Abstract: An AC sequencer receives source AC voltage via a sequencer-mounted universally accepted connector, such as an IEC 309 compatible connector. Source AC is coupled by an AC connector plug and AC power cord from a wall socket to the AC sequencer via a mating connector. Although specifications for the AC power cord and AC connector will vary from country to country, the same AC sequencer may be used in many countries. Further, the AC sequencer receives control and status signals via sequencer-mounted universally accepted connectors, and can respond to signals that may be voltage-sourced, current-sourced, in addition to signals representing switch openings and closures. This permits a master server AC sequencer to be intelligently daisy-chained to remote slave units containing a similar AC sequencer, such that status information may be received from and control signals sent to the slave unit.

Abstract: A three state EM motor/damper (22) used in a ground-bas ed or space-based Stirling rerigerator expander mechanism provides multiple states of operation to obtain failsafe performance during assembly, launch (space based refrigerators), and operation. The device is attached to the expander's reciprocating displacer (34) to enable actuation during assembly, provide maximum damping during launch, and provide attenuated damping to control displacer motion during operation as a refrigerator. The motor/damper is a linearly actuated "voice coil" device employing a moving coil (76) wound on an electrically conductive bobbin (60,74) and permanent magnet/back iron field assembly (64,66,68). The electrically conductive bobbin internally generates and dissipates eddy currents when moved through the magnetic field. The bobbin acts as a coil of one turn, shorted to itself. This mechanism transforms kinetic energy to electrical energy, which then dissipates as heat. In this manner, mechanical energy is removed from the system. Operational states are obtained by switching the coil terminals (78a,78b) at a multi-pole relay (80) that alternately connects a voltage supply, a dead short, or a short through a ballast resistor. In the event of a switch open failure, fail safe performance during launch and operation is provided by the fixed, intrinsic damping of the coil bobbin.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment and repair of defects in the cartilage or bone of humans and other animals as in full-thickness defects in joints. To induce cartilage formation, a defect in cartilage is filled with a matrix having pores sufficiently large to allow cartilage repair cells to populate the matrix. The matrix contains an anti-angiogenic agent that serves as a functional barrier to prevent vascularization and bone growth into the cartilage area. The matrix filling the defect in cartilage may also contain a proliferation agent and a chemotactic agent, and a transforming factor in an appropriate delivery system. A functional barrier between the bone and cartilage areas of a full-thickness defect may also be created by heat-treating the areas of bleeding to form a transient tissue barrier which prevents blood vessels and associated cells from penetrating from the bone area into the cartilage area. If desired, the bone portion of the full-thickness defect may be filled with a matrix having pores large enough to allow cells to populate the matrix and to form blood vessels. The matrix filling the bone defect may contain an angiogenic factor and an osteogenic factor in an appropriate delivery system. Methods and compositions are also provided for assisted bone and connective tissue regeneration for dental and other applications.

Abstract: In an exhaust gas purification device for an
internal combustion engine, a three-way catalyst and a
NO X  occluding and reducing catalyst (a NORC) are disposed
in the exhaust gas passage of an engine in this order
from the upstream side. A first air-fuel ratio sensor is
disposed in the exhaust gas passage between the three-way
catalyst and the NORC, and a second air-fuel ratio sensor
is disposed in the exhaust gas passage downstream of the
NORC. An engine electronic control unit (ECU) changes
the operating air-fuel ratio of the engine from a lean
air-fuel ratio to a rich air-fuel ratio and a rich air-fuel
ratio to a lean air-fuel ratio in order to evaluate
the abilities of the three-way catalyst and the NORC.
The ECU evaluates the catalytic abilities based on the
output of the first air-fuel ratio sensor when the engine
air-fuel ratio is changed. Further, the ECU evaluates
the catalytic ability and the NO X  absorbing capacity of
the NORC based on the outputs of the first and the second
air-fuel ratio sensor when the engine operating air-fuel
ratio is changed. The evaluation of the abilities of
both the three-way catalyst and the NORC in one
successive changing operation of the engine operating
air-fuel ratio is based on only the outputs of the first
and the second air-fuel ratio sensor.

Abstract: For braking a disk drive when a power fault occurs, a
circuit (10) produces an output signal (28) indicating that
the motor of the disk drive has slowed at least to a
predetermined rotational speed after the occurrence of the
power fault. Components of the
circuit (10) may be integrated onto the same integrated circuit
as the motor driving circuitry or head retract circuitry.
During the time between the occurrence of the power
fault and the time the disk drive has slowed to the predetermined
rotational speed, the read/write head mechanism
(17) is retracted. A braking circuit then brakes the disk
drive when the output signal (28) indicates that the motor
has slowed at least to the predetermined rotational speed.
The circuit for producing an output signal indicating that
the motor has slowed at least to the predetermined rotational
speed is actuated by the back-emf (14) generated by
the motor falling below a predetermined level.

Abstract: A plastic optical fiber (3) is provided with a desired length with a desired
graded refractive index. To this end, a base polymer is first mixed with a
non-polymerizable compound having a higher refractive index, to obtain a
fiber material. This is then melted and continually spun into a fiber (5).
The fiber (5) is dipped into a polymerizable monomer (9a) and heated,
during which both the non-polymerizable monomer and the polymerizable
monomer (9a) diffuse inside the fiber, thereby grading the refractive index.
When the fiber (5) is heated, the diffused polymerizable monomer is
polymerized and the fiber (5) is hardened. The fiber (5) is further coated
