Abstract: A dual storage cell is disclosed, which utilizes memory cells of cross-coupled inverters together with isolation transistors coupled between the driver transistors of the inverters and the reference supply node. Transfer circuitry is included in the dual storage cell, which couples one of the data nodes of the destination memory cell to a power supply node responsive to a transfer enable signal, and responsive to the data state of the source memory cell. During the transfer operation, the isolation transistors in the destination cell are turned off so that the cross-coupled inverters are not biased to the reference supply node. This allows the data transfer to occur without a DC current path between the power supply node and the reference supply node. The preferred implementation uses complementary transistors for the isolation transistors relative to the transfer devices, and to connect the gates together to the transfer enable signal. Either single or dual isolation transistors may be used in the memory cell, depending on layout constraints.

Abstract: A control circuit for electrical contactors, starters and the like which include one or more pairs of separable main contacts is controlled by an electromagnet assembly 10. In order to reduce, if not eliminate, audible noise generated by the electromagnet assembly, the electrical current to the electromagnetic assembly is regulated to minimize the rate of change of magnetic flux therethrough to thereby reduce, if not eliminate, audible noise. The circuitry is also adapted to compensate for alternating current (AC) magnetic coupling from the main poles in order to provide a relatively larger hold in force when the contacts are to remain in a closed position. Apparatus for calibrating an electrical device is taught. A precision power supply device PCS is interconnected by way of appropriate input channels to the device 10 to be calibrated for supplying a precise accurate calibration variable as an input. A personal computer PC is interlinked by way of a communications network CONI with the apparatus 10 to be calibrated and is also interlinked with the precision supply device so that the personal computer PC has available the exact value of input variable utilized. Upon command, the personal computer PC instructs the device being calibrated to deliver to the personal computer PC those values of input variable which the device being calibrated interprets as the input variable value. The personal computer PC compares this value with the actual value and generates a correction factor which the personal computer PC sends back to the device being calibrated for storage in an EEPROM. A power supply 202 which includes a rectifier input circuit MCR1 which provides either half wave or full wave rectified electrical current at an instantaneous voltage value to the input terminal of a controlled switch MQ3 is taught. The controlled switch is controlled by the combination of a "low voltage reset" device MU6 and a field effects transistor MQ2 combined to form a voltage sensing and switching circuit SSM which is interconnected at its input between the input terminal of the voltage regulator and ground and at its output or reset terminal to the control terminal of the voltage regulator. The output terminal of the voltage regulator is connected to the anode of a diode MCR7, the cathode of which is connected to one side of a storage capacitor MC6.

Abstract: Dynamic switch protocols are implemented on a token bus protocol in a shared medium network to improve the basic token bus functional capabilities and link utilization, and to produce a uniform transaction protocol that supports both token bus and dynamic switch networks. Frame formats common to both token bus and dynamic switch protocols are utilized, and circuit switched protocols are superimposed on a token bus protocol in interlocked and data transmissions to establish a circuit switched path between a token holder sender node and a destination node. An initial frame transmission uses a normal link header and establishes the circuit switched path between the sender node and the destination node. Subsequent data frames contain no link header information, thereby improving transmission efficiency, and the last frame in such a transmission disconnects the switched circuit path, thereby allowing other transmissions to resume. The use of circuit switched protocols within a token bus protocol allows more general transmission sequences and improves the utilization of token bus bandwidth.

Abstract: A control system of a vehicle automatic transmission. An engine load and a vehicle speed are detected and based on them, a vehicle acceleration to be obtained from the detected engine load and vehicle speed is determined in accordance with the preestablished characteristics. An actual vehicle acceleration is at the same time calculated in response to the detected vehicle speed. The difference therebetween is then calculated and the calculated value is added to a difference calculated earlier to obtain an average therebetween. Five gear shift scheduling maps, for example one for moderate hill climbing, one for level-road running, one for steep hill descent, are preestablished and in response to the average obtained, one of the maps is selected. A gear shifting is controlled based on the selected map. In a specific condition such as the engine load changes abruptly, braking is in progress and so on, the map selection is suspended and the control is carried out using the map selected earlier.

Abstract: A gas lighter with a safety device has a lock member pivotal between a locked position, where it prevents depression of an ignition, and a released position, where it allows depression of an actuating lever. The lock member is constantly urged to the locked position by means of a spring. The lock member has also a finger board extending outside a lighter body and being positioned where it can be depressed with the same finger as is used in depressing the actuating lever, and a stopper being movable between the locked position, in response to movement of the lock member in one direction, and the released position, in response to movement of the lock member in the other direction. When the lighter is not in use, the lock member is urged to the locked position to make an abutment against an abutment portion on the lighter body, thereby preventing depression of the actuating lever. When the lighter is in use, depressing the finger board causes pivotal movement of the lock member, thereby resulting in the lock member held in the released position by an engagement of engaging portions. Dpressing the actuating lever permits the return of the lock member to the initial position.

Abstract: An acoustic transducer assembly (15) is provided having a one or two-dimensional array of transducer elements (13), an electrical circuit element such as a circuit board (19) and a backing (27) for interconnecting transducer elements to corresponding contacts (22,45) or traces of the circuit element. The backing (27) is a block (37) of acoustic attenuating material having a conductor (39) extending therethrough between each transducer element (13) and the corresponding circuit contact (22). The block (37) has acoustic properties, including acoustic impedance and acoustic velocity, to achieve a desired degree of acoustic match with the transducer elements (13) and/or to permit coupling of acoustic energy from the conductors into the block (37). The block (37) may be of a single material or may have different volumes of two or more materials having different acoustic properties to achieve desired results. Multiple thin conductors (39a) or conducting fibers or foils (42) may be utilized for each transducer element to reduce or eliminate acoustic coupling into the conductors. Acoustic coupling into the conductors may also be reduced by providing off-center contact with the transducer elements (13). Removal of acoustic energy from the conductors may be facilitated by covering each conductor with a material (41) having a lower acoustic velocity than the conductor, which material is impedance matched to at least a portion of adjacent backing material.
