Abstract: A suspension system for supporting fore- and aft extending frame members of a vehicle chassis on a hollow axle, the system on one side of the vehicle being duplicated on the opposite side. Included in the suspension on each side are: (1) a frame bracket for pivotally supporting the fore or leading end of an asymmetric leaf spring; (2) a spring end support mounted on the frame side member for supporting the aft or trailing end of the leaf spring, and (3) a suitable assembly for attaching the leaf spring at a location intermediate its opposite ends to the axle so that the spring is divided into two cantilever limbs extending in opposite directions from the center line of the axle. The spring is formed so that one of the cantilever limbs has a stiffness substantially greater than the stiffness of the other limb. In all forms, at least one leaf of the asymmetric spring extends the full length of the spring. In one particular form the spring has a shorter leaf with an end portion extending over the axle with an air spring mounted either directly over the axle or on one side of the axle. Instead of having two leafs, the asymmetric spring may be formed as a tapered convolute single-leaf spring.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a weight coefficient of an artificial associative neuron synapse, where the synaptic weight coefficient is determined on the basis of the temporal average of a product of two signals. The method comprises the steps of taking temporal samples from the product of said two signals at such moments when one of the signals starts to deviate from zero, feeding said samples into such a shift register chain, from where a predetermined number of said samples taken at previous moments are continuously available, deducing on the basis of said samples taken at previous moments, whether a value deviating from zero is to be set as the synaptic weight coefficient. The invention also relates to an artificial associative neuron synapse.

Abstract: An improved above-the-knee prosthesis with an anatomically configured socket is characterized by one or more contours which correspond to a pre-selected anatomical contour of the upper or lower residual thigh. By exaggerating the depth of the contour in the socket as compared with the corresponding contour in the thigh, the socket grips the residual thigh and maintains the femur in proper alignment. The new channels and contours allow the patient using the socket to have improved rotational support and control over the prosthesis by providing structures which the muscles of the upper and lower residual thigh can "grip." The socket snugly contains the thigh and maintains it, throughout the gait cycle, in a proper anatomical position. This fit increases the comfort of the prosthesis and minimizes gait abnormalities common with other artificial limbs. The increased support helps maintain the physical condition of the residual limb. The extended and new channels allow the muscles of the patient's residual thigh to flex and contract against and around the channels, thereby reducing muscle atrophy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A first matrix or table is determined by supposing that each server cell and each interference cell are co-channel. The modifiable value for a field CHAMPMINI corresponds to a service probability of 50 per cent. The computing system selects the three cells having the best servers by comparison with values of the matrix. The assigned probabilities are calculated and stored in a constraint matrix. Method for creating constraint matrices for use in planning for a cellular radiotelephony network, in which are a determined number of predetermined carrier frequency values (fi,fj) to be attributed to a number of base stations (11-14) with set positions and transmission power in a service zone. In the zone is managed a corresponding number of radio cells (1-4) which act as server or interference cells. The method has the following stages: (a) after positioning each mesh (P) of a server cell the computer system produces prediction representing the value (C) of the field received in this mesh for the service zone for one (fi) of the predetermined frequencies for the server cell; in each of the meshes, the computer system calculates the value (I) of the interference field created by each of the other cells that the system considers as interference cell vis-a-vis to the supposed server cell determined by the system computer; in each of the meshes, the computer calculates the value of the relationship (C divided by I) for the server cell, where (I) represents the interference field created for each of the other interference cells of the service zone and whose interference field value (I) received in the mesh is greater than a predetermined value CHAMPMINIBROUILLEUR memorized at the start by the system computer; the system computer carries out an integration operation on the whole of the service zone to determine the global interference rate(tbij). These values can be displayed or memorized in an initial constraint matrix, by representing or memorizing the levels (Ki,Li,Mi) at the intersections of lines designating server cells and columns designating interference cells; the system determines from the initial constraint matrix the probability of service at initialization which represents the probability that a given cell is the server cell providing the mobile terminal with the highest field. The service probability being deduced from the difference between the predicted field value and the modifiable value for a field CHAMPMINI memorized in a file Frequency.txt.
