Abstract: A vehicular transmission comprises an engine E, a continuously
variable transmission CVT and a starting clutch 5. The driving force from the
engine E is conveyed through the continuously variable transmission CVT with
a speed change to a countershaft 2, and the starting clutch 5 is used to convey
this driving force from the countershaft 2 to wheels of a vehicle. In this power
transmission, when the vehicle is decelerated for a halt, the fuel supply to the
engine is terminated to decelerate the vehicle. In addition, the starting clutch 5
is released gradually under a predetermined condition, and then the engine E is
stopped to bring the vehicle into a halt.

Abstract: A server and method for determining physical connectivity between end nodes
and networking devices within a network. With respect to one embodiment, the method
comprises an initial act of establishing levels of priority for a plurality of link types
capable of being established between networking devices and end nodes of a
communication system. For example, as described herein, the types of links include an
inferred link having a first level of priority, and other link types having a lesser priority.
Once the priority levels are established, the method involves initially detecting a plurality
of links associated with selected ports of the networking devices. After detection of these
links, a determination is made from these links as to which links are associated with the
end nodes and have the highest priority level. From that group, the physical connectivity
between the end nodes and the networking devices is ascertained.

Title: Method and apparatus for measurering parameters of an electrical system
Inventor: BALLANTYNE ALEX
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: Time Deviation (TDEV) of a synchronous telecommunications system is measured by
reference to an input series of data samples (TIE, 405). Samples are received and
processed at a first data rate so as to produce in real-time at least first and second time-varying
series of TDEV measurements (440, 484), the first and second series of
measurements representing TDEV with regard to respective first and second observation
intervals (τ), the second observation interval being longer than the first. A first process is
implemented in real time by (i) performing a first low pass filter process (410) on said
input series of data samples so as to produce a first low pass filtered series of data
samples (450), and (ii) performing a first further process (420,430) on said first low pass
filtered series of samples to obtain the first series of TDEV measurements. A first
reduced rate series of samples (470) is extracted from said first low pass filtered series of
data samples. A second process (480-482) is performed in real time using said first
reduced rate series of samples (470) to obtain the second series of TDEV measurements.
In the embodiment disclosed, such operations are repeated to produce, third, fourth etc
series of TDEV measurements in real time, with the benefit of a greatly reduced data
quantity at each stage. Reduction may for example be by octaves or decades.
Intermediate stages can be provided, according to the desired observation intervals.

Abstract: A sampling system for detecting an analyte, comprising a diaphragm pump, a buffer chamber, a sensor head and intake port. The pump includes a chamber for receiving fluids via first and second ports. A buffer chamber is located at the second port for holding a quantity of air, and a sensor head is adapted to identify the presence of a desired analyte and produce a signal in response to the quantity identified. Preferably the diaphragm pump has a volume of gas per stroke capacity slightly larger than the volume of the sensor head such that the pump chamber has a greater volume than the buffer chamber and the buffer chamber has about the same volume as the sensor head. A sensor intake port intakes a sample potentially containing the analyte for contact with the sensor head upon operation of the diaphragm pump and out of the sensor head by jet-action caused by rapid movement of the diaphragm pump. A filter may be used for filtering air drawn through the pump chamber. The diaphragm pump may be either a single chamber pump or a multiple chamber diaphragm mesopump. In the purging mode, the system can also contain a pump for filling the system with clean air. When a mesopump is used, a single pumping channel can provide both AC and DC operation.
