Patent EP-0401893-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLUMBUS RICHARD LEWIS C O EAS
IPC: A61F13/02
Filed: 1990-05-28
Abstract: Conventional procedures for drawing blood from or injecting a substance into a host body comprise several steps and do not provide adequate protection against infection. Described herein is a sterilizing dressing (10) which reduces the number of steps required in the above procedure and which also provides increased protection from infection. The dressing (10) comprises a pair of cover sheets (12, 14) and a patch (20) which is sandwiched between the two cover sheets (12, 14). The patch (20) is transparent and effective to reseal after being punctured by a needle. Most importantly, the patch (20) includes a sterilizing agent. In use, the needle penetrates the patch (20) in the dressing (10) prior to penetrating the skin. This means that the needle is disinfected and/or sterilized prior to penetration of the skin. Furthermore, an injection site can be located both easily and precisely with the dressing according to the invention either by feel or visually.

Abstract: A procedure for detecting television picture tubes with insufficient vacuum, during production. 
<??>In order to detect and separate out tubes having insufficient vacuum before the getters, a DC voltage which rises continuously from a low value up to a maximum value is applied between the anode (g4) and a second electrode (g3) of the tube, the rise of which DC voltage is stopped when a (spark or discharge) current flows in the tube, and the associated value of the DC voltage is evaluated as the criterion for the detection of the tube.

Abstract: Physical changes induced in the spectral modulation sensor's optically resonant structure by the physical parameter being measured cause microshifts of its reflectivity and transmission curves, and of the selected operating segment(s) thereof being used, as a function of the physical parameter being measured. The operating segments have a maximum length and a maximum microshift of less than about one resonance cycle in length for unambiguous output from the sensor. The input measuring light wavelength(s) are selected to fall within the operating segment(s) over the range of values of interest for the physical parameter being measured. The output light from the sensor's optically resonant structure is spectrally modulated by the optically resonant structure as a function of the physical parameter being measured. The spectrally modulated output light is then converted into analog electrical measuring output signals by detection means. In one form, a single optical fiber carries both input light to and output light from the optically resonant structure. When more than one input measuring light wavelength is used, means may also be provided to divide the input light wavelengths into two portions and then take the ratio thereof. This provides several advantages simultaneously, such as enabling longer operating segments and microshifts to be used for greater sensitivity or detection range, and also eliminates certain errors caused by fluctuations in input light intensity or by changes in light intensity caused by optical fiber bending and optical fiber connectors.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission 16, clutch-to-clutch closed throttle downshifting is controlled by filling the on-coming clutch C1-C5 at a maximum pressure command for a set period while commanding the off-going clutch pressure to a low value and exhausting the off-going clutch C1-C5 before the end of the fill period. At the end of the fill period the on-coming pressure is set to an initial value and then ramped up until turbine speed Nt is pulled up due to off-going clutch slippage. Then a closed-loop profile control period starts wherein slip of the on-coming clutch C1-C5 is measured and controlled on the basis of a slip profile. When synchronization of the on-coming clutch is detected, maximum pressure is commanded. If the throttle is opened during the downshift, the algorithm reverts to a powered downshift algorithm if the off-going clutch still has pressure or to an open-loop ramp control of the on-coming clutch if the off-going clutch has been exhausted.

Abstract: Device for measuring the yarn length of the yarns drawn off from a warp beam of a warp knitting machine, having a tension roller which bears by means of a pivoted arm against the yarn on the warp beam and drives a signal generator for transmitting length signals which represent a measure of the yarn length drawn off from the warp beam. The tension roller is mounted on a lever, which is pivoted on the pivoted arm and prestressed in the direction towards the warp beam, in such a way that the tension roller rotates the lever away from the warp beam in its tensioned state and onto the warp beam in its raised state, it being the case that a limit switch - actuated by the lever - mounted on the pivoted arm assumes one of its switching positions (e.g. closed) in the tensioned state, and its other switching position (e.g. open) in the raised state, into which position the limit switch passes when the pivoted arm of the warp beam is pivoted away during the rotary movement of the lever when the tension roller is still bearing against the warp beam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to efficient coding of interlaced scan video sequences. Input picture (1) is partitioned into smaller blocks (2) of pixel data where the two fields in each block are examined (3) for correlation. If the difference between the two fields in the block is low (or the correlation is high), the block will be coded (6) with a frame coding method that assumes all lines in the block are progressive scanned, and therefore, with efficient inter-frame motion compensation method and chrominance data intra-frame sub-sampling method designed. On the other hand, if the difference between the two fields in the block is high (or the correlation is low), the block will be coded (5) with a field coding method where more emphasis is made on exploring correlation within each field (intra-field) and correlation of each field and its neighboring fields (inter-field); furthermore, intra-field sub-sampling of the chrominance data is better performed in such block.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant digital data processor includes three identical logic CPU boards connected to a voting bus and a system bus. The three boards are initally designated as a master board (A), a slave board (B) and a slave board (C). The master board (A) drives the system bus and the two slave boards serve as backups in case the master breaks. The master board issues signals, at different instances with the aid of multiplexing, to the slave boards. On the slave boards, corresponding signals are compared and the result is broadcast to all three boards. When all three boards are compared equal, the master board remains as master (3A). If there is a miscompare between one slave board and the master but not between the other slave board and the master (3B), the master board remains master, and the slave board with which the miscompare occurred will be disabled after another miscompare. If a miscompare occurs between the master board and both slave boards (3C), a re-execution of the previous cycle occurs. After a master board failure is confirmed, a slave board becomes a master board (3D), and if there is another comparison failure the former master board is disabled.
