Patent CA-2422823-C (CA)
Inventor: ROUSSY RICHARD BRIAN
IPC: A61G7/012
Filed: 2001-09-28
Granted: 2009-06-30
Abstract: A vertically adjustable mechanical bed consisting of a bed frame for support of a mattress and occupant attached to moveable leg means powered by a motor means. Operation of the motor means causes a bearing block attached to the leg means to move longitudinally along a guide rod means, thereby collapsing the leg means beneath the bed and moving the bed frame vertically. Collapsing the bed to its substantially lowermost position causes the bearing block to engage a spring, thereby compressing said spring between the bearing block and a transverse member of the bed frame. The energy stored by the compression of the spring is used to raise the bed from its substantially lowermost position.  Pivotally attached to the leg means is a rolling means consisting of a caster and foot arrangement. During normal operation, the foot is firmly engaged with the floor surface. When the bed frame moves to its substantially uppermost position, a pin extending from the leg means and constrained in a slot on a flanged face of the rolling means engages one end of the slot, thereby causing the rolling means to pivot and the caster to engage the floor, rendering the bed horizontally mobile.

Title: Method of converting a series of m-bit information words to a modulated signal, method of producing a record carrier, coding device, decoding device, recording device, reading device, signal, as well as a record carrier
Inventor: SCHOUHAMER IMMINK KORNELIS ANT
IPC: G11B23/00
Filed: 1995-02-01
Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: The Patent Application relates to a method of converting a series of m-bit information words (1) to a modulated signal (7). For each information word from the series an n-bit code word (4) is delivered. The delivered code words (4) are converted to the modulated signal (7).      The code words (4) are distributed over at least one group (G11, G12) of a first type and at least one group (G2) of a second type. For the delivery of each of the code words belonging to the group (G11, G12) of the first type the associated group establishes a coding state (S1, S4) of the first type. When each of the code words (4) belonging to the group (G2) of the second type is delivered, a coding state (S2, S3) of the second type is established which is determined by an information word belonging to the delivered code word. When one of the code words (4) is assigned to the received information word (1), this code word is selected from a set (V1, V2, V3, V4) of code words which depends on the coding states (S1, S2, S3, S4). The sets of code words (V2, V3) belonging to the coding states (S1, S2) of the second type are disjunct. In this coding method the number of unique bit combinations that may be established by the code words in the series are enlarged. The modulated signal (7) thus obtained may be reconverted to information words (4) by first converting the modulated signal (7) to a series of code words (4) and then assigning an information word (1) to each of the code words from the series in dependence on the code word to be converted and also in dependence on the logical values of the bit string bits which are situated at predetermined positions relative to the code word. Furthermore, a recording device and a reading device are disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic circuit measures a pulse frequency and/or a pulse period of pulses in a sensor signal originating in a sensor coil, the pulses being zero crossing pulses. The circuit includes a filter stage having an input connected to the sensor coil, the filter stage being for removing electrical noise from the sensor signal to provide a filtered sensor signal. The circuit also has a signal strength sensing circuit connected to receive at least one of the sensor signal and the filtered sensor signal, the signal strength sensing circuit producing a variable threshold signal, which is a substantially monotonically non-decreasing function of a strength of the sensor signal. A  variable threshold zero crossing detector is connected to receive the filtered sensor signal and the variable threshold signal. The variable threshold zero crossing detector has an upper threshold to test for zero crossing in a positive direction and a lower threshold to test for zero crossing in a negative direction. One or both of the thresholds is dependent on the variable threshold signal. The variable threshold zero crossing detector generates a clean square-wave pulse train indicative of positive and negative zero crossings. The circuit also includes an output circuit generating a signal indicative of the pulse frequency and/or the pulse period.
