Abstract: To obtain a flexible transmission system which can be adjusted to the meet the individual desires of a driver, the choice of the desired value of the rate of revolution of the primary axle in the system, based on the current position of an accelerator pedal, and based on the current rate of revolution of the secondary axle of the system, is influenced, whereby several sub ranges are composed from the range of possible desired rate of revolution values of the primary axle, so that the possible positional values of the accelerator pedal can be combined with one of the sub ranges, to choice. A sub range preferably serves as a model for a desired type of driving programme. If desired, the boundary values of the sub range can be continuously adjusted through the use of potentiometers which are operated by the driver. 
     To assist in the realisation of a simple-to-implement digital construction, the sub range values are stored in a memory.

Abstract: This invention provides surface hardened, abrasion resistant high strength, biocompatible metal medical implants, in particular, titanium alloy implants which do not include any elements which have been shown or suggested as having short term or long term potential adverse effect from a standpoint of biocompatibility. Further, the invention provides methods of strengthening and hardening the surfaces of other titanium, zirconium, and cobalt-based alloy implants with small concentrations of a metal solute such as zirconium, yttrium, tantalum, aluminum, silicon, chromium, or thorium via internal oxidation or nitridation. Alternatively, nitrogen, oxygen, or carbon can be diffused directly into the surface of the implants by interstitial hardening to further increase the surface abrasion resistance of these internally oxidized or internally nitridized implant metal or metal alloys.

Abstract: Debugging and/or modifying of ROM-based (102) embedded software systems is realized by advantageously employing an extensible interpreter (103) and inserting requests for "Customizable Call-Outs" (CCOs)(204) throughout the ROM-based embedded software. Then, the ROM-based embedded software system can easily be directly enhanced, i.e., extended, at run time to provide virtually limitless new functionality. Advantages of the invention are that the ROM-based embedded system software does not need to be rebuilt or reloaded, and the functionality of the debugging/modifying software is decided at the time of detecting a problem and/or of providing a modification, not before. By employing the extensible interpreter, the extension to the ROM-based embedded software is implemented, i.e., written and loaded (e.g.206), in the system directly, without the need for or use of an additional external computer platform or compiler.

Abstract: A voltage control circuit comprises a transformer (18) having at least a first primary winding (17) and at least first (20) and second (21) secondary windings, the winding direction of the second secondary winding (21) being opposite the winding direction of the first secondary winding (20). An input is coupled to the primary winding (17), first and second switch devices (11,12) are each coupled to the primary winding of the transformer, and a clamp capacitor is coupled to the transformer and at least one of the first and second switches. Each of the secondary windings (20,21) is coupled through a rectifier circuit and an output filter to a separate output. Means comprising a single feedback circuit (13,15), coupled on one side to one of the output filters and on the other side to control terminals of the first and second switches, cause the first and second switches to conduct current alternately. Although the circuit of the invention has only one feedback circuit, both outputs are capable of delivering different constant voltages ( V     out     1 ,  V     out     2 ) to different independent loads. The voltage magnitude supplied by each of the outputs depends on the ratio of the number of turns of the first (20) and second (21) secondary windings. Moreover, not only two, but any number of voltage outputs can be taken from the circuit by providing a corresponding number of secondary windings to the transformer.

Abstract: A directed fiber, directed energy process provides both a method and an apparatus for making structural preforms. Fibrous reinforcement material is chopped into short lengths of fiber and propelled toward a perforate mold part. During propulsion and/or deposition on the perforate mold part the fibers are sprayed with an electromagnetic radiation-curable binder. The binder-carrying fibers are held on the perforate mold part by a flow of air in that the perforate mold part is rotatably mounted in a plenum which provides an air flow therethrough. Rotation of the perforate mold part and scanning action of the fiber and binder propelling mechanisms effects even and complete coverage of the perforate mold part. After a mat of the chopped fibers has been applied to the perforate mold part, a conforming second mold part closes the mold and presses the fibers to replicate the shape of the three dimensional rigid preform. While in the mold, which may be advantageously constructed of an electromagnetic radiation transmissive material, the pressed fibers are subjected to electromagnetic radiation to cure the binder and bond the fibers of the mat into a rigid three-dimensional element. A subassembly, such as an auxiliary member or members, may be attached by applying an electromagnetic energy-curable binder to a selected area of the preform and/or the subassembly, placing the auxiliary member into a desired orientation and into intimate contact with the preform at the selected binder-coated area, and the binder at that area cured by the application of the electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic energy may be, for example, microwave radiation and/or ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: The spectral energy characteristic of a discharge lamp is controlled by changing the density of the fill substance. The spectral characteristic can be shifted while substantially maintaining its shape by changing the density of the fill. A sulfur or selenium containing discharge lamp which is operated at a pressure of at least about 1 atmosphere contains a low ionization potential substance in the fill. Characteristics which are improved are one or more of spatial color uniformity, extinguishing characteristics, and bulb starting reliability. Particular substances which are added to the fill are alkali metal containing substances, III B metal containing substances, and alkaline earth metal containing substances. When light is reflected back into the bulb, the light which is re-emitted is stronger in the higher wavelengths. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for recovering arsenic acid from a starting mixture comprising sulfuric and arsenic acids and water. In step (a), the starting mixture is treated with a sulfur (IV) compound which will reduce the arsenic acid to arsenic (III) compound under conditions sufficient to substantially convert the arsenic acid to arsenic (III) wherein the resulting mixture comprises arsenic (III) compound, the sulfur (IV) compound, sulfuric acid, and water. In step (b), the resulting mixture is purged with inert gas to substantially remove the sulfur (IV) compound from the mixture wherein the purged mixture comprises the arsenic (III) compounds, sulfuric acid, and water. In step (c), the purged mixture is treated under conditions sufficient to substantially separate the arsenic (III) compounds from the purged mixture. In step (d), the separated arsenic (III) compound is reacted with an oxidizing agent to substantially convert arsenic (III) compound to arsenic acid wherein the final mixture comprises arsenic acid, unreacted oxidizing agent, and water. In step (e), impurities are removed from the final mixture to provide substantially pure aqueous arsenic acid. 
     The recovered arsenic acid may be used for example as a raw material for the production of CCA wood preservative. The purged mixture which is sulfuric acid may be reused for example in the process of commonly assigned U.S. Patent 5,089,241.
