Title: Power window apparatus with sensor failure detection
Inventor: TANAKA TAKESHI
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2000-10-31
Abstract: In a power window apparatus, an external force which develops at the time of catching foreign objects in a window is detected directly by a window frame sensor and indirectly by a motor  load  detection circuit.    Automatic window closing operation is disabled when the external force exceeds a first and a second predetermined levels of the window frame sensor and the motor load detection circuit, respectively.  When the window frame sensor fails, the window closing operation is disabled and a warning is provided at the time the external force detected by the load detection circuit reaches a third predetermined  level.   Alternatively,  the automatic window closing operation is disabled when the external force exceeds the first or the second predetermined levels of the window frame sensor or the motor load detection circuit, respectively.          When  the window  frame  sensor  fails,  the window closing operation is disabled and the warning is provided at the time the external force reaches the second predetermined level.  In each  case,  once  the  window  frame  sensor  fails,  the predetermined level used to determine a failure of the window frame  sensor may be  lowered  so  that  the window closing operation may be disabled earlier.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une plaquette de coupe rapportée (20) pour outil rotatif d'enlèvement de matière (10) comportant une face inférieure (22), une face supérieure (24) et une face latérale (26). L'arrête de coupe segmentée formée par l'intersection de la face supérieure (24) et de la face latérale (26) entre en contact avec la pièce à usiner pour enlever de la matière. Ladite arête comporte au moins deux parties décalées (30a-c) produisant lors de la coupe des segments de copeaux distincts séparés transversalement. Les parties décalées de l'arête (30a-c) sont reliées par des zones de transition (30d-e) formant avec lesdites parties décalées un angle obtus tendant à étaler les différents segments de copeaux pendant l'usinage et à amincir les parties du copeau reliant les différents segments. La totalité de l'arête de coupe est incurvée hélicoïdalement de manière à être circonscrite dans le cylindre engendré par la rotation de l'arête autour de l'axe de la fraise.

Abstract: A power system is disclosed which can be applied to lighting or other end use applications systems for maintaining normal lighting conditions with conventional lighting fixtures and other end use electrical power applications requiring DC  electrical power. The power system includes a power control means for receiving AC  alternating current electrical power from a source and alternatively DC power from a source and for delivering the required regulated low voltage DC electrical power to voltage matched lamp or lamps within the lighting fixture or to at least one DC compatible end-use device load. The power control means converts the AC electrical power to DC voltage regulated electrical power. The power control means also combines the converted AC  voltage with an alternative DC power source in service to the at least one DC compatible load. The power control means alters the converted DC output voltage as a means for controlling power delivered by the alternative DC power source. The power control means supports electrical load or loads with or without an alternative DC power source in service to the at least one DC compatible load. Still further, the power control is also capable of making a shared contribution of power from the AC power source and the alternative source of DC electrical power and has a voltage regulated power junction means for delivering the low voltage DC electrical power to the lighting fixtures or other end use application.

Title: A control architecture using a multi-layer embedded signal status protocol
Inventor: DIETZ PHILIP SIDNEY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-06-09
Granted: 2005-03-29
Abstract: Distributed switch fabrics can support multiple switching functions while meeting established performance requirements by using a control architecture based on multiple layers of signal status carried within signals transported through the distributed switch fabrics. More specifically, a method and apparatus is provided for controlling the selection of signals through distributed switch fabrics by deriving signal status information for the signals at any point along a transmission path and embedding the signal status information in each of the signals using multiple signal status layers. Each of the signals carries its respective signal status information as it propagates along the transmission path, so that the embedded signal status information can be selectively extracted from any of the multiple signal status layers to facilitate a selection decision at any of the distributed switch fabrics. The multiple layers of signal status can be used to provide a cumulative signal status of a particular signal as it propagates along the transmission path or the multiple layers can be used to support various combinations of status control, such as each layer being used to track a different level or type of status for the signal.

Granted: 2003-05-06
Abstract: A breast stabilization device includes a substantially rigid outer member and an inner member joined to the outer member. The inner member is configured to conform to the shape of the female breast. An opening is disposed through the outer and inner members, the opening being centered on the nipple/areolar complex of the breast and exposing at least a portion of the areola surrounding the nipple. A rigid rim may surround the periphery of the opening and may rise above the surface of the outer member. The device stabilizes the breast in an uncompressed or slightly expanded state to allow interventional and imaging procedures to be carried out without compressing the breast. The opening allows access to the breast through the areola and the rim allows one or more instruments to be attached thereto. A method of imaging a breast, according to the present invention, includes the steps of placing a generally breast shaped member on the breast, the breast shaped member having one or more imaging port therein; expanding the breast to come into intimate contact with the breast shaped member; and imaging the breast through the imaging port(s). The imaging step may be carried out by directing ultrasonic energy through the port(s).

Abstract: A method of constructing a frame for a filtering screen from a polymer material is described in which a wire frame reinforcement is wholly encapsulated during the frame moulding process so that two parallel spaced apart wires extend through each of the intersecting orthogonal ribs which define the open area of the frame across which the wirecloths are stretched. The surfaces of the frame in which the wirecloths are embedded are formed with ridges and the crests of the latter extend to different heights. The crests are softened by heating during the manufacturing process and the wirecloths stretched over the frame are forced into the softened crests after which the assembly is allowed to cool and cure. The frame is re-usable by stripping wirecloths from the top of the frame and fitting fresh wirecloths over the plastics material and heating the regions which are to encapsulate the fresh wirecloth.
