Patent BR-9914446-A (BR)
Inventor: TAME OMAR D
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: A mechanism (16) adjusts a relative position of a component (14) within the vehicle. The mechanism has a mounting bracket (18). A drive drum (20) is mounted rotatably on the bracket for providing a rotary output to adjust the component (14). An actuation handle (22) is rotatably mounted to the drive drum (20) and rotatable relative to the drive drum (20) from a neutral position. A coil spring (24) surrounds the drive drum (20) in a sliding engagement. A return spring assembly (54) engages the coil spring (24). The handle (22) engages the coil spring (24) and the return spring assembly (54). As the handle (22) is rotated from the neutral position, the coil spring (24) is rotated in a winding sense about the drive drum (20) and against the return spring (54) thereby coupling the handle (22) and the drive drum (20) for rotation. As the handle (22) is counter rotated towards the neutral position, the return spring assembly (54) urges the coil spring (24) to rotate in an unwinding sense, uncoupling the handle (22) from the drive drum (20).

Title: Casting-on machine for warp knit goods
Inventor: EBERHARD MERKLE
IPC: D05B7/00
Filed: 1967-12-29
Abstract: Weft- and warp- knit goods are cast on needle plates by a vibrator mounted on a supporting structure. Linked to the vibrator is a casting-on device adopted to be set next to the needle plate. The vibrator causes the casting-on device to vibrate in a direction parallel to the axes of the needles on the needle plate and thrusts the goods down on the needle stems. This machine can be used for close fabrics and braiding and has the merit of needing slight pressure in casting-on, compared to known methods, so that the shape of the plate is not impaired. The hands are freed for slipping the goods on the tips of the needles.

Title: Exercise motivator for rewarding a user with access to an audio or visual apparatus
Inventor: THOMAS HUGH ALLDEN
IPC: A63B21/00
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: The 'Motivator' is to reduce the viewing we undertake and increasing the exercise we take by rewarding the user with access time to, television, music or a video game. The Motivator controls the functionality of audio or visual entertainment equipment, subject to pulses at the Motivators pulse input. The frequency of input pulses can be in proportion to the physical exertion made by the user e.g. electrical pulses derived from positive tasks or users detected heart beat which result in a pulse train being detected at the pulse input. The 'Square Ration' when used with the 'Motivator' controls access time to, television, music or video games for example. Merit worthy actions of the user of the 'Square Ration' can be rewarded by providing access time currently or in the future at the discretion of a key holder who can award 'units' of time. In the preferred embodiment described, in the absence of pulses at the pulse input results in no power being delivered to the associated device such as a T.V. or Video. A warning sounder or light indicates that if more positive activity is not detected at the pulse input then power to the associated device (T.V. Audio/Video) will be lost.

Title: Limiting access to private networks in cellular communications systems
Inventor: WESTERBERG LARS ERIK
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-09-15
Abstract: A mobile cellular communications system and method are disclosed, which limit access to private network cells (114) only to mobile terminals that are used by subscribers to those private networks. In cells belonging to the public network, only information about the public cells (122) is broadcast on the public system information control channels. This public cell (122) information is thus the only cell information that the non-subscribers' mobile terminals are able to receive. When a mobile terminal belonging to a subscriber of one or more private networks surfaces in a public cell (122), the public network transmits a radio link control message to that mobile terminal, which contains information about the candidate cells for selection associated with the private network(s) involved. The private network transmits system information via the private cell (114) to a subscribing mobile terminal about the private and public cells' neighboring cells (122). Consequently, the subscribing mobile terminal will regard the public network cells (122) and private network cells (114) as integral parts of the overall cellular system. Cells associated with private networks to which that mobile terminal's end user is a "non-subscriber" are thus "invisible" to that mobile terminal.

Title: Modeling position error nonlinearity to improve servo performance
Inventor: COOPER EVERT STEEN
IPC: G11B5/596
Filed: 1998-05-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for improving serve performance of a disc drive (100). The disc drive includes a head (126) adjacent a rotatable disc (106) on which data are stored on a plurality of tracks (164). A servo circuit (144) is provided to control the position of the head by generating an actual (raw) position error signal (PES) (218, 458) nominally characterised as nonlinear over a portion of the width of a selected track and indicative of position of the head relative to the selected track. The servo circuit further generates a predicted PES (456) as an approximation of the actual PES, and then controls head position through summation of the actual PES with the predicted PES (236). The servo circuit includes a burst signal generator (300) which generates predicted burst signals (350, 370) as approximations of actual burst signals (208, 210) determined from readback signals from the head as the head reads servo burst patterns (176) of the disc. Error value tables (302, 304) provide improved approximations of the actual burst signals by compensating for asymmetric response of the head.

Title: Transmitter and synchronous receiver for CIMT encoded data
Inventor: LAI BENNY W H
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2000-07-18
Abstract: A receiver 12 includes a decoder 16 which periodically analyses portions of a received serial data stream 27, under the control of a local clock signal generated by signal generator 17. When the receiver and received serial data stream are synchronised, each of the said analysed portions includes a predetermined pattern. In a preferred embodiment the predetermined pattern is a master transition. When synchronisation is lost the decoder sends an error signal to the word alignment logic 18, which in turn signals the local clock signal to slip. The slippage in the clock signal causes the decoder to examine portions of the received signal adjacent to previously examined portions. Slippage of the clock single is repeated until the predetermined patterns are again detected and lock is regained. The method is particularly suited to simplex transmission of conditional invert master transition (CIMT) encoded data. Master transitions are preferably provided in a 4 bit code field transmitted along with the CIMT data. A phantom bit or flag bit may be encoded in the code field.
