IPC: F16H61/08
Filed: 1992-09-01
Abstract: A control method/system (200) for a control system (104) for semi-automatically executing automatically selected upshifts and downshifts of a mechanical transmission system (10) is provided. The control system includes a central processing unit (106) for receiving input signals indicative of transmission input shaft (16) and output shaft (90) speeds (IS, OS) and processing the same in accordance with predetermined logic rule to issue command output signals to a transmission actuator (112, 70, 96) to implement the selected shifts by automatic shifting into neutral upon a naturally or manually caused torque reversal of the transmission and remaining in neutral until the vehicle operator causes substantially synchronous conditions to occur. The method/system (200) includes calculating a first and second reference value (REF-UP, REF-DN) as functions of input shaft speed and only preselecting upshifts of output shaft acceleration (dOS/dt) exceeds the first reference (REF-UP) and only preselecting downshifts if output shaft acceleration (dOS/dt) is less than the second reference value (REF-DN). The first and second reference values vary with the value of input shaft speed over ranges (150-154, 152-160) thereof. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for measuring displacement by variation in frequency of an oscillator
IPC: G01B7/02
Filed: 1992-12-18
Abstract: A measuring head (1) measures displacement by variation in frequency of an oscillator due to movement of a core in a coil. The signal from the oscillator is used to gate a high frequency crystal clock (10) into a counter (12). The count is representative of the change in frequency of the oscillator and thus the displacement to be measured. The count is compared by a microprocessor (14) with a look-up table (16) stored in the memory during initial calibration. The operating and processing electronics connected to the sensor head (1) are mounted in a connector which can be directly coupled to connectors of other sensors to form a bus connecting multiple sensors to a host. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gaseous fuel pressure regulator includes a moveable diaphragm that subdivides the regulator housing into a pressurized gas chamber and a reference pressure control chamber. A coil spring in the control chamber exerts a control force on the diaphragm in opposition to the gaseous fuel pressure that is to be regulated. The diaphragm is connected to a lever that carries a poppet valve element associated with a gaseous fuel inlet port supplying unregulated pressurized gaseous fuel to the gas chamber. An arcuate baffle structure partially surrounds the inlet port, such that gaseous fuel flow is directed from the inlet port toward the gas chamber central axis, instead of flowing directly from the inlet port to a nearby outlet port. Tolerance variations on the manufactured components are overcome by the provision of a spring force adjustment structure, that can comprise a hollow tower carried on the cover of the regulator; and adjustment screw is mounted in the tower to adjust the position of a cup-shaped spring seat. Adjustment of the screw can be used to maintain a desired gaseous fuel output pressure, in spite of tolerance stack-up that might otherwise adversely affect performance of the regulator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a quadrature demodulation circuit, when the number of the
errors detected by an error detecting/correcting circuit is larger than a
predetermined value, a selector supplies a digital in-phase signal and a
digital quadrature signal outputted from A/D converters located before a
waveform equalizer, to a carrier phase error detecting circuit which
generates a digital phase error signal fed back through a D/A converter to
a local carrier oscillator. When the number of the errors detected by the
error detecting/correcting circuit is not larger than the predetermined
value, the selector supplies a digital in-phase demodulated signal and a
digital quadrature demodulated signal outputted from the waveform
equalizer, to the carrier phase error detecting circuit. 
     Thus, when a large frequency variation is detected, the carrier
reproduction is conducted by using the carrier reproduction loop having a
signal distortion but a small delay, and then, if the reproduced carrier
becomes stable at some degree, the carrier reproduction is conducted by
using the carrier reproduction loop having a less signal distortion but a
large delay.

Abstract: The invention relates to reducing the power consumption of a display unit. In a
system according to the invention, the power source (2) is switched off in the
OFF mode, and only the processor control circuit (4) is in operation, in order to
detect the occurrence of control signals (8). If the control circuit (4) detects a
control signal, it switches an operating voltage to the microprocessor (6) from the
energy supply (12) of the secondary circuit. Then the microprocessor starts the
power source (2) and examines the state of the control signals (8). If the state of
the control signals requires starting the system, the processor (6) starts switching
the whole system into operation. The control circuit (4) can be very simple, and
thus its power consumption is also very low. The power input of the control
circuit can be implemented by means of passive components (22), such as large
resistors, directly from the primary side.
