Abstract: A brake actuator (90) for use in railway transit and similar
vehicles to adjust for wear of braking components located on such
vehicles. The brake actuator includes an externally threaded or
serrated rod (20) having a longitudinal axis. Such brake actuator
further includes power and slack adjusting collets (92,96) disposed on
the rod and located in respective housings (100,106) disposed about the collets
and rod. A yoke member (27) is disposed about and in engagement with
the power collet housing and a first axially translatable bearing (22)
is disposed on the yoke member. A second fixed bearing (24) is spaced
from the axially translatable bearing and a piston (14) is disposed for
movement in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis of the rod. The piston has an integral fork-shaped wedge (16)
disposed astraddle the threaded or serrated rod for movement to a
location between the bearings. The fork-shaped wedge is effective
to axially translate the first bearing, yoke member, power collet
and rod in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement
of the piston and wedge when the wedge enters between and engages
the bearings.

Abstract: A predriver circuit (25) includes a turn on drive circuit
(25 1 ) having a first amplifier stage (M42, M39) receiving a first
analog current and coupled to a second amplifier stage (M33, M1)
defining a circuit output (20 1 ). The turn on drive circuit (25 1 ) is
responsive to a first state of a digital clock signal (VCLK) to disable
operation of a turn off drive circuit (25 2 ) and supply an amplified
representation of the first analog current to the circuit output (20 1 )
with controlled slew rate for optimum switching speed and
electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance. The predriver
circuit (25) further includes a turn off drive circuit (25 2 ) having three
amplifier stages (M26-27, M24-25, M14, M2-3) responsive to a second
opposite state of the digital clock signal (VCLK) to disable operation
of the turn on drive circuit (25 1 ) and draw an amplified
representation of a second analog current from the circuit output
(20 1 ) with controlled slew rate for optimum switching speed and EMI
performance. The turn on and turn off circuits (25 1 , 25 2 ) also include
circuitry (M34, M36, I3, I4, N1-N4, M40, N5, I1, DM3, D1-D3, R9-10;
DM5, M18, M23, I5-6, N10-13, M43, N8-9, DM4, M22, M19, M4-5)
for minimizing power dissipation during respective operation thereof.
The predriver circuit (25) of the present invention thus provides for
high speed operation with optimum EMI performance in a high
voltage environment while also minimizing power dissipation

Abstract: A toy (12, 112) has a generator (14, 114) and an actuator (16, 116)
therewith. The actuator enables the generator to generate a sound from or movement
by the toy. A removable element (52, 152, 252) is operably connected from outside the
toy to the generator within the toy to enable the generator to perform at a first level of
operation and is removed from operable connection with the generator to enable the
generator to perform at a second level of operation different from the first level. In one
embodiment, a toy (12) includes a sound generator (24) and operative connection with
the removable element (52, 252) enables the generator to generate sound of a first
volume and duration while removal of the removable element enables the sound
generator to generate sound at second volume and/or duration. which is different from
the first volume or duration. In another embodiment, a toy (112) includes a movement
generator (114) and operative engagement with the removable element enables the
generator to produce a first movement of a first duration while removal of the
removable element (152, 252) enables the generator to generate movement different in
duration and/or action from the first movement. The removable element is
incorporated into packaging (32, 132) so that the element is removed from the toy
when the toy is removed from the packaging.

Abstract: A thermal protection mechanism for electric motors is disclosed. A brush is urged into electrical contact with a commutator by a primary brush spring. A thermally deformable fastener releasably secures the primary brush spring to a brush housing. A secondary brush spring urges the brush away from the commutator with a force less than that of the primary spring. A thermal overload condition within the motor causes the thermally deformable fastener to substantially deform so that the force exerted on the brush by the primary spring is substantially reduced. The force exerted by the secondary spring overcomes the primary spring so that the brush is forcefully disengaged from electrical contact with the commutator, thereby terminating operation of the motor.
