Abstract: A rail-tie fastening assembly for fastening a rail to a concrete tie comprising a rail seat assembly and a rail anchor. The rail seat assembly includes a rail seat basin and a rail seat wherein the rail seat is disposed in the rail seat basin and bonded thereto with an elastomeric material having a void formed therein between the bottom of the rail seat and the bottom of the rail seat basin so as to produce a shear spring which transfers applied vertical load from the rail to the tie. The rail seat assembly is embedded in the tie and the rail anchor is adapted to engage a portion of the rail and to interlock with the rail seat assembly so as to cooperate with the rail seat assembly to fasten the rail to the tie.

Abstract: An opto-electronic scale reading apparatus includes a reflective scale (410) relative to which a readhead is movable. The readhead includes a light source in the form of the emission end of an optical fibre (300), which directs light via collimating lens (420), beam splitter (310), and deflecting optics (312,314) onto the scale. The light reflected from the scale passes through an index grating (416) to generate a series of spatial fringes in the plane of an analyser (418). The analyser comprises a series of elongate light transmitting colour filters, extending substantially parallel to the fringes and arranged in a repeating pattern (e.g. red, blue, green, red, blue .....); like-coloured elements are separated by a distance corresponding to an integer multiple of the fringe pitch. The array (418) encodes the fringes into a plurality of phase-shifted signals, which pass through the beam splitter (310), lens (420) and back along fibre (300). A plurality of corresponding colour filters, provided at the other end of the fibre (300) deflect the relevant colour light onto individual photodetectors thereby to produce a plurality of cyclically modulating phase-shifted electrical signals, from which the relative displacement of the readhead and scale may be determined. Where the fibre is of plastics material the light is preferably in the infra-red spectrum to produce attenuation.

Abstract: A light transmittance adjusting apparatus (1) for adjusting a windowpane (3) of an automobile or a building has a fixed member (7) and a movable member (6) arranged in parallel with each other and having a plurality of light interception sections (27) and light transmission sections (28) formed thereon alternately. The vertical position of the movable member are changed electrostatically relative to the fixed member to adjust the light transmittance of the window-pane. Each light interception section has a semi-interception region (27b), the light transmittance of which decreases gradually from a center region thereof toward the adjacent light transmission section. The semi-interception region of the light interception section of a light interception plate of the fixed member overlap the semi-interception region of the light interception section of a light interception plate of the movable member, thus accomplishing an optical interception completely.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission is switched between the low and high modes by changing the clutch engagement state from one to another. A sensor shoe which moves in an associated manner with a movable sheave of a primary pulley is provided and a dent and a protrusion are formed at different locations on the sensor shoe. In addition, dents are formed on a spool of a low-high control valve. An interlock rod is provided between the sensor shoe and the low-high control valve. In a predetermined pulley-ratio region in the low and high modes, for example, on a low pulley-ratio side, the movable sheave moves to an O/D side and a base end of the interlock rod strikes on the protrusion of the sensor shoe while another end thereof is engaged with either of the dents, mechanically locking the low-high control valve. In this way, switching operation between the low and high modes due to selective engagement of the low and high clutches can be eliminated.

Abstract: Lipid is determined quantitatively by treating a sample with a surfactant in an aqueous medium to obtain a liquid sample dispersion, then reacting the dispersion with a reagent containing cupric ion and bicinchoninic acid, and measuring a colored state developed by complex formation of bicinchoninic acid with cuprous ion formed from cupric ion in the presence of lipid. This method can be effectively applied to determination of amphiphilic lipid having a tendency of gathering in an aqueous medium. Further, two different species interfering with each other in quantitative determination thereof are determined respectively by conducting two different determination methods on the same sample followed by calculation using the values obtained.

Abstract: A device for speed control of an electronically commutated permanent magnet synchronous motor uses Hall sensors to measure the rotor angle. A control unit evaluates the sensor signals and generates output signals for triggering semiconductors that control the winding currents. The control unit (7) determines the flanks of the three Hall sensor signals, and decides from them in which angle sector the rotor is and from the rotor speed determines an additional signal for the rotor position. From the additional signal and the sector signal, a pulse width-modulated (PWM) output signal is generated, the pulse width being continuously matched to the e.m.f waveform of the motor. The phase-shift between motor voltage and current is estimated.

Abstract: A cryptographic key recovery system generates a cryptographic key for use by a pair of communicating parties while simultaneously providing for its recovery using one or more key recover agents. A plurality of m-bit shared key parts (P, Q) are generated which are shared with respective key recovery agents, while an n-bit nonshared key part (R) is generated that is not shared with any key recovery agent. The shared key parts (P, Q) are combined to generate an m-bit value which is concatenated with the nonshared key part (R) to generate an (m + n) -bit value from which an encryption key is generated. The cryptographic system has the effective work factor of an n-bit key to all of the key recovery agents acting in concert, but has the effective work factor of an (m + n) -bit to any other combination of third parties. The quantity n is selected to make authorized key recovery feasible, but not so trivial as to permit routine decryption of intercepted communications, while the quantity m is selected to make decryption by unauthorized third parties infeasible. Means are provided for verifying that the shared key parts have been shared with the key recovery agents before permitting encrypted communications using the thus generated key.
