Abstract: A virtual block system is provided in which a section of track is represented by a zone having a plurality of virtual track circuits. Communication between wayside and the vehicle is established within the zone, and may be used to provide the initial position of the vehicle to the carborne equipment. The carborne equipment can then calculate and up-date its position within the zone by using its initial position and sensor information relative to its movement within the zone. The actual position within the zone can be transmitted from the vehicle to the wayside equipment. The wayside equipment converts the actual position within the zone to a virtual track circuit occupancy. The wayside equipment may also use the train length to calculate one or more virtual blocks as being occupied. The wayside unit outputs the occupancy status, occupied or unoccupied, to the wayside interlocking equipment. The wayside equipment generates profile data which can be transmitted to the vehicle.

Abstract: A reference circuit for supplying current to high speed logic elements in an integrated circuit supplies less current when circuit temperature decreases while a supply voltage remains constant. The reference circuit supplies less current when the supply voltage increases while circuit temperature remains constant. A resistance with a temperature coefficient, in some embodiments a negative temperature coefficient, is used to decrease current flow in a first leg of an output mirror when temperature decreases. A feedback circuit is used to decrease current flow in the first leg of the output current mirror when the feedback circuit senses an increase in supply voltage by sensing a voltage change on a common control node of the output current mirror. The reference circuit sees many applications including supplying current to logic gates, input/output buffers, and sense amplifiers.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium is composed of first through fourth magnetic layers laminated in this order in such a way that an exchange coupling exists between any adjacent layers of the first through fourth magnetic layers so that a magnetization direction can be copied, wherein the first magnetic layer is a memory layer, the second magnetic layer is a writing layer, the third magnetic layer is a switching layer, and the fourth magnetic layer is an initializing layer. Further, respective Curie temperatures Tci satisfy an inequation T C3  < Tc i  < Tc 2 , Tc 4  (i = 1, 2, 3, or 4 indicating an ordinal number of the magnetic layers) ; and the second magnetic layer exhibits an in-plane magnetization at room temperature, whereas, exhibits a perpendicular magnetization above a predetermined temperature set between the room temperature and T C3  temperature. With this arrangement, after information is recorded on the memory layer based on the magnetization direction, the interface wall energy can be reduced, and the whole magnetic energy can be made substantially equivalent irrespective of the magnetization condition after recording. As a result, a stable recorded condition of the memory layer can be achieved.

Title: Manual transmission and ignition interlock
Inventor: SMALE RANDALL DAVID
IPC: B60R25/02
Filed: 1995-10-10
Abstract: A manual transmission and ignition interlock is provided for a vehicle having a manual transmission operated by a shift lever (20). A solenoid (74) is movable between positions blocking and unblocking movement of the vehicle ignition (62) to OFF. A latch bar (34) carried by the shift lever (20) is biased to a latched position and can be moved to unlatched position by a pull-up ring (26) on the shift lever (20). The latch bar (34) is cammed downward against the spring (30) bias out of latched position when it is extended through a slot (48) in a latch retainer (46) when the shift lever (20) is moved to REVERSE, and then snaps up to latch the shift lever (20). Another (52) solenoid has a plunger (54) which extends to underlie the latch bar (34) and trap it, thus locking the latched shift lever (20) in REVERSE. In one embodiment, bi-stable solenoids (152, 174) are controlled by a controller (100) that is provided with high and low current inputs from branch circuits (102, 104) that include control switches (114, 116) operated by ignition position. The controller (100) extends the latch solenoid (152) when the shift lever (20) is moved to REVERSE and the ignition (162) is moved to ACCESSORY. This closes a switch (116), causing the controller (100) to retract the ignition solenoid (174) and enable movement to OFF. In another embodiment, a control circuit (66) uses conventional solenoids.
