Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector for power applications,
the connector comprising: a) an insulative housing (76), b) a plurality
of cavities (84, 86, 88) disposed in said insulative housing defined by a
series of housing walls, and c) a power contact (10) disposed in each one of
said plurality of cavities (84, 86), said power contact (10) comprising a pair
of opposed contact walls defined by a first planar panel (28), a second planar
panel (30), a medial space between the first planar panel and the second
planar panel, a first flexible beam (18) adjoining the first planar panel
(30), a second flexible beam (20) adjoining the second planar panel (28),
and separated contact terminals (32, 34, 36, 38) that each extend from the
first planar panel (28) and the second planar panel (30) in a direction perpendicular
to the first flexible beam (18) and the second flexible beam (20). 
     The first and second flexible beams (18, 20) define a heat flow path therebetween,
heat dissipation can occur from the heat flow path defined between
the first flexible beam (18) and the second flexible beam (20), and at
least one of the first planar panel (30) and the second planar panel (28) is
spaced from an adjacent housing wall such that heat dissipation can also
occur from an exterior contact surface.

Abstract: In a solenoid valve 10, an annular oil groove 66 is formed at a portion corresponding to a spring chamber 56 on the external surface of a sleeve 19, a drain passage 68 is formed to make an upper part of the annular oil groove 66 communicate with the outside of an insertion bore 61, and a throttle hole 67 is provided at a lower part of the annular oil groove 66 for making the annular oil groove 66 communicate with the spring chamber 56. Since the annular oil groove 66 communicates with the outside of the insertion bore 61 at its upper part through the drain passage 68, it can be realized to store the operating oil to the height of the upper part of the annular oil groove 66, so that the operating oil can be reserved in the spring chamber 56 which communicates with the annular oil groove through the throttle hole 67. Further, the operating oil is supplied from a feedback port 48 next to the spring chamber 56 through a clearance between the spool valve 19 and a valve hole 18. Thus, the solenoid valve 10 is able to secure the damping effect of the working oil on the spool valve 19 and a plunger 17 and to suppress the self oscillation even while being operated in the atmosphere for a long time.

Abstract: A media center operating mode selection control method and system is proposed, which is designed for use with a media center system to provide an easy-to-use operating mode selection control procedure, which is characterized by the provision of all possible operating modes (i.e., various manners of interlinking between media source devices and media display devices connected to the media center system) in a mapping table, and the provision of a press button that can be repeatedly pressed by the user to cyclically switch through all the available operating modes. Compared to the prior art, this method of user operation is significantly easier to implement without requiring the user to get familiar with technical jargons and involve in complicated user operation procedures, and is therefore more user-friendly and advantageous to use than prior art.

Abstract: In a communications system, multi-rate coding in
accordance with the invention is implemented to generate
multiple representations of an audio signal at different
rates. These representations contain equivalent and/or
various amounts of audio information. In an illustrative
embodiment, at least one of the representations is a core
representation containing core audio information. The
remaining representations are enhancement representations
containing enhancement audio information. The core
representation is necessary for recovering the audio signal
with minimal acceptable quality. Such quality is enhanced
when the core representation, together with one or more of
the enhancement representations, is used to recover the
audio signal.

Abstract: An early warning system for a tractor operator engaged in towing or pushing an aircraft
includes two ultrasonic sensors (106,108) that are used to create a detection area in which the aircraft
should be present when the steering angle is well within a safe range. When one of the
detectors fails to detect the presence of the aircraft, then the operator is alerted, before over
steering can occur, in order that corrective action can be undertaken. Accordingly, complex
distance measuring algorithms can be avoided as can the requirement that an aircraft fuselage
have a specially modified detection region.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire is molded by using a vulcanizing mold in which blades 20, each composed of a metal thin plate having an inclined portion 20a in the depth direction and a plurality of through holes 20G with the same sectional form as that of projections to be formed in the sipe in the inclined portion 20a are buried in a groove portion corresponding to the tire block of the vulcanizing mold, thereby forming 3D sipes having unevenness in the radial direction of the block and a plurality of pairs of projections in the inclined portion in the block of the tire. Thereby, when longitudinal force is applied to the tire, adjacent small blocks of the block come into close contact with each other only at the positions of the projections of the 3D sipes, thereby making it possible to ensure the block stiffness of the pneumatic tire 10 without reducing the drainage function.
