Abstract: Ce dispositif d'application comporte au moins un poussoir (30) mobile selon un axe du poussoir (C), afin d'appliquer une mâchoire de frein contre un disque de frein, et au moins un excentrique (24) tournant autour d'un axe transversal (B). Sur l'excentrique (24) se trouve un organe de roulement (28) qui transmet les forces de man÷uvre sur le poussoir (30). Pour compenser l'usure de la garniture, un élément de réglage (70) tourne autour d'un axe de réglage (D) qui forme un angle par rapport à l'axe transversal (B). Sur l'excentrique (24), une goupille (76) coopère avec l'élément de réglage (70) en transmettant le couple pour effectuer un rattrapage et compenser l'usure de la garniture. La goupille (76) fait partie intégrante d'un dispositif de retenue (76, 98) qui empêche l'organe de roulement (28) de se déplacer de façon inadmissible dans le sens de l'axe transversal (B) par rapport à l'excentrique (24).

Une des voies de courant est en forme de U. La branche opposée à la voie de contre-courant (4) est interrompue afin de former deux pôles intérieurs (1, 2) et sert de support mécanique de la bobine d'inductance (5) qui contourne électriquement l'interruption, alors que l'autre branche (3), qui elle est adjacente à la voie de contre-courant (4), forme avec la voie de contre-courant (4) les broches (6, 7) du connecteur à fiches qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur. Les broches (6, 7) sont façonnées par pliage des extrémités en T ou en fourche des voies de courant (3, 4). La bobine d'inductance (5) est montée dans un boîtier et est pourvue de raccordements électriques directement connectables aux pôles intérieurs (1, 2).

Abstract: Our method and system for enumerating a minimal number of test cases for systems with interacting elements operates relationships between the elements and the number of characteristics evaluated for each element. In our inventive method as executed in a computer system, the user enters values for each of the elements and then defines relationships between the elements. Our method then enumerates a table of test cases for each relationship between elements using deterministic procedures, when applicable, and random procedures when the deterministic procedures are not applicable. After a table of test cases is generated for each of the relation, our inventive method combines relationships into a single table of test cases.

Abstract: A fluorescence sensor for detecting the presence and amount of an analyte. The fluorescence sensor has a photodetector, a high pass filter located adjacent the photodetector, and a glass layer located adjacent the high pass filter. An indicator layer is located adjacent the glass layer and a light emitting diode is embedded in the indicator layer. The indicator layer has indicator molecules that provide a fluorescent emission as a result of light from the light emitting diode. The indicator layer also allows an analyte to diffuse into it and the presence of the analyte reduces the amount of light emitted from the indicator molecules that passes through the glass layer and the high pass filter and is incident upon the photodetector. Since the amount of current from the photodetector depends upon the incident light, this is used to detect the presence and amount of the analyte. In one embodiment a waveguide is also present.

Abstract: The invention relates to a locking device for a selector lever (5) for an automatic gearbox, the locking device acting upon a transmission member situated between the selector lever and the automatic gearbox. The selector lever (5) is connected in a first gear-shift gate (12) to the transmission member, and the locking device then acts upon the transmission member and secures it in its current position when the selector lever has left the first gear-shift gate (12) and is no longer connected to the transmission member. In addition, a longitudinal locking means (10), which holds the selector lever in pre-set positions during its longitudinal movement in the first gear-shift gate (12), is provided on the selector lever (5). In order to provide a locking device which is inexpensive in design and simple to assemble, it is proposed that the locking device and the longitudinal locking means (10) interact with each other when the selector lever (5) is in the first gear-shift gate (12). In this way, the locking device is now unlocked by way of the longitudinal locking means, so that the transmission device for the automatic gearbox is released only when the selector lever is moved.

Abstract: A general purpose interface is provided to a file system of a multimedia server for improving datastream throughput by avoiding data copying and context switching. The file system includes an export registration service providing function pointers to the file system's implementation of a predefined set of zero copy interfaces. These interfaces include an initialization service to set up necessary data structures and to place use counts on objects to prevent them from being removed while zero copy operations are in progress. A termination service in the zero copy interfaces cleans up data structures and removes use counts. Additional services validate that a specified file is suitable for zero copy operations, find and record file attributes needed to later acquire buffers at interrupt level. A data structure is defined to hold these attributes for subsequent calls. Another service locks a buffer at an interrupt level and returns the amount of data present, and provides addressability to the buffer in another address space context. A data structure holds these buffer attributes for subsequent calls. A service is additionally provided to unlock the buffer at interrupt level. Finally, a service provides information on changes to the access pattern of the file such as would be needed to support VCR functions. A hash chain emplyoing a singly linked list updated atomically allows for safe buffer lookups at interrupt level. Compare-and-swap locking faciliates this. A mailbox interface useful at interrupt leve provides prefetch and release information to the daemon. In case of a lock collision or where the buffer is not available, the buffer is acquired in a process context. <IMAGE>
