Title: Remote lock-out system and method for a horizontal direction drilling system
Inventor: BRAND IVAN R
IPC: E21B7/04
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely altering operation of a horizontal directional drilling machine provide for remotely disabling movement of a drill string coupled to a cutting head or reamer and, in addition, disabling dispensing of fluid, foam and/or air communicated through the drill string. A lockout signal is transmitted from a portable or hand-manipulatable remote unit operated by an operator remotely situated with respect to the drilling machine. The lockout signal is received at the drilling machine. In response to the received lockout signal, a controller of the drilling machine prevents movement of the drill string and thus the cutting head or reamer. The controller also disables dispensing of fluid, foam and/or air through the drill string in response to the received lockout signal. The controller effects transmission of a verification signal from the drilling machine to the remote location. The verification signal indicates successful receipt of the lockout signal by the drilling machine, disablement of drill string movement and, if applicable, disablement of fluid, foam and/or air supply through the drill string. The remote unit, in response to the verification signal received from the drilling machine, communicates to a user of the remote unit one or more of a visual, audible, and/or tactile indication that the verification signal has been received, thus providing unambiguous assurance to operators working on or proximate the drill string/cutting head that all drill string/cutting head movement and fluid dispensed through the drill string has been successfully disabled.

Abstract: A method of for testing complementation of nucleic
acid fragment is performed by the steps of:
   bringing a sample nucleic acid complex composed of a
double-stranded nucleic acid structure and a labeled
intercalator, in which the double-stranded nucleic acid
structure has been produced by contact of a sample nucleic
acid fragment with a probe molecule fixed to a solid
carrier, into contact with an aqueous medium;   applying variation of surrounding conditions to the
aqueous medium, to cause disengagement of the sample
fragment and intercalator from the complex and simultaneously
measuring decrease of quantity of the label on
the carrier, so that stability of the sample fragment in
the complex is determined; and   comparing the stability determined above with reference
stability data.

Abstract: A signaling link interface (10) includes a high
level data link controller (12) that receives signaling
information from network elements in a telecommunication
network. A link state controller (14) performs message

controller (14) are implemented in hardware as field
programmable gate array devices. Information related to
operation of the signaling link interface (10) may be
downloaded from a remote site into the field programmable

Abstract: In order to ensure prevention of occurrence of backlash
between the torsion bar (7) and a member (14) to which the
same is fitted even when a force is applied to the torsion
bar (7) when lock of a locking mechanism (6) is effected in
a seatbelt retractor (1), three backlash preventing ribs (20,
21, 22) having arc-shaped cross section are provided on the
inner peripheral surfaces of an axial hole (4a) having
hexagonal cross section of a reel (4) on three sides (4a 1 ,
4a 3 , 4a 5 ), which are not adjacent with each other,
respectively so as to extend in the axial direction. These
backlash preventing ribs (20, 21, 22) are provided on the
respective sides (4a 1 , 4a 3 , 4a 5 ) on the sides to which a
large force from the reel (4) is not applied. Therefore,
since a large force generated when rotation of the locking
base (14) of the locking mechanism (6) in the webbing
unwinding direction is locked is not applied to these
backlash preventing ribs (20, 21, 22), the collapse of the
backlash preventing ribs (20, 21, 22) caused by such a force
can be prevented. Therefore, occurrence of backlash caused
by the collapse of the backlash preventing ribs (20, 21, 22)
is prevented.

Abstract: Compatibility with a current transformer having
several kinds of rated current ratios is achieved by finding
out a formula of relationship between errors arising in a
transformer input circuit and detectable ranges set as setting
values of the input circuits which can be optimally set. In
connection with that, by dispensing with a gain control section,
the number of components, the mounting area and the cost can
be reduced. Arithmetic expressions representing the
relationship among errors arising in the transformer input
circuit, the instrumentation ranges of the input circuits, and
detectable errors have been derived. Further by optimally
setting the detectable ranges of the input circuits, which are
the parameters of the arithmetic expressions, the configuration
compatible with a current transformer having several kinds of
rated current ratios is achieved.

Abstract: A method of driving a display device capable of obtaining a luminance of
constant level irrespective of temperature change is provided. A change in luminance of an
EL element due to temperature change is prevented by controlling the luminance of the EL
element with current instead of voltage. Specifically, a TFT for controlling the amount of
current flowing into the EL element is operated in a saturation range. Then a current value
I DS  of the TFT is hardly changed by V DS  but is determined solely by V GS . Accordingly, the
amount of current flowing in the EL element is kept constant by setting V GS  to such a value as
to make the current value I DS  constant. The luminance of the EL element is substantially in
proportion to the amount of current flowing through the EL element, and a change in
luminance of the EL element upon temperature change can thus be prevented.

Abstract: A karaoke device with built-in microphone includes a main body microphone, and
converts an audio signal from the microphone into audio data by an A/D converter, and
writes the audio data into a ring buffer by mixing with the data already stored in the ring
buffer. If an echo mode is set, a delay time constant (C D ) corresponding to the echo mode
is determined, and on the basis thereof, a size of the ring buffer is set. The data is read
from the ring buffer, and is inputted in a sound channel. If a voice effect mode is set, a
reproduction frequency constant (C F ) corresponding to the voice effect mode is
determined, and based thereon, an inclement value of a read pointer of the ring buffer is
determined, and then, the data is read from an address indicated by the read pointer.
When the read pointer reaches the delay time constant, the relevant constant is subtracted
from the read pointer value. Furthermore, it becomes possible to simultaneously use a
microphone of an additional microphone and the main body microphone by inserting a
microphone plug of the additional microphone into a microphone jack of the karaoke
device.
