Abstract: A gear indicator (5,7) for use on a bicycle having an actuating member which extends from an actuator such as a shift lever (2,3) to a gear change mechanism such as a derailleur. Movement of the actuating member causes the gear change mechanism to change gears. The gear indicator includes a fixed member having a first indicator (5), and a second indicator (7) disposed on the actuating member (4,6). The actuating member uninterruptedly passes by the first indicator. The location of the first and second indicators relative to each other indicates a gear currently engaged by the gear change mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting the operational state of an ink ribbon in a printer, in particular in a printer in a travel agency. The said ink ribbon is conveyed via an electric rotary actuator motor which is connected to the drive shaft of an ink ribbon cartridge, the magnitude of the transmitting drive force being inferred from the current taken up by the rotary actuator motor. According to the invention it is proposed that predetermined threshold values of the current characteristic (12) are detected during a measuring period (11) in which the rotary actuator motor (4) is operated in a pulsed manner, that, during this process, the value of the motor current pulse is compared with the threshold value in an evaluation unit (7), and that whenever the threshold value is exceeded a change in level takes place at the output of the evaluation unit (7) so that the resulting clock sequence is counted in a microprocessor (8) and used for the measurement result and for a display which is dependent thereon. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument having a first electrode that includes an elongated, electrically conductive member and a second electrode that includes a layer of electrically conductive material adhered over at least a portion of a distal region of the elongated member and separated therefrom by an insulator. The electrodes receive electrical power in a proximal region of the instrument and apply the power to an object in the body by inducing current flow between the electrodes at the distal region. In a related aspect, the second electrode is configured so that the outer diameter of the distal region is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the distal end of the first electrode. In another aspect, one of the electrodes has a reduced circumferential extent relative to the other electrode to limit an area of current flow between the electrodes and thus restrict the size of the region in which cauterization occurs. Still another aspect of the invention features a process for fabricating the electrode assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for driving a liquid crystal panel without producing flickering or noise on a screen. An adder circuit 26 adds the noise component of the analog signal detected in a filter 24 to a reference voltage from a power supply 16, and preferably a phase adjustment circuit 28 then adjusts the phase of the reference voltage to which the noise component was added. A circuit 12 samples the analog signal and outputs it to comparators 14₁ to 14 n . The reference voltage from the circuit 28 is divided in resistors 18₁ to 18 n  and output to comparators 14₁ to 14 n  as threshold voltages TV₁ to TV n . The comparator 14 compares the input analog signal to the voltage TV, and outputs a predetermined signal to an encoder 20 if the analog signal is greater than the voltage TV. The encoder 20 converts the signal from the comparator 14 to a digital signal and applies it to the electrode of a liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for creating common functionality software units (555) suitable for controlling a telecommunications switch. The common functionality software units (555) are created by performing a domain analysis (542) on all existing telecommunication switches (502) which results in the identification of common concepts, terminology, behavior, and functionality for all possible combinations of Bearer Service Handlers (BSHs) and types of hardware (HW) for the switches. The common behavior and functionality is implemented in a Universal Common Software Template (UCST) (548), an associated Parameter Definition Document (PDD) (544), and an associated Collection of Abstract Data Type Definitions (CADTD) (546). The UCST is compiled and tested with a subset of the CADTD. After the UCST is compiled and tested, a plurality of common software function units (CSs) for the different combinations of BSH and HW may be created from the UCST and the CADTD.

Abstract: A copier has an operating mode in which copying is performed upon closing the cover of a platen and use is made of the size of an original to copy the original. An example is a mode in which the image of an original is divided up into a plurality of blocks and the images of the respective blocks are enlarged and each is copied on a separate sheet of copy paper. In such a scenario, it is determined whether the size of the original is capable of being sensed by sensors. If it is determined that sensing is not possible, processing for inferring the shape of the original is executed. In accordance with this processing, the size and orientation of the copy paper as well as the currently prevailing copying mode are checked, then the size and orientation of the original are inferred based upon the results of the check. Even if the size of the original is cannot be sensed, therefore, it is possible to infer the size and execute copying accordingly.

Abstract: A system and method of using two-way paging to establish communications with a mobile party having a Personal Telephone Number. The mobile party is equipped with a two-way pager which the party may use to provide call control. The pager is periodically queried by a network and/or paging service to determine whether or not the pager is reachable. If the pager becomes unreachable, and thereafter a call is placed to the party's Personal Telephone Number, the network routes the call to a default station. If the pager is reachable, any one of a number of alternative call routing procedures may be invoked including: registration type routing, call-by-call routing, revertive calling, call examination routing, and subsequent routing. In one possible embodiment, a Customer Routing Point is used to store the pager status along with other call routing information, and a Network Control Point is used to carry out the appropriate routing procedure. Other possible embodiments include: using an adjunct to perform the functions of the Customer Routing Point and Network Control Point; and combining an adjunct with a Customer Routing Point and Network Control Point.
