Patent EP-1175041-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PROSCH KENT D
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-06-26
Abstract: A method for configuring a computer network that includes a full
duplex bi-directional first port and an initiator that can issue a request
for the first port to assume a state. The first port, when in a first
state, is able to bi-directionally communicate with a full duplex
bi-directional second port, and when in a second state, is coupled to
itself by having an output thereof coupled to an input thereof. The method
comprises inhibiting the initiator from issuing the request, sending data
to the initiator describing a desired state of the first port, and enabling
the initiator to issue the request for the first port to assume the desired
state.

Abstract: A spring applied parking brake assembly for a railroad vehicle
braking system is provided for an automatic application of the
parking brake in the absence of an air source. The spring applied
parking brake assembly comprises a cylindrical casing containing a
piston assembly. The piston assembly is mounted for longitudinal
movement within the casing upon the application and/or removal of
pneumatic pressure to the piston assembly. The piston assembly is
associated with a force transfer lever of the braking system so as to
apply a force to this force transfer lever upon longitudinal movement
of the piston assembly. At least one spring member is provided
within the cylindrical casing. This spring member applies a constant
force to the piston assembly such that longitudinal movement of the
piston assembly automatically occurs upon removal of pneumatic
pressure to the braking system, causing the piston assembly to
retract within the casing and the force transfer lever to rotate in a
direction to initiate a brake application. Thus, once the train is
removed from the train consist and the air supply for the pneumatic
braking system has been disconnected, the brakes of the train are
automatically applied. A manual quick release system is also
provided which allows the parking brake to be released during
shunting operations or anytime that it is desirable to move the
vehicle in the absence of air.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical
attenuator comprising first and second attenuator units
cascaded on an optical path, and a control circuit
connected to the first and second attenuator units. Each
of the first and second attenuator units includes a
Faraday rotator provided on the optical path. The
Faraday rotator generates a Faraday rotation angle given
as a function of wavelength. Each of the first and
second attenuator units further includes polarizing unit
for generating an attenuation determined by the Faraday
rotation angle on the optical path. The control circuit,
for example, controls the Faraday rotation angle in each
of the first and second attenuator units so that a
wavelength characteristic of attenuation in the first
attenuator unit is substantially canceled by a wavelength
characteristic of attenuation in the second attenuator
unit. With this configuration, although each Faraday
rotator generates a Faraday rotation angle given as a
function of wavelength, a wavelength characteristic of
total attenuation is substantially flattened by the
operation of the control circuit.

Abstract: An improved fire alarm system capable of reliably detecting the presence of
fire caused by different sources. The fire alarm system detects a smoke density
(S) as well as a temperature difference (ΔT) within a predetermined time interval,
and has primary criteria of
   (i) whether the smoke density (S) exceeds a smoke threshold [e.g.,
S>5 %/m];   (ii) whether the temperature difference (ΔT) exceeds a temperature
difference threshold [e.g., ΔT≧18 C]; and   (iii) whether a combination of S and ΔT satisfies an inequality [e.g. 2S + ΔT
≧12] which is based upon a decreasing function of ΔT with an increase of S.
The detected smoke density and the temperature difference are examined with
reference to the primary criteria so as to provide a fire warning signal indicating a
possible fire presence when anyone of the above primary criteria is satisfied.

Abstract: A fail-safe mechanism of an air induction control apparatus
for automotive engines is provided which is designed to hold a
throttle valve at a middle position when a valve actuator has failed to
move the throttle valve. The fail-safe mechanism includes a middle
position hold stopper, an opener lever connected to the throttle shaft,
and a first and a second coil spring. The first coil spring works to
exert a first spring pressure on the opener member in a first
rotational direction in which the throttle valve is rotated from a fully
opened position to the middle position. The first coil spring is urged
at an end thereof into constant engagement with the middle position
hold stopper to hold the opener member from rotating in a second
rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. The
second coil spring has a first and a second end between which the
opener member extends. The first end abuts against the middle
position hold stopper. The second end abuts against the opener
member so as to exert a second spring pressure on the opener
member in the second rotational direction to nip the opener member
between the second end of the second coil spring and the end of the
first coil spring elastically through the first and second spring
pressures, thereby holding the throttle valve at the middle position.
