Abstract: A joystick controller includes three gravity sensing switches, the outputs of which can be used in the assignment of joystick transducer outputs in six different ways depending on controller orientation. This permits intuitive control of a robot arm in that translational motion can always be effected by moving the joystick in the direction the arm is to move. Thus, a controller which is economical, reliable and intuitive multiplies the functions available from what is basically a two or three dimensional controller.

Abstract: An optical fiber system which includes a source of electromagnetic radiation e.g., a laser, in optical communication with a multicomponent halide glass optical fiber is disclosed. This system is distinguished from previous such systems in that, within the context of the inventive system, the multicomponent halide glass fiber exhibits lower intrinsic loss than when used in previous such systems. This is achieved by choosing the source in relation to the composition of the fiber so that the wavelength of at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the source is substantially equal to the minimum intrinsic loss wavelength for the fiber, as determined using a new, more accurate procedure.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine of the type having generally cylindrical casings (19,21) defining concentric bypass and turbine discharge passages (23,35) including a support structure (37) in the turbine discharge passage. The support structure (37) is cooled with low pressure compressor discharge air through a scoop (141) located in the bypass gas passage (23). The support structure (37) includes a plurality of radial fairings (67), each of which includes discharge openings (107) and, preferably, a discharge chute (75) which is approximately perpendicular to its respective fairing (67). The discharge openings (107) each communicate with the compressor discharge cool air flow in its respective fairing so as to provide a discharge flow (which from the chutes (75) is in the form of a stratified annulus) to cool downstream members which are aligned with them. The cooling air further reduces the temperature of the downstream gases so as to reduce the potential for flashback in the engine. The aerodynamic form and placement of the discharge chutes (75) provide enhancements to the operation of the diffuser, of which the support structure is a part.

Abstract: A gas burner having first flame openings (F1)for discharging a stable and self-combustible high-­concentration gas and second flame openings (F2) for discharging a unstable and non-self-conbustible low-­concentration gas, with the first and second flame openings being disposed alternately with each other. The effect of stable flame formations at the first flame openings assists stabilization of flame formations at the second flame openings adjacent thereto. Consequently, the gas burner as the whole may have a high air excess ratio to reduce its NOx generation and to prevent incomplete combustion. Further, if a rectifying member (7) is provided in the second flame opening, it becomes possible to enlarge the opening area of the second flame opening without disturbing its flame formation, whereby the burner will achieve further reduction in NOx generation and combustion noise and also improvements in its combustion load and ignition performance.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a power driven support mechanism for parked two-wheeled motor vehicles, in which the support member pivots between its upright and retracted postion by activation of a support member drive mechanism. In particular, it concerns a support mechanism and its installation configuration, constructed is such a way as to eliminate the above described problems of exposure to the elements, diminished ground clearance, and excessive lateral bulk. By constructing the vehicle in such a manner that the under-chassis support material is caused to extend beyond the chassis in an inferior and posterior direction, and furthermore, so that the anterior aspect of the power unit for applying driving force to the drive wheel (conventionally the rear wheel) is mounted on this prutruding under-chassis support material, a space is created between the protruding under-chassis support material, the power unit, and the under-chassis. In the space thus established, the support member itself as well as the support member drive mechanism is installed, thereby elimating problems of exposure to the elements and excessive external bulk.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to avoid the code space and time overhead of the software-loop. Loops (repeatedly executed blocks of instructions) are often used in software and microcode. Loops may be employed for array manipulation, storage initialization, division and square-root interpretation, and micro-interpreta­tion of instructions with variable-length operands. Software creates loops by keeping an iteration count in a register or in memory. During each iteration of the code loop, software decrements the count, and then branches to the "top" of the loop is the count remains nonzero. 
     This apparatus puts the decrement, compare, and branch- to-top into hardware, reducing the number of instructions in the loop and speeding loop execution. Hardware further speeds loop execution by eliminating the wait for the branch to the top-of-loop instruction. That is, it prefetches the top-of-loop instruction near the bottom of the loop. The loop may be initialized for a fixed iteration count, or can accept a variable count in the iteration count register. The apparatus consists of counters for the number of instructions in the loop, an iteration counter, a pointer to the top-of-loop location, and an instruction to initiate the loop.

Abstract: A wristwatch paging receiver is provided with an antenna matching network that automatically retunes the network at the beginning of a listening interval. During the retuning operation, a control signal is applied to a variable tuning element in the matching network, such as a varactor diode, and is swept from a minimum value to a maximum value. This sweeping is desirably performed in discrete voltage steps that correspond to unit increments of varactor capacitance. A feedback signal from the receiver, such as an AGC signal, is monitored during this operation to note which varactor bias signal yields the maximum AGC signal. After the sweep is concluded, the apparatus applies to the varactor the bias voltage that yielded the maximum AGC signal during the sweeping operation. This bias voltage is maintained through the end of the listening interval. At the beginning of the next listening interval, the process may be repeated.

Abstract: Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) is a 45 kDa endothelial cell mitogen that has been purified to homogeneity from human platelets. It does not bind to heparin and does not stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, in contrast to other endothelial mitogens of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. PD-ECGF appears to be the only endothelial cell growth factor in human platelets and recent data indicate that it has angiogenic activity  in vitro , i.e., the ability to stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and chemotactic activity,  in vitro . The present invention provides a homogeneous PD-ECGF in substantially greater yields than available in the past, the primary structure of PD-ECGF, antibodies against PD-ECGF, clones of its cDNA, and variants thereof. The invention also provides a therapeutic preparation of PD-ECGF.

Abstract: A method of inspecting V-shaped grooves, e.g. grooves for optical fibres, is carried out in the following steps. Coordinates of more than 20 points per groove (1) on a substate formed with V-shaped grooves ar emeasured with a stylus (3) moving in directions perpendicular to the longitudinal directions of the grooves. Data measured within regions of at least 10 µm at the edges (5) and bottom (6) of the grooves are removed from the data so obtained. Shapes formed by straight lines are then calculated on the basis of remaining data on effective measuring lengths of more than 40 µm. A method of working the V-shaped grooves is effected by the following steps. A circle (7) having a diameter substantially equal to that of fibres to be supported in the grooves is drawn inscribed in the interior of a V-shaped groove of shape calculated by the above method. The groove is then worked, while errors in the centre position of the circle are fed-back into the working process of the groove of the substrate to compensate for variation of depths and pitches of the V-shaped grooves being worked.
