Inventor: JUHASZ PAUL ROBERT
IPC: F16F15/027
Filed: 1990-07-26
Abstract: A force modulating device, for use as a force modulating member (610) of a ski device, in which a first member (200) thereof is movably interconnected with a body member (100) of the force modulating device and disposed therebetween is fluid pressure means for floating the first member with respect to the body member and controlling the relative movement between such two members. The controlled movement of the first member relative to the body member provided by the fluid pressure means (300) causes impact forces that are imparted to a ski device incorporating the present invention to be so modulated as to allow for good ski performance in terms of spring-action, smooth ride, handling, and service life. The fluid pressure medium of the fluid pressure means can be a gas, a liquid or a combination gas and liquid. The fluid pressure means can be provided with means for communicating with a fluid pressure supply source, permitting external manual or automatic adjustments or changes to the fluid pressure means so as to optimize the force modulating capability of the ski device for a particular user load and use.

Abstract: Ce procédé permet d'enregistrer des signaux de télévision en couleurs dans une mémoire numérique. Dans les dispositifs connus, les signaux de couleur sont d'abord démodulés, avant d'être enregistrés dans une mémoire, puis modulés à nouveau lorsqu'ils ont été lus dans la mémoire, ce qui requiert une grande quantité de circuits. Selon l'invention, le vecteur couleurs est enregistré avec la giclée de signaux de couleur, qui sert de fréquence de référence pour un circuit de réglage des phases agencé en aval de la mémoire. Cette fréquence de référence est comparée avec la giclée des signaux de couleur de l'image principale. Ce procédé est utile pour la reproduction d'images dans des images dans des postes récepteurs de télévision en couleurs.

Abstract: Méthode et appareil (10) pour le stockage d'informations numériques dans une structure de mémoire dense. Un substrat semi-conducteur (12) est doté d'une couche mince d'isolation (14). Une couche de stockage de charges diélectrique (16) est réalisée sur ladite couche d'isolation (14). Un bras en porte-à-faux piézoélectrique bimorphe (30) présente un bout (32) à son extrémité libre permettant d'accéder à certains emplacements de mémoire définis par des zones de stockage de charges (40, 42, 44) et disposées dans la couche de stockage de charges (16). Afin d'introduire des informations sous forme de charges dans un emplacement de mémoire, le bout (32) se met en contact avec la surface de ladite couche de stockage de charges (16) ou à proximité de celle-ci. Un champ électrique est appliqué entre ledit bout (32) et le substrat (12) de manière à inciter des charges à tunneler à travers la couche d'isolation mince (14) vers la couche de stockage de charges (16) où les charges sont stockées en tant que charges captées. On fait sortir les informations d'un emplacement de stockage en écartant le bout (32) du bras en porte-à-faux (30) à une distance (d) de la surface de la couche de stockage de charges (16), et en appliquant un champ électrique entre ledit bout (32) et le substrat (12). On mesure ensuite la force capacitive se manifestant audit bout (32) de manière à déterminer la quantité de charge stockée dans ledit emplacement de mémoire. Dans une autre réalisation, on dépose une charge directement sur la surface d'une seule couche d'isolation. Des emplacements de charges sont placés dans des pistes circulaires disposées dans un substrat rotatif (52) de manière à créer un réseau de mémoire de haute densité (50). Des emplacements de charges sont également aménagés dans des pistes linéaires en réalisant des couches alternantes de couches de substrat conductrices (62) et nn conductrices (64) sur lesquelles sont réalisées des couches d'isolation minces (68) et des couches de stockage de charges (70).

Abstract: The contour accuracy of positioning systems which have an input system (A,M) and an output system (L) is also affected by the elasticity (F) acting between the motor (M) and the load (L). A contour error arising from this can be determined by control technology from the elasticity constant (KF), the moment of inertia of the load (JL), and the angular acceleration (dw/dt) and excluded by compensation in a control system. The torque due to gravitation can likewise be compensated in advance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus and an associated method are described for an aircraft for providing an auto-changeover procedure from a calibrated airspeed control parameter to a Mach number control parameter when the aircraft is ascending and from a Mach number control parameter to a calibrated airspeed parameter when the aircraft is descending. The auto-changeover procedure is responsive to application of preselected calibrated airspeed and Mach number parameters. The data processing unit of the aircraft provides a continually updated prediction of the target parameter that would result should the aircraft execute the auto-changeover under the currently existing conditions. When the predicted value and the preselected value are equal, the changeover procedure is invoked, reducing the transients resulting from overshoot of the target parameter value. Provision is made for the circumstance when the changeover is determined by an altitude rather than a target parameter. Approximation equations for reducing the computational requirements are discussed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid integrated circuit device provided with an active filter. The active filter is constructed mainly from a rectifier circuit, a reactor with one terminal connected with an output terminal of the rectifier, a switching element connected with one terminal of the reactor and a smoothing condenser connected with the other terminal of the reactor. The active filter is mounted on an insulating metal substrate and has, other than the above feature, a specific circuit structure wherein the substrate is divided by a ground pattern or power supply pattern into two blocks. One block is for a large current circuit such as the rectifier circuit, the switching element, and a diode and another block for a small signal circuit such as a control circuit. The hybrid integrated circuit device is of remarkably compact size. Also, it is greatly superior in a noise performance because switching noise does not flow into the chassis of electronic equipment from the metal substrate and the control circuit is shielded from the noise produced by the large current circuit, and also because the noise caused by wiring inductance can be limited.

Abstract: The vacuum furnace (1) contains a thermally insulated treatment chamber (5), in which the workpieces are arranged on a charge support (30) inside the useful space (27). Outside the treatment chamber, there is a blower (19) for gas circulation and a heat exchanger (26) for gas cooling. The workpieces are heated by heating pipes (31) which are arranged around the useful space inside the treatment chamber. The heating pipes serve simultaneously as gas supply pipes in the convective heating of the workpieces and the subsequent gas chilling. To this end, the gas supply pipes are provided in the region of the useful space with radial openings (32). The furnace guarantees a particularly homogeneous chilling of the workpieces in the entire useful space by an intermediate bottom (10) with a central gas passage opening (11) for optimising the flow conditions and by the possibility of blowing onto the workpieces simultaneously radially and axially, it being possible periodically to change the direction of the axial blowing. To this end, the gas supply pipes are equipped with additional gas outlet openings (34, 35) and closure elements (36, 37) and the walls of the treatment chamber are provided with closable gas outlet openings (13, 15). <IMAGE>
