Patent EP-0440498-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HURLEY RICK ALAN
IPC: H01H47/32
Filed: 1991-02-01
Abstract: A microprocessor controlled electrical contactor 10 monitors the voltage A and peak current B produced by a first voltage pulse P₁ gated to the coil 31 of the contactor electromagnet 30 and adjusts the conduction angle ß₂ of the second pulse P₂ to deliver a constant amount of electrical energy to the electromagnet coil despite variations in coil resistance and supply voltage so that the contactor contacts 22, 26, 46, 48 can be consistently closed with low impact velocity and minimum contact bounce. Normally, the third P₃ and subsequent pulses are gated to the coil at constant conduction angles selected so that the contacts consistently touch and seal on a preselected pulse with declining coil current. Under marginal conditions, determined by the peak current I peak  produced by the first pulse, the third and subsequent pulses are gated at substantially full conduction angles to assure contact closure. If the voltage or current produced by the first pulse is below a predetermined value, closure is aborted.

Abstract: A radio communication system, such as a trunked private mobile radio system, comprises sites 12,14 and 16 each with its respective base station 6,8 and 10. Fixed radio units or dispatchers, for example 26,28 and 30, are located within the sites and mobiles, e.g. 32 and 34, are free to roam throughout the sites. When each dispatcher (e.g. dispatcher 26) is installed initially, a check is made of the quality of its radio communication not only with its local base station (base station 6) but with all the other base stations in the system. A list is stored of all those base stations with which it can communicate with at least a predetermined degree of quality. When a call is to be made between a dispatcher (e.g. dispatcher 26) and a mobile (e.g. mobile 34) in a different site, the check is made whether the base station of the latter site is included within the predetermined list. If it is, the radio communication link is established between dispatcher 26 and mobile 34 via base station 8, omitting base station 6. Mobile 34 communicates with base station 8 using one of the channels applicable to site 14, and dispatcher 26 is instructed to communicate direct with base station 8 using the same radio channel.

Abstract: An image is presented that includes a node-link structure. The nodes (20,22,24,26) are in rows, and each row extends across a centering line (30,32). The rows are in sequence along the centering line (30,32), with links (28) between nodes in adjacent rows. When a user requests a centering operation for an indicated node (22), a sequence of images (12) is presented, each including a row that appears to be a continuation of the row with the indicated node (22) and that includes a continued indicated node (42) that appears to be a continuation of the indicated node (22). The rows appear to be shifted, bringing the continued indicated nodes toward the centering line (50,52), until a final shift locks the continued indicated node into position at the centering line (50,52). The positions of the indicated node (22) and a subset of the continued indicated nodes (42) together can define an asymptotic path that begins at the position of the indicated node (22) and approaches the centering line (30,32) asymptotically until the final shift occurs. The displacements between positions can follow a logarithmic function, with each displacement being a proportion of the distance from the preceding position to the centering line (30,32). Each step can include an animation loop. If the node-link structure represents a hierarchical body of data with each node representing a data item, the indicated node's descendants and ancestors within the hierarchy can also be shifted to the centering line. Each node can be rectangular, and the nodes in each row can be separated by equal offsets to provide compact rows. Each node can be a selectable unit, so that the user can request a centering operation by selecting a node, such as with a mouse click.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for decoupling external linear vibration from a device mounted in an enclosure, so as to reduce resulting rotational motion of the device comprises n vibration isolation mounts having characteristics and being positioned so that the center of stiffness and the center of damping coincide with the center of mass of the device. The invention may be applied to direct access storage devices having arbitrary mounting configurations where the geometry of the mounting configurations and/or the mass distribution of the head-disc assembly are not necessarily-symmetrical. Altenatively, the damping and stiffness parameters may be isotropic in the plane of the device and the axes of the vibration isolation mounts may be disposed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the device. The stiffness and damping constants may be equal for each mounting point and the mounting points may be located so as to be symmetric with respect to each other in the plane of the device. The center of stiffness and the center of mass may also be at the same point along an axis perpendicular to the plane of the device. A balancing mass may be applied to the device to change its center of mass to coincide with the center of stiffness. For a given mass and inertia distribution, isolation mounts are designed to be located polygonally shaped configurations so as to satisfy critical equations so that complete rigid body mode decoupling occurs. With an assumption that the mount stiffness and damping are to be identical for all mounts, the geometry of their locations are simplified to have symmetries that would result in regular polygons such as an isosceles triangle, a trapezoid, a square, a rectangle, etc.

Abstract: In a semiconductor integrated logic circuit, latch circuits are provided to hold the input signal supplied to a random logic circuit just before an operation mode is switched from a normal operation mode to a test operation mode. During the test operation mode, the latched signals are continued to be supplied to random logic circuit so that the operation condition of a internal circuit of the random logic circuit is maintained as it is. Therefore, when the circuit is returned from the test operation mode to the normal operation mode, the circuit operation of the internal circuit of the random logic circuit continuing from the circuit operation in the previous normal operation condition can be obtained.

Abstract: The proposal is for an engagement override system for control of a motor vehicle transmission, which has a plurality of hydraulically actuable control elements (C1, C2) for the engagement of a gear of the transmission (12) as a function of the position of a selector lever (14) which has neutral and non-neutral positions, and a plurality of control valves (16) for controlling the input pressure of the control elements (C1, C2) and a pump (18) for supplying the control valves (16) with pressurised fluid. To avoid a situation where a gear is in engagement when the vehicle is started, an engagement override system is proposed. This system can also be used where the selector lever emits only electrical signals. For this purpose, the engagement override system contains an electric switch (84) which is connected to the selector lever (14) and excites a magnet coil (82) when the selector lever (14) is in its neutral position. The switch (84) switches off the magnet coil (82) when the selector lever (14) is in a non-neutral position. An engagement override valve (20) contains a pilot valve (54, 80) which controls the connection between the pump (18), a reservoir and the control elements (C1, C2). The magnet coil (82) controls the pilot valve (54, 80). The engagement override valve (20) furthermore contains a pilot chamber (72) which can be put under pressure in order to move the valve (20) into a position in which the pump (18) is connected to the control elements (C1, C2) and hold it there. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a rolling cutter drill bit the distribution of the inserts on each rolling cutter (152,154,156) is arranged to form a more rounded borehole corner to reduce concentrated side forces and to facilitate directional drilling while minimising gauge wear. Each rolling cutter includes a transition row (176) of inserts which is intermediate the gauge cutting row (160,174,184) and bottom cutting row (162) and which drill neither the gauge of the borehole nor the hole bottom, but drill a rounded transition area (196) between the vertical side wall and borehole bottom. The invention provides the ratios between certain key dimensions of the insert rows, such ratios being selected to determine the roundness of the corner of the borehole in such manner as to improve the ability of the bit to drill curved boreholes. These key dimensions include the relative diameters (c,d,t) and spacing (h,y) of the insert rows, the relative diameters of the inserts, and their relative angular orientations (167,179) with respect to the longitudinal axis (102) of the drill bit.
