Abstract: A pickup unit is used for converting vibrations of strings (S) to electric
signals for producing electric tones at good loudness, and the pickup unit includes
a bridge assembly (10) stationary to a body (B) of the stringed instrument,
vibration-responsive piezoelectric elements (40) secured at the end
portions thereof to the bridge assembly (10) and vibration mediators (20) held

Abstract: A power supply including a transformer (5) having a primary
winding ( N   1 ) connected to a pair of a.c. input terminals (1, 2) via a rectifier
circuit (4, 4   a   , 4   b   ) and a secondary winding ( N   2 ) connected to a pair of d.c.
output terminals (11, 12) via a rectifying and smoothing circuit (6).
Connected between a pair of outputs (43, 45) of the rectifier circuit via the
transformer primary ( N   1 ), a primary switch ( Q   1 ) is turned on and off to
keep the d.c. output voltage constant. Electromagnetically coupled together,
two inductance coils ( L   1 ,  L   2 ) are connected to the rectifier circuit
for improvements in power factor and input waveform. 
     For zero-voltage switching of the primary switch ( Q   1 ), an ancillary
switch ( Q   2 ) is connected in parallel with the serial connection of the transformer
primary ( N   1 ) and the primary switch ( Q   1 ) in order to provide a discharge
circuit for a soft-switching capacitor ( C q     1 ) connected in parallel
with the primary switch. Switching loss is reduced by causing the
soft-switching capacitor to discharge before the primary switch is turned
on.

Abstract: A channelizing receiver is provided with a plurality
of channel receivers for monitoring respective segments of a
frequency band being monitored by the channelizing receiver.
Each channel receiver includes a channel processor for
detecting an electromagnetic signal, measuring the peak
amplitude of the electromagnetic signal and comparing this
peak amplitude with the peak amplitudes for the
electromagnetic signal detected by adjacent channel receivers.
Data responsive to a detected signal is transmitted from a
channel receiver only if the channel receiver's measured peak
amplitude is higher than that for the adjacent channel
receivers. The data include an estimate of the frequency and
bandwidth of the detected signal made by the channel receiver
transmitting the data based upon an assessment of the relative
peak amplitudes.

Abstract: When power insufficiency determination means (82) determines that a vehicle
is in a power insufficiency state requiring a driving force higher than that obtained at
the lowest gear stage (G1) of multiple gears for normal running of the vehicle, the
shift control means 80 controls the transmission (16) to automatically perform
downshifting from the lowest gear stage (G1) to the emergency low speed gear stage
(Gu). This makes it possible to establish the emergency low speed gear stage with the
gear ratio greater than that obtained at the lowest gear stage (G1) for normal running
of the vehicle without requiring skilled technique.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de mise en route d'un réseau de paquets permettant d'offrir des niveaux de service à sélectionner à différents flots de communication. Ce procédé offre plus de flexibilité à un utilisateur réseau dans l'allocation d'un niveau de service à un flot donné que dans les réseaux conventionnels en mode de transfert asynchrone. Il propose, en outre, une meilleure différenciation entre différentes qualités de service par rapport aux procédés mis en oeuvre dernièrement pour les réseaux fondés sur le protocole Internet. L'identification de paquets appartenant à des flots nécessitant un niveau relativement élevé de service et, en réponse, la possibilité pour ces paquets d'accéder à une capacité qui serait autrement retenue permettent d'assurer un niveau de service relativement élevé pour les flots de tels paquets. L'invention est spécialement indiquée pour apporter des flots sélectionnés le long de lignes d'abonnés résidentielles haute vitesse à Internet (p. ex. ADSL) avec un niveau plus élevé de capacité que pour les autres flots. La capacité de retenue peut comprendre la capacité qui est normalement masquée à l'utilisateur final par la configuration du réseau. L'émetteur et/ou le destinataire d'un flot peut être taxé pour le niveau élevé de service prêté dans le cadre de ce flot.
