Title: Height and inclination adjustable headrest for motor vehicle seats
IPC: B60N2/48
Filed: 1988-03-10
Granted: 1991-05-29
Abstract: In a headrest for a motor vehicle seat, the support bars (6) of which are firmly connected to the backrest and on which the devices making the headrest height-adjustable and inclination-adjustable are located in the headrest itself, the hollow chambers (18) receiving the support bars (6) from below are designed as parallel-walled hollow guides (26), in which a bearing element (22), which is fixed to the end (24) of the support bar (6), is height-adjustable. The bearing element (22) engages positively and with a certain degree of friction on the inside walls of the hollow guide (26). To adjust the inclination, the headrest is rotatable about a horizontal swivel axis (36) around the bearing elements (22). For this purpose the bottom aperture (32) of the hollow chamber (18) must have the necessary play for passage of the support bar (6). In the embodiment described the swivelling range of the headrest is greater the higher it is set. The horizontal swivel axis (36) remains stationary in the event of a height adjustment in respect of the support bars (6) and the bearing elements (22), that is it changes its position inside the headrest. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1993-03-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and analyzing errors in a communications system is described. The method employs expert system techniques to isolate failures to specific field replaceable units and attempts to restore the failing unit to service, if the system will not be adversely affected, by removing it from service, resetting the resource and returning it to service if it passes retesting. The expert system techniques include detailed decision trees designed for each resource in the system. The decision trees also filter extraneous sources of errors from affecting the error analysis results.

Title: Making electrical contact between metals and resistive elements
IPC: H01C7/02
Filed: 1985-09-12
Granted: 1993-01-13
Abstract: In an electrical device comprising first and second members having different resistivities, a thin contact layer of intermediate resistivity is provided between the first and second members. The contact layer, (which may comprise a conductive polymer) is intimately bonded to the member of highest resistivity (which may comprise a second conductive polymer) e.g., by a printing process. The member of lowest resistivity may comprise a third conductive polymer, in which case it may be intimately bonded to the intermediate contact layer, e.g., by a printing process, or it may comprise a metallic member, in which case good electrical contact may be made merely by pressing the metallic member against the contact layer even when the contact area is large and/or long, and even when the pressure is sufficiently low to permit, if necessary, relative movement of the metallic member and the contact layer without disrupting the bond between the contact layer and the resistive element. A preferred device comprises four or more members of different resistivities. The members are arranged adjacent each other in order of decreasing resistivity. The least resistive member preferably comprises a metal and the other members conductive polymer materials.

Title: Medical infusion apparatus
IPC: A61M5/14
Filed: 1988-04-29
Granted: 1992-12-02
Abstract: Medical infusion apparatus (2) comprises a housing (4) in which a standard flexible liquid reservoir (10) is disposed. A constant-force spring applies pressure to the reservoir to force liquid out of the reservoir (10) and along a conduit to a patient. The spring (40) is energised by the opening of a lid (8) of the housing (4) which permits replacement of the reservoir (10). The liquid flowing out of the reservoir (10) passes through a moulded conduit part (12) which is configured so that it is positioned at a predetermined location with respect to a flow monitor. The flow monitor injects a pulse of heat (53), and detects the rate at which the heat pulse travels along the conduit. A microprocessor (66) uses the sensed flow rate to control a stepper motor (84) which regulates fluid flow by squeezing the conduit (56) via a spring-biased member (96). The apparatus has active and standby modes in which the monitor (74) is operated respectively more and less frequently.

Date Jun. 16, 1988.A method and device for controlling a bridge circuit for providing current or power to a load. The bridge comprises two transistors including flywheel diodes and connected in series between positive and negative power supply rails for conducting current to or from the load under control of a control drive circuit. An LC-circuit is connected between the bridge circuit and the load. The bridge voltage (E) of the connection between the two transistors and the current (I) through the inductance of the LC-circuit are monitored and a firing pulse is supplied to one of the transistors. When the current (I) through the inductance exceeds a preset value (I'), the transistors is turned OFF, whereupon the current of the inductance continues to flow another way through the flywheel diode of the opposite semiconductor member and consequently the bridge voltage (E) changes polarity a first time to the opposite rail polarity until the magnetic energy of the inductance has been terminated resulting in a second change of polarity of the bridge voltage (E) towards the first rail polarity. The change of the polarity of the bridge voltage (E) towards the first rail polarity is detected and another firing pulse is supplied at or shortly after said change.

Title: Method and apparatus for lowering the stickyness of cotton
IPC: D01B1/40
Filed: 1989-05-26

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of reducing the stickiness or tackiness of cotton flocks. For this purpose, cotton flocks delivered by any suitable conveyor mechanism are received in a flock chute and brought, by rolls or rollers, as a fiber batt between a number of heated rolls or rollers, in order to be heated such that the stickiness or tackiness of the honeydew on the cotton is thus reduced to an extend which no longer has an adverse effect on subsequent machinery. Downstream of the heated rolls or rollers the fiber batt is again opened into cotton flocks by an opening roll or roller and fed to a pneumatic conveyor line through which the cotton flocks are fed to the subsequent machine.
