Abstract: A method of creating registration signature data for
a computerized signature collation scheme. A plurality of
signature data sets are averaged in order to calculate a
candidate set of registration signature data. The candidate
set of registration signature data is collated with each
signature data set. When no unacceptable discrepancy is
found as a result of collation between the candidate set of
registration signature data and the signature data sets,
the candidate set of registration signature data is treated
as registration signature data.

Abstract: A transmission for a four-wheel drive vehicle having a multi-speed
geartrain (42) and power transfer mechanism (44) incorporated into a common housing
assembly (45). The multi-speed geartrain includes a input shaft (46), a mainshaft (48), and a
plurality of constant-mesh gearsets (50,52,54) arranged for selectively coupling the mainshaft (48)
to the input shaft (46) for driven rotation at various speed ratios. The mainshaft (48) can be
selectively coupled to the power transfer mechanism (44) for establishing two alternative
power transmission routes. In particular, a synchronized range shift mechanism (58) is
provided for establishing a high-range transmission route and a low-range
transmission route from the mainshaft (48) to a primary (rear) driveline (38,14) to define a two-wheel
drive mode. A portion of the drive torque delivered to the primary driveline (38,14) can be
transferred automatically through a transfer clutch (60) to the secondary driveline (32,12) to
establish an on-demand four-wheel drive mode. As an option, a mode clutch can
be provided for permitting the secondary driveline (32,12) to be locked to the primary
driveline (38,14) for establishing a part-time four-wheel drive mode.

Abstract: A female metal terminal comprises a terminal body having
a contact portion for contact with a tab of a male metal
terminal, a pressing member having a spring member for
pressing the tab against the contact portion, said spring
member being mounted on the terminal body, and a movement
limitation portion for limiting the movement of said tab
against the bias of said spring member. A pair of front and
rear movement limitation portions are formed on an upper wall
of the terminal body in such a manner that a contact portion
of the spring member for contact with the tab is disposed
between the two movement limitation portions. The tab is
inserted into a space between the spring member and the
contact portion, and in this condition, even when a tilting
force acts on the tab in an upward or a downward direction,
the movement of the tab against the bias of the spring member
is prevented by the movement limitation portion, so that the
proper condition of contact between the tab and the contact
portion is maintained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for applying a fluid
to a plurality of locations on a non-planar substrate (26) .
The apparatus includes a movable base (28) and an array of
pins (30) connected to the base (24). Each pin (30) has a
distal end (32) which is vertically movable with respect to
the base (24) independently of the rest of the array of
pins. Each distal end (32) is adapted to transfer fluid to
a location on the substrate (26) by having a greater
affinity for the fluid than the fluid has for itself and a
lesser affinity for the fluid than the fluid has for the
substrate. Accordingly, the distal ends (32) may be dipped
in the fluid and moved into contact with the substrate (26)
such that the distal ends may collapse toward the base (28)
as the distal ends (32) engage the substrate (26) to
facilitate further movement of the base toward the substrate

Abstract: An emergency control system for selectively activating and deactivating an apparatus.
The system includes a fiber optic transmitter for emitting radiation and a fiber optic receiver for
receiving and measuring a wavelength and an intensity of the radiation. A manually-operated
fiber optic switch is placed in optical communication with the fiber optic transmitter and the fiber
optic receiver. In operation, the switch is selectively actuated, thereby selectively opening and
closing a fiber optic circuit defined by the transmitter, receiver, and the switch. The system
further includes a relay controller in communication with the fiber optic receiver, such that the
relay controller is actuated when the fiber optic receiver receives a predetermined wavelength
and intensity of radiation from the transmitter. When the relay controller is actuated, it allows a
signal to pass through the relay to a point of use. In this manner, the operation of the fiber optic
switch selectively controls the presence of the signal at the point of use, which can be a spring
loaded solenoid valve or other electro-mechanical actuator capable of deactivating an apparatus.

Abstract: The times(t1-t4) representing the time from the start of filling of each cavity(K1-K4) to reaching a reference pressure(pR) inside each cavity are measured, the reference pressure being above the pressure at the end of the filling stage, but below the lowest maximum pressure in a cavity. The temperatures in the hot runners to each cavity are then individually controlled to reduce the differences between measured time periods. A pressure/time integral is created for each cavity over a predetermined time period, which begins at the latest at the change-over point of the first filled cavity(K1) and ends between the change-over point of the last filled cavity(K2) and the point at which maximum pressure is reached. The integral is then additionally used for controlling hot runner temperature. Maximum pressure in each cavity is recorded and used additionally for controlling the hot runner temperatures. An imaginary mean value may also be created from the recorded time integrals or maximum pressures for each cavity, the differences between recorded and the imaginary values are formed and used to control the hot runner temperatures. A preferred way of reducing the filling time differences is to reduce the temperature in the first filled cavity(K1) in steps and increase it in the last filled cavity(K2). The change-over point for each cavity is determined automatically.
