IPC: A61B1/00
Filed: 1991-03-13
Abstract: A bending device for use in an endoscope includes an articulation 
assembly (10) 
constituted of a number of segments (11). In order to increase the rigidity 
of the articulation assembly in its radial direction, each segment can be 
formed from spring metal. More specifically, each segment has a semi-cylindrical 
portion (12) comprising, at opposite circumferential ends, 
a pair of extension portions (13). A pair of notches (15) are formed 
respectively at opposite axial ends of each segment. The 
notches of the adjacent segments are engaged with each other 
and can be angularly movable relative to each other. 
The extension portions (13) of each of the segments (11) are 
bent inwardly with respect to the semi-cylindrical portions (12).

Abstract: Shift shocks by controlling the hydraulic pressure on the
hydraulic servos of the friction engagement elements. A
control apparatus calculates a target hydraulic pressure
P TA  for a condition at the start of the inertia phase in
accordance with the input torque, and calculates a gradient
based on the target hydraulic pressure and a predetermined
time t TA , and performs the first up-sweep of hydraulic
pressure with the gradient. Then, a relatively gradual
gradient δP TA  is set based on a target rotation change rate
for the input rotational speed to provide a predetermined
change amount when the hydraulic pressure becomes the
target hydraulic pressure P TA . The control apparatus
performs the second up-sweep with the gradient δP TA . When
the rotational speed change ΔN of the input rotation becomes
a rotation change start determining rotational speed dN S 
that is detectable by an input shaft rotational speed sensor,
the control apparatus feedback-controls the hydraulic
pressure with a predetermined gradient while referring to
the input rotation change. Further, the control apparatus
detects the target shift start time and the rotational speed
change rate at the target shift start time to learn and
correct the target hydraulic pressure P TA , the gradient δP TA 
of the second sweep section, and the target shift start time
t aim .

Abstract: An output signal of an opto-electric conversion
element 1 is amplified by a differential type pre-amplifier
3 to a predetermined level and input to an ATC circuit 5
as a positive phase signal and an inverted phase signal.
These signals are held in respective peak holding circuits
51 and 52 of the ATC circuit 5. The positive phase signal
held in the peak holding circuit 51 is added by an adder
57 to the inverted phase signal from the pre-amplifier 3
and the inverted phase signal held in the peak holding
circuit 52 is added by an adder 58 to the positive phase
signal from the pre-amplifier 3. Resultant sum signals
are compared by a comparator 7 with a reference and
discriminated as logical "1" and "0". The positive phase
signal from the pre-amplifier 3 is input to a self-reset
circuit 9 including a level detector 91, a reset pulse
generator and a reset circuit 93. The level detector 91
detects a signal from the pre-amplifier 3. The reset
pulse generator 92 generates a reset signal in the form
of a single pulse by using an output of the level detector
91. The reset circuit 93 uses the reset signal to
discharge a holding capacitor of the peak holding
circuit 52. Degradation of duty cycle and of signal
amplitude due to offset of an input signal can be
minimized.

Inventor: KALAMPOUKAS LAMPROS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-06-04
Abstract: A method is disclosed for rate allocation within the individual switches of a communications
network implementing a rate-based congestion control approach for best-effort traffic. The
methodology of the invention centers on a new rate allocation algorithm which performs its
allocation functions independently of the number of connections sharing a network link and
therefore performs an allocation in Θ(1) time. With that implementation simplicity, the algorithm
is particularly advantageous for implementation in ATM switches carrying a large number of virtual
channels. The algorithm operates on bandwidth information supplied from the source of a
connection in special cells or packet headers, such as ATM Resource Management cells. By storing
parameter values for other connections sharing a network link, the algorithm requires a constant
number of simple computations for each request from a connection for a bandwidth allocation. The
algorithm is asynchronous and distributed in nature and converges to the  max-min  fairness
allocation. G60
