Patent EP-0614301-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FITCH BLAKE G
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1994-01-07
Abstract: A message packet transmitter for transmitting a packet of electronic data signals onto a communication network without interruption. A first-in, first-out electronic memory has a transmit state in which an electronic data signal stored therein is output. The electronic memory has an idle state in which electronic data signals stored therein are not output. A message packet-in-transit identification circuit generates a packet-in-transit signal after the electronic memory outputs the first electronic data signal in a message packet. A no-packet-in-transit signal is generated after the electronic memory outputs the last electronic data signal in the message packet. A state controller maintains the electronic memory in the transmit state when the electronic memory stores at least a portion of a message packet, when the state controller receives a packet-in-transit signal, and when the state controller receives an interrupt-pending signal.

Abstract: A crimp height adjustment mechanism (4) is disclosed for use in a crimping machine having an anvil (42) and a ram (44) carrying a crimping die (46). The ram is secured against rotation and guided for reciprocal movement along a ram axis (R-R) for moving the crimping die toward and away from the anvil. A drive member (52) is connected for reciprocating the ram. The adjustment mechanism includes a first member (10) fixed with respect to the anvil and having a first threaded portion (12) of a first thread pitch extending along an adjustment axis parallel to the ram axis. A second member (20) has a second threaded portion (22) coaxial to the first threaded portion. The second threaded portion has a second thread pitch which differs from the first thread pitch. The second member is secured against rotation and coupled to move the ram linearly along the ram axis. A third member (30) has both a third threaded portion (32) which is threadedly engaged with the first threaded portion, and a fourth threaded portion (34) which is threadedly engaged with the second threaded portion. The third member is rotatable about an adjustment axis (A-A) so as to change an extent of engagement with the first and second threaded portions. Rotation of the third member about the adjustment axis produces a linear movement of the second member which is equal to a number of rotations of the third member multiplied by a difference between the first and second pitches.

Abstract: A system determining an intended cursor location on the computer display screen and automatically repositions the cursor at the intended location. If the user selects a command that alters the contents of the display, such as opening a new window, the system analyzes the new screen display to determine whether there are user selectable options associated with the new screen display. The system determines if one of the user selectable options is a default option and automatically positions the cursor at the default option. If the new screen display is an application program, the system attempts to locate a user selectable option and repositions the cursor at the user selectable option. When the new window is closed, the system returns the cursor to the position it was at before the new window was opened. The system also predicts an intended location for a screen display that has not been altered, and automatically positions the cursor at the intended location. This feature can be selectively enabled to prevent the inadvertent repositioning of the cursor in the display.

Abstract: Within the casing of the device or machine to be monitored there is at least one closely connected vibration transducer (2) with an associated wide-band amplifier (3) which drives one or more band-pass filters (5) with different cut-off frequencies which are selected within the limits of the vibration spectrum of the correct operation of the machine or device, and set individually by means of a programmable control circuit (6). The outputs of the filters (5) are compared with programmable reference voltages in corresponding comparators (10) and variations with respect to these thresholds activate optical and/or acoustic signalling systems (11) to warn the operator that the monitored device or machine is approaching or is in a state of malfunction. The use of CMOS technology and the short operating time, which does not exceed ten hours, enable the vibration transducer and the corresponding electronic circuits, the signalling means and the power supply unit (12) to be integrated within the casing of the heart-lung machine or of the part of it, for example the oxygenator, which is to be monitored.

Abstract: An aircraft autobrake system utilizes a hydraulic fluid pressure sensor to provide a signal proportional to brake hydraulic fluid pressure magnitude to a control system. The control system uses closed loop feedback of this pressure signal to control autobrake application. Such control avoids pressure or deceleration overshoot or undershoot caused by not achieving brake stack closure when deceleration control is applied. Upon landing, if autobrake control command plus the change in autobrake control command necessary to eliminate deceleration error is less than a specified minimum, then brake stack closure needs to be maintained. In that case, the control system determines hydraulic fluid pressure error and adjusts hydraulic fluid pressure to eliminate such pressure error, using closed loop feedback. Upon elimination of pressure error, indicating brake stack closure, deceleration control then applies autobraking to slow the aircraft without pressure or deceleration overshoot or undershoot. If upon landing, the autobrake control command plus the change in autobrake control command necessary to eliminate deceleration error is greater than a specified minimum, then deceleration control is used to apply braking and decelerate the aircraft.

Abstract: The precision of an initial image is reduced through image automatic processing in a manner simulating techniques used in the production of a custom art work. The resulting image, although generated without human intervention, has a pleasing, customized appearance which can be desirable to consumers seeking decorative art work. One way of reducing the precision of the initial image is modifying portions of the image to have more uniform luminance, color saturation, or color hue, producing a resulting image appearing to contain brush strokes. Alternatively, the precision of the initial image is reduced by locating contrast edges in the image, and modifying the luminance along these edges, producing a resulting image in which objects and features are outlined and have an enhanced definition from the background.

Abstract: A limit is placed on charges to be incurred on a telecommunications call. Normally, this limit is specified by the caller. The telecommunications network maintains a running tally of the charges being incurred and notifies the caller when the charges approach the limit. At that time, the caller may specify a new limit, simply disconnect, or be automatically disconnected when the limit is reached. Advantageously, callers can limit the charges on a particular call without having to be aware of the exact charging parameters for that call.
