Patent EP-0399762-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HORST ROBERT W
IPC: G06F9/26
Filed: 1990-05-21
Abstract: A system for issuing a family of instructions during a single clock includes a decoder for decoding the family of instructions and logic, responsive to the decode result, for determining whether resource conflicts would occur if the family were issued during one clock. If no resource conflicts occur, an execution unit executes the family regardless of whether dependencies among the instructions in the family exist.

Abstract: This invention concerns a target determining apparatus that has particular application to a navigation system for an automated guided vehicle. The target determining apparatus has a laser diode light source which is scanned toward retroreflective targets. A photoreceptor in the apparatus detects reflected light returning from a target. The light source is modulated at either a constant or binary-coded frequency. Signals from the photoreceptor are demodulated in accordance with the chosen modulation scheme, resulting in a markedly improved signal-to-­noise ratio. This permits either increased amplification of the signal or a reduced threshold for determining a valid target signal. In either case, the range of the apparatus is increased, without increasing the power of the light source, because weaker signals from more distant targets can be reliably distinguished from background noise. The power of the light source may be reduced if desired to limit the range of the apparatus in instances where more than one target might otherwise be within range.

Abstract: A laser scanning system for reading a bar code includes a motor (116), a movable scanning element (120) driven by said motor (116), laser beam generating means (122) for producing a laser beam arranged to be deflected by said scanning element (120) so as to scan the bar code, and motor drive circuitry (318, 332). Three Hall sensors (336, 340, 344) are arranged to produce output signals in response to the sensing of movement of the rotor of said motor (116), these output signals being applied to a microprocessor (332) forming part of said motor drive circuitry (318, 332). The microprocessor (332) is arranged to determine the speed of movement of said rotor in response to receipt of said output signals from said sensors (336, 340, 344). For the purpose of avoiding ocular health hazards, the microprocessor (332) is arranged to shut down the operation of the laser beam generating means (122) if it determines that the speed of movement of the rotor is below a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A three-terminal operational amplifier (6) includes a current input (12), in addition to the conventional inverting and non-inverting inputs (8, 10). The current input (12) is inverted and added to the inverting input (8) current, while its voltage is urged to a level equal to that of the inverting and non-inverting inputs (8, 10). The new amplifier employs a pair of two-terminal operational amplifiers (A1, A2), the first (A1) of which has inverting and non-inverting inputs (8, 10), and the second (A2) of which has the current input (12) and a second input connected in common with an input to the first amplifier (A1). Internal feedback circuits (R1, R2) provide the desired current conveyance. The circuit may be implemented either with mutually discrete two-terminal operational amplifiers, or these elements may be merged into a single unified circuit. Applications include a general purpose adder/subtractor circuit, an inverting gain amplifier, an instrumentation amplifier, integrators and differentiators.

Abstract: A brake/shift interlock for,  e.g. , a vehicle having a shift mechanism ( 10 ) for an automatic transmis­sion. The shift mechanism includes a shift lever ( 12 ) and a detent mechanism ( 24 ) having a latch ( 26 ) and latch plate ( 28 ) with a detent notch at the "Park" position. A Park/Lock member ( 34 ) is actuable to lock the latch in the Park position ( Figs. 1  &  6 ). In addition to an ignition lock mechanism ( 38 ) for actuating the Park/Lock member based on the status of the ignition switch ( 36A ;  Fig. 8 ), a brake/shift interlock is also provided for actuating the Park/Lock member when the ignition switch is in "Run" position ( Fig. 2 ), except for being released during actuation of a brake switch ( 82 ). A solenoid ( 160; Figs. 4  &  5 ), when energized, applies a tension­ing force to the Park/Lock member via a cable ( 44 ) actuating the P/L member. The solenoid includes a plunger ( 162 ) having an centrally located, axial opening ( 171 ) through it, through which the cable extends. The plunger opening is stepped, providing a seat ( 170 ) into which a laterally extended, mushroom-shaped button ( 173 ) affixed to the cable is seated, with the cable and plunger thereby being interfaced for movement in unison. The solenoid can be completely assembled in manufacture before being interfaced in engagement with the button staked to the cable. The brake/shift interlock may be mechanically in series ( Figs. 1-3 ) or in parallel ( Figs. 6  &  7 ) with the ignition lock mechanism. In the series arrangement, the cable of the ignition lock mechanism extending axially completely through the solenoid. (Exemplary power circuitry is illustrated in  Fig. 8. )

Abstract: The procedure makes it possible to use components of an existing anti-skid brake system (ABS) in order to implement interaxle brake pressure distribution well below the lock-up limit, with automatic optimisation. For this purpose, it is proposed to control the brake pressure and hence the brake force distribution in an axle-specific manner, even well below the lock-up limit. For this purpose, an immediate dynamic intervention is, on the one hand, made given sufficiently large wheel speed differences between the axles. An adaptive predetermination of "correct" brake force distributions is, on the other hand, taken as the basis for each current control intervention. In this arrangement, the appropriate brake force distribution is predicted even before large speed differences occur, stored and, in the case of necessity, adapted, i.e. corrected, to current requirements in the course of subsequent dynamic braking demands. Requisite determination parameters for each journey are either obtained via characteristic maps specific to the family of vehicles or are determined individually on the individual vehicle by means of a learning approximation routine.

Abstract: An optical recording medium and a recording method therefor in which a recording layer group and a light-absorbing and heat-generating layer for absorbing radiated light to convert the absorbed light into heat are formed on a substrate. The recording layer group is formed of thermo-sensitive recording layers capable of recording thereon information in the form of a light signal stacked alternatingly with heat insulating layers. Laser light emitted from a luminous source in a recording apparatus is condensed through an objective lens so as to be focused on the light-absorbing and heat-generating layer, so that when heat of a predetermined quantity or more is generated by the light-absorbing and heat-generating layer, the heat reaches the recording layers successively stepwise due to the heat insulating functions of the respective heat insulating layers.

Abstract: Cutting-off grinding machine for cutting off metal sheets. Cutting-off grinding machine for cutting off metal sheets were known to date only as hand-held implements, with which it was hardly possible to carry out a cutting off of metal sheets which are right- angled and precise in length. A cutting off grinding machine has been developed, in particular for cutting off heat-treated, high strength and erosion-resistant large metal sheets, which essentially consists of a stable frame, in which a displaceable carriage with a cutting unit mounted on an oscillating crank is provided. Around the cutting unit and cutting off point is arranged a grinding space protection box, on which devices for the elimination of the dust and of the chippings are provided. The material to be cut is held in place by a pressure pad and a pressure girder. With this cutting off grinding machine it is possible to carry out a cutting operation even on heat-treated metal sheets of large dimensions, which is right-angled, chip-free and precise in length. <IMAGE>
