Abstract: A position location system includes multiple base stations spaced over a region. A remote unit within the region transmits a locating signal which is received by the base stations. The base stations report amplitude, phase and time data related to the locating signal to a control station. The control station includes a processor and memory that combine the data from all of the participating base stations to directly compute an optimal estimate of the location of the portable unit. The control station generates a locator function based upon the probability that the portable unit is located at a particular position. By optimizing the locator function, the error in the computation is minimized to produce an accurate position estimate.

Abstract: The gear change control method involves continuously determining the acceleration of the vehicle. The drive rotation rate is also continuously determined. A switch process is triggered when the acceleration value and the current rotation rate value fall at a switch point which lies on a switch characteristic curve in an acceleration-rotation rate diagram. The characteristic curve is stepped with at least two knee points. The increase slope of the characteristic curve is smaller than the slope of that for the acceleration curve. When the vehicle drive is connected to different gears the characteristic curve has knee points for all possible gears.

Abstract: When a vehicle is traveling on a descending slope, the gearshift position of an automatic transmission is set to a position selected in accordance with driver's intention of accelerating the vehicle based on accelerator opening. A decision is preferably made as to whether the gearshift position should be set to a low-speed gearshift position where an engine brake can be applied, in accordance with the magnitude comparison between a threshold value and at least one value of gradient of a road and time-dependent change in vehicle speed. The threshold value may be changed to a value that causes the low-speed gearshift position to be easily selected if the frictional resistance of the road surface is judged to be low. Further, the threshold value may be set beforehand which corresponds to the degree of gradient and/or winding of the road, and the threshold value is changed to a value that causes the low-speed gearshift position to be easily selected if the detected operating amount of braking exceeds a predetermined standard value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for determining blood pressure of an artery includes the steps of applying a pressure to the artery, sensing pressure data produced by the artery and deriving parameters for the sensed pressure data. The parameters are utilized for generating a first blood pressure value estimate using a first function of the parameters based upon a first range of pressure values and by generating at least one second blood pressure estimate using at least one second parameter function based upon a second blood pressure estimate using at least one second parameter function based upon a second pressure range different from the first pressure range. A blood pressure value is determined based upon the first blood pressure estimate and said at least one second blood pressure estimate.

Abstract: Electronic distress call and position finding system for rescuing distressed people has a receiver with a screen and a distress call transmitter. For evaluating the distress call, it requires the positions of both the receiver and transmitter components. The positions (A) of the receiver (1) and (B) of the distress call transmitter (2) are established by their GPS modules from the data of specialized satellites (4), which orbit the earth on stationary orbits. The distress call transmitter radios its position (B) to the receiver. From the two positions, the distance and direction of the distress call transmitter are calculated. If the system is used for diving, the switched-on receiver remains on the ship, and the distress call transmitter is secured to the diver so that it cannot get lost. When a diver is drifting away, the distress call transmitter is switched on, the system begins to work, and his distance and direction with respect to the ship are displayed on the screen. Then, the rescue of the diver is initiated in a well-aimed manner.

Abstract: The mapping into a space of reduced dimensionality may be accomplished by a linear mapping algorithm, which may be the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm, or a variant thereof. The standardising transformation may be performed using a multiple linear regression algorithm. Alternatively, the standardising transformation may be performed using a multiple non-linear regression algorithm, a restricted mathematical transformation or a neural network. The input pattern may comprise the response of an array of gas sensors or quantities related thereto. The response may be normalised before being inputted to the neural network, or mapped to a space of reduced dimensionality.
