Patent EP-0833083-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OHASHI TATSUYUKI
IPC: F16H59/08
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: Manual speed changing is performed in a shorter time
without giving rise to shocks. For that purpose, at the
time of manual speed changing, a hydraulic pressure QUPON
of a hydraulic engaging element on the engaging side is
corrected by boosting. A correction value QUPONX before
starting of an inertia phase and a correction value QUPONY
after starting of the inertia phase are separately set.
By making QUPONX > QUPONY, the time required for manual
speed changing as well as the shocks at the time of speed
changing are reduced.

Patent EP-0820697-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAPP WILLIAM W
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A device is disclosed that completely cuts out and removes the vent, including its orbicular
muscle, of a slaughtered animal, such as poultry, pigs or other such animals. A centering pin nests
within a holding element that has a roughened face surface for capturing the skin ofthe animal
around the vent. The holding element is coaxial with a generally cylindrical, rotary cutter. The
pin inserts into the vent and the holding element is then extended to contact the skin of the animal
near the vent. The pin, which terminates in a cone-shaped knob, is then moved slightly away from
the animal and toward the holding element, thereby capturing the orbicular muscle of the vent
between the shoulder of the pin and a recess within the holding element. The holding element has
a roughened face surface, preferably beveled, which contacts the skin and may form it into folds
for easier cutting. The holding element is nested within and coaxial to the cutter; only a very
small gap separates the holding element from the cutter. This causes the cutter and the holding
element to cooperate to cut through the skin with a shearing action, thereby improving the ability
of the device to remove completely the vent. When grooves are used to roughen the face surface,
the grooves form folds within the skin. Such folds further improve the ability of the cutter to slice
through the skin of the animal and thereby completely cut out and remove the orbicular muscle.

Abstract: The present invention, includes the ability to monitor various power consuming components in the computer system, and selectively maintain various ones of the components in a turned on state in order to eliminate a voltage spike. At least one control circuit is provided which receives inputs from various data processing elements and determines when none of these elements are accessing a power consuming component. When the control circuit does determine that a power consuming component is completely idle, then an access is made to that component such that a residual voltage level is maintained. Thus, when a subsequent data processing access occurs, the voltage drop (due to the surge in power to the consuming component) is minimized, or eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining a hot spot of telephone traffic in a cell. The invention uses simultaneously two basic measurements of digital radio systems; timing advance and adjacent cell measurement. Timing advance informs the distance of the mobile station from the base station but not the direction. On the basis of the measured signal strengths of adjacent cells it is possible to determine a set of possible locations of the mobile station when there is information about the coverage area of individual adjacent cells. When these measurements are used simultaneously, they exclude the inaccuracies of each other and enable very accurate location determination for monitoring traffic distribution. Timing advance is utilized to determine a set of circular, base-station-centric areas and adjacent cell measurements are utilized to determine the direction of the mobile station to the base
