Abstract: Deployment hinge apparatus comprises a stationary U-shaped bracket including a flange defining a retention recess. A hinge arm for supporting an operating structure such as a communication antenna reflector is pivotally mounted on the stationary bracket for movement between a stowed position and a deployed position. The hinge arm includes a deployment and latching cam which extends to a projecting nose member. A latch arm is pivotally mounted at one end to the stationary bracket and includes a cam follower at its other end operatively engageable with the cam. A spring biases the cam follower into engagement with the cam and is thereby effective to rotate the hinge arm from the stowed position to the deployed position such that, in the deployed position, the nose member and the cam follower are together snugly received in the retention recess, locking the hinge arm in the deployed position. In a simplified embodiment, which does not utilize a latch arm or a cam and cam follower, a bearing pivotally mounts the hinge arm on the stationary bracket. A first stop member is provided on the stationary bracket and a second adjustable stop member is provided on the hinge arm positioned to engage the first stop member when the hinge arm is in the deployed position. A spring biases the hinge arm toward the deployed position with the second stop member engaged with the first stop member and is effective to retain the hinge arm in the deployed position.

Abstract: A top-down design technique is used to design a semiconductor integrated circuit having a plurality of registers and a plurality of combinational circuits each of which is connected between the registers. When a semiconductor integrated circuit is logic-synthesized from a register transistor level, a front section of a critical path-containing combinational circuit is driven by a high voltage from a high-voltage source while the remaining section and other combinational circuits with no critical path are driven by a low voltage from a low-voltage source. A level shifter is placed at the stage before the critical path-containing combinational circuit. The level shifter converts a low-voltage signal into a high-voltage one. This invention facilitates logic synthesis of a low-power semiconductor circuit without increasing the maximum signal propagation delay of the critical path and without having to provide a level shifter in a combinational circuit.

Abstract: A system for selecting the operating mode of a variable displacement engine includes a vacuum analyser, a flow analyser, and a controller for determining whether the variable displacement engine should be operated on a fractional number of cylinders. The vacuum analyser generates a vacuum recommendation signal indicating whether a fractionally operating variable displacement engine can accommodate the inferred desired fractional manifold vacuum with respect to a desired torque and a specific emissions calibration. The flow analyser generates a flow recommendation signal indicating whether a fractionally operating variable displacement engine can accommodate a desired mass air flow and a desired exhaust gas recirculation flow with respect to a desired torque, a specific emissions calibration, and environmental conditions. The controller evaluates the vacuum and flow recommendation signals to determine the operating mode of the engine.

Title: Impact  type flow meter
Inventor: SATAKE SATORU
IPC: G01G11/00
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: An impact type flow meter for a particulate
material such as cereal comprises a supply device for
dropping the particulate material, an inclined load
detection plate for receiving the dropped particulate
material, and a load detector for detecting a load of
the particulate material exerted to the load detection
plate. A bottom surface of the supply device is inclined
at substantially the same degree with the load detection
plate, and has at its lower end with a supply opening
for dropping the particulate material onto the load
detection plate. The bottom surface serves to guide the
particulate material to the load detection plate at
substantially the same inclination therewith. Thus, the
flow meter has a buffer device for softening a dropping
impact of the particulate material integrally
incorporated in the particulate material supply device,
and accordingly, the height is low and the whole apparatus
is compact. The particulate material impinges upon
the bottom surface of the supply device, diverges widthwise
thereof and reaches the supply opening. Accordingly,
the direction and position of dropping of the
particulate material onto the load detection plate are
fixed. Further, the flow-down speed of the particulate
material is lessened, unevenness of the speed is
averaged or uniformed, thereby the flow meter is high in
measurement accuracy.

Abstract: A port circuit (108) for a time-division multiplexed (TDM) switching
system (100) is designed to effect sub-time-slot operation without external support,
as well as to effect conventional time-slot operation. A clock-frequency multiplier,
such as a frequency-multiplied phase-lock loop (PLL 202), and a multiplier-driven
sub-time-slot operation circuit, such as a PLL-driven finite state machine (203), are
incorporated into the port circuit. The clock-frequency multiplier and the sub-time-slot
operation circuit generate all the additional control signals that are necessary to
define sub-time slots and to effect multiple information transfers in a single time
slot. The port circuit engages in conventional time-slot transfers with conventional
port circuits, whereby it is compatible therewith, and engages in sub-time-slot
transfers with other sub-time-slot enabled port circuits, whereby it increases the
transfer throughput of the TDM switching fabric. The sub-time-slot operation is
selectively enabled and disabled on a per-time-slot basis.

Abstract: In a communication system for carrying out bi-directional
communication between a station device and a plurality of
subscriber devices through an optical transmission path by the
use of a time compression multiplexing technique, the station
device multiplexes a downward transmission signal and at least
one downward additional signal into a downward multiplexed
signal and sends the downward multiplexed signal into a downward
optical signal through the optical transmission path. The
downward multiplexed signal is located within a predetermined
time interval determined by the time compression multiplexing
technique and is demultiplexed into the downward transmission
signal and the at least one downward additional signal by a
demultiplexer placed at each of the subscriber devices. With
this structure, a video signal or the like can be also
transmitted in the time compression multiplexing system
together with the transmission signal from the station device
to the plurality of the subscriber devices. This makes it
possible to respond to multimedia requirements.
