Abstract: A pneumatically- or electrically-actuated disk brake, in which a mounting frame supports a brake caliper and a torque plate secures the mounting plate to an axle, are arranged such that fasteners securing the mounting frame to the torque plate are oriented essentially perpendicular to the axle's longitudinal axis. Between the mounting frame and the torque plate are arranged locating features and corresponding recesses which constrain relative motion between the frame and the plate in at least two degrees of freedom. The locator features may include a shear sleeve or locator pin capable of constraining two degrees of motion, and parallel and perpendicular ridges arranged to constrain motion in at least three directions. The locator features aid in avoiding stress concentrations and distortions in the brake mount and caliper during brake application, and improve brake pad wear by better maintaining an optimum geometry of the pads relative to the brake rotor.

Abstract: A method and system for improving reliability of OTP memories, and in particular anti-fuse memories, by storing one bit of data in at least two OTP memory cells. Therefore each bit of data is read out by accessing the at least two OTP memory cells at the same time in a multi-cell per bit mode. By storing one bit of data in at least two OTP memory cells, defective cells or weakly programmable cells are compensated for since the additional cell or cells provide inherent redundancy. Program reliability is ensured by programming the data one bit at a time, and verifying all programmed bits in a single-ended read mode, prior to normal operation where the data is read out in the multi-cell per bit mode. Programming and verification is achieved at high speed and with minimal power consumption using a novel program/verify algorithm for anti-fuse memory. In addition to improved reliability, read margin and read speed are improved over single cell per bit memories.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve coupling (1.1) having a discharge part (2.1) and a receiving part which can be coupled to the discharge part and which has a valve function which, in the coupled state, allows the transmission of a fluid or paste-like material from the discharge part to the receiving part. In the decoupled state, the discharge part and the receiving part are closed in a fluid-tight manner. The discharge part has a discharge valve, and the receiving part (3.1) has a receiving valve. The coupling or decoupling results in an opening or closing of the valves and is carried out by elastic deformation, wherein, in the case of coupling, the valves are opened only when the discharge part is connected to the receiving part in a fluid-tight manner, and in the case of decoupling, the valves are closed before the fluid-tight connection is broken.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of marking valuable items, mainly precious stones and, in particular, cut diamonds, and can be used for their identification. To implement the marking procedure, the identification surface of the product is first polished. A marking image, optically visible in reflected light is formed on the polished surface by modifying the identification area of said surface by means of a guided ion beam with a given ion energy. In the modification process, the composition of the surface layer is modified with the possibility of changing the optical properties of modified sites in relation to the optical properties of untreated sites of the identification surface. The modification of the identification surface is carried out by a pulse ior beam through a stencil mask, resulting in implantation of modifier ions into the crystal lattice of the marking area of the surface layer without damaging the covalent bends between the atoms of the lattice and, accordingly, without damaging to the original topography of this layer. Said changes in the optical properties of the marking area are provided through the use as a modifier of such material, the ions of which alter the complex refractive index of the base material upon implantation into its crystal lattice as doping additives.

Abstract: Position reports from GPS receivers can be made vital through a variety of techniques including relative differential GPS corrections and a technique in which a train traveling on a fixed path is provided with a database that includes positions on fixed paths or data from which positions on fixed paths can be determined. Position reports from GPS receivers located on the vehicle are compared to the positions of the fixed paths in the database. If the distance from the position reported by the GPS receiver to the nearest point on the nearest fixed path is greater than the stated accuracy of the GPS receiver, the position report is discarded or other corrective action is taken. A second technique involves cross-checking position reports from two GPS receivers separated by a known distance, preferably mounted on a single vehicle. Still other techniques may be used.
