Abstract: The switching device (26) of the pressure switch (10) has a stationary contact element (30) and a moving contact element (32) which is coupled to a snap spring (50). These contact elements (30, 32), which form a switch contact, are arranged between a clamping-in point (62) on the housing and an operating point (44) at which a membrane (24) engages by means of a plunger (46) on a leaf spring (34) which operates the switch contact. In this case, the operating point (44) is located on a longer lever arm than the switch contact. This causes a force transfer from the membrane movement to the switch contact and, through the amplification of the contact pressure, ensures increased electrical switching reliability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of correcting or alleviating presbyopia in humans comprising (a) fitting a first contact lens to a first eye, and (b) fitting a second contact lens to the other eye. Each of the lenses has a first power provided by the shape, curvature and material of the lens to provide a refractive corrected image and a second power provided by diffractive means to provide a second corrected image, the second power being additive to (or subtracted from) the first power. The lenses are fitted so that one has a refractive near image optical power and the other has a refractive distance image optical power, and the diffractive means of the lenses are arranged so that the amount of the light directed into the near image by one lens is substantially greater than that directed into the far image by that lens, and the amount of light directed into the far image by the other lens is substantially greater than that directed into the near image by that other lens. In this way the wearer sees an image of relatively high intensity and retains a large amount of stereoscopic vision.

Abstract: An adaptive and predictive controller has self tuning capabilities, the receding horizon window and sample interval being determined by the tuning mechanism automatically, based on the relationship between the controlled and manipulated variables. The interval and window may be set by the user as well. Constraints on the manipulated and controlled variables at the end of the horizon window are accommodated automatically. In addition to providing servo regulatory control the controller simultaneously minimises operating costs.

Abstract: A movable condition-responsive member such as a snap-acting dished metal member is mounted in a condition-responsive device to move between spaced dispositions such as between the original and inverted dished configurations of a dished metal member in response to occurrence of selected pressure, force or temperature conditions. The member is arranged to engage and move the device control elements during such movement to perform control functions. A series of artifacts (16) such as laser-melted portions of the metal materials embodied in the member are provided in the surface of the member, typically after the member is assembled in the control device. Each artifact establishes a local pattern of stresses in the member at variance with a pattern of stresses in the member adjacent to the artifacts, and the artifacts cooperate to precisely determine the condition which results in the snap-acting member movement. The member is initially formed and processed in conventional manner to provide the member with intended initial condition-response properties differing by selected value from the properties ultimately to be established in the member, and is tested to display its actual properties as initially formed. The artifacts are each proportioned to modify the condition-response properties by only a small increment of said value and they are formed in sequence, typically after member assembly in the device, as the response of the device is tested to precisely determine the condition-response properties of the member in the device.

Abstract: 2.1. Known vehicles with controlled deceleration, having a deceleration transmitter actuated by the driver of the vehicle, cannot be braked from the accelerated descent of a slope to a deceleration of 0, i.e. to a constant speed, because the deceleration transmitter cannot emit a vehicle-deceleration demand signal for 0. 2.2. To eliminate this disadvantage, the invention proposes to detect the vehicle deceleration at the beginning of braking, to add it to the vehicle-deceleration demand signal and to stipulate the sum thus obtained as a set point for deceleration control. 2.3. A specific area of application of the invention is in vehicle technology. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A neural network is provided and utilised to learn a relationship between a brightness and/or colour of a selected picture element and the brightness and/or colour of the surrounding picture elements. If the neural network determines that anti-aliasing would enhance the overall clarity of the graphic image the neural network then computes a scaling factor which is utilised to modify the brightness and/or colour of a selected picture element to achieve anti-aliasing. In the depicted embodiment of the present invention, a single picture element of a three by three matrix of nine picture element is modified, as required, to blur the jagged edge of a graphic image with respect to a graphic displayed in a computer system.

Abstract: A magnetic disc apparatus in which a rocking type actuator (2) is driven in a rocking motion by a driving force of a VCM (voice coil motor) (2-4), and in this case, two flexible bending members (1-2, 1-4, 1-5) fixed to the rotor move in synchronization with the driving of the rocking type actuator. The respective flexible bending members (1-2, 1-4, 1-5) are attached to two FPC (Flexible printed circuit sheet) fixing portions (2-3b) provided on the outer wall of the rotor (2-3) and radially arranged with respect to the driving center of the rocking type actuator, so as to have the bending portions bent in directions opposite to each other, so that reaction forces of the flexible printed circuit sheets are opposed and cancel one another out at all times and hardly affect driving of the actuator. Therefore, less power is required to be given to the VCM (voice coil motor), while an actuator having a favorable follow-up characteristic with respect to data tracks can be obtained.

Abstract: A multiple file name referencing system stores multiple file names in a file. These multiple file names include an operating system formatted file name and an application formatted file name. When an operating system formatted file name is created or renamed, the multiple file name referencing system automatically generates an application formatted file name having a potentially different format from, but preserving the extension of, the operating system formatted name. The multiple file name referencing system similarly generates an operating system formatted name upon creation or renaming of an application formatted name. A B-tree is provided which contains an operating system entry for the operating system formatted name and an application entry for the application formatted name, each entry containing the address of the same file to which both names refer. The multiple file name referencing system converts the operating system formatted file name to the application formatted file name by accessing the B-tree with reference to the operating system entry, and vice versa. As a result, either file name can be used to directly reference the file without requiring additional file name translation.
