Abstract: A system for controlling the movement of an animal relative to an area is provided having a signal transmitter with a transmitting antenna associated with said area. A loop of wire serves as the transmitting antenna and defines the boundary of the area. An electronic receiver carried by the animal is responsive to a signal produced by the transmitting antenna for producing an animal control output, such as an annoying tone or an electrical shock, to the animal whenever the animal moves into the vicinity of the transmitting antenna. The electronic receiver has first and second orthogonal receiving antennas for receiving the signal produced by the wire loop antenna. Each antenna receives a respective component of the transmitted signal. Selection circuitry selects which of the respective components has greater magnitude and produces an actuating output to identify such component. Switch circuitry receives the respective components of the transmitted signal from each of the respective receiving antennas. The switch circuitry responds to the actuating output produced by the selection circuitry to output the respective component having greater magnitude. Control circuitry is responsive to the selected component output from the switch circuit for producing the control output to the animal to control the movement of the animal relative to the selected area. As such, the control circuitry continuously responds to the receiving antenna having the best reception to produce the animal control output.

Title: Dispositif de commande de preinjection

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande de préinjection dans lequel le carburant se trouvant dans une chambre de pompe est préinjecté de sorte que le volume d'une chambre à volume variable, communicant avec la chambre de pompe par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice ouvert ou fermé en fonction d'une position prédéterminée d'un piston pendant la mise sous pression de la chambre de pompe effectuée par le piston, est modifié par l'extension de l'élément d'actionnement ou similaire d'un actionneur du type à électrostriction, pendant un temps d'ouverture prédéterminé dudit orifice, par exemple. Autrefois, l'actionneur était entraîné lorsque la pression de la chambre à volume variable atteignait une valeur prédéterminée après le début de la poussée du piston. Cependant, avec le dispositif présenté, le début de la préinjection ne rattrape pas la poussée du piston pour la rotation à grande vitesse, l'injection principale et l'injection auxiliaire s'effectuant en continu. Selon la présente invention, le temps d'ouverture/fermeture de l'orifice servant à l'injection préliminaire est détecté, et le temps d'entraînement de l'actionneur pour la préinjection est déterminé en fonction d'un signal de détection. Ainsi, même pendant la rotation à grande vitesse, le temps de préinjection est déterminé plus tôt de sorte que la préinjection se fait sans retard.

Abstract: A method of training an operator in the use of first detection apparatus responsive to a first sensible emission of a hazardous nature, e.g. comprising radio-active or ionising radiations or toxic gases or vapours from war gases or nerve gases, said method involving training said operator in the use of an alternative second detection apparatus responsive to a second sensible emission of a non-hazardous nature. For use in such a training method there is provided, in combination, a self-contained movable supply of chemical, e.g. gaseous, material that in use provides a second sensible emission, and a detector responsive to said second sensible emissions and providing an indication commensurate with the level of those emissions, said indication being provided in units of the said first sensible emission. The self-contained movable supply may comprise one or more of: activated carbon, or silica gel, or a molecular sieve, or a nut or bolt, or a particulate material (e.g. a dust or powder), or a simulated pebble, or a simulated stone, or a grease, or a sprayed-on liquid. The gaseous material may comprise ethylene, or butane, or a chlorinated or fluorinated hydrocarbon, e.g. chloroform. The gas detector may comprise an explosive atmosphere detector, or a sensitive gas leak detector, or a specific gas monitor, or an electron capture detector.

Abstract: Circuit de terminaison pour un réseau en échelle R-2R pour produire des courants pondérés, la résistance à terminaison 2R de l'échelle étant connectée à une tension de source d'excitation qui est 2(kT/q)ln2 plus proche de la tension d'alimentation que l'émetteur de la source de courant dans la dernière (c'est-à-dire la moins significative) jambe de l'échelle. La source d'excitation est fabriquée avec seulement un type de transistor bipolaire et n'a pas besoin d'un amplificateur ou de condensateurs de compensation de fréquence. La source d'excitation est un circuit simple nécessitant uniquement cinq transistors, dont au moins l'un possède une région émettrice qui est un multiple des régions émettrices des transistors de la source de courant. Les tensions base-émetteur des transistors dans la source d'excitation sont connectées dans une boucle de tension qui va depuis une tension VLSB au niveau de l'émetteur du transistor de la source de courant connectée à la résistance de dérivation du réseau en échelle la moins significative jusqu'à une tension, Vt, qui serait égale à VLSB, si tous les six transistors dans la boucle avaient la même région émettrice, mais qui s'en écartent de 2(kT/q)ln2 à cause des différences dans les régions émettrices.

Abstract: The invention is a high speed error diffusion process consisting of repetitive computational cycles in which a binary print value is determined from an error-diffused pixel in a continuous tone image. In each cycle, the computation of the previous pixel error exploits computations made during the previous cycle. Specifically, for a continuous tone image consisting of n-bit pixels, the n least significant bits of the previous pixel error are computed during the previous cycle and its sign bit is determined during the current cycle. The n least significant bits of the previous pixel error are the n least significant bits of the error-diffused pixel of the previous cycle. The sign bit of the previous pixel error is determined during the current cycle from the three most significant bits of the error-diffused pixel value of the previous cycle and from the binary print value of the previous cycle.

Abstract: A magnetically shielded room has four walls (22), a floor (24), and a ceiling (20). One of the walls has a doorway (26) therethrough, and a sliding door (32) is provided to close the doorway. Each of the four walls, the floor, the ceiling, and the door is formed of at least one layer of electrically conductive material (40) to exclude radio frequency energy from the interior of the room, and at least one layer of high magnetic permeability material (42) to exclude magnetic fields from the interior of the room. Preferably, at least the wall with the doorway therethrough and the door are formed of two electrically conductive plates (54) and a layer of high magnetic permeability material (58) on each of the plates, the electrically conductive plates of the wall being spaced sufficiently far apart that the sliding door slides into the space between the plates when the doorway is opened. In this preferred approach, the door is mechanically, electrically, and magnetically sealed to the doorway in the wall by inflating bladders (56) in the door that force the electrically conductive plates (54) of the door against the respective plates of the wall (70), and the high magnetic permeability layers (58) of the door against the respective layers of the wall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a work or office table having two pairs of bearing arms which are mounted pivotably on a cross-member (10) of the table frame. In this case, the bearing arms are composed of two bearing-arm halves which, with grooves, each surround a web of the cross-member in such a way that the bearing arm can be held captively but adjusted within a given pivot angle. In this case, a clearly retainable setting of the bearing arms in the pivoted position set is maintained in a simple manner due to the fact that at least one bearing-arm half of each bearing arm is provided with a tooth gearing in the region of the groove, that the segment element (12) bears a mating gearing which engages with said tooth gearing (14) of the bearing-arm half, and that a prestressed elastic element is provided, which pulls the bearing-arm halves (20) - (21) towards one another when the screw connection is loosened and maintains the operative connection of the tooth gearing and mating gearing in a variable manner due to limited resilience.
