Title: Torque split control system for 4wd vehicle
IPC: B60K23/08
Filed: 1990-04-17
Abstract: A driving force distribution control system for 
a 4WD vehicle includes a torque distributing clutch 
for varying a driving force transmitted to secondary 
drive wheels such as front wheels in response to a 
control signal, sensors for determining a 
vehicle speed (108) and a wheel speed difference (107) 
between the sensed speed of the primary drive wheels (103) such 
as the rear wheels and the sensed speed of the secondary 
drive wheels (105), and a controller for producing the 
control signal. The controller determines a, 
correction quantity which increases as the vehicle 
speed increases, further determines a corrected wheel 
speed difference by subtracting the correction 
quantity from the measured wheel speed difference in 
order to eliminate an undesired influence of a tire 
diameter difference between the front and rear 
wheels, and produces the control signal in accordance 
with the corrected wheel speed difference.

Title: Methods for sheet scheduling in an imaging system having an endless duplex paper path loop
IPC: G03G15/36
Filed: 1991-09-27
Abstract: Methods for scheduling sheets in an imaging system having an endless duplex paper 
path loop are disclosed. Preferably, the duplex loop includes a single sheet inverter without a 
buffer tray so as to eliminate the problems associated therewith. The basic method involves 
consecutively inserting copy sheets to be imaged into the duplex loop without placing any 
skipped pitches therebetween regardless of set or job boundaries. Duplex side ones from 
subsequent sets or jobs are used to fill any gaps which exist in the duplex side one sheet stream of 
earlier sets or jobs. Additional refinements include using simplex sheets to fill potential skipped 
pitches in a duplex side one sheet stream by converting simplex sheets located immediately 
subsequent to the duplex sheets into duplex sheets having a blank back side and scheduling the 
side one imaging of the now-converted duplex sheets into the potential skipped pitches. 
Potential skipped pitches can also be filled by shifting an appropriate number of simplex sheets at 
a simplex-to-duplex transition into any potential skipped pitches in an immediately subsequent 
duplex side one sheet stream. Further refinements include using duplex or simplex sheets to fill 
gaps which exist in a duplex side two sheet stream due to skip requests which occurred during the 
side one scheduling, inserting or imaging.

Title: Tight buffered fiber optic groundwire cable
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1992-02-04
Abstract: A fiber optic groundwire or static cable for use between spaced-apart support towers of an electrical power transmission network, for ground fault protection from lightning strikes and other electrical faults, with an integral fiber optic telecommunications bundle. A bundle of optical fibers tightly enclosed by a pliable thermally insulating strain jacket is firmly affixed into a helically-wound channel within an electrically conductive core. At least one layer of stranded electrical conductors serving as strength members completely surrounds the core. The tight jacketing of the optical fibers by a pliable strain jacket, combined with the firm mounting of the strain jacket within the helical channel of the core, reduces the axial tensional forces on the optical fibers that occur during and after installation of the cable. Also, the cable provides improved fault current carrying capability by utilizing a strain jacket made from a high temperature and thermally insulating silicone-based or ethylene propylene-based material. In another embodiment, the wire includes at least one fiber optic subunit firmly affixed into a helically-wound channel within an electrically conductive core of the cable. The fiber optic subunit comprises a plurality of optical fibers wound about a fiberglass central strength member having an overcoating layer of a pliable semicompressible material, and tightly enclosed by a pliable thermally insulating strain jacket. <IMAGE>

Inventor: RAMSEY III MAYNARD
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1996-01-03
Abstract: An automated sphygmomanometer which automatically
determines when a blood pressure determination needs to be
made. During a "guard mode" determination, a cuff on an
appendage of the patient is frequently inflated to a check
pressure, which is preferably below the patient's mean
arterial pressure ("MAP"), and the signature (shape,
amplitude, pulse period, etc.) of the measured oscillometric
signal is compared to a stored signature of a portion of an
oscillometric signal at a corresponding portion of the
oscillometric envelope determined during a previous blood
pressure determination. If these signals differ by some
predetermined amount, it is determined that the patient's
blood pressure has changed significantly and that a new
blood pressure determination needs to be conducted
immediately. These guard mode determinations are made in
addition to the normal blood pressure determinations made at
predetermined intervals typically selected by the user. In
addition, the shape of the oscillometric signal is
quantified during guard mode so that it is possible to
discriminate oscillations on the diastolic side of a
patient's oscillometric envelope from oscillations on the
systolic side of the patient's oscillometric envelope,
thereby preventing a large shift in the oscillometric
envelope from going undetected.

Abstract: A headphone reproducing apparatus creates a virtual
sound. A listener feels as if a sound came from a virtual
sound source that imaginarily exists in a space apart from
the listener. A delay circuit delays a first-channel input
audio signal and a second-channel input audio signal by
predetermined delay times. A low-pass filter changes
frequency characteristics of the first- and second-channel
input signals to predetermined frequency characteristics.
A multiplier changes sound levels of the first- and second-channel
input audio signals to predetermined sound levels.
The delay circuit, low-pass filter, and multiplier are
connected in series to each other. A headphone reproduces
the first- and second-channel input signals processed by
the delay circuit, low-pass filter, and multiplier as the
sound that comes from the virtual sound source.

Abstract: A magnetic conveyor system (110) for transporting test samples in
tubes (34) disposed in a sample rack (33) having a magnetic or magnetically
attractive region is described. The magnetic conveyor system
includes a drive system (116), a magnet (121) coupled to the drive system and
movable in response to the drive system (116) and a tray (38) having a first
surface adapted to receive the sample rack (33). The magnet (121) is spaced
a predetermined distance from the first surface of the tray (38) such
that the magnet (121) provides a magnetic force at the surface of the
tray (38). The magnetic force engages the magnetically attractive
region of the sample rack (33) disposed on the tray (38) to thereby move
the sample rack (33) along the first surface of the tray (38) in response
to movement of the drive system (116). When the tray reaches the end
of the rack it is moved onto a processing queue tray where it is
available for test purposes. A barcode reader (26) reads a bar code
on each test sample as it is placed on the process queue to
identify one or more tests to perform. When all samples have
received the individual tests the rack (33) exits to an output queue
for disposal. When a test must be made on an immediate basis out
of normal processing order a sample rack can be inserted into the
process queue via a priority rack feed. In the indicated manner,
testing can continue without interruption as new racks are added
and completed racks removed.
