Abstract: A refrigerator (10) for recreational vehicles (12) comprising a generally cubic cabinet (27) having front,
back and top sides (28,30,32,40) along with absorbent-type refrigerating apparatus (34) on the back side (32). A flap
member (42) adjustably mounted on the back side (32) at a position above the refrigerating apparatus (34)
extends upwardly and outwardly from the cabinet (27) into sealing engagement with the walls of the
compartment (49) in the recreational vehicle (12) in which the refrigerator (10) is installed. The configuration
of the flap member (42) and the mounting of the flap member (42) so that it can readily be adjusted to a
number of positions enhances the ability of the flap member (42) to prevent gases created by the
refrigerating apparatus (34) from propagating into the living quarters of the recreational vehicle (12).

IPC: H03F1/02

Abstract: The new signal amplifiers dynamically adjust based on
the signal's power level. When used on multi-beam satellites
(2), increased signal power indicates an increase in traffic
on the channel. The power level of the input signal (4) is
sensed and converted to a DC signal (step 38), which is applied
(step 50) to a control terminal (26) of a power supply
(28) that regulates DC power supplied to the amplifier (22).
During periods of increased traffic, an increase in system
power is allocated to the channel. By monitoring traffic on a
plurality of channels, available onboard power is allocated
based upon the relative channel requirements. The sensed
power of multiple channels is summed and scaled (steps 46 and
48 respectively) to determine the power requirement of the
channel relative to the other channels. A command voltage received
(step 60) from a ground station (6) may be switched in
place of the summed voltage to allow amplification levels to
be controlled from the ground station (6).

Abstract: Impact tool is operated with reciprocating drive between end stops and is guided by one or more sleeve bearings inside an outer guide (10). Each bearing comprises an inner sleeve (16) which guides the shaft of the tool and an outer sleeve (17) of elastic material which slides inside the guide. The outer sleeve is contoured (17b) on the outside to allow a tilt action of the tool inside the support guide, thus preventing jamming of the tool and prolonging bearing life. The bearing tilts about in either direction about a central plane (18).

Abstract: A MOS track-and-hold circuit incorporating cancellation
of error due to switch feedthrough is described. To eliminate
the channel charge feedthrough due to oxide capacitance, a
switched capacitor source (22) is connected to be charged to a
voltage V1 during the "hold" phase and between the input node
(12) and the switch gate (17) to provide a voltage V1 - Vin
during the "track" phase. A dummy transistor (26) biased in an
"off" condition has its drain connected to the holding capacitor
(15) and its gate switched between ground and the output terminal
(Vout which tracks Vin) to also cancel the feedthrough from the
gate-drain overlap capacitance and any gate-drain parasitic
capacitance.

Abstract: The invention is a method of treating exhaust
gases generated by an internal combustion engine, by
locating a nitrogen oxide trap in the exhaust gas passage
and cycling the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust gases entering
the trap between lean and rich, such that the trap absorbs
nitrogen oxides during the lean cycle and desorbs the
nitrogen oxides during the rich cycle. The trap consists
essentially of: (a) a porous support material comprising
mostly γ-alumina and (b) precious metal comprising at least
0.5 to 4 wt. % platinum deposited on the support, the amount
of the platinum being based on the weight of said support
material. The desorbed nitrogen oxides may be converted over
the precious metal to N 2  and O 2  by reductants like
hydrocarbons present in the exhaust gas.

Abstract: System to clean dust away from the yarn feed in a knitter, uses an air stream (11) with its working range is generally over the zone (17) where the yarns (6) travel from the yarn feed (5) to the needle section (4) of the knitter (2). Preferred Features: The air stream (11) emerges from the blower (9) to move over the yarn path zone (17). On leaving the blower (9), the air stream (11) first strikes the yarn feed (5), and the air deflected from it passes generally outside the yarn path zone (17). The air stream (11) moves vertically downwards, in the outer zone (8) of the knitter (2). The inner zone (7) with the needle section (4) is defined by the flanking outer zones (8). The air is extracted from the knitter (2) by a suction system (13) at the base (12) of the assembly. The air propelled by the blower (9) into the knitter has been cleaned, moistened and/or heated. An air stream (15) is blown into the inner zone (7) of the knitter (2) through an air feed (14) towards the needle section (4), moving vertically downwards. The air stream (15) into the inner zone (7) of the knitter (2) is at a speed which generates an over pressure in the inner zone (7), to give a slow drift of the air stream (15) as far as the outer zones (8) where it meets the outer air streams (11) to be deflected together with them towards the base (12). The inner air stream (15) slowly penetrates through the yarn path zone (17) in a laminar air flow structure. The air stream (15) passes to the base area (12) or is extracted (13) by suction. The inner air stream (15) has been cleaned, moistened and/or heated.

Abstract: A Bayesian classifier includes an algorithm for estimating the true probability
that a feature is present within a given class of examples by performing a linear
interpolation between the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability that
the feature is present within the class, and the maximum likelihood estimate of
the probability that the feature is present in any class. The weighting factor used
in the interpolation is based on the probability that the presence of the feature
is independent of the given class. In one embodiment, this weighting factor is
calculated as the chi-square probability that the observed association between
the presence of the feature and the class is due to chance. The subject algorithm
incorporated into the Bayesian classifier may be used to provide more accurate
estimates of the so-called likelihood probabilities used by the Bayesian classifier,
thus to allow the Bayesian classifier to perform more accurate classifications,
with the Bayesian classifier being used for numerous applications in natural
language processing and other fields. In one embodiment, the Bayesian classifier
is applied to the natural-language processing task of correcting textual errors in
which an incorrect word was inadvertently substituted for a correct word within
a sentence.
