Abstract: Telescopic ball bar 24 has a male member provided by a sphere 22 at one end and a female member provided by a pair of forks 30 at the other. The ball bar is attached to the spindle 10 of a machine tool by a universal pivotal coupling between the sphere 22 and a magnetic socket 14 retained on the spindle 10. The ball bar 24 is attached to the table by a further universal pivotal coupling between a sphere 28 retained on the table 12 in a clamping device 40, and the forks 30. In use, the spindle is operated to move in a circular path about a centre defined by the centre of the sphere 28. Any deviation of the spindle movement from such a circular path will be detected by a transducer 36, provided in the bar 24, which bears against the surface of the sphere 28. The position of the centre of the sphere 28 is determined by bringing the sphere 28 into engagement with the socket 14, and measuring the position of the spindle 10 at that point. Easy engagement between the sphere 28 and the socket 14 is facilitated by the clamping device 40, which enables the sphere 28 to move relative to the table to engage the socket 14. Once the sphere 28 has engaged the socket 14 (and the position of its centre has been measured by measuring the position of the spindle 10), the sphere 28 may be clamped rigidly relative to the table 12 for a calibration operation.

Abstract: A pressure transducer circuit has a bridge arrangement of piezoresistors R3, R4, R5, R6 connected to a diaphragm sensitive to a pressure for monitoring. The bridge output passes to preamplifier 20 associated with an attenuation network 30 and compensation cicuitry 46. Temperature sensitive resistors R19, R24 within the compensation circuit 46 are produced simultaneously in the same manufacturing step as the bridge piezoresistors in the same semiconductor layer. Trimmable resistors in the transducer circuit are adjusted during calibration stage to compensate for temperature and component nonlinearity and eliminate the necessity of thermistors.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing remote impact testing for generator stator wedges and ripple springs. An improved low profile carriage is utilized for correlating wedge displacement data with the force required to displace the wedge. A calibrated test stand, in which exemplary wedges are placed under a known loading via a hydraulic load cell, provides means for generating calibration curve sets. From the graphed force-displacement curves generated from wedges placed under a known loading, force and displacement data generated during actual stator testing can be analyzed to measure the tightness of looseness of stator wedges, coils and ripple springs. In the preferred embodiment of the low profile carriage of the present invention, a capacitive sensor is used to directly measure the displacement or vibration of stator wedges as a result of being struck by an impact hammer with a known force.

Abstract: A method for operating a thermal ink jet printer including a printhead having ink firing heater resistors responsive to pulses provided to the printhead. A sequence of pulse bursts of respective increasing or decreasing pulse energies that span a predetermined pulse energy range is applied to the printhead, each pulse burst comprised of a plurality of pulses having a pulse energy that is associated with such pulse burst and is constant for all pulses in such burst, and each burst having a sufficient number of pulses to allow the printhead to achieve a steady state operating temperature at the pulse energy of the pulse burst. A steady state operating temperature sample is determined for each of the sequence of pulses bursts of different pulse energies to produce a set of temperature samples respectively associated with the increasing pulse energies, and a turn on pulse energy is determined from the temperature samples. The thermal ink jet printhead is then operated with a pulse energy that is greater than the turn on pulse energy and in a range that provides a desired print quality while avoiding premature failure of the heater resistors.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling recording and reproduction in a video cassette tape recorder capable of, in a recording mode, separating specific data for speed-varied reproduction from compressed digital video signals, recording them on designated tracks, recording position information of the designated tracks on a control track by an index head or recording position information of recording position-synchronized blocks at the starting portions of the designated tracks recorded with the specific data, and in a speed-varied reproduction mode, controlling a capstan servo speed so as to maintain the travel of a magnetic tape at a normal speed and periodically or non-periodically accelerate or decelerate it where specific data for varied-speed have been recorded periodically or non-periodically on predetermined portions of tracks, thereby making heads travel repeatedly at the normal speed and the high speed and thereby detect continuously the specific tracks for varied-speed. A repeatability of reproduced video at a varied speed is obtained without any deterioration in picture quality, because of recording of specific data for speed-varied reproduction and continuous detection of the specific data in the speed-varied reproduction.

Abstract: A modulator for reincreasing brake pressure during antilock control which is small in size, simple in structure and low in cost, and which can prevent kickbacks to the brake peal (2) and the transmission of pump pulsation to the brake pedal (2). This modulator has a flow restriction valve (9) adapted to check fluid flow from a pump (10) toward a master cylinder (1) if the discharge pressure of the pump (10) becomes higher by a predetermined value than the fluid pressure in a wheel brake (3). It further includes a piston (20) adapted to hold the valve body (12a) of the pump discharge valve (12) or the valve body (11a) of the pump intake valve (11) in the open position if the pump discharge pressure exceeds the master cylinder pressure (or the wheel brake pressure) by a predetermined value. With this arrangement, while there is no need to supply brake fluid from the pump (10), or if an excessive brake fluid is supplied from the pump (10), the pump (10) automatically stops discharging brake fluid. This prevents the kickback and reduces the amount of electric power consumed by the pump driving motor.

Abstract: A power element driving circuit is provided with an abnormality detecting circuit which detects an occurrence of abnormality in an IGBT (power element) or a short-circuit load based on a collector voltage of the IGBT, and controls a gate voltage control circuit so as to gradually reduce a gate voltage of the IGBT. According to the described arrangement, the IGBT can be protected from breakdown caused by short-circuit current increased by itself due to an inverse current from the load. Moreover, since an occurrence of abnormality in the IGBT is detected after starting up the IGBT, the rise time for the IGBT can be reduced, thereby preventing the thermal breakdown or power loss which may occur when a long rise time is required.

Abstract: A set of I/O indexed configuration registers are provided within a real time clock circuit of a computer system to allow the storage of the day, month and century for an alarm activation event. The I/O indexed configuration registers that store the alarm year, the alarm month, and the alarm day information are shadowed with respect to the I/O indexed configuration registers that store the current year, month, and day information for the real time clock circuit. An additional configuration register mapped within the configuration space of the computer system is provided that stores a bit that controls whether the configuration registers for the current year, month, and day will be accessed during an I/O cycle to a predetermined address of the indexed configuration registers, or whether the configuration registers for the alarm year, alarm month, and alarm day will be accessed during an I/O cycle to the predetermined address. In accordance with the improved real time clock alarm, system software is not required to track the year, day, and month associated with a desired alarm event. In addition, additional I/O space and index space is not occupied as a result of the additional indexed configuration registers. Accordingly, broad system compatibility is maintained.
