Title: Touch point identification algorithm for automatic clutch controller.
Inventor: SMEDLEY DANIEL GEORGE
IPC: F16D48/02
Filed: 1994-07-18
Abstract: This invention provides automatic and reliable determination of the touch point of a clutch controlled by an automatic clutch actuation controller. This invention determines the touch point upon power-up while idling the engine, with the transmission in neutral and an input shaft brake applied. The clutch actuation controller gradually engages the clutch so that the measured transmission input speed matches a reference speed signal preferably between 40% and 60% of the idle speed. If the actuation is slow enough, this reliably provides the degree of clutch engagement at a small torque matching the braking torque which is the touch point. If there is no previous knowledge of the touch point, the clutch is applied at a fast rate and an approximate touch point is determined, then the clutch is positioned below the approximate touch point and is again applied at a slow rate to more accurately ascertain the touch point. If there is previous knowledge of the touch point, the clutch is positioned just below the old touch point and is applied at a slow rate to determine a new touch point. The new and old touch points may be combined to determine the updated touch point. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for automatic adaptation of a charger and charger employed therefor
Inventor: WYSS PATRICK
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: The battery charging system has the mains supply rectified (1) and fed to a transformer unit providing the load voltage (Uc) for the battery. The unit has a switch (9) that is controlled by the output of a charge cycle monitoring stage (11) that responds to the load condition with a time period. A correction stage (19) provides a weighting factor dependent upon the battery load behaviour and this enables an optimal voltage (U11e) to be generated. The monitoring unit then controls the switch to provide accurate control. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is methods and devices which a surgeon may use to stabilize the beating heart during a surgical procedure on the heart. Pursuant to the invention, a stabilizing device is introduced through an opening in the chest and brought into contact with the beating heart. By contacting the heart with the device and by exerting a stabilizing force on the device, the motion of the heart caused by the contraction of the heart muscles is effectively eliminated such that the heart is stabilized and the site of the surgery moves only minimally if at all. Typically, in separate steps, the surgeon contacts the heart with the stabilizing means, assesses the degree of movement of the anastomosis site, and exerts a force on the stabilizing means such that the contraction of the beating heart causes orgy minimal excess motion at the surgery site. By fixing the position of the stabilizing means in a configuration where the motion of the beating heart is effectively eliminated, the surgeon is able to stabilize the beating heart for the duration of the procedure. The stabilizing means may be attached to a rigid support or may be attached to a semi-rigid support which is rendered motionless mechanically, chemically, or by human intervention. In certain preferred embodiments, the stabilizing means is affixed to a semi-rigid support which is caused to become rigid, by any of a variety of techniques, such that the position of the stabilizing means becomes fixed by the support, and the heart remains substantially motionless for the duration of the procedure. <IMAGE>

IPC: H01Q3/10

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted satellite signal receiving system adopting a satellite tracking system
combining gyro tracking and hybrid tracking is disclosed which can correct a sensitivity
coefficient for correcting a gyro sensor output signal to make up for a sensitivity error, even
when a drift is produced in the sensitivity error. In this system, gyro tracking is caused
when the received power level is above a threshold power level. The gyro tracking is done
by determining the angular velocity ω of an antenna as ω = -(ωG × ΔSB + ωG from a
value obtained by inverting the sign of the product of a gyro tracking angular velocity ωG
and a sensitivity coefficient ΔSB for dealing with the sensitivity error and a predetermined
offset error correction value ωG and setting the antenna to ω. When ΔSB is inaccurate
and a sensitivity error is generated in the gyro sensor output signal, the received power level
is reduced. When the received power level becomes lower than a threshold power level LB,
the sensitivity coefficient is corrected on the basis of the sense of the angular velocity ωS in
the hybrid tracking (step tracking) and in the gyro tracking.
