Patent EP-0843440-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DANKNICK DAN
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: A method controls a network device on a
local area network (LAN) to operate as a list
manager which maintains a list of device addresses
for the LAN, and to operate as a slave which
provides a device address of the network device to a
list manager. The method comprises the steps of
determining whether a list manager is operating on
the LAN, controlling the network device to operate
as a slave on the LAN when the determining step
determines that a list manager is operating on the
LAN, and controlling the network device to operate
as the list manager for the LAN when the determining
step determines that no list manager is operating on
the LAN.

Abstract: A CMM control system (16) which presents a three-dimensional
graphic representation (80) to the operator
showing the active probe tip (56, 62, 74) recognized by
the CMM software. The controller software determines
whether a motorized probe head (64) is present and the
exact location the probe tip. By using three-dimensional
vector graphic routines, the controller software presents
a graphic display (100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150) of the
probe relative to the machine's coordinate system. This
technique minimizes the occurrence of measurement errors
which could be introduced by the unwary operator who
inadvertently used CMM data taken with an unrecognized
probe tip.

Abstract: A laparoscopic electro-surgical instrument has a pair of
jaws (112A, 112B), at least one of which is pivotably
mounted on a housing (114A, 114B) to allow pivotal opening
and closing movements with respect to the other jaw in
response to reciprocating movement of an elongate control
member (118). The control member has an actuator (116) at
its distal end to convert longitudinal reciprocating motion
into the pivotal movement of the at least one jaw (112A,
112B). Each jaw (112A, 112B) has an inner surface (12IS)
which, when the jaws are in a closed position, engages the
inner surface (12IS) of the other jaw. Each inner surface
is formed by conductive surface parts of a conductive
portion of the respective jaw and by intervening insulative
surface parts (C), the arrangement of the conductive and
insulative parts of the two jaws being such that in the
closed position of the jaws, the conductive surface parts of
one jaw are adjacent, but do not touch, the conductive
surface parts of the other jaw. The blades may be arranged
to execute a shearing action, the conductive and insulative
surface parts extending to respective cutting edges (12C) of
the blades. The conductive and insulative surface parts of
each jaw are in an alternating relationship along the length
of the jaw with conductive surface parts (C)of each jaw
being in registry with the insulative surface parts of the
other jaw when the jaws are in their closed configuration.

Abstract: A picture decoding synchronizing circuit and a
picture decoding synchronizing method are provided. When
the decoding synchronization is controlled in units of a
picture, in a variable length decoder (120) using the
transferred PTS and DTS information, the value obtained by
adding the previous DTS to an offset is determined to be
the DTS value of the current picture, if errors are
generated in the transferred PTS and DTS, considering the
errors of the transferred bit stream. If no errors are
generated in the PTS or DTS, then the transferred PTS and
DTS are determined to be the DTS value of the current
picture. By controlling the picture decoding using the
determined DTS value, the bit buffer does not underflow or
overflow and the decoded data is displayed naturally on a
screen.

Abstract: A sleeve-type gas spring (10) for a turret indexing press (18,20) has an annular piston (34)
operably associated with a punch tool (12) to reciprocate therewith and defining in part an
annular gas chamber (94) constructed to receive a gas under pressure. As the punch tool and
piston are driven to their extended position by a press ram (14) or some such other power
device, the volume of the gas chamber decreases thereby increasing the pressure within
the gas chamber such that when the ram is retracted, the pressure of the gas acting on the
piston displaces the piston and the punch tool to their retracted positions. The force
acting to retract the piston and the punch is dependent on the initial pressure of the gas
within the gas chamber and the change in volume of the gas chamber as the punch tool
and piston are extended. Thus, the retracting force of the sleeve-type gas spring can be
readily changed by varying the initial pressure of gas within the gas chamber to provide
a spring which is versatile and which may be used with a plurality of different presses or
in a plurality of different applications wherein varying retraction forces may be needed.
Further, the sleeve-type gas spring has a very long life in service and can be easily
recharged and any worn seals easily replaced to facilitate servicing the gas spring.

Abstract: In an air conditioner (10,40,50) having a plurality of valves (30,31,32,33,34) for adjusting
the flow of refrigerant circulating in an outdoor unit (11) and an indoor unit (12),
and a controller (13,41,51) for controlling the opening degree of each of the valves (30,31,32,33,34)
while successively switching the control target value between these
valves and a valve control method for the air conditioner, the controller (13,41,51)
judges whether the opening degree of a currently-operated (controlled)
valve which is currently being subjected to the opening degree control
operation is coincident with a target value. If the opening degree of the
valve reaches the target value even within a predetermined one-operation
time set for the valve, the control target valve is immediately
switched to a next valve. Further, if the opening degree of the valve
does not reach the target valve even after the predetermined one-operation
time, the one-operation time is extended to continue the
opening degree control operation on the currently-operated valve.
