Title: Modular Air-Driven Pump
Inventor: CANTLEY GEORGE A
IPC: F04B9/133
Filed: 1997-03-28
Abstract: A modular air-driven pump (10) includes an air motor and various sized fluid pumps (14) which are interchangeably mountable to the air motor. The air motor includes first and second bulkheads (28, 30), a motor cylinder held between the first and second bulkheads, and a motor piston (24) within the motor cylinder (22). An air control system (26) supplies air from an air inlet (42) to the motor cylinder (34) alternately on each side of the motor piston while venting the motor cylinder on an opposite side of the motor piston to an air outlet (44) to reciprocate the motor piston. The first bulkhead has an opening substantially coaxial with the motor cylinder and first and second cylindrically-shaped and coaxial recesses (48, 50) at an outward side of the first bulkhead which surround the opening. The second recess has a larger diameter and a smaller depth than the first recess so that they are stair stepped. Each of the first and second fluid pumps include an end block (74), a pump cylinder (82) held between the end block and the first bulkhead coaxial with the motor cylinder and within one of the recesses, and a pump piston (16) within said pump cylinder. The pump piston is removably connected to the motor piston through the opening for reciprocable movement of the pump piston with the motor piston. The pump cylinder of the first fluid pump is sized and shaped for cooperating with the first recess of the first bulkhead and the pump cylinder of the second fluid pump is sized and shaped for cooperating with the second recess of the first bulkhead. An air-motor enclosure surrounds the air motor and a fluid-pump enclosure surrounds the fluid pump. The fluid-pump enclosure forms an exhaust plenum in fluid communication with the air outlet and has an exhaust outlet to reduce noise created by exhausting air.

Title: Mixer circuits
Inventor: BRETT SEAN
IPC: H03D9/06
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: A sub-harmonically pumped mixer has at least one anti-parallel diode pair 108, 110 switchable at twice the local oscillator frequency. The local oscillator is coupled to the diode pairs via an unbalanced to balanced transformer 112 which provides anti-phased signals to the diode pairs. In a second embodiment (fig.3 not shown), local oscillator signals in anti-phase are derived via a phase-splitter and applied to a circuit including two pairs of transistors of which two transistors conduct at a time to produce a local oscillator signal at double the frequency and mixed with an RF signal applied to the emitter electrodes connected in common. The mixer circuit may form part of a direct conversion or homodyne mixer for use in a portable communication device such as a radio telephone. The invention is particularly useful where control signals such as paging signals on the same frequency are received by all the telephones in the same cell.

Title: Network supervising apparatus with alarm indication
Inventor: COOK MARK DOUGLAS
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: A network supervising apparatus 11 interrogates the network to gather information relating to the devices and links within the network. The information is processed to provide a stress value for each device, part of a device, part of the network or the network as a whole. When the stress value reaches a predetermined threshold value an indication is provided on the display 18 of the network supervising apparatus, in the form of an icon or text message. When the icon is clicked-on the network management software is overlayed on the existing display to provide information relating to the location and details of the network problem. The software operates in a Windows (RTM) environment with the icon appearing in the system tray or application status bar. The stress value may be a measure of operating speed, traffic volume or transmission error rate at a point in the network. The system thus allows a network manager to carry out other tasks using his workstation while monitoring the network.

Title: Modular sports tile with lateral absorption
IPC: E04F15/02
Filed: 1990-02-09
Abstract: A modular tile for interlocking with other similar tiles to form a floor covering which provides enhanced traction at its playing surface and improved tolerance to sudden lateral movement. The tile comprises a plastic support grid having rectangular configuration bounded by a perimeter wall and including a repeating pattern of intersecting cross members with interstitial openings formed inbetween. A plurality of support legs are coupled to a base side of the cross junctions in general perpendicular orientation. Interlock structure is coupled to and extends outward from the perimeter wall to enable removable attachment with other modular tiles of similar design. The interlock structure provides a continuous, uniform displacement gap between adjacent perimeter walls which establishes a separation distance between the range of 0.5 to 2 millimeters, and also provides a yielding response to absorb lateral forces. A continuous sheet of plastic provides a flat surface cap to the tile, which enables its use as part of a continuous flat athletic floor covering.

Title: Driver circuit of field effect thyristor
Inventor: SAGAWA AKIO
IPC: H02M1/08
Filed: 1978-02-03
Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a driver circuit which can drive a field effect thyristor even in a floating state, by keeping a gate-cathode control voltage constant making use of a constant current source as a gate driving source.  
     CONSTITUTION: Constant-current generating circuits 40 and 50 are connected together via resistance 30 and when constant current IG is generated, a voltage between gate G and cathode K becomes the product of resistance value RGK of resistance 30 and constant current IG and field effect thyristor 1 becomes unconductive. Stopping current IG makes a G∼K voltage zero, so that thyristor 1 will become conductive. Since two constant current generating circuits are used in this way, there is no influence to the main circuit side and even if the field effect thyristor is in a floating state, a control signal of a constant voltage can be applied between the gate and cathode, so that reliable switching can be attained.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To quickly and accurately draw out the necessary information out of various types of plant information by drawing out a hierarchy screen when an operator who specifies a touch screen recognizes a pattern. CONSTITUTION:A computer 11 displays a menu screen 15 on a CRT display device 12 and then magnifies only a hierarchy screen 13 of 'ROO 1' to display on the device 12 in place of the screen 15 when an operator touches a specific position of a touch screen 16, e.g., the area of the screen 13 of the 'ROO 1' on the screen 15. Thus the screen 15 is obtained with integration of the screens 13, 14..., and therefore the operator can select the necessary specific screen 13 or 14, etc., by reference to the screen 15 and based on the recognition of a pattern. In such a constitution, the necessary information can be quickly and easily selected out of various types of information.
