Patent EP-0381517-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01T1/26
Filed: 1990-02-02
Abstract: A composite radiation detection and indicating device 
comprises first, third and fifth layers (10,12,14) of a 
transparent conductive material, a second layer (16) of 
semiconductive diamond between the first and third 
layers, and a fourth layer (18) of liquid crystal 
material between the third and fifth layers. The layers 
are sandwiched together so that a diodic structure (20) 
having a radiation-dependent charge storage 
characteristic is defined by the first, second and third 
layers, and a liquid crystal display element (22) is 
defined by the third, fourth and fifth layers. The 
invention extends to a radiation detector including the 
composite device, together with an oscillator (24) for 
applying a charge to the diodic structure, and a sensor 
(T2) for monitoring the decay of the stored charge. A 
voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display element 
(22) to cause it to change state when the charge stored 
by the diodic structure decays below a predetermined 
limit.

Title: Back up braking system
IPC: B60T17/18
Filed: 1990-04-20
Abstract: An electronic vehicle braking system has a back-up 
braking system in which a brake pressure control valve 
(22) is actuated whenever the vehicle brake pedal is 
depressed. The output from the valve (22) is connected 
to a selector valve (24) which isolates the control 
valve (22) from the vehicle brakes when the electronic 
braking system functions correctly, but which allows the 
braking pressure from the control valve (22) to control 
the vehicle braking when the electronic braking system 
is faulty.  
     Also disclosed is a particular example of control 
valve (22) which is suitable for use in controlling a 
spring brake (18, 20) in a back-up mode.

Title: Method for synchronizing the dispatching of tasks among multitasking operating systems
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1990-01-30
Abstract: A method for synchronizing the dispatching of tasks 
from a CPU-based first multitasking operating system (OS) 
with threads of function calls opportunistically dispatched 
from a CPU-based second multitasking operating system. The 
second OS includes a set of callable resources. In the 
method, a task becomes bound to a thread for the duration 
of that thread's ownership of a callable resource from the 
second OS. Also, a thread becomes available on a work 
queue of threads for binding to a task only if the thread 
owns exactly one resource. After execution, the function 
is eliminated from the thread and ownership of that 
resource is relinquished and passed to the next thread 
queued on that resource. A task can remain bound to the 
same thread if there are no other threads asserting 
ownership to the next resource being called by the original 
thread. With contention, however, the task relinquishes 
the thread and becomes bound to another thread on the work 
queue.

Abstract: A fuel metering control system for an internal
combustion engine, having a feedback loop. In the
system, the quantity of fuel injection (Tim) to be supplied
to the engine (plant) is determined outside of the feedback
loop. A first feedback correction coefficient (KSTR) is
calculated using an adaptive law, while a second feedback
correction coefficient (KLAF), whose control response is
inferior to the first feedback correction coefficient, is
calculated using a PID control law. The feedback correction
coefficients are calculated such that the plant output
(air/fuel ratio) is brought to a desired value (desired
air/fuel ratio). The coefficients are calculated at least
in parallel and either of them is selected to be multiplied
to the quantity of fuel injection (Ti).

Abstract: The switch has a contact pad on a fixed carrier Ä24Ü that is selectively engaged by a contact on a movable carrier Ä26Ü that pivots about a point. The motion is produced by a manually operated rocker Ä18Ü that is supported on a central spindle ÄS1Ü. One end of the rocker engages an angled surface Ä17Ü on an element Ä20Ü that can pivot a small amount and is located against a spring loaded slide element Ä16Ü. This moves and causes a spring loaded element Ä14Ü to displace the movable contact carrier to open the contacts.

Abstract: In a magnetic recording medium to detect tracking error signals
optically where an optical head and a magnetic head scan
different tracks, two signals having phases different by π/2 are
generated and added or subtracted. By changing the amplitude of
the two signals with a changeable gain amplifying means, a phase
of a tracking error signal is changed so that the servo operation
is conducted at the middle of the amplitude of the tracking error
signal to keep the magnetic head on track.

Abstract: This invention teaches a method, and circuits that operate in accordance with the
method, for decoding data received from a communications channel. The method
includes the steps of: (a) receiving a modulated communications signal that conveys
block encoded data having at least a data field and a syndrome data field; and (b)
determining transition metrics and path metrics for the block encoded data. The step
of determining path metrics includes a step of retaining path metrics only for a
Maximum-Likelihood (ML) path and for a second best ML path. The method further
includes a step of: (c) decoding the block encoded data by performing either a full or a
partial traceback operation for both the ML path metrics and also for the second best
ML path metrics. In a full traceback there is obtained from the ML path a first plurality
of detected bits representing the data field, a second plurality of detected bits from
the ML path representing the syndrome data field, a third plurality of detected bits
from the second best ML path representing the data field, and a fourth plurality of
detected bits from the second best ML path representing the syndrome data field. A
next step (d) determines a syndrome from the first plurality of detected bits, and then
compares the determined syndrome to the second plurality of detected bits. Upon a
match a next step (e) outputs the first plurality of detected bits as a received frame of
data. If the step of comparing the determined syndrome to the second plurality of
detected bits does not indicate a match, the method instead: (f) determines a
syndrome from the third plurality of detected bits; (g) compares the determined
syndrome to the fourth plurality of detected bits and, upon a match, (h) outputs the
third plurality of detected bits as a received frame of data.

Abstract: A magnetic actuator arrangement, principally for a vacuum switching apparatus, employs,
instead of precision ball-joint bearings (16) supporting the armature (14), simple bushes (40)
with an inside diameter deliberately greater than the outside diameter of the armature spindle
(15), such that the armature (14) is a loose fit inside the bushes (40). The effect of this is to
enable the armature (14) to make non-rotational movements in the plane perpendicular to the
spindle (15), and so automatically to assume a properly seated position with respect to the pole
pieces (21, 22) of the magnets (10, 11) when the latter are energised, thereby eliminating an
undesirable vibration at the magnet-armature interface. With conventional bearings having
negligible play, this can only be done after time-consuming manual adjustment of the bearing
locations by skilled technical personnel.

Abstract: Electric motors (102) having controllable induced
armature fields, such as induction motors and synchronous
reluctance motors, are used in power assisted steering
systems for motor vehicles. Power is conserved by tailoring
induced armature fields or rotor flux in accordance with the
speeds of motor vehicles including the power assisted
steering system. In particular, one or more flux programs or
maps are provided for the power assisted steering system with
the flux map or program being accessed or addressed by means
of the vehicle speed. During low speed operation of the
motor vehicle, for example to perform parking manoeuvres
where speeds are near zero and steering forces are near or at
maximum, the rotor flux is programmed to maximum. For high
speed operation, such as highway and rural motor vehicle
operation, the rotor flux is programmed to a low value so
that internal loss mechanisms in the power assist motor and
motor controller are minimised yet provide sufficient rotor
flux to meet steering needs such as lane changes, obstacle
avoidance and the like. Various transition speeds and flux
transition curves provide smooth transitions between high
flux levels and low flux levels.
