Title: Brake systems for motor vehicles
Inventor: DEML ULRICH
IPC: B60T13/74
Filed: 1997-09-12
Abstract: A brake system has, for each wheel brake, a disc brake including an electro-mechanical actuator 24, a caliper 23, and force sensors 27 for detecting circumferential force generated by the braking torque. Simulated pedal force signals derived from actuation of brake pedal (14, Fig. 1) pass along electric lines to a control unit (9) which controls power and control electronics (8) of the actuator to press brake linings 22 against the brake disc 21. The force sensors 27 feed back signals to the control unit 9 via the electronics 8. Independent brake circuits (16, 17) for the front and rear axles are each powered by a battery. A third control unit which supervises the two units 9 of the circuits may be provided. For anti-lock or driving-stability control, signals indicative of transverse acceleration or yaw angle velocity and wheel speeds are evaluated by the control units 9.

Title: Transport packet stream data separation
Inventor: NOMURA MAMORU
IPC: H04N21/434
Filed: 1998-05-28
Abstract: In a MPEG2 transport packet stream separating apparatus, a packet identification (PID) filter (1) extracts transport packets having a predetermined PID from a stream of transport packets. A section filter unit (2) determines whether a header portion of each of the extracted transport packets is coincident with a reference data (5,6,7), and receives a section of each of the extracted transport packets to output regardless of coincidence or discrepancy between the header portion of each of the extracted transport packets and the reference data. Also, the section filter unit generates a reset signal when it is determined that the header portion of each of the extracted transport packets is not coincident with the reference data. An interface unit (3) receives the section data from the section filter unit, and stores the received section in a storage unit (20) while updating a write address from a start address. Also, the interface unit resets the write address to the start address in response to the reset signal. When first and second halves of the header portion are contained in adjacent transport packets, storage (11) only of the comparison result is required and a stack buffer is unnecessary.

Title: Cardiopulmonary bypass system
IPC: A61M1/14
Filed: 1974-12-03
Abstract: An emergency alertable gravity feed cardiopulmonary bypass system is disclosed in which a blood volume responsive transducer is utilized in returning oxygenated blood to a human circulatory system at a pumping rate corresponding to venous drainage or selected norms. The transducer is coupled to a standpipe and is responsive to a confined gas volume therein related to the blood volume in a first air evacuable, gravity fed, collapsible bag and is coupled to a rate setting control. Blood flow from the first bag is directed by a control responsive oxygenation pump through a membrane oxygenator and heat exchanger and air evacuable collapsible bag and a main pump before return to the patient. The oxygenation pump rate slaved to the main pump is greater than the gravity feed rate, and a pressure relieving conduit recirculates excess blood flow from the second bag to the first bag. Supervisory control of the flow rate of the main pump may be exercised by manual adjustment of the flow rate.
