IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1990-12-06
Abstract: A monitoring device (1) for a multiplicity of series-connected similar accumulators (2) has a diode (30), allocated to the terminal connections (11, 12) of each accumulator (2) and in each case suppressing a reverse current from the accumulator (2), and an associated secondary winding (31) of a transformer (27). The primary winding (26) of the transformer (27) is connected in series with an interruptor (25), connected to the control circuit (22), in parallel with the terminals (3, 4) of the group of accumulators (2). During the time when a rectangular-wave function generator provided in the control circuit is connected, an exchange of charge and a charge equalisation occur between a weak accumulator (2) and the group of accumulators (2) which prevents a premature degradation of the overall accumulator system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arrangement for limiting the terminal voltage in an alternator has a fixed stator winding acting on rectifiers and an excitation winding which rotates with the alternator rotor. The arrangement also has a controller and a first slip ring contact which load the excitation winding with excitation current as a function of the magnitude of a delivered voltage, and at least one free-wheeling valve which is conductive during a controller-side interruption of the excitation current and is connected in parallel with the excitation winding. The arrangement includes an auxiliary winding on the rotor. The auxiliary winding continues the excitation winding in the same direction of winding, with the auxiliary winding and the excitation winding being connected at a first connection point. A second slip ring contact operatively connects the first connection point to a machine terminal supplying excitation current. A zener diode is connected in series with auxiliary winding, and a third slip ring contact operatively connects the auxiliary winding to a ground terminal of the alternator or of the controller.

Abstract: 2.1. In known oscillating mitre saws, the cutting range is dependent upon the diameter of the saw blade. Apart from the space requirement, this can also have an adverse effect on the cutting accuracy. 2.2. In an oscillating mitre saw with a swivel arm whose swivel axis lies below the plane of the work rest of a saw table, it is proposed to design this swivel arm like a U-frame and to arrange it with its swivel axis in a vertical plane below the work rest, which vertical plane runs approximately through the centre of the work rest. Due this configuration, the stop and the workpiece are overlapped. The saw blade is guided like a trim saw. 2.3. Use for oscillating mitre saws. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed are a noise eliminating element (1) having a junction (4) of components (2,3) of two kinds of electroconductive materials,  characterized in that  the absolute values of the thermoelectric power of the two kinds of materials is 50 µVK⁻¹ or higher and there is substantially no rectifying action at the junction (4). Both the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect occur simultaneously and create a transient phenomena in one element (1). Because of the transient phenomena in one element (1) and because of the transient phenomena based on both effects, noises, particularly the standing wave noises generated at around output current near to zero are eliminated. The noise eliminating elements (1) can be inserted in a magnetic circuit (10,11) of a speaker circuit (9') for acoustic equipment or in a diflecting coil circuit of an electron image display device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for editing the displayed voice wave form by marking the portion of interest on the screen is disclosed. Marked segment may then be deleted, for example, or copied into another segment in second voice editing window. In either case, pointers are established at the selected marker positions of the displayed voice segment and in the corresponding positions of uncompressed voice segments. The voice data is treated as a stream of fixed-length micro-segments, where there is a predictable correlation between the positions of the compressed and uncompressed data. In the implementation at hand, these micro-segments are 20 ms. in length. Editing is accomplished by modifying micro-segments in both the compressed and uncompressed segments simultaneously. When the user is satisfied with the result, the edited wave form is redrawn on the screen. The user may then SAVE the result, and the entire segment is rewritten to the data base, replacing the previous version. Only the compressed version is written, thus eliminating the need for a subsequent pass through the compression hardware with the associated compounding of distortion.

Abstract: A service network has several computer systems connected together. A computer system can either be a "Service Requestor" (SR) (110), a "Service Provider" (SP) (150), or a hybrid of the two, a "Service Provider/Requestor" (SP/R) (140). Once the service network is established, a SR can automatically detect problems with it's components (hardware, software, or microcode), build a service request describing the problem, select a SP/R responsible for fixing the problem, and send the service request to that SP/R. The SP/R responsible for fixing the problem receives the service request, verifies that the SR is entitled to receive service, and checks a solution log to see if it has the solution for the problem. If so, solution information describing the fix for the problem, accompanied by one or more software components, microcode components, hardware parts order, and/or textual instructions, is sent down to the SR. If the responsible SP/R cannot fix the problem, it checks to see if it receives support for this problem from any other SPs or SP/Rs to which it is connected. If so, it sends the service request on to this SP or SP/R, which may in turn send the service request on to other SPs or SP/Rs until a fix is found. The SP or SP/R can also perform remote problem detection and determination on a SR.

Abstract: A speech signal coding system for coding a speech signal at a bit rate of 8 to 4 kb/s wherein the mount of calculation in fractional search of delays of an adaptive codebook (180) is reduced significantly. Before a fractional delay of the adaptive codebook (180) is found. candidates of integer delay are found by an open-loop using correlation values. A search of a fractional delay by a closed loop is performed for a search range for fractional delays which is provided by several samples of each integer delay candidate thus found using the correlation values. The fractional delay search is realized by polyphase filtering of excitation signal in the past. In the search, a plurality of candidates of fractional delay may be found for each integer delay candidate from the adaptive codebook (180). In this instance, a fractional delay is determined decisively from the decimal delay candidates after a search of an excitation codebook(200).

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved gripper bushing assemblies for use with injection molds, molding machines and other devices. In a first embodiment, the gripper bushing assemblies include an elongated flexible gripping sleeve positioned about a column member such as a tiebar. The sleeve is secured to a member such as a moving platen and is used to clamp the platen to the tiebar in a desired location. The gripper bushing assemblies further include one or more spacers intermediate the sleeve and the platen. The spacers engage the sleeve via a mechanical interlock. The sleeve and spacer(s) are capable of accommodating tiebar stretching which may occur as a result of clamping forces being applied to the mold via the platen. In a second embodiment, the spacer(s) are omitted and the gripping sleeve has a male thread which engages a female thread on the platen.

Abstract: An electrically conductive diaphragm is sandwiched between a first and second board member. One of said board members has a metallic plate thereon, there being a non conductive spacer having an opening therein separating such board member from the diaphragm. The board members, diaphragm and spacer are joined together to form an integral assembly, the portion of the diaphragm opposite the opening in the spacer being free to move in such opening towards the board member with the metallic plate, motion of the diaphgram away from the spacer being prevented by the other board member. A respiratory gas inlet is provided through the board member with the metallic plate to the opening in the spacer. The diaphragm and metallic plate form a capacitor the capacitance of which is varied in response to the pressure differential between the gas inlet and the atmosphere, the diaphragm only being free to move towards the metallic plate in response to negative pressures (suction) induced during inspiration by a patient.
