Abstract: This invention relates to an above knee prothesis which employs a hydraulic damper to passively regulate the angular velocity or rotation of the artificial knee joint. A programmed microprocessor recognizes common gait patterns from information received from strain and knee angle sensors on the prosthesis. The microprocessor reacts at various transition points in the gait by activating a motor which in turn adjusts a valve assembly in the damper. The valve assembly is capable of variably and separately damping the knee joint motion in each of flexion and extension at the same time. Gait is improved because of the improved extent of control of knee action. In addition, distinct routines such as stair descending and sitting down can also be practised.

Abstract: A graphical system resource monitor is provided to depict, in real-time, a data processing system's internal resource utilisation. A window or viewport 120 of a data processing system displays user specified internal system resources, such as memory, CPU, or peripheral device availability/utilisation. This graphical representation of the 'state' of the data processing system's resources is maintained in real-time, while the impact on the system's performance in providing such information is kept to a minimum. This is accomplished through a combination of various techniques, including specialized device drivers for the respective devices coupled with a unique data reduction technique. The graphical results of these resource monitors are continually updated in real-time. Absolute minimum and maximum values are similarly graphically depicted to enhance usability, and calibrate a user to the graphical information being presented. This real-time support provides an immediate and accurate representation of the internal operations of the data processing system. Further, these resources can be monitored at the process level of a multiprocessing system. These representations can be used by a user to identify, isolate, and fine-tune the data processing system's resources to improve the overall efficiency of the system being monitored, as the values being monitored, and their respective variables, can be dynamically modified by a user of the system.

Abstract: A compensating transistor (Q5) is connected in series with the collector of a main transistor (Q3), and a level shifted replica (Vin + V1) of an input signal (Vin) is applied to the base of the compensating transistor (Q5) to maintain a constant voltage difference between the base and collector of the main transistor (Q3) and compensate for base width modulation ΔVce. A voltage-controlled current source (S1) is responsive to the input signal (Vin) and applies a compensating current ΔIload which is equal and opposite to the load current variation caused by a change (ΔVin) in the input voltage (Vin) to the emitter of the main transistor (Q3) to compensate for load current modulation ΔVbe. Alternatively, the compensating current can be applied to the junction of the base of the main transistor (Q3) and the emitter of pre-distortion transistor (Q4) which has a base connected to receive the input signal (Vin). Another compensating transistor (Q12) applies a current (ΔIb) which is equal and opposite to a non-linear base current variation to the emitter or collector of the main transistor (Q3) to compensate for current gain modulation ΔIb. The modulation compensation arrangements are applicable to common-collector, common-base and common emitter amplifiers in single-ended and differential configurations, and to substantially all bipolar and field-effect transistor technologies.

Abstract: A flyback converter comprises a first (6) and a second (8) switching transistor, a first (10) and a second (12) rectifier diode, and a primary winding (14) of a transformer, which parts are connected in a bridge arrangement. The first switching transistor (6) receives its drive by positive feedback  via  a secondary winding (30), a coupling capacitor (36) and a series resistor (38, 40). Upon commutation of the voltage on the secondary winding (30) the first switching transistor (6) is turned off, a discharge diode (44) providing a discharge path for the coupling capacitor (36) in order to achieve that the first switching transistor (6) is turned on more rapidly in the next switching cycle. However, the discharge diode (44) limits the cut-off voltage on the control electrode of the first switching transistor (6), so that turning off proceeds comparatively slowly. This effect is eliminated by means of a voltage source (46, 48, 52) and a further switching transistor (54) which is turned on upon commutation. The further switching transistor (54) then produces a higher cut-off voltage on the control electrode of the first switching transistor (6), as a result of which the first switching transistor (6) is turned off more rapidly.
