Abstract: The device comprises a box-like supporting structure (2) which slidably accommodates at least one slider (5) arranged laterally facing the needle cylinder (6) of the machine and is movable, by virtue of the action of a linear motor (11), along a direction which is radial to the needle cylinder (6). The slider (5) is rigidly associated, with its end which protrudes out of the box-like structure (2), with a knitting cam (7) which is selectively engageable with needle actuation elements (8) by moving the slider (5). The slider (5) is constituted by a shaft (10) which is slidably supported, along its axis, by the box-like structure (2) by means of a first bearing (17) which is arranged inside the box-like structure (2) and has balls (18) partially accommodated in longitudinal seats (19) defined on the outer surface of the shaft (5) and in seats (20) correspondingly defined on the inner surface of a bush (21) which extends around the shaft (5) and is prevented from rotating about its axis.

Title: Liquid dispensing system
Inventor: DEVINE GEORGE T
IPC: G05D7/06
Filed: 1989-09-07
Abstract: A liquid dispensing system for dispensing fuel such as gasoline, for example, includes a nozzle to which is mounted an actuator controlled transducer. The extent of movement of the actuator from a rest position causes the transducer to produce a flow rate signal having a magnitude proportional to the degree of movement of the actuator. The flow rate signals are electrically connected to a remotely located controller which responds to the signals by providing drive signals for operating a proportional flow control valve opening for attaining the called for flow rate of fluid to be dispensed from the remotely located valve, through a hose, to the nozzle for dispensement therefrom.

Abstract: The tibial component (1) of a knee joint prosthesis is designed basically in the shape of a horse shoe, a recess (6) separating two projections (4, 5) in the dorsal area; the lateral projection (5) extends further in the dorsal direction than does the medial projection (4). The recess (6) has its central axis (8) offset medially with respect to the axis (9) of the tibial component (1), in order to simulate the anatomical conditions, and it permits an unobstructed run for the cruciate ligaments (7). The lateral projection (5) extending further back ensures a bearing and support for the lateral femoral condyle, even with the joint at an angle of 90 DEG  and with extreme external rotation of the lower leg. In order to provide the patellar tendon (13) with a run which is adapted as closely as possible to the natural conditions, the front edge (12) of the tibial component (1) is flattened on the lateral side. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A voice detection apparatus comprises a signal power calculation part (11) for calculating a signal power of an input voice signal for each frame of the input voice signal, a zero crossing counting part (12) for counting a number of polarity inversions of the input voice signal for each frame of the input voice signal, an adaptive prediction filter part (14) for obtaining a prediction error signal of the input voice signal based on the input voice signal, an error signal power calculation part (15) for calculating a signal power of the prediction error signal which is received from the adaptive prediction filter part, a power comparing part (16) for comparing the signal powers of the input voice signal and the prediction error signal and for obtaining a power ratio between the two signal powers, and a discriminating part (13) for discriminating voiced and silent intervals of the input voice signal based on the signal power calculated in the signal power calculation part, the number of polarity inversions counted in the zero crossing counting part and the power ratio obtained in the power comparing part. The discriminating part discriminates the voiced and silent intervals of the input voice signal based on the number of polarity inversions. On the other hand, the discriminating part compares an absolute value of a difference of power ratios between frames with a first threshold value and discriminates whether a present frame is a voiced interval or a silent interval depending on whether a previous frame is a voiced interval or a silent interval when the signal power of the input voice signal is less than a second threshold value.

Abstract: A color image forming method provides clear color images with good color balance by thermally controlling a thermosensitive medium, such as polymer liquid crystal. The medium is capable of reversibly assuming optical states of being transparent and of scattering light, and allows picture-element display areas in at least two colors to be composed on a surface thereof. Picture elements within color areas are selected if they correspond to the color whose spectral transmission center is, among those of the colors to be displayed, closest to the longest wavelength involved. Heat is applied such that the maximum haze degree of the selected picture elements is greater than that of picture elements corresponding to any of the other colors.

Abstract: In a recording apparatus with an ink jet print head (1) which forms dots on a recording sheet (3) by ink jets, shot from an array of nozzles, a microcomputer (26) determines whether a printing defect is a light printing defect caused by paper particles and dust adhering to the nozzles or a heavy printing defect caused by the entry of air bubbles into the ink flow paths. The determination is made on the basis of intervals of operating a print recovery button (27) mounted on a chassis of the recording apparatus. For the light printing defect, the computer puts a cap member (10) to the front face (1a) of the nozzles of the print head (1) and applies a negative pressure to the nozzles, thereby to reduce the amount of ink emitted from the nozzles. For the heavy printing defect, the computer (33) increases the amount of ink.

Abstract: An input (E) of an analog 90 DEG  phase shifter is connected to a first detector input (A) of a phase detector (1). The output of the phase detector (1) is fed back via a low-pass filter (3) and a phase rotating member (2) to a second detector input (B). These circuit sections form a control loop, the stable point of which is reached when the phase shift of the two signals is 90 DEG  at the detector inputs (A, B). Any dependence of the signal amplitude at the output of the phase shifter which may occur is compensated by a controllable amplifier (4). The input signal is transferred in the correct phase to the output (I), the 90 DEG  output signal is present at a quadrature output (Q). <IMAGE>
