Abstract: Apparatus for and method of long-term control of the temperature within a refrigerated space (92), such as the cargo compartment of a refrigeration truck. The technique employs sensors (91,94) which monitor both discharge and return air. A control algorithm uses the multiple sensors (91,94) to control modes of a refrigeration unit (10) capable of supplying cooled or heated air. This causes the temperature within the refrigerated space (92) to remain within a narrow range about a target temperature. The target is chosen to provide maximum safety for the cargo. If the target temperature is too high, the cargo is needlessly exposed to spoilage. If the target temperature is too low, the cargo is subject to the risk of damage from freezing.

Abstract: A compact machine architecture is realized by combining the functions of copy sheet feeding and stacking into one integral apparatus (30). The apparatus (30) is initially completely filled with copy sheets (29) to be moved into the transfer/fusing area of a copier/duplicator machine. A vertically translatable stacker tray (80) is positioned above the copy sheet input supply and is moved downward in vertical synchronism with copy sheets (29) being fed from the input stack (64). A paper feed roller (86), attached to the bottom of the tray (80), continually feeds the top sheet from the input supply. As the input sheet stack is consumed, the output (feed) copies are deposited onto the stacker tray (80). As operation continues the supply stack (64) is depleted while the finished stack (64) increases, but the overall volume occupied by the copy sheets (29) remains the same. Since there is no "empty" volume in the apparatus, the size and cost of the unit is greatly reduced.

Abstract: The invention is related to numerous improvements for fiber optic measuring systems, and principally those utilizing a deformable diaphragm for sensing pressure. One aspect of the invention is providing temperature compensation for diaphragm characteristics. Temperature measurement can be achieved by using a light signal having a wavelength distribution which overlaps the cut-off characteristics of a filter positioned at the fiber sensing end. Shifting in the cut-off characteristic in response to temperature modulates the intensity of the reflected back temperature compensation signal. In another approach, temperature is measured through its differential effect on light signals having different launching conditions. With either approach, the temperature measurement is used to calibrate the output of the pressure sensitive diaphragm. Another feature of the invention is particularly oriented to automotive engine combustion chamber pressure measurement. Periodic recalibration of the system can be achieved by measuring pressure at a time when the combustion chamber pressure is known to be close to ambient. For the automotive engine environment, a sensing tip shielding technique is also described using a sintered metal porous plug, which reduces temperature fluctuations experienced at the sensing tip and shields the sensing tip from corrosive materials. A technique for compensation of a fiber optic pressure sensor is described which does not directly measure temperature. In that method, a referencing wavelength is partly reflect and partly transmitted past a filter coating at the sensing end of the optical filament. This invention also describes techniques for multiplexing a number of pressure sensors and a pressure sensing tip having an enclosed volume acting on one side of the diaphragm.

Abstract: A CMOS tri-state buffer circuit transfers digital signals between a first digital circuit system operating at 3.3Volts and a second system operating at 5Volts. The buffer circuit receives an active high enable signal (112) and a data signal (110) as inputs to a tri-state select network (111). When the enable signal (112) is high, data is propagated through a driver stage (139) and onto a data bus (103) in the second system. Driver clamp circuitry (135) and an n-well voltage controller (137) operate conjunction with the driver stage (139) to prevent the 5Volt supply of the second system from interfering with the circuitry of the of the 3.3Volt system. A clamped line driver (143) transmits signals from the 5Volt system to the 3.3Volt system.

Abstract: A device for avoiding switching-on current surges when switching on an inductive electrical power supply apparatus (2) has an AC switch (9), which is connected in series therewith, and a phase-gating circuit (19) by means of which the connection of the electrical power supply apparatus to the mains power supply AC voltage (3, 4) can be set from the switching-on moment (7) using unipolar phase sections of equal magnitude. Furthermore, a switching means (12) is provided for driving the phase-gating circuit (19). This switching means (12) allows a predetermined number of unipolar sections of equal magnitude to be produced. The oppositely polarised half cycle which then follows immediately in time is switched with a triggering (turn-on) signal of 170 to 180 DEG . In the phase-gating circuit (19), in each case one triggering signal is produced at the predetermined phase-gating angle in each of the half cycles following this half cycle. In consequence, irrespective of the remanence (which is produced by a preceding switching off operation) of the electrical power supply apparatus, dimming, for example, of low-voltage lighting systems (illumination systems) or the connection of a welding transformer is reliably ensured in a simple manner and using few electronic modules, without any switching-on surge currents occurring. <IMAGE>

Abstract: [Object] To provide a control apparatus for a vehicle capable of performing the biasing, releasing, locking, and unlocking of an engine in the sequential action. 
     [Construction] A flat key 82 is inserted in an opening portion 80 of a casing 70 constituting a controller 22. When the key 82 is judged to be correct with respect to the vehicle, a current is allowed to flow in a solenoid 102, a solenoid plunger 118 is ascended. As a result, a rachet plate 104 is displaced, so that a first detector 114 faces to a second detector 116. Thus, when an engine start switch 61 is turned ON, a specified current is allowed to flow in a CPU 200 of a controller 22. When the key is ejected from the casing 70, the engine is released, and the solenoid 102 is turned OFF. At this time, by turning of an operating lever 41, the first detector 114 is separated from the second detector 116. By further turning of the operating lever 41, there can be obtained the handle lock state.

Abstract: An image processing system determines a characteristic of a moving picture, when moving-picture information is compressed, by comparing the contents of contiguous frames comprising the moving picture. The characteristic can be such that the background is not moving, but a part of the picture is moving. A compression method is selected in accordance with the characteristic and used to compress the image data. The compressed data includes the image data and information for designating the procedure to expand the image data. When the receiver receives the compressed image data, data expansion processing is performed based on the information indicating the compression procedure. Since the image processing system compresses the image by the compression procedure best suited to the characteristic of the image, information is not lost and efficient compression can be performed.
