Abstract: The switch (20) comprises a casing (22) with a shaft (26) rotatable therein and an insulating carriage (66) rotatable with the shaft (26). A contactor (106) is mounted on and rotatable with the carriage (66) to a central OFF position and a series of circuit closing positions spaced both clockwise and counterclockwise therefrom. The contactor (106) is engagable with fixed contacts (122-125) mounted on an insulating terminal head (24). A vacuum valve (130) is operable by a cam (98) rotatable with the contactor. The valve includes stationary and moveable valve members. The stationary valve member has a vacuum source port and a vacuum utilization port (63). A third port is also provided. The movable valve member is moveable along a slideway on the stationary valve member. An elastomeric sealing member is received in a recess in the slideway and is formed with portions connected to the source and utilization ports. The moveable valve member has a valve surface which is slidable along the sealing member between first and second positions. The valve surface includes port structures for connecting the utilization port (63) to the source port in the first position of the moveable valve member, while connecting the utilization port (63) to the third port in the second position of the moveable valve member. As disclosed, the third port communicates with the atmosphere. The cam (98) has portions for moving the moveable valve member between its first and second positions in both directions, and other portions for locking the valve member against unwanted movement in various positions of the cam. The cam (98) coordinates the operation of the moveable valve member with the operation of the contactor (106).

Abstract: A domestic, through-floor, vertical lift (10) is adapted for use by persons with limited mobility, the lift (10) being of a type serving only two floors and comprising a car (12) adapted and arranged to ascend and descend vertically between the two floors. The car (12) is lightweight and comprises a chassis (16) engaging rails (14) at the back of the car (12) only. Side panels (18) and a floor panel (20) are assembled to each other and to the chassis (16) by interlocking flanges and are held togther by pre-loaded struts (36, 38, 68) in end-to-end compression. 
     To brake the car (12) from runaway descent, a cord (138) extends up from the car (12) to a low speed governor (144) with a winder (142) which stops unwinding the cord (138) when the descent speed is too fast. The resultant pull on the cord 138 causes it to pull two toothed brake segments (114) into the "on" position, so that their teeth (120) bite into the guide rails (14) to stop the car. 
     With a mains supply failure to the primary motor 184, a battery-driven secondary motor (192) is arranged to be connected by a clutch (202) to take over from the primary motor (184) and the primary motor brake (210) is released.

Abstract: An abnormality detecting device detects without error whether each of a plurality of electric/electronic parts is in an abnormal state, regardless of fluctuations in a power source voltage. The fetching of drive voltages of N (e.g., N=6) solenoids in order is carried out M (e.g., M=2) times. A maximum value of minimum values of the drive voltages of the solenoids, among the drive voltages fetched M times for each solenoid, is computed and set as a reference voltage V REF  for abnormality judgment. Maximum values of the drive voltages of the solenoids are computed and set as drive voltages V SOLX  of the solenoids to be used for abnormality judgment. It is judged whether each of the solenoids is in an abnormal state, on the basis of the reference voltage V REF  and the drive voltage V SOLX  of each solenoid.

Abstract: The method involves passing the input speech through a preprocessor into a speech processing unit, where it is subjected to a speech recognition process. The preprocessor extracts characteristics from the input speech, segments and classifies it according to the energy content, and only passes the segments whose energy content exceeds a defined or adaptively determined threshold. Each segment whose energy content exceeds the threshold is finally investigated, and classified as to whether it is derived from a speech or non-speech signal. Only those segments derived from speech signals are processed further.

Abstract: More than one (for example, 2 3 =8) interpolation area is set for data  x , and output image data Y at the start end x(i) of each interpolation area is expressed using a proportional component  X  of the data  x  and an offset component Y(i) from the proportional component  X . Input data positioned at somewhere in the interpolation area other than the start end is computed as        Y=X+Y(i)+ΔY         , where ΔY is a variation of the offset component Y(i) corresponding to a distance Δx from the start end x(i) to the input data. Since an interpolation data register only has to store the offset components Y(i), Y(i+1), ···, the number of levels can be increased while a capacity of the interpolation data register remains substantially the same. Consequently, it has become possible to increase the number of levels in a level correcting circuit for generating output image data through γ correction while maintaining the circuit size.

Abstract: A data conversion apparatus is provided for reading a document for a display screen and generating a display image for another display screen which has a different aspect ratio from the former display screen, where the document is composed of control statements written along with character strings or image information. The data conversion apparatus obtains the document from an external unit and converts the character strings and the image information in the document into display image elements based on conversion information. The data conversion apparatus judges whether a storage includes a blank for storing the display image elements at an appropriate position based on the conversion information. The data conversion apparatus writes the display image elements into the blank if it judges that the storing unit includes the blank; the data conversion apparatus assigns a new storage area in the storage and writes the display image elements into the new storage area if it judges that the storing unit does not include the blank.
