Abstract: A device for causing the steering wheel of a video-based vehicle simulator to selectively vibrate during predetermined periods of the video sequence includes a frame which is rigidly attached to the steering wheel. A cylindrical electrical motor is mounted on the frame, and a first shaft is attached to one base of the motor and extends outwardly from the motor. Also, a second shaft is attached to and extends outwardly from the other base of the motor, and the second shaft is coaxial with the first shaft. The two shafts can be rotated by the rotor of the motor. Each shaft has a weight attached to the shaft. These weights are attached to their respective shafts radially asymmetrically with respect to the axis of the shafts. One weight is attached to its shaft on one side of the axis of the shafts, and the other weight is attached to its shaft on the side of the axis which is opposite from the first weight. A microprocessor is electrically connected to the motor to selectively energize the motor during predetermined periods of the game sequence. When the motor is energized, the rotation of the weights causes the motor to vibrate. The vibration of the motor is transferred through the frame to the steering wheel.

Abstract: Two edge detectors (12, 13) at the input (10.1) and at the output (10.2) of a delay line (10) of the edge detector arrangement (11) generate detection signals with identical shape at the detected signal edges of a signal passing through the delay line. The delay time of the delay line is selected in such a manner that the two detection signals partially overlap in time. A subtracting arrangement (16) generates from the two detection signals a difference signal which contains in the overlap region a zero crossing which can be detected by a zero crossing detector (17). At the time of this zero crossing, the zero crossing detector generates the switching edge of an edge detection signal which, for example, controls a signal switch (9). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A switch is disclosed comprising a base (1) having therein an elongate first channel (5). A second channel (8) is connected at opposite ends to the first channel and is separated therefrom by an island (9). A rotor member movable on the base has a latch structure pivotally mounted thereon. The latch includes a peg which projects from the latch into one or other of the channels to follow the channel as the rotor is moved relative to the base. The latch structure also includes a wiper arranged to engage the island to divert the peg from the first channel into one end of the second channel in one direction of movement of the rotor. When the peg is in the second channel, it is prevented from re-entering the first channel by moving in a direction opposite to that in which it entered the second channel, thereby preventing the member from moving in the opposite direction. As an ignition switch for a motor vehicle, return to the START position can thus be prevented until the switch has first returned to the OFF position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low blocking packet distribution network (23) which is implemented in optics has both switch links and chute links, and the network nodes (e.g.30) include both a switching means (40) interconnecting successive stage switch links and a plurality of non-switching, chute connection means (50) interconnecting successive stage chute links. A network node can transfer a packet, being received on a switch link, to any selected one of the chute connection means of that node for transmission on a chute link. The network nodes are relatively simple and inexpensive because they store only the first few bits needed to route an ATM cell. The blocking probability is further reduced when the number of chutes per node is increased. The number of chutes may be based, for example, on the number of switch link inputs per node. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A telescopic gun sight 8 is clamped to a mount 3 which is mounted on a base 5 for limited relative sliding movement fore and aft of the barrel of a rifle 7, to which the base 5 is secured. Resilient bushes 1 of elastomeric material are disposed within bores 2 in the mount 3, and fixing bolts 6 pass through the bushes 1 to clamp the mount 3 to the base 5. The resilience of the bushes 1 allows the mount 3 to move slightly relative to the base 5, and returns the mount 3 to its original datum position after such movement. In this way, shocks that may otherwise damage the sight 8 and/or shift its position relative to the barrel of the rifle 7 may be absorbed - particularly recoil shocks upon firing. In other embodiments, relative movement of the mount 3 relative to a base 5 is possible in more than one direction, thereby to absorb shocks in other directions, as may be caused by, for example, accidental knocks. <IMAGE>
