Title: Automatic transmission hot mode management
Inventor: VUKOVICH WILLIAM JOSEPH
IPC: F16H61/14
Filed: 1996-05-28
Abstract: A multi-ratio automatic transmission (16) has a plurality of fluid operated clutching devices, a fluidic torque converter (14) and a fluid operated torque converter clutch mechanism. During certain operational periods, a hot mode is invoked to eliminate certain heat sources and increase heat dissipation to thereby prevent the fluid temperature from exceeding a predetermined maximum temperature (Tmax). The hot mode is invoked as a function of both the temperature of the transmission fluid (TRANTEMP) and the rate of change of the fluid temperature (DELTEMP).

IPC: H02P6/16
Filed: 1996-03-28
Abstract: A circuit and method for controlling a switched reluctance drive having at least one phase winding and a rotor position encoder that provides a set of signals corresponding to the absolute position of the rotor relative to the stator. The circuit monitors the set of signals and generates a high frequency clock signal having a frequency substantially proportional to the frequency at which the set of signals changes state. The high frequency clock signal comprises a number of digital pulses for each rotor revolution that is an integral multiple of the number of digital pulses from the rotor position transducer for each rotor revolution and corresponds to the incremental position of the rotor. The high frequency clock signal is applied to a counter that is reset upon each change in state of the set of signals. The output of the counter is compared to predetermined values and the at least one phase winding is energised and de-energised in response to the results of the comparison.

Abstract: A video scan converter has a deflickering circuit that attenuates spatial frequency components that combine high vertical spatial frequency with low horizontal spatial frequency. The resulting signal is converted from progressive scanning to interlaced scanning by appropriate selection of even and odd horizontal scanning lines. The deflickering circuit may also expand a selected part of the video signal by vertical interpolation, followed by vertical low-pass filtering, in which case a separate horizontal interpolating circuit expands the selected part horizontally, preferably after progressive-to-interlaced scan conversion.

IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1997-05-09
Abstract: Error recovery is provided for isochronous data ("isodata") obtained from a data stream. Isodata transport packets are monitored to locate isodata presentation time stamps (PTSs). The presentation of isodata from a buffer is synchronized to a system time clock (STC) using timing information derived from the PTSs. Discontinuity errors between said isodata transport packets are identified and, if a discontinuity of no more than one packet is identified, a write pointer of the buffer is advanced by a suitable number of bits to compensate for the discontinuity, while maintaining the synchronization of the presentation with respect to the STC. Additional error detection and recovery techniques are disclosed, including the maintenance of a presentation unit counter, the use of a PTS extension and PTS offset to verify output timing, the provision of a pair of PTS pointers verifying correct output data timing, the use of a packet elementary stream (PES) count to detect lost data in the transport stream, and the detection and discarding of packets designated as encrypted after any decryption should have already been completed.

Abstract: The root end (9) is attached to the rotor head for
rotationally driving. The central portion (11) has
aerodynamic characteristics depending on the leading and
trailing edges (21) and (22) which extend linearly from the
root end (9) in parallel to each other, and the chord dimension
(C) therebetween. A planform shape of the blade tip portion
(12) is defined by the first leading edge (23) which extends
forwardly as the distance from the outboard end (P1) of the
leading edge (21) of the central portion (11) outwardly
increases, the second leading edge (24) and the side edge (25)
which are rearwardly swept as the distance from the outboard
end (P) of the first leading edge (23) toward outboard side
outwardly increases, the first trailing edge (26) which is
curved forwardly as the distance from an outboard end (P5) of
the trailing edge (22) of the central portion (11) outwardly
increases, and the second trailing edge (27) which is swept
rearwardly as the distance from the outboard end point (P6)
of the first trailing edge outwardly increases. This
configuration makes it possible to eliminate the delocalization
in the supersonic region and greatly reduce high-speed
impulsive noises.

IPC: A61N1/372
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A system for storing physiological signals in medical implants or for transmission outside the patient's body is based on taking multiple measurements at precise intervals over a predetermined time period. To these are applied selection criteria from which a sequence of signal samples is built up. This sequence may be visualised as a graph whereby each signal is connected in a straight line to the next. Subsequent selections of signals are based on the same criteria of intervals, amplitude and duration for comparison with the first. These are stored as the new exemplars whenever more than one test value differs from that of the preceding series. The system can be used for reliable control of the implant and/or for diagnostic purposes. It uses minimal memory and processing capacity and consumes very little current.
