Title: Section switching process for railway systems with a long stator linear motor
Inventor: FISCHPERER ROLF
IPC: B60M3/04
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE97/01108 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 10, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 10, 1998 PCT Filed Jun. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/47493 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 18, 1997The present invention relates to a method for switching over the current between successive stators of a railway system comprising a track and a vehicle and with a long-stator linear motor. The method according to the present invention proceeds from a conventional double-infeed step-change method. During the switching over of the current from one stator section of a long-stator winding phase to the following one, the section cable, which is assigned to the stator sections to be changed over and is supplied with power from two substations by double infeed, is split up. In this way, the sections to be changed over can be supplied by single infeed by a single substation in each case. It is possible thereby to avoid the unilateral loss of thrust which occurs in the case of conventional step-change methods.

Title: Jam reducing apparatus for use in a coin operated machine
Inventor: DOBBINS BOB M
IPC: G07F1/04
Filed: 1989-04-27
Abstract: Jam reducing apparatus for use in coin operated machines, such as telephones, acts to prevent the insertion of coins when the entryway is obstructed by foreign matter, assists in dislodging jammed coins and discourages vandals. The apparatus comprises a coin entryway which includes an inclined surface as part of a flared end of a lid. An entry slot in an entrance blocker, which is an integral part of the lid, is in substantial alignment with the coin insert slot of the front panel of the machine in normal operation. The lid is connected to a torsion spring and is associated with a coin reject lever. The inclined surface of the entryway lies opposite the blocker slot and is angled toward an exit of the coin entryway, which directs a coin into the machine. In normal use, inserted coins pass through the entryway and are directed into a coin mechanism for coin testing. Foreign matter inserted into the machine hits the inclined surface and exerts a camming force on the lid, rotating the lid about a torsion spring. This moves the coin entry slot and the blocker slot out of substantial alignment, preventing the insertion of additional foreign matter or another coin. Removal of the foreign matter allows the lid to return to its normal operating position under the force of the spring.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a process for detecting, assessing, grading and diagnosing heart conditions in human beings. The system includes a device for providing or generating an acoustic blood flow signal and a signal representative of the electrical activity of a subject's heart. The device for providing the acoustic blood flow (MCG) signal may be a transducer or microphone attached to the patient, or in the alternative, an acoustic signal stored in a storage device. The device for providing the electrical activity (ECG) signal may be an electrocardiogram device attached to the subject or a stored ECG signal. The ECG signal is conditioned in a conditioning circuit to provide a timing or calibration signal having QRS spikes at the onset of each systolic portion of a heart cycle. The MCG signal passes through its own conditioning circuit to filter out unwanted noise and to amplify low frequency sounds. The timing signal and the MCG signal are fed into a microprocessor wherein the MCG signal is converted in a spectral pattern of heart sounds and matched with the timing signal. The output from the microprocessor is a combined, real time MCG pattern/ECG wave signal which may be displayed on a video monitor, which may be put into hard copy form, and/or which may be stored on a storage device.
