Abstract: An object detection system employs a photo-emitter and photo-detector for synchronously detecting and processing an optical signal reflected from an object in a pinch zone of a window or door opening. A photo-emitter light signal is modulated by a modulation signal having an active phase and an inactive phase. The optical detector provides an optical detector signal that is a function of the intensity of the received light. The detected light signal is synchronously detected using a switching amplifier that multiplies the reflected modulated light signal by a first gain during the active phase and by a second gain during the inactive phase. The duration of the active and inactive phases and the first and second gains are selected such that the system gain will average to zero for ambient light when integrated over a predetermined measurement period. The synchronously detected signal is subtracted from a predetermined offset voltage, and this difference is then integrated over the measurement period. The output of the integrator is then compared to a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A multipurpose folding tool (30,280) including a pair of folding scissors (32), in which scissor blades (80,82) are movable about pivot shafts (78), between a stowed position and a deployed position in the handles (34,36). A rocker (94,96) is moved by a spring (106) in the tool handle and in turn urges a scissor blade toward an open position. In one embodiment four springs (104,106) hold the handles together with the folded scissors stowed within the handles. When the scissors and other tools are folded into their stowed positions in the handle of the multipurpose tool of the invention the tool has a smooth outside configuration allowing the tool to be carried in a pocket without causing undue wear. A handle (34 or 36) may be constructed as a sheet metal channel or a handle (282,284,382,384) as two pieces at least one of which includes a perpendicular flange taking the place of a channel bottom portion so that each blade or tool bit may be accompanied by a separate spring (318,418,420). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring and analyzing the performance of a control circuit in an industrial process. Different parameters (indices) illustrating the state of the control circuit are combined in an intelligent manner such that each combination of index (VI, IAE, CTI, OI) values represents a specific example state of the control circuit. The indices and combinations of their values are selected in advance on the basis of expert knowledge and process research. A momentary state of the control circuit is deduced by computing the performance indices on the basis of the measurement data illustrating the control loop operation and by examining which (one) of the predetermined index value combinations best correlate(s) with the corresponding reference combination values. The reference state representing the best correlating combinations is then deduced to be the momentary state of the control circuit.
