Inventor: MATSUMURA NAOMI
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: An electronic blood pressure monitor has a switch detecting whether a front cover is open or closed. When the front cover is opened by a subject, the switch detects that the cover is opened, and outputs a detection signal to a control portion. In control portion a CPU operates in response to the detection signal being received to cause a power supply switch LED to flash on and off/turn on. This indicates that of a variety of switches of a console, the type of manipulation switch that should first be operated is a power supply switch.

Title: Method for fault handling in a converter circuit for switching three voltage levels
Inventor: WIESER RUDOLF
IPC: H02P27/14
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: A method for error handling in a converter circuit for wiring of three voltage levels is disclosed, whereby the converter circuit comprises a partial converter system (1), for each phase (R, S, T), in which an upper error current path (A), or a lower error current path (B) is detected in the partial converter system (1). The upper error current path (A) runs over the first, second, third and sixth power semiconductor switch (S1, S2, S3, S6) of the partial converter system (1), or over the first and fifth power semiconductor switch (S1, S5) of the partial converter system (1) and the lower error current path (B) runs over the second, third, fourth and fifth power semiconductor switch (S2, S3, S4, S5) of the partial converter system (1) or over the fourth and sixth power semiconductor switch (S4, S6) of the partial converter system (1) and, after a error switching sequence the power semiconductor switches (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6) are switched. According to the invention, a phase-side short-circuit of all phases of the converter circuit may be avoided and hence a secure operational state for the converter circuit in the case of an error may be achieved, whereby after the error switch sequence in the case of detection of the upper or the lower error current path (A, B), the switch status of each power semiconductor switch (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6) on said detection is fixed. Furthermore, on detection of the upper error current path (A), the first power semiconductor switch (S1) and then the third power semiconductor (S3) are switched off and, on detection of the lower error current path (B), the fourth power semiconductor switch (S4) and then the second power semiconductor (S2) are switched off.

Abstract: This invention is for providing pre-rotation of wheels prior to landing the aircraft.  Reducing the jerk caused at touchdown, and the wear of the tires from the impact, which start rotating the wheels from stand still position to touchdown speed, which could be 150 km/hour. The runway's concrete by friction removes, or shaves off the tread's rubber at random locations, and create uneven surfaces on the tires' tread. The uneven tread surfaces of the tires are causing unbalanced wheels, which must be corrected by rethreading the tires. At the present, frequent rethreading and replacements of tires are required, which can be avoided by pre-rotated wheels, having effect at the take off, and at the touchdown of the airplanes. The wheels rotation is accomplished by positioned airfoils, extending outward at the sides of the tires. When the landing gear is lowered, the position airfoils engaged by the incoming air stream, to start rotating the wheels. Tires concerned are, newly produced tires, rethreaded, and remanufactured tires.  During the processes are not using up additional natural recourses to make synthetic rubber.
