IPC: H01R13/629
Filed: 1996-03-12
Abstract: A connector position assurance system is provided for an electrical connector (10) adapted to mate with another mateable connecting device. The connector includes a housing (12,14) having an interior cavity (16). A flexible locking arm (28) is provided on the housing and is adapted for locking engagement with appropriate lock means of the mateable connecting device. The locking arm is flexibly movable between a locking position when the connector is fully mated with the device inwardly to an unlocking position of incomplete mating of the connector with the device. A locking member (18) is mounted substantially within the interior cavity (16) of the connector housing and includes an actuating portion (66) exposed exteriorly of the housing. The locking member (18) is movable between a first position allowing movement of the locking arm (28) and mating of the connector and the device, and a second position blocking inward movement of the locking arm (28) away from its locking position when the connector and the device are fully mated. The locking arm (28) in its unlocking position of incomplete mating of the connector and the device blocks movement of the locking member (18) from its first position to its second position, thereby indicating that the connector (10) and the device are not fully mated.

Abstract: An improved holographic backlight (10) and liquid crystal display (21) system. The holographic backlight (10) comprises a cold cathode fluorescent tube (11) for providing white light, and a light pipe (13) disposed to receive the white light. A phase retarding film layer (14) is attached to a first surface (15) of the light pipe (13). A double-layer reflection/ transmission hologram (16) is disposed on an output surface (17) of the light pipe (13) opposite the film layer (14). Light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube (11) is injected into the light pipe (13), and is diffracted off of the double-layer hologram (16). This produces quasi-collimated s-polarized light having well-defined spectral colors that is transmitted by the hologram (16) in an array of red, green, and blue patches of light corresponding to the clear apertures of the red, green, and blue elements (22) of an active matrix liquid crystal display (21). The result is a liquid crystal display (21) with high display brightness, reduced battery power requirements, increased battery lifetime, and high contrast over a wide viewing angle.

Abstract: The transmission circuit includes an integrated logic circuit (IC) with two MOS switching transistors which conduct one at a time and which produce pulses of opposite polarity for transmission to the signal line via an output transformer (U1). The primary winding (P) is supplied from a source of either low or high internal impedance. When one MOS transistor (M1) is conducting, the low-impedance source is a transistor (Q1) operated within its linear range. The high-impedance source is a resistive voltage divider (R7,R3,R4) becoming effective when the same transistor is driven into saturation. The other MOS transistor (M2) functions similarly with corresponding components (Q2;R7,R6,R5).

Abstract: A system and method for automating workflow by distributing the tasks required for the execution of said workflow over servers and clients connected on a network. The disclosed system and method allow the stages of the workflow to be performed asynchronously, meaning that, once a workflow initiated by a user has been initiated by a database server, the stages of the workflow can be executed on respective network clients without further interaction with the server (i.e., without requiring a stateful connection between the clients and servers). This is accomplished through the use of a workflow courier that embodies all programs (encompassing rules governing the execution of the workflow) and forms needed by clients to complete stages of the workflow. The workflow courier also stores workflow state information that indicates which stages of the workflow have been completed. The executable programs are written in the platform-independent Java programming language and are therefore executable on any computer that has an installed Java browser. After each stage is executed, the client executing that stage updates the workflow courier and transmits the updated workflow courier to a client having an associated user who is authorized to perform the next step in the workflow. The updated state information indicates to the recipient of the workflow which stages remain to be completed.

Abstract: Le procédé permet de tester le contact curseur/disque dans une unité à disque comprenant un disque rotatif et une tête montée par un actionneur pour le positionnement sélectif de la tête sur le disque, la tête ayant un curseur, et un moteur à broche pour faire tourner le disque. Le procédé comprend les étapes d'alimentation électrique du moteur pour provoquer la rotation du disque à une vitesse de rotation présélectionnée correspondant à une vitesse de rotation nominale pour le disque lors d'une opération normale de lecture/écriture, puis à arrêter l'alimentation du moteur à broche pour que la vitesse de rotation du disque s'abaisse jusqu'à tomber à une vitesse nulle. Pendant la décélération du disque vers la vitesse de rotation nulle, un couplage acoustique s'établit entre un détecteur d'émissions acoustiques ayant une sortie électrique et le moteur à broche afin de fournir des premiers signaux électriques représentant des émissions acoustiques provenant du moteur à broche, y compris des émissions acoustiques provoquées par le contact curseur/disque. Lorsque le disque décélère jusqu'à la vitesse de rotation zéro, une sonde électrique est couplée au moteur à broche pour fournir des seconds signaux électriques représentant une FEM de retour générée par le moteur à broche pendant la décélération du disque jusqu'à la vitesse zéro. Les premiers signaux électriques sont contrôlés pour obtenir une première indication du contact curseur/disque, et les seconds signaux sont utilisés au moment de la première indication du contact curseur/disque obtenue des premiers signaux électriques afin de calculer la vitesse de rotation du disque au moment de cette première indication du contact curseur/disque. La vitesse de rotation calculée est comparée à une valeur seuil relative à une vitesse désirée de décollage ou atterrissage (descente) de la tête de l'unité à disque et une indication est fournie lorsque le vitesse de rotation calculée dépasse la valeur seuil.
