Abstract: Apparatus (10) for sensing an initial position of a
moveable carriage (18) mounted within a housing (22) of an
imaging device (11) may comprise a detector (62) having a
plurality of light sensitive elements (17) for detecting
objects within a field of view. At least one of the light
sensitive elements (17) is an image sensing element (21)

Abstract: An enhanced adaptive rate-based congestion control system for
packet transmission networks uses the absolute rather than
the relative network queuing delay as the measure of
congestion in the network. Other features of the congestion
control system include test transmissions only after a
predetermined minimum time, after the receipt of an
acknowledgment from the previous test, or transmission of a
minimum data burst, whichever takes longest. The congestion
control system also provides a small reduction in rate at low
rates and a large reduction in rates at high rates. A
logarithmic rate control function provides this capability.
Rate damping is provided by changing all of the values in a
rate look-up tables in response to excessive rate variations.
Finally, the fair share of the available bandwidth is used as
the starting point for rates at start-up or when a predefined
rate damping region is exited.

Abstract: The method involves producing a component with a number of adjacent component cells in a common substrate and connected in parallel. Each cell contains a bipolar transistor with a MOS channel structure on the emitter side for controlling the transistor with a source region above the emitter region. A channel region on the edge of the emitter region is located between the source region and the base region with an insulated gate electrode arranged above the channel region. The MOS channel structure (39) is structured indirectly by one of the other masking steps forming part of the manufacturing process.

Abstract: The present invention provides an engine power train
control method and control apparatus for a vehicle having an
engine and an automatic transmission capable of quickly
changing an air-fuel ratio to meet the requirements of the
exhaust gas without producing shocks and without reducing an
engine torque. The invention has following components. 
     An air-fuel ratio command value is varied stepwise for
transition between an air-fuel ratio for lean-burn operation
and a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and, at the same time, an
air amount fed to the engine is varied stepwise. In a fixed
period following the completion of the stepwise variation of
air-fuel ratio command value, a basic fuel amount fed to the
engine is varied stepwise from a value determined according to
the air amount and an engine speed to a value determined
according to a position of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle
and the engine speed. 
     The invention provides that shocks do not occur and the
operability is improved, because the engine torque remains
substantially constant through the air-fuel ratio transition.

Abstract: A negative pressure booster (B) equipped with an electromagnetic auxiliary
control means can introduce air into an operation chamber (2b, 3b) in correspondence with
normal braking and urgent braking by a single valve element which is simple in structure
and provides good response. A valve element is supported for to-and-fro movement within
a prescribed stroke in the input member (24) and spring-biased to the side of the retraction
limit. A solenoid (16) and fixed core (18) of an electromagnetic auxiliary control means is
fixed to the valve cylinder (10) coupled with booster pistons (4, 6). A movable core (21)
opposite to the fixed core is coupled with the valve element. When the solenoid (16) is
excited while the input member (24) advances, the movable core is operated so that the
advancement quantity (communication opening degree between the operation chambers
and air) of the valve element for the valve cylinder exceeds that of the valve element
operated by the input member.

Abstract: An imaging self-referencing target tracker (10) for
a laser weapon (12). The weapon generates a first beam of
radiation (14) that engages a target (16) to form a beam hit
spot (20) thereon. In a first embodiment, a target
illuminator (22) (variant 1) illuminates the target with a
second beam of radiation (23a). An optics subsystem (30)
receives and separately images the first and second beams
(23b, 24) of radiation. In a second embodiment, a blocking
filter (40) is implemented rather than an illumination laser
to pass only radiation at the target wavelength, thereby
ensuring that the first and second beams of radiation are
separately imaged. A controller (32) is programmed to steer
the first and second beams of radiation to the desired target
aim point (18) in response to information from the imaged
first and second beams of radiation. The tracker of the
present invention tracks the laser hit spot relative to the
actual target image in a closed loop manner, thereby
increasing the probability of accurate target engagement and
resulting in a target kill.

Abstract: A small and thin pushbutton switch is
described, which has a high operability in assembly and
mounting and a high resistance to dust, at a low cost. 
     The outer periphery of an annular elastic plate
(7) for covering the outer periphery of a metal contact
(6) is caulked by a caulking wall (1b) of a housing (1),
whereby the entire inner periphery of the annular elastic
plate (7) is held in elastic contact with the outer
periphery of the metal contact. This makes strict
caulking control unnecessary because the metal contact (6)
is not directly caulked. Moreover, the tight contact
between the metal contact (6) and the annular elastic
plate (7) is maintained even when the metal contact (6) is
pressed, and a high resistance to dust can be obtained.
Still furthermore, the number of components is small and
the reduction in size and thickness is not hindered.

Abstract: A high speed, high volume mailing machine (10) which
utilizes ink jet technology for the printing of postage
indicia on envelopes being fed through the mailing machine
and on discrete portions of tape fed past the printing device
of the mailing machine includes a tape storing and feeding
mechanism (62) which stores a roll (80) of tape in the form
of a web of indefinite length for feeding a discrete portion
of the tape past the feeding device (120) for each printing
operation of the mailing machine (10), and feeds the tape
forward to bring the printed portion thereof past and then
reverses the movement of the tape to bring the new leading
edge thereof to the beginning of the printing area. The tape
storing and feeding mechanism (62) provides a fixed support
for the portion of the tape being printed on so as to
maintain a critical gap between the surface of the tape and
the plane of the jet nozzles (48, 50) to achieve a high
printing quality. The tape storing and feeding mechanism (62)
also provides a feeding device (120) which maintains
effective control over the movement of the tape without
contacting any part of the printed portion thereof, and
further provides ample shock absorbing for the roll (80) of
tape so that sudden acceleration of the tape strip does not
tear the tape in the printing area.

IPC: D06N3/00
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving both adhesion
between substrate and polymer layers and the durability of such composite
structure; while maintaining the malleability and preferred characteristics
of the original substrate. Quite unexpectedly, the application of a layer
or film upon an uncured, encapsulated base substrate which has been
encapsulated by the shear thinning methods of the present invention,
results in superior adhesion of multiple layers when compared to
conventional layering, coating or composite manufacturing methods. The
methods described herein produce multiple layer composite articles that are
lighter, stronger, more flexible and utilize less material, than composite
articles produced by conventional techniques. The method comprises applying
an uncured, substantially solvent free, polymer composition exhibiting
thixotropic or pseudoplastic characteristics, onto a base substrate having
structural elements and interstices therebetween; shear thinning the
polymer composition to place it into the base substrate, thereby
encapsulating most of the structural elements while leaving a plurality of
interstices space open; overlaying a layer or film of polymer or
thermoplastic material to at least one surface of the uncured encapsulated
base substrate; pressuring the layer or film into the interstices of the
uncured encapsulated base substrate to form a chemical and mechanical
interlocking bond between the polymer composition of the base substrate and
the overlay material; optionally shaping the multi layer composite and
curing the complete composite.
