Patent EP-0836735-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROSENBERG LOUIS B
IPC: G09B9/28
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for interfacing the motion of an object (18) with a digital processing system (250) includes a sensor (14, 110) for detecting movement of the object (18) along a degree of freedom. A passive pneumatic or hydraulic damper (12, 108) is coupled to the object (18) to provide a damping resistance to the object (18) along the degree of freedom and resist a movement of the object (18). The damping resistance is provided by regulating the control of a fluid with a digital computing apparatus (52), thus providing a low-cost, low-power force-feedback interface that is safe for the user. The damper (12, 108) and sensor (14, 110) provide an electromechanical interface (10) between the object (18) and the electrical system. A gimbal or other interface mechanism can be coupled between the damper (12, 108) and the object (18). The interface is well suited for simulations or video games in which an object such as a joystick is moved and manipulated by the user.

Abstract: A double helix antenna comprised of orthogonally-wound helix conductors is disclosed. The double helix antenna system includes a first helix conductor wound in a first direction about a vertical axis of the double helix antenna. A second helix conductor is wound in a second direction about the longitudinal axis. In a specific implementation, the first and second helix conductors are of different lengths, respectively corresponding to first and second frequency bands. Additionally, the first and second helix conductors are wound so as to be orthogonal at those horizontal planes within which the first and second helix conductors intersect or are otherwise minimally separated in the horizontal dimension. This orthogonal winding relationship between the helix conductors substantially reduces mutual coupling, thus enabling operation of separate helical antennas in close physical proximity. In a particular application, the double helix antenna system is incorporated within a portable communications device.

Abstract: A method of determining carbon content of a heat during an oxygen blow into a BOF vessel. The light intensity emitted from the BOF vessel is measured by measuring an (ILI) value indicative of an increase, and a (DLI) value indicative of a decrease in light intensity emitted from the vessel, and calculating a DLI/ILI ratio. The amount of oxygen blown into the vessel is measured and the in-blow % carbon content of the heat is calculated using the ratio and the amount of oxygen blown. The oxygen blow into the vessel is stopped when the calculated carbon content is equal to an aim carbon for the heat, and the heat is then tapped for further processing into a finished steel product. Also claimed are a further two methods of determining carbon content of a heat during an oxygen blow into a BOF vessel. Also claimed are two apparatus for determining in-blow % carbon content in a BOF vessel. Also claimed is a light meter.

Abstract: An electrically operated trigger valve for a fuel injection pump comprises a valve member (2) secured to an armature (3) to form an armature and valve member assembly. The valve member (2) is slidably mounted in a bore (4) and controls communication between the fuel inlet (5) and a fuel outlet (6). In use, the valve is maintained in its closed position by energising a stator coil (8) to attract the armature (3). When the stator is de-energised the armature and valve member assemblies moved in the valve opening direction by a valve opening spring (10). The length of the valve opening spring (10) is such that when the valve (2) is in the fully open position a gap (Y) exists between one end of the opening spring (10) and its adjacent seat (11). Accordingly, initial movement of the armature and valve member assembly in the closing position, upon subsequent energisation of the stator coil (8), is not opposed by the spring (10) until the gap (Y) has been eliminated by initial movement of the armature (3). This arrangement reduces the initial stator current necessary to produce movement of the armature and valve member assembly. It also permits a relatively stiff opening spring (10) to be used, thereby reducing the impact with which the valve member (2) engages the seat (7) upon closing, and producing a rapid initial movement in the opening direction after de-energisation of the stator coil (8).

Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument which has an elongated staple cartridge and
anvil is disclosed. The anvil is movable relative to the cartridge from rearward to
forward positions for insertion of tissue between these two components and clamping
the tissue, respectively. A pair of spaced-apart ribs protrude from the anvil, and when
the anvil is moved from its rearward to forward positions, these ribs are received into
and slide within a groove embedded on the surface of the cartridge. In this manner,
misalignment of the anvil and cartridge when tissue is being clamped is prevented or
appreciably reduced, therefore reducing the chances of misforming the staples when
the instrument is fired. The alignment features also act as tissue abutment surfaces to
prevent the migration of tissue into a region where tissue is transected but not stapled.

Abstract: An extrusion product or profile is formed by
extrusion of a cellular compound to form a base (10;36;
54;74;84) and then subsequent extrusion of a non-cellular
compound to form an attached flexible strip
(22;38;60;70;80). The final product or profile is used
as a garage door weatherstrip in which the cellular
base is mounted against the door jamb and the strip of
flexible non-cellular material extends out from the
cellular base to prevent the flow of air through
openings between doors and adjacent jambs or frames. 
     The process for forming such a product involves
sequential extrusion of the two portions of the
product. First, a cellular base is extruded through a
die (8) and vacuum sizer and allowed to cool. Next, a
saddle die (28) is used to apply the flexible non-cellular
strip to a portion of the cellular base.
