Abstract: A valve includes a bobbin/valve body, a solenoid and a plunger. The bobbin/valve body is formed in one piece, defines all of the valve's inlet/outlet ports and forms the entire support structure for the solenoid and the plunger. To assemble the valve, a plunger body is inserted into the bobbin/valve body through an end opening into a longitudinal bore and a spring positioned to bias the plunger body to a normally closed position. A pole piece is then inserted through the end opening into the longitudinal bore and attached to the bobbin/valve body. A solenoid coil is wound around a central cylindrical section of the bobbin/valve body, and terminal pins and a flux conductor are attached to the bobbin/valve body. The attachment of the pole piece, the terminal pins, and/or the flux conductor may be accomplished by press-fit and/or swage coupling techniques.

Abstract: An improved method and system for logging transaction records in a computer system. The method may include writing a confirmation log record to the log file for a transaction that completes normally, and not writing a confirmation log record for transactions that are aborted. The log file may be unloaded periodically by an unload program. The unload program may write transaction log records accompanied by a confirmation log record to a good output file and transaction log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record to a suspended output file. On a subsequent execution, the unload program may combine the log records in the log file and the suspended file. The unload program may write transaction log records accompanied by a confirmation log record to a good output file. The unload program may write transaction log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record and which have not exceeded a transaction time limit to a suspended output file. The unload program may write transaction log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record and which have exceeded a transaction time limit to a disposal output file. The transaction log records in the good output file may then be processed normally by log processing programs.

Abstract: An industrially hardened terahertz electromagnetic transmitter and receiver module (29) is disclosed. The electromagnetic wave module has an optic (30) which relays an optical pulse from the delivery fiber (32) to the terahertz device. The relay optic (30) allows for a greatly reduced optical spot size as compared to the output of the optical fiber. Thus, the sensitivity of the overall system is enhanced by improving the efficiency of the terahertz device. The relay optic (30) allows the small spot of light to be aligned to the electromagnetic transmitter or receiver with sub-micron precision.

A clutch is provided with engagement means, which engage with the depressions for transmitting forward rotational power to the gear rack when the clutch is located in a first position, and engage with the serrations for transmitting forward rotational power to the ring gear when the clutch is located in a second position. Forcible movement means including a guide surface move the clutch into engagement with the serrations when reverse rotational power is applied to the drive member. A peripheral distance (D1) of the guide surface in the gear rack is about equal to or less than a peripheral pitch (D2) of the serrations. In addition, the sum of the width (W) of the engagement means and the peripheral distance (D1) of the guide surface (7) is greater than the peripheral pitch (D2) of the serrations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A portable radiotelephone comprises directional input means such as a joystick device (108) which can be locked to prevent unwanted selection of menus etc. through unintentional movement of the joystick device (108) whilst stored in a pocket, handbag etc. Once locked, no further joystick inputs are accepted until the joystick device (108) has highlighted a predetermined number of blocks, in a predetermined order, within a predetermined time period. In order to unlock the joystick, the joystick device (108) must first highlight the block (410), followed by the block (411), the block (412) and finally the block (413). If a block is selected out of sequence, the sequence must be restarted. The blocks must be selected in the correct order, within a given time period in order for the joystick lock to be removed. The time period should allow the average user adequate time to accurately select the required blocks, whilst not being excessively long so as to reduce the risk of unintentional selection. Such a sequence is preferably such that it is unlikely to be carried out through unintentional movement of the joystick device (108), whilst in a pocket or handbag etc.

Abstract: A manually-operable tool (10) for cutting or severing plastic strapping (26) comprises a housing (12) comprising a base portion or foundation (34), and an upstanding web and rib member (36,38). An insertion slot (28), for permitting insertion of plastic strapping (26) to be cut or severed, is defined between a lower edge portion of the upstanding web member (38) and an upper surface portion of the base portion or foundation (34). A cutting blade (20) is adjustably mounted upon the upstanding web member (38). A manually-manipulable handle (14) is pivotally mounted upon the housing (12), under the influence of a biasing spring (18) such that the handle (14) is normally disposed at an opened inoperative position, and includes a spring-biased pusher element (22) which is pivotally mounted upon the handle (14). The pusher element (22) is biased into engagement with the base portion or foundation (34) of the housing (12) by means of its own biasing spring (30) so as to in effect close or cover the entrance to the insertion slot (28). When plastic strapping (26) is to be cut or severed, the strap (26) is inserted into the insertion slot (28) by engaging the pusher element (22) and thereby causing the pusher element (22) to be moved out of the way against the biasing force of its biasing spring (30). Upon the plastic strapping (26) passing the pusher element (22), the pusher element (22) returns to its normally biased position wherein the pusher element (22) now engages the plastic strapping (26). Manipulation of the handle (14) toward the closed position causes the pusher element (22) to push the plastic strapping (26) into engagement with the cutting edge of the cutting blade (20) whereby the plastic strapping (26) is cut or severed. <IMAGE>
