Abstract: A technique for enhancing the modifiability and reuse of telecommunications software systems is described. The problem domain is first partitioned into tasks that are assigned to distinct software program modules (901, 902). In one embodiment, each of the software modules (901, 902) have multiple output ports (911, 912). Each output port (911, 912) provides a mechanism to link the software module (901, 902) to a specific version of a different program module (903, 904). The multiple output ports are used to selectively link the module to one of several versions of a different program module. The linking is performed as early as system design time or as late as run-time, or at any intermediate time between the two. The use of output ports makes software modules less dependent on each other and also simplifies the 'hot-swapping' or dynamic replacement of one module by another at run-time. In an alternative embodiment, each of the software modules (800) has a unitary output port (802) where each output port comprises an array of linking records. Each linking record has as many linking variables as there are versions of the receiving module.

Abstract: A mass fluid flow controller has a valve which is controlled by a controller rod structure which is substantially pivotally mounted on a metallic diaphragm which stretches and unstretches with the movement of the rod structure. The actuation of the rod structure is by the expansion and contraction of an actuator wire which is heated for the expansion and allowed to cool for the contraction. The primary fluid flow path through the controller is straight. A sensor conduit, providing a parallel sensor fluid flow path, is connected in position using metallic sealer members which extend in openings to the primary fluid flow path and which are rounded along the direction through such openings. The pressure drop, along the primary fluid flow path, to create flow through the sensor conduit, is provided by a fluid flow restrictor having a core and having lengths of wire along the core which are squeezed between the core and a tapered fluid flow path wall in the vicinity of the sensor conduit input and output connections. A spherical or a conical shape may be used for the form of the core. A valve seat bushing is mounted in pipe structure providing the primary fluid flow path by applying a force against an end surface of the bushing, with movement of the bushing blocked, in order to deform the end surface, push the outer wall of the bushing against the inner wall of the pipe structure, and fix the bushing in the pipe structure. In the relationship between the controller rod structure and a ball which acts as a gate-member for the valve, an elongated stem rod having a sleeve about it may be used in fixing the ball to the controller rod structure. The stem rod may be mounted by fixing it to the elongated sleeve, a distance from the gate-member side of the controller rod structure that is substantially greater than the distance of the position of the ball from the gate-member side of the controller rod structure.

Abstract: A method of detecting the pinching of an object of
a power window apparatus for obtaining an accurate motor
torque value dealing with a fluctuation in the ambient
temperature and reducing an error at the time of detecting
the pinching of an object without using a temperature sensor
is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a window
opening/closing motor 4, a motor driving unit 3, a pulse
generating unit 5, an MCU 2, and an operation switch 1. A
base value, a tolerance value and a reference value as an
addition value of the base value and the tolerance value
are set for each of a plurality of regions obtained by
dividing the whole window travel range. The MCU 2 detects
a motor torque at the time of opening and closing the window
and compares the motor torque with the reference value
preset for the travel region. When the motor torque exceeds
the reference value, the MCU 2 determines the presence of
the pinching of an object and stops or reverses the driving
of the motor 4. The MCU 2 calculates a correction factor
from the motor torque and the base value every travel region
and uses a corrected reference value obtained by
multiplying the reference value of the next travel region
by the correction factor when the motor torque is compared
with the reference value in the next travel region.

Abstract: Low-cost complex plastic optics allow biocular
viewing of video images generated by a single electro-optic
display device, such as in a head-mounted display
(HMD) for commercial or medical viewing applications.
A dual off-axis configuration uses nearly collimated
illumination optics and intermediate imaging optics to
fill both eyepieces from a single display device
without the need for a beamsplitter. Multiple
illumination schemes are provided for either monochrome
or color, and in either two-dimensional or time-sequential
true stereographic presentation. Light from
multicolor sources is superimposed, mixed, and
homogenized by mixing light cones with diffractive
collectors. Offsetting color overcorrection and
undercorrection of individual optical elements achieves
overall chromatic correction with minimal optical
element complexity. A wireless video signal interface
eliminates excess cabling. Additional features include
lightweight achromatic eyepiece construction and
interchangeable lenslets for peripheral vision
correction. Multiple optical elements are injection-molded
as a unitary plastic structure, thereby reducing
cost and complexity.
