IPC: H04B10/58

Abstract: An oscillator 102 outputs an additional signal with a frequency which is
higher than a frequency corresponding to a bandwidth of a frequency band
allotted to an electrical signal to be transmitted and lower than a half of a lowest
frequency of a frequency band allotted to the electrical signal to be transmitted.
Thereby, if a second order intermodulation distortion between the additional
signal and the electrical signal to be transmitted occurs, a frequency where
distortion occurs is outside the all frequency bands allotted to the electrical
signal to be transmitted, and the occurring second order intermodulation
distortion does not affect the electrical signal to be transmitted. Further, if the
second order intermodulation distortion of the additional signal occurs, the
frequency where distortion occurs is outside the all frequency band allotted to
the electrical signal to be transmitted, and the occurring second order
intermodulation distortion does not affect the electrical signal to be transmitted.
Not only noise and distortions caused by reflected optical signal but also OBI
noise can be reduced by using the additional signal.

Abstract: A low-voltage electromagnetic riveter (LVEMR) including two opposed rivet guns (70, 72) for upsetting rivets during the assembly of structural parts is disclosed. Variable capacitor banks (64, 65 or 64', 65') are discharged to provide a variable current pulse which flows through a driver coil (131) and a mass-mounted coil (135) of each rivet gun (70, 72). Preferably, the mating faces of the coils are contoured to assist in the alignment of the coils. The driver coils are affixed to the ends of drivers (125) that drive rivet dies (121) into the ends of a rivet (75) to be upset. The LVEMR is controlled such that the net magnetic forces generated between the two pairs of coils actuate the rivet guns (70, 72) so that one end of the rivet is impacted slightly before the other end. The delay is controlled by a delay generator (44). Further, rapid-acting ground fault detection circuits (52 and 53) cause a power shutdown and capacitor bank discharge in the event of a ground fault. Excessive capacitor bank voltage or rivet gun temperatures also can cause a power shutdown and capacitor bank discharge.

Abstract: An interlock mechanism for a vehicle having a sliding
door (12) and a fuel filler door (16) on the same side of
the vehicle has three positions: a first, neutral position
in which either the sliding door (12) or the filler door
(16) can be opened, a second position in which the sliding
door (12) is open and the filler door (16) is prevented from
opening, and a third position in which the filler door (16)
is open and the sliding door (12) is prevented from opening.
The interlock mechanism has a sliding door latch, a filler
door latch (64), and a cable (60) between the two. The
sliding door latch has a striker (42) on a rear edge of the
sliding door (12) to interact with a cam (24) which locks
the filler door (16) closed when the sliding door (12) is
moved to an open position and allows the filler door (16) to
open when the sliding door (12) is in a closed position.
The cable (60) is connected to the filler door latch (64)
and is prevented from movement by the cam (24) when the
sliding door (12) is open, but is allowed to move when the
sliding door (12) is shut. When the filler door (16) is
opened, the-filler door latch (64) pulls the cable (60)
which moves a pin (34) to a position preventing the cam (24)
from rotating and thus stopping the sliding door (12) from
opening.
