Title: Rotation viscometer without special motor suspension - has motor and rotor coupled through torque measuring coupling
IPC: G01N11/14
Filed: 1972-11-27
Abstract: The rotation viscometer has a liquid container into which dips a measuring rotor driven by a synchronous motor so that the viscosity can be determined from an elastic torque balance which is arranged as a coupling between the driving shaft of the motor and the measuring rotor has a pair of coaxial coupling discs coupled elastically by a torsion spring. A fixed angular sensor generates an electrical output signal which is modulated as a function of the instantaneous relative angle of the two discs of the coupling. This avoids the need for a special suspension of the driving motor.

Title: System for detection of asynchronous packet rates and maintenance of maximum theoretical packet rate
Inventor: CREEDON TADHG
IPC: H04L7/02
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A system for transferring a data stream comprising data packets separated by non-packet words from a first clock domain to a second clock domain includes an elasticity buffer into which the data stream is written in a cyclic sequence under the control of the clock frequency in the first clock domain and from which the data stream is read out in a cyclic sequence under the control of the clock frequency in the second domain. The two sequences are monitored to provide an anticipatory signal indicating that the reading sequence approaches proximity to the writing sequence. A non-packet word is inserted into the data stream in the first domain. In the second clock domain the existence of the inserted non-packet word is detected and the buffer is caused to advance the reading cycle thereby to discard the said inserted non-packet word.

Title: Vehicle brakes traction control for increasing engine output torque
Inventor: FAWKES PAUL ANTONY
IPC: B60W10/18
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: For a vehicle having a driven axle 11 with a differential 17 operable between wheels 12,13 at the two ends of the axle 11, a brakes traction control system includes several wheel speed sensors 14 to sense the rotational speed of said wheels, an engine torque demand or throttle opening sensor 21, an engine torque output monitor 22, and a programmable brake system controller 18. In the event of a wheel spinning, the controller 18 applies one of the vehicle brakes 15, 16 to equalise the rotational speed of the wheels and slow the engine speed only if such an application will increase engine torque output towards a maximum torque output for the sensed torque demand. Thus maximum torque may be transferred to the other wheel, and engine stall or vehicle immobilisation is prevented. If the maximum torque is available over a range of engine speeds, a target engine speed giving the maximum torque value is chosen in dependence on the rate of change of the throttle opening.
