Abstract: A cold-formed rocker arm 10 of the cam-follower type is specifically designed for variable-lift engines.      The rocker arm 10 comprises a one-piece metal body 32 preferably of generally inverted U-shaped cross section throughout most of its length. The body 32 has a top wall 34 and two side walls 36, 38 extending downwardly therefrom and carrying an axle 58 an which a cam-contacting roller 24 is rotatably mounted and exposed through a central opening 52 in the top wall 34 above the roller 24 to be engaged by a tapered cam 26 of a cam shaft.      The rocker arm 10 has a substantially semi-spherical recess 40 at one end 12 to receive an end of a lifter post 14 on which the rocker arm 10 can pivot. The other end 18 of the body 32 has an open-ended channel 44 extending longitudinally of the body 32 to receive a rounded upper end 20 of a valve stem 22. A lubrication port 50 in the top wall 34 of the rocker arm 10 communicates with an inner end 48 and with a clearance 49 in a central portion of the channel 44. The clearance 49 provides a lubrication path for the flow of oil along the channel 44.      Sliding contact is obtained between the valve stem 22 and the channel 44 during operation yet the rocker arm 10 resists transverse forces caused by the tapered cam 26 of the variable-lift cam shaft.

Title: Interface for a data telephone and data terminal in a digital telephone system
Inventor: FEINBERG LEE A
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1991-07-18
Granted: 1995-02-21
Abstract: A data terminal interface for a terminal adapter and an attached computer provides complete flexibility and control of information in a communication environment for a user. Communications between the terminal adapter and a digital network may be provided in existing digital systems, such as either the Digital Communications Protocol or Integrated Services Digital Network system, for example. The data terminal interface facilitates the exchange of information between the terminal adapter and the computer via an asynchronous data module in the terminal adapter. Through the data terminal interface, the computer is able to directly control user interface ciruitry in the terminal adapter by responding to and sending unlimited information to this interface circuitry since conformance to a digital protocol is not required for message traffic between these two units. Also the data terminal interface permits all functions that a user is able to perform at the terminal adapter, such as going off-hook, pressing a button, etc., to be performed by the computer and provided to the network. Specific applications such as call screening, custom alerting and automatic call distribution are easily achieved through use of the data terminal interface.

Patent CA-2065736-C (CA)
Title: Spatial augmentation of vertices and continuous level of detail transition for smoothly varying terrain polygon density
Inventor: ECONOMY RICHARD
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1992-04-09
Granted: 2003-04-08
Abstract: In a computer image generation system, the number of vertices which define each of a plurality of terrain-defining polygons is augmented in real time for providing finer detail and for effecting substantially continuous smooth level of detail (LOD) transition. Augmented vertices may have components that are statistically derived, in which case it is not necessary to store and/or predefine them. Alternatively, some vertex components may have predetermined values derived from mapping data or from other deterministic sources and may be stored in compact form. Processing polygons, typically triangles defined by selected ones of the sum of the augmented vertices and the original vertices, may be used for displaying the finer detail. Statistically derived finer detail is especially suited for providing non-specific detail to features such as terrain, while deterministic data allows highly accurate representations of specific 'real world' locations. The decision to augment vertices is controlled by a predetermined breakup criteria, which may be selected as one, or a combination, of: range from the viewpoint; angle from the viewpoint boresight; desired maximum error; and other defined criteria.
