Inventor: KEGEL WERNER
IPC: G01D1/18
Filed: 1993-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring and indicating the onset of parturition of a horse. The rapid temporal rise in sweating (sudation) of the mother animal shortly before the birth is used as an indicator for the start of the birth. The sweating of the mother animal is monitored by a sensor. Subsequently, the measurement signal is processed by a signal filter in such a way that long-term changes in sweating are filtered out and rapid temporal changes are amplified. A device for carrying out the method provides a sensor, a signal filter, a limit monitor (comparator) and a holding circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A solid state power controller for switching power on and off to an electrical load which also serves as a circuit protection device protecting the load and/or the wire connected between the load output terminal of the controller and ground from thermal damage due to current overload is shown. When a current overload exists the controller interrupts current to the load in a time inversely proportional to the square of the magnitude of the overload as shown in a trip time vs. load current curve (Fig 4). The controller also limits the load current to a selected maximum level by controlling the drain-source resistance of power MOSFETs (PS1-7) used for switching the power. A secondary interrupt is provided in the event that the junction temperature of the MOSFETs has risen a selected maximum level. A thermal memory feature is included for both interrupt signals. The controller is controlled by a single on/off input line (COMMAND) and provides both a status (STATUS) and trip (TRIP) output line to indicate its state. The status can be configured to monitor load voltage or load current flow as desired. The controller also can be configured to default to either an on or off state in the event the input line is disconnected. The controller is made so that it is externally programmable by providing selected external connection points (MPA, DTA, CLA1, CLA2) and choosing values of certain components (R cl1i , R cl2i , R ii , C ii , R mpi , C mpi ) contained within the sealed controller package which results in selected default condition.

Abstract: A dual-mode radiotelephone terminal includes a π/4-shift DQPSK modulator (11). A dual-mode modulation is achieved by mixing an output of a transmitter oscillator (16) with an output of an offset oscillator (18) to form an injection signal (LO) at a final transmitter frequency, the injection signal being further modulated with a quadrature modulator in a digital mode of operation. In the analog mode of operation the transmitter oscillator or offset oscillator is frequency modulated and the quadrature modulator is disabled, thereby passing the frequency modulated injection signal without substantial attenuation. The LO signal is regenerated and also phase shifted with a circuit (35) having a frequency multiplier (30) and a frequency divider (34). The circuit outputs two local oscillator (LO) signals (LOA and LOB), each of which directly drives an associated quadrature mixer (36, 38) of the modulator. In a further embodiment of the invention the dual-mode radiotelephone terminal includes a VHF synthesizer (23), a UHF synthesizer (21), and a local oscillator (4C) that provides a signal only when operating in the analog receiving mode. The local oscillator signal is mixed with a first IF signal for providing a second IF signal when operating in the analog receiving mode or in a standby mode. The first IF frequency is provided by a standard IF filter (45 MHz) when operating in either the digital or the analog mode of operation. The output of the VHF synthesizer is divided (22) and used as an input to a mixer (4F) that provides a second IF signal when operating in the digital receiving mode. A control signal is employed for selectively enabling and disabling various of these components as a function of the operating mode, thereby conserving power.

Abstract: A system and method is described for displaying data items in a panel when the panel has output fields which are insufficiently long to display some of the data items in full. A panel with data in a plurality of output fields is displayed, in one preferred embodiment, the data being displayed in matrix form. If a first data item is displayed in a truncated manner in a first output field insufficiently long to fully display that first data item, then upon selection of the first output field, a first location on the display is determined at which a first floating output field, sufficiently long to display the first data item in full, will not overlap any significant feature of the panel. The first floating output field is then displayed at this location. An indicia is preferably displayed in any output field to indicate that the data item is displayed therein in a truncated manner. If subsequent output fields are selected containing truncated data, their floating output fields are located so that they do not overlap any previous floating output field. If subsequent locations cannot be identified, the previous output fields can be repositioned. Alternatively, a permissible distance between a truncated output field and its floating output field can be increased.

Abstract: Prevention of communication errors due to interference of carrier waves of identical frequency in a moving-body identification system having a plurality of interrogators (X1, X2, X3...) is accomplished by providing several interrogators (X1, X2, X3...) in respective lanes. An oscillator (10) common to all interrogators (X1, X2, X3...) is provided, and a reference signal (S6) thereof is input to phase-locked loop circuits (11) of the interrogators (X1, X2, X3...), divided by an established fixed ratio, and formed into a carrier wave (S7) of predetermined frequency f1. The carrier wave (S7) is amplitude-shift modulated during a first time interval, and unmodulated carrier wave (S2) of the frequency f1 is output during a second time interval, and a transponder (Y1, Y2, Y3...) modulates and returns this carrier wave. Meanwhile, an interrogator (X3) employs a carrier wave of a frequency which is identical to that of another interrogator (X1) due to the phase-locked loop (11), and the transmission states during the first and second time intervals are identical with those of the second interrogator (X1). Because the carrier-wave frequencies match completely, beat communication error due to crosstalk of the carrier waves of the interrogator X1 and the interrogator X3 does not occur.

Abstract: A rinsing method for a washing machine, which can prevent the waste of the washing liquid and can improve the rinsing effect, is disclosed. The rinsing method has the steps of introducing the washing liquid into an outer tub, spinning a spin tub such that the washing liquid contained in the clothing is discharged into a sump area, repeatedly spraying the washing liquid into the spin tub by circulating the washing liquid collected in the sump area, and draining the washing liquid collected in the sump area out of the washing machine. The rinsing method repeats the steps at least one time. Since the washing liquid is sprayed toward an upper wall of the spin tub, impurities formed between the outer tub and the spin tub are effectively removed. By the rinsing method, the washing liquid can be saved and the rinsing effect can be improved.
