Patent EP-0747419-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SEETHAMRAJU KASYAP V
IPC: C08L1/02
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and wood fiber composite that can be used in the form of a linear extrudate or thermoplastic pellet to manufacture structural members. The polymer, the fiber or both can be modified to increase compatibility. The wood fiber composite structural members can be manufactured in an extrusion process or an injection molding process. The linear extrudate or pellet can have a cross-section of any arbitrary shape, or can be a regular geometric. The pellet can have a cross-section shape having a volume of at least about 12 mm 3 . Preferably the pellet is a right cylindrical pellet having a minimum radius of about 1.5 mm and a minimum length of 1 mm weighing at least 14 mg. The invention also relates to an environmentally sensitive recycle of waste streams. The polymer and wood fiber composite contains an intentional recycle of a waste stream comprising polymer flakes or particles or wood fiber. The waste stream can comprises, in addition to polymer such as polyvinyl chloride or wood fiber, adhesive, paint, preservative, or other chemical stream common in the wood-window or door manufacturing process, or mixtures thereof. The initial mixing step before extrusion of the composite material insures substantial mixing and melt contact between molten polymer and wood fiber. The extruded pellet comprises a consistent proportion of polymer, wood fiber and water. During the extrusion, water is removed intentionally to dry the material to a maximum water content of less than about 10 wt-% based on the pellet weight. To make a structural unit, the pellet is introduced into an extruder or injection molding apparatus wherein, under conditions of temperature and pressure, the composite pellet material is shaped into a useful cross-section. Alternatively, the extruded thermoplastic mass, in the form of a elongated linear extrudate without a pelletizing step, can be immediately directed after formation into an extruder or injection molding apparatus.

Abstract: Transmit and receive data are stored in buffer regions defined in first and second memories of a system residing on a network. The buffer regions are pointed to by multiple descriptor rings that are also stored in the memories. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the two memories reside on separate busses connected to a common buss containing a processor. The processor communicates with one or the other of the memories using a handshaking protocol. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, receive data incoming to the system is scattered among multiple descriptor rings. A further aspect splits a frame among multiple descriptors depending on a characteristic code carried by the frame, e.g., in a frame control field. The size of the first descriptor, smaller than that of the others, is programmed to correspond to the size of the header of each frame. Synchronization between headers and data of a frame is maintained by a frame number stored in each descriptor. Another aspect prevents blocking of the receive path upon occurrence of a blocked receive descriptor ring. One application of the invention is in a fiber distributed data interface (FDDI).

Abstract: A collision sensor 1 is mounted on a pedal bracket 2
which are supported by a front frame 4, a front mount rail 5,
and a reinforce 8 which are all located in front of the cab.
The collision sensor 1 is connected through a cable 24 to the
gas generator 21 of a pretensioner seat belt 16 and to the
inflator 23 of an air bag 17. The pedal bracket 2, being high
in rigidity, senses a shock wave well, and is scarcely damaged
at the time of a collision. Since it is not exposed directly
in the air, it is high in weather resistance, and is proper in
maintenance because it is located at the position to which the
hand can be readily extended. Thus, at the time of a
collision, the degree of injury to the passenger is minimized.

Abstract: In the vehicle antenna, a GPS antenna, a radio wave
beacon antenna for VICS/automatic rate, and an optical beacon
antenna are incorporated into between the mirror of a room
mirror and a cover and they are united together into an
integrated body. The vehicle antenna is structured such that
it is allowed to transmit and receive signals with respect to
a GPS, a VICS/automatic rate beacon, and an optical beacon
through the windshield of a vehicle. This structure eliminates
the need to install the respective antennas of the vehicle
antenna onto a vehicle body and an instrumental panel, thereby
being able to improve the appearance of the interior of the
vehicle. Also, since the vehicle antenna is incorporated in
the room mirror, the vehicle antenna is not visible directly to
the eyes of a driver and is kept from reflecting its shade into
the windshield to thereby prevent interference with the driving
operation of the driver.

Abstract: The method involves transferring data between a called and a calling subscriber (Tl1,Tl2) using a predefined frame format. The data flow between encoding devices (TCE1,TCE2) associated with the subscribers is divided into a first data flow with sampling values for transmission and into a second data flow with signal parameters for useful data reconstruction and/or signalling for transparent connection. During connection set-up, alternate data packets of simultaneously transferred sampling values and identification information are transmitted instead of the signal parameters and a pure sample value. The alternating transmission is maintained until an acknowledgement is performed by the encoding device of the responding subscriber, especially of the identification information.

Abstract: A method for hot docking and hot undocking a portable computer and a docking station. The portable computer and docking station are physically coupled via a shared PCI bus and an expansion connector. Varying length pins in the expansion connector generate docking and undocking handshaking signals used by microcontrollers in the portable computer and docking station. The portable computer and docking station are functionally connected via low on-resistance switches located in the portable computer. Following a docking event, closure of the switches connects the portion of the shared PCI bus in the docking station with the PCI bus in the portable computer. When the switches are open, the PCI busses are functionally isolated. Both the portable computer and the docking station also include a local arbiter for arbitrating and granting bus control requests from devices coupled to the shared PCI bus. These local arbiters may be placed into an idled state by either the operating system (through system BIOS) or by the microcontrollers. The arbiters are idled during docking and undocking events in order to inhibit bus cycles on the PCI bus, thereby preventing cycles from being lost. Following completion of a hot docking or undocking event, Plug-and-Play system reconfiguration is carried out so that all system resources may be recognized and properly utilized by the operating system.
