Abstract: An electronic position sensor assembly and engine control system (10) in which two sensing elements (13, 14) in a dual sensor (12) provide separate, independent position signals (A, B) related to multi-cylinder engine cycle position by sensing the angular position of a engine-rotated slotted wheel (11). The sensing elements provide identical sensing signals shifted from each other by a predetermined angular amount (d). In response to the simultaneous providing of a pulse by both sensing elements, a first reference signal (at 22) identifying a reference cylinder is provided for controlling electronic distribution of spark timing and/or fuel injection signals to engine cylinders (17-20). In response to a selected one of the sensing elements producing a pulse which has a predetermined longer duration than a preceding produced pulse, a second reference signal (after 50) is produced indicative of top-dead center engine cylinder cycle position for one of the cylinders. In response to detecting a fault in the position signal produced by the one selected sensing element, a switch (27) selects the other of the sensing elements for utilization in producing the second reference signal, and a substitute reference signal circuit (40) provides a substitute first reference signal. A less expensive and more reliable engine position sensor assembly and engine control system is provided since proper system operation is maintained despite a fault in one of the position signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Afin de prévenir tout brouillage pouvant être causé par une station mobile effectuant des communications au moyen d'une forte énergie électrique, il est nécessaire d'évaluer si une station de base radio constituant la source de brouillage se trouve dans une macrocellule ou dans une microcellule. Cette station de base ajoute la valeur de la puissance d'émission du canal de compte-rendu aval afin de rendre compte d'informations. Une station de base nouvellement établie (C) reçoit une bande de fréquences en aval, mesure le niveau de réception dudit canal de compte-rendu, et acquiert la valeur de la puissance d'émission. Si cette valeur de puissance d'émission est élevée, la valeur de seuil est alors abaissée (THRb), mais si la valeur de puissance d'émission est faible, cette valeur de seuil est augmentée (THRa). En outre, si le niveau de réception (L) est inférieur à ladite valeur de seuil, on considère que le canal est susceptible d'être utilisé. On calcule l'affaiblissement de propagation en fonction du niveau de réception dudit canal de compte-rendu et de la valeur de puissance d'émission acquise; si cet affaiblissement de propagation est inférieur à une certaine valeur et le niveau de réception inférieur à ladite valeur de seuil, on considère que le canal est susceptible d'être utilisé.

Abstract: Formed constituents of a quiescent anticoagulated whole blood or other biologic fluid sample are optically analyzed by an optical scanning instrument. The sample is contained in a sample chamber that has a varying through plane thickness. The thickness of any fields of view in the blood sample which contain plasma lacunae can be calculated by the instrument as a function of signal emission strength emanating from the colored plasma in the lacunae. The signal emissions can be the result of sample fluorescence or can be the result of signal density emanating from the sample. Particle volumes can be measured as a function of signal emission suppression which is caused by formed particles in the blood sample. The scanning instrument is calibrated by means of the inclusion of a calibration area associated with the chamber which calibration area includes a portion which receives a known depth of colored plasma from the blood sample, and which calibration area also includes a colorant-emission-suppressing feature which feature has a known volume. The scanning instrument scans the known depth portion of the calibration area to determine what degree of signal emission strength correlates to the known depth, and the scanning instrument also scans the colorant-emission-suppressing feature to determine what degree of signal suppression correlates to the known volume of the aforesaid feature. The instrument stores the information gained from the calibration area and then proceeds to analyze the blood sample for formed constituent volumes and constituent counts per unit of the blood sample.
