Abstract: A force sensing device (40) especially suitable for use in an accelerometer or a pressure transducer, depending upon its particular design, is disclosed herein. This device includes at least one and preferably two adjacent and parallel, elongate, vibratable tines (42) and means (44, 46) for vibrating the tines (42) back and forth in a direction normal to their axes of elongation (48). These tines (42) are supported for vibration by an arrangement (52) including an array of interconnected links (70A-70D) and mounting means (72AB, 72BC, 72CD, 72AD) adapted to be connected to an external member capable of applying a variable external force (Fs) to the support arrangement along an axis (62) normal to the axes (48) of elongation of the tines. The support arrangement (52) is configured so as to apply to the tines (42) its own internal force in response to and varying with the external force (Fs) in a way which causes the tines (42) to vibrate at a frequency that varies with the magnitude of the internal force and therefore the external force (Fs). In this way, the vibrating frequency of either or both tines (42) can be sensed for determining therefrom the magnitude of the external force (Fs) aoplied to the support arrangement (52).

Abstract: An electrical connector apparatus having a plug and a receptacle is disclosed. The body of each of the plug and receptacle are chiefly made of an low conductivity material, such as composite. Despite the low conductive characteristics of the connector material, the apparatus is provided with capability for safely handling short duration relatively high current electrical surges such as those produced by lightning strikes and EMP. This capability is provided by elongated conductive elements associated respectively with each of the plug and receptacle. The elements each define a respective contact region, which regions mate when the plug is inserted in the receptacle in a predetermined alignment. The opposite ends of the conductive elements are coupled to the outer conductive jackets of adjacent sections of jacketed cable to which each of the plug and receptacle are electrically coupled.

Title: Apparatus and method for dispensing fluid materials using position-dependent velocity feedback
IPC: G05D7/06
Filed: 1988-03-17
Granted: 1993-08-25
Abstract: Apparatus and method for dispensing fluid materials wherein the fluid is discharged from a nozzle (29) at a rate controlled by a metering valve (27) having a seat (34) and a stem (32) moveable with respect to the seat to modulate the flow. A servo-actuator (20) connected in a feedback control loop is used to position the valve stem (32) with respect to its seat (34) in accordance with a control signal (246). The control signal is derived in accordance with the difference between a driving signal (222) representing a desired flow rate and the sum of a pair of feedback signals (211, 120a). One feedback signal (211) represents the actual flow rate while the other feedback signal (120a) is correlated to both the relative velocity and positon of the stem (32) with respect to the seat (34). The position-dependent velocity signal (120a) is generated by a transducer (119) comprising a magnet (150) and a coil (134) influenceable by the field of the magnet (150) as the magnet (150) and coil (134) move relative one another. For any given velocity, the magnitude of the position-dependent velocity signal (120a) is greater when the stem and seat are close together than when they are further apart so that as the valve closes, the amount of feedback increases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of moulded articles which have an unfoamed vinyl chloride homopolymer, copolymer, terpolymer or graft polymer layer (compact layer) produced by slush moulding over a layer having at least one foam structure. To produce the unfoamed layer, a plasticiser-containing vinyl chloride polymer is first introduced into a mould in the slush-moulding process, and gelled or sintered by heating. After the compact layer has formed, any excess of ungelled or unsintered powder, plastisol or paste is removed from the mould. According to the invention, sintering or gelling of the compact layer is followed by application by slush moulding of a plasticiser-containing vinyl chloride homopolymer, copolymer, terpolymer or graft polymer which contains at least one water-free chemical blowing agent, this barrier layer being formed using a mixture of 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride polymer, certain parts by weight of at least one plasticiser (monomer plasticiser and/or polymer plasticiser), at least one stabiliser and/or kicker for the blowing agent (including antioxidants), at least one water-free chemical blowing agent or blowing agent mixture and at least one filler or filler mixture and/or additive.

Granted: 1999-03-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing division is described which first comprises approximating the short reciprocal of the divisor. A reciprocal bias adjustment factor is added to the approximation and the correctly biased short reciprocal is multiplied by a predetermined number of the most significant bits of the dividend and the product is truncated to generate a first quotient digit value. The multiplication takes place in a multiplier array having a rectangular aspect ratio with the long side having a number of bits at least as large as the number of bits required for the divisor. The short side of the multiplier array has a number of bits slightly greater by several guard bits than the number of bits required for a single quotient digit value, which is also determined to be the number of bits in the short reciprocal. The quotient digit value is multiplied by the full divisor and the exact product is subtracted from the dividend to yield an exact partial remainder. The described steps are repeated to serially generate quotient digit values with exact partial remainders with the preceding partial remainder taking the place of the dividend. The quotient digit values are accumulated to yield a complete quotient. The complete quotient is decremented and the remainder recalculated if the final partial remainder is negative, yielding the full precision unique quotient and non-negative remainder pair.

Abstract: 2.1 The contact spring socket should be capable of automatic production from only one piece, it not being necessary to carry out and pretreating of the connecting wires and cable cores in order to achieve automatic contacting. The socket bodies should be electrically insulated from one another. The contact spring socket should be designed such that fully automatic production results in a cost-effective mass-produced product. 2.2 The complete socket body of the contact spring socket is produced by several stamping and bending steps from a single metal part. Additional compression springs are provided to reinforce the contact pressure. On the shaft of the socket body facing away from the contact springs, insulation-piercing terminals and hooks for making contact and stress relief of a connecting wire are provided. The socket body is accommodated in an insulating housing, which contains a special contacting tool in order that the connecting wires automatically make contact with the insulation-piercing terminals. 2.3 The contact spring socket can be produced as a cost-effective mass-produced product. It is possible to make contact with untreated connecting wires manually or by machine, without a special tool. <IMAGE>
