Abstract: A system includes a selector switch and a control device.  The selector switch is positioned inside a cab of a work vehicle and coupled to main and remote switches, which are in turn coupled to a voltage source.  The selector switch can be used to select standard and remote modes that allow, respectively, the main and remote switches to engage and disengage a power takeoff (PTO) on the work vehicle.  The control device is coupled to the switches and the PTO to interpret combinations of positions of the switches for engagement and disengagement of the PTO, preferably based on testing of the combinations with stored preselected conditions.  Further, the control device activates warning signalers according to conditions of the system.

Title: Self-powered interface circuit for use with a transducer sensor
Inventor: RAYNES JOHN W
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1995-10-04
Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: An interface circuit for interfacing a semiconductor transducer  sensor  to  a  patient  vital  signs  monitor  is disclosed.  In one embodiment, the interface circuit includes a power supply circuit that receives an excitation power signal generated by the patient monitor, and derives therefrom unregulated and regulated supply voltages for use by the electrical  components  on  the  interface  circuit.    Also generated by the power supply circuit is an appropriate sensor excitation signal  for the  semiconductor transducer.    In another embodiment,  the interface circuit further includes receiving circuitry for receiving a sensor output signal generated by the transducer sensor.  A scaling circuit then scales  that  signal  into  a  parameter  signal  that  is proportional to the physiological condition detected by the sensor, and that is also proportional to the excitation power signal generated by the patient monitor.  If necessary, the interface circuit further includes isolation circuitry, for electrically isolating the transducer sensor from the patient monitor.

Abstract: A valve in which a valve disc is slid on a valve seat to open and close a passage. This valve maintains its water-sealing property and handle operability even after the valve device is used continuously for a long time. The valve seat (6) or the valve disc (11) is formed from a resin composition containing 100 parts by weight of polycyanoaryl ether resin and 40 to 165 parts by weight of glass-like carbon having a mean particle size of not greater than 25 .mu.m. The resin composition may further contain 30 parts or less by weight of fluororesin powder such as PTFE to the resin composition described above. Alternatively, the valve disc (11) is formed from ceramics, a protuberance (12) for sliding the valve disc is formed at the center of the surface of the synthetic resin valve seat (6) facing the valve disc (11), and the diameter of this protuberance (12) is made smaller than the outer diameter of the valve disc (11), so that even when the valve seat (6) undergoes deformation due to the feed water pressure, deformation occurs at only the outer diameter portion of the valve seat (6) and the formation of a gap is prevented between the valve disc (11) and the protuberance (12). Further, the valve device may include a plurality of circumferential grooves formed concentrically on the lower surface of a level holder (14). The lower surface of the lever holder has such a shape that its inner portions are higher than its peripheries so as to hold lubricating oil or lubricating grease in the circumferential grooves.

Title: Method of and means for producing combustible products from heavy fuel residue
Inventor: DORAN BENJAMIN
IPC: C10G1/00
Filed: 1996-08-02
Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: A method for producing combustible products such as a low viscosity liquid fuel and fuel gas is provided in which asphaltene is pyrolyzed together with a low grade solid fuel containing materials or minerals which have catalytic properties such as oil shale, certain types of low grade coal, etc. Preferably, according to the present invention the step of pyrolyzing asphaltene together with oil shale is carried out by adding asphaltene to a pyrolyzer, adding oil shale to a pyrolyzer, combusting carbonaceous material remaining in the pyrolyzer by supplying the remaining carbonaceous material to a combustor preferably separate from the pyrolyzer and adding ash produced by the combustion of the carbonaceous material to the pyrolyzer. Such pyrolysis is advantageous since oil shale and other such materials have many catalytic qualities which can aid in the cracking of the asphaltene as well as in capturing sulfur or compounds of sulfur. In addition, in a further embodiment of the present invention, a method of producing combustible products such as low viscosity fuel and fuel gas is also provided comprising pyrolyzing asphaltene together with ash produced from low grade fuel such as oil shale. In this embodiment less fuel is obtained. Moreover, the present invention comprises providing apparatus for carrying the above mentioned method steps of the present invention.

Abstract: A parallel processing method for use with a graphics processor wherein graphics processing is performed by each of configured command processors efficiently in a distributed manner, with a host CPU remaining unaware of the number of command processors.  Each command group of a variable length from a host CPU is distributed from an FIFO queue to a plurality of parallelly arranged command processors for parallel processing through any free one of input FIFO queues corresponding to the command processors.          Upon command group distribution, an identical serial number is added as a command group serial number to the commands constituting the same command group.  The results of processing of individual graphics commands by the command processors are collected via output FIFO queues, which also correspond to the processors, in the order of the command group serial numbers added to the commands before the processed results are graphically drawn.

Abstract: A two-way communication system that can improve the shorten the system recovery time by adjusting the transmission delay or transmission level before the operation of a subscriber station and shortening the system recovery time when a link switching operation between a center station and a relay station occurs, over two-way CATV networks, passive optical star networks and the like. A center station measures the round-trip propagation delay of a signal when a subscriber station starts its operation and then sets the transmission delay of the subscriber station so as to equalize the round-trip propagation delay measured for the subscriber station to a fixed system delay. When a link switching operation occurs from a working system to a stand-by system because of the occurrence of a failure in a relay transmission line, the center station measures the round-trip propagation delay of a signal for a subscriber station after the link switching operation and then resets transmission delays of all subscriber stations connected to the relay station at a time based on the difference between the measured delay and the round-trip propagation delay of a signal to the subscriber station before the link switching operation.
