Abstract: A pneumatic trainline control unit receives air from a first
pneumatic trainline which it uses to charge and maintain pressure in
a second pneumatic trainline. It also provides brake control
pressure to a universal pneumatic brake unit (100) on a rail vehicle upon
receiving an emergency braking request from the second trainline.
The pneumatic trainline control unit (700) includes an air piloted
transfer valve (710), an air piloted maintaining valve (713), a charging magnet
valve (711), an emergency release magnet valve (712), a low pressure switch (715), an
air piloted vent valve (714) and a pipe network. The pipe network allows
the first trainline (9) to supply air to the transfer valve, the
charging valve and the maintaining valve. The transfer valve
features a transfer pilot port. It connects a command port of the
pneumatic trainline control unit to atmosphere unless its transfer
pilot port receives the emergency braking request in which case it
connects the pipe network to the command port. The low pressure
switch closes if the second trainline (3) charges to a preset pressure.
Upon closure of the pressure switch and a manually initiated command
from the controller, the charging valve allows the pipe network to
charge the second trainline to a minimum threshold level. The
maintaining valve features a main pilot port. It permits the pipe
network to keep the second trainline charged unless pressure at its
main pilot port falls below the minimum threshold. When pressure in
the second trainline drops faster than a predetermined rate, the
vent valve vents the second trainline to atmosphere.

Abstract: In a communication method, even when the same channel is
used to perform another communication based on the time division
multiple access, a signal can avoid continuously suffering
interference from the other communication. Idle slots (I) which
are not used for communication are inserted between frames at
random to change the period of time slots (TS0 to TS3) at random
and moreover, a transmission signal is transmitted at timing of
time slot (TS0) which is assigned to its own station, out of time
slots of which the period is changed at random, thereby even when
the same channel is used to perform another communication based on
the time division multiple access, it is possible to avoid
continuous agreement of the transmission timing with the other
communication, so that it is possible to prevent continuous
reception of communication interference from the other
communication.

Abstract: The light receiving apparatus of the present invention
has a structure in which a first and a second optical
filter having different band pass characteristics are
cascaded to each other. Each of the first and second
optical filters includes an optical waveguide provided on
the surface of a dielectric substrate made of, for example,
lithium niobate; an interdigital electrode provided on the
substrate for exciting a surface acoustic wave; absorbers
provided in front of and in back of the interdigital
electrode; a polarizer provided at the input portion of the
optical waveguide; and polarizers provided in back of the
acoustic absorbers. The distance between the interdigital
electrode and the acoustic absorber provided in back of the
interdigital electrode differs between the first and second
optical filters. The ratio of the interaction length of
the first optical filter to that of the second optical
filter is preferably between 1 : 0.56 and 1 : 0.81. Each
of the first and second optical filters further comprises a
pair of surface acoustic wave barriers opposed each other
and located above and below the optical waveguide. The
distance between the optical waveguide and the surface
acoustic wave barrier is shorter at the input portion and
the output portion of the optical waveguide than at the
generally central portion.

Abstract: A scheme is provided that permits the use of a selectable
depacketization module to depacketize data streams. An RTP session
manager is responsible for receiving RTP packets from a network and
parsing/processing them. A depacketizer module is located using the type of
data received on the stream. Thus a specific depacketizer is located at
runtime depending on the coding decoding scheme ("codec") used to
compress the incoming data stream. A naming convention is followed in
order for a specific depacketizer to be located. The depacketizer receives data
that has already been parsed and is in a readable form. The depacketizer
outputs this data using a well defined interface. This interface has been
designed such that it is generic across a number of codecs. The interface
passes all relevant information to the decoder where the actual depacketized
data stream will be decompressed. The session manager need not know of
any codec details since the depacketizer handles all codec specific issues. A
default format is described for data that is output by a depacketizer. There is
provision for a depacketizer to output data in this pre-defined format.
However, there is also a provision for a depacketizer to output data itself in a
pre-defined format. This data is provided to a handler that is aware of this
format, so that the integration of depacketizers is seamless. Thus, a
depacketizer can be made available as long as it implements certain defined
interfaces.

Abstract: A system for constructing a reference structure intended to fit flush
against an anchor site of a subject is used to anchor and guide medical
equipment, or used for accurate placement of fasteners into the anchor site.
The present invention employs a medical imaging device (11) which
acquires data of internal structures of the subject. This data is segmented
(19) into discrete solid structures. These solid structures are displayed on a
user interface (23) as a 3D computer model. The user then selects a structure
and an anchor site on the structure which a fastener is to be positioned. The
user may also interactively indicate, through the user interface, a location
and orientation in which the fastener is to be inserted. A design device (25)
creates a surgical guide having a mating face which fits flush against the
anchor site. The guide may have pre-drilled guide holes for receiving a
surgical instrument, such as a drill for drilling into the anchor site. It may
have an attachment structure for attaching medical equipment. Several
probe holes may also be made which receive a probe and intersect with the
anchor site. Markings on the probe indicate if the mating face is flush
against the anchor site.
