under controlled cooling in a thermally insulated environment,
so as to minimize the influence of environmental changes such as
temperature and wind resulting in more homogeneous vulcanized
products. Through this invention, it is possible to reduce the residence
time of the pneumatic tyres within the vulcanizers, releasing them for
new charges, and this means savings in energy, time and production
volume.
