Patent EP-0769637-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WEITZENHOF DAVID A
IPC: F16F9/53
Filed: 1996-06-22
Abstract: A vibration damping device for mounting between
two spaced portions of a vehicle for absorbing road forces
exerted on the vehicle. An inner metal cylindrical housing (2)
forms an internal piston chamber and is connected at one
end to one portion of the vehicle, with the outer end of
the rod (12) of a piston (10) which is slidably mounted within the
piston chamber (11), being connected to the other portion of the
vehicle. An outer housing (25) surrounds a portion of the inner
housing and forms a fluid transfer duct or flow channel (37)
between fluid chambers formed on opposite sides of the
piston within the piston chamber. An electrode (52) is mounted
in the fluid duct for applying a voltage across the duct
to affect the viscosity of an electrorheological (ER) fluid
flowing therethrough to increase the damping force of the
device. The electrode includes a plurality of
circumferentially spaced splines and intervening grooves (54,55)
extending longitudinally along the fluid duct. The bottom
portions of the grooves have a decreased electric field
applied thereto than the splines, providing bleed grooves
or leak paths for the ER fluid to decrease the shear-rate
of the fluid. The inner housing may be formed with
elongated projections which extend into the grooves of the
electrode to provide a more uniform electric field along
the fluid duct to control the amount of leakage through the
bleed grooves. A secondary electrode ground may be formed
in the grooves to control the electric field in the bleed
grooves.

Abstract: A metallic tubular housing (40) contains cylindrical
thermal insulation (36), a candle holder (38) for an
oxygen-generating candle (32) and a candle support (52).
A corrosion, reaction and heat resistant cylindrical member
(37) covers an outer surface of the cylindrical thermal
insulation (36), and an annular space (39) is formed
between the cylindrical member (37) and the tubular housing
(40). Oxygen generated by thermal decomposition of the
candle (32), following triggering of an ignition device
(F'), passes through the cylindrical thermal insulation
(36) and an annular gap between the cylindrical thermal
insulation (36) and the cylindrical member (37), and is
supplied to the outside through an oxygen-supply device
(S'). Thorough decomposition of the candle (32) can be
achieved, as can a predetermined quantity or flow rate
pattern of the oxygen, lowering the temperature of the
housing (40) throughout its length.

Title: Low NOx burner
Inventor: CHARLES JOHN G SR
IPC: F23D14/62
Filed: 1996-11-08
Abstract: A porous, ceramic member (10) defines
both the burner and baffle. Gaseous fuel is
supplied under pressure into a chamber (10-4)
and flows through the ceramic member and, in
flowing, causes the aspiration of atmospheric air into the flowing gaseous fuel. The
air-fuel mixture is ignited a short
distance downstream of the chamber and the flame (60)
flows through the ceramic member and emerges from the ceramic member within the
heat exchanger (30). The air mixing with
the gaseous fuel causes turbulence and mixing of
the gas and cools the flame prior to its reaching temperatures associated with the
generation of thermal NO x .

Abstract: A double forward DC-to-DC converter with soft-PWM switching
provides two voltage pulses to the output low-pass filter within
one switching cycle (hence, the name double forward). The double
forward DC to DC converter includes a transformer having a single
primary winding and a two secondary windings. A main switch,
under the control of a PWM control circuit, is connected is series
with the primary winding. An auxiliary switch is coupled across
with the main switch by way of a resonant capacitor. The resonant
capacitor and auxiliary switch are used to automatically reset the
transformer core while the main switch is on back to the voltage
source connected to the transformer primary. A diode and snubber
capacitor is connected across the drain-source terminals for both
the main and auxiliary switches for minimizing switching losses.
The current mirror used in prior art is abandoned in order to
avoid the locked-up mode of operation. 
     The secondary windings of the transformer are connected to a
pair of saturable reactors which, in turn, are connected to
rectifier diodes in order to eliminate the reverse recovery losses
of the rectifier diodes. A freewheeling diode is connected across
the secondary winding and cooperates with the saturable reactors
to maintain the load current to the secondary windings during the
transitions of the main and auxiliary switches.

Abstract: For a transmission having a forward drive train, a reverse drive train and a
starting clutch (5), a control apparatus comprises a clutch control valve (75) for setting a
clutch control pressure to control the engagement of the starting clutch (5) and a reverse
inhibitor valve (63) for opening and closing a line to a reverse drive actuator.
When the clutch control pressure increases to a value above a predetermined
value, the reverse inhibitor valve (63) closes the line to the reverse drive actuator. 
     For a transmission having drive and driven cylinders (14,19) for controlling the
speed ratio set by variable width drive and driven pulleys (11,16) and a starting clutch (5) for
controlling power transmission; a control apparatus comprises a controller (70) for
judging whether or not a vehicle is in a predetermined normal forward driving
mode (a driving condition which does, not require a speed change or a rapid
speed change), a clutch control valve (75) for setting a clutch control pressure to control
the engagement of the starting clutch (5), and a high pressure control valve (47) for
setting a speed-ratio changing pressure which is supplied to the drive and driven
cylinders (14,19). When the vehicle is judged by the controller (70) as being in the predetermined
normal forward driving mode, the high pressure control valve (47) corresponding
to the clutch control pressure sets the speed-ratio changing pressure to a
pressure lower than the pressure set at while the vehicle is not in the predetermined
normal forward driving mode.

Abstract: A speech recognition apparatus includes an
analysis section, multiplexed standard patterns, and a
matching section. The analysis section outputs the
feature of input speech at each time point as the time
series data of a feature vector. The multiplexed
standard patterns are obtained by converting the feature
of standard speaker voices into a plurality of different
feature vectors, and storing the vectors as the time
series data of multiplexed feature vectors. The
matching section calculates a similarity or distance
value, in matching between the feature vector of the
input speech from the analysis section and the time
series data of the plurality of feature vectors as the
multiplexed standard patterns, between a line segment
connecting two points of the multiplexed feature vectors
of the multiplexed standard patterns and the feature
vector of the input speech.

Abstract: A network switch including a plurality of network ports for receiving and
transmitting data, where each port includes at least one statistics register for storing statistics
information, such as Ethernet statistical and configuration information. The switch also
includes a switch manager, which further includes a memory, retrieval logic for detecting a
statistics request signal and for respondingly retrieving the statistics information for storage
in the memory, and response logic for asserting a statistics response signal after the statistics
information is stored. A processor is coupled to the switch manager through a bus, where
the processor asserts the statistics request signal and then detects assertion of the statistics
response signal. Upon detecting the response signal, the processor retrieves the statistics
information from the memory. In this manner, the processor is removed from direct
connection to the statistics registers and free to complete other tasks while the information is
being gathered by the switch manager, thereby increasing the efficiency of the processor and
of the network switch. Each port preferably includes a network interface, a processor port
interface for enabling the switch manager to retrieve the statistical information, and a data
bus interface for network traffic. The switch manager thus includes two separate bus
connections to each of the ports, so that statistical reads do not interfere with network data
packet flow.
