Abstract: A calcar trial includes a stem having a proximal end and a distal end, and a
body. The body is engaged with the stem near the proximal end of the stem and is
slidable with respect to the stem. A locking mechanism inhibits movement of the
body with respect to the stem when desired. A collar extends radially outward
from the stem to surround a portion of the body. The body and stem are
configured so that the diameter of the calcar trial at a point between the collar and
the distal end of the stem increases as the body is moved toward the distal end of
the stem and decreases as the body is moved away from the distal end of the stem.
The proximal end of the stem can include opposed notches that are egagable by a
forked tool. A curved distal stem portion can be secured to the distal end of the
stem.

Abstract: A mechanism for dependably tracking network activity
such as web page activity among terminals
[104A..104K...104N] such as a group of browsers. The
terminals retrieve pages [204...214...224] from an HTTP
server [152], each of the pages having embedded information
[208] such as an applet. In response to the page activity
(such as loading, unloading or changing data [Fig12A, Fig
12B]) performed at a terminal the respective applet [124,
126, 128] reports the activity (together with the page URL)
to a server [144] which in turn stores it in a database
[148]. Synchronization between pages at different terminals
is provided by appropriate embedded information, such as a
data tracking and synchronizing applet [126], which
identifies activities and forwards details of the activities
via the terminal to a tracking server for database storage
and transmission to other participating terminals as
required. A session [Fig.6] can be created for an
individual terminal or a group of terminals and terminal
activity information held as part of the session information
for access as required by other terminals in or joining the
session. one of the terminals may be an administrative
terminal.

Abstract: A rotor for an electrical machine according to one
embodiment of the present invention includes first and
second individual slip rings (18,20) mounted on a rotor
shaft (16). A first end of a coil wire (23) for the rotor
passes through a first axial passage (74) in the first slip
ring (18) and is terminated to conductive material (60,68)
on an axial end of that slip ring. The other end of the
coil wire passes through a second axial passage (76) in the
first slip ring (18) and through an axial passage in the
second slip ring (20) and is terminated to conductive
material on an axial end of the second slip ring (20). The
axial passage of the first slip ring (18) is electrically
insulated from the conductive material (60,68) of that slip
ring, so the wire end does not inadvertently short-circuit
to the conductive material. Also, the first and second slip
rings (18,20) are each designed to cooperate in providing a
gap therebetween which provides space to accommodate the
termination of the first wire end onto the axial end of the
first slip ring.

Abstract: An antiskid brake controller (20) utilizes measured wheel speed in order to
provide brake control for a vehicle such as an aircraft. The controller (20) estimates
the speed of the vehicle via approximation based on the measured wheel speed and
a model of the mu-slip ratio curve representing the wheel to running surface friction
characteristics. The controller (20) then predicts the slip ratio based on the
measured wheel speed and estimated vehicle speed. The difference between the
predicted slip ratio and a predefined desired slip ratio is used to drive a modified
integral controller segment (56) to achieve maximum obtainable friction. In another
embodiment, the controller (20) measures and integrates the applied braking torque
in order to estimate the vehicle speed. The estimated vehicle speed is again
combined with the measured wheel speed to determine an estimated slip ratio. The
controller (20) compares the estimated slip ratio with a predefined desired slip ratio
which again drives a modified integral controller (56).
