Patent EP-1066808-A3 (EP)
Inventor: EASTWOOD OWEN
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to body supports and teaching aids particular for use during skiing.
Skiing to greater or to lesser degrees imposes strains on the muscles of the skier causing
fatigue and encouraging a skier to adopt an incorrect stance or posture not conducive to good
and correct skiing. The object of the invention is to provide a simple and effective body support
and teaching aid that is effective during skiing and does not need to be removed during a
temporary cessation of activity but allows substantial freedom of movement of the legs during
walking and sitting. This objective is met by a construction comprising a first (upper) member (1)
adapted for location against the thigh area of the leg, a second (lower) member (3) adapted for
location against the calf area of the leg, a pivotal connection (2) between the first and second
members (1,3), the second member being connectable to the boot (6) of a user, load bearing means (16,17,19,20,21,22)
located on the support to provide a resistance to pivotal movement between the first and
second members, and said load bearing means being deactivatable to permit substantially free
pivotal movement between the first and second members.

Abstract: The present invention provides a digital PLL device
operating stably toward input of a signal having a broad
frequency band, variations in environments and variations
with time, and having the precision of the PLL which does
not deteriorate even at a low operational frequency. The
average of the maximum value and the minimum value of a
digital signal in a predetermined period is used as a
threshold. Rise times and fall times as times when the
threshold and an approximated line of two values of the
digital signal crosses are detected. The time intervals
between the adjacent rise and fall times are obtained during
a predetermined period. The minimum value of the time
intervals is used as the input rate. The synchronous clock
is output on the basis of the input rate and the rise and
fall times. The synchronous clock as the clock input and
the comparison signal which is obtained by comparing the
threshold and the digital signal as the D input are supplied
to the latch circuit, and then the synchronous signal is
output.

Abstract: In a vacuum cleaner, the air is not expelled into the
environment but is recirculated into the suction region (1,4);
this prevents the dispersal of any traces of dust into the
environment. The vacuum cleaner has advantages with regard
to power, energy, and noise and enables the air to be
treated with physical/chemical aids. A "robot" structure
benefits particularly from this innovation.

Abstract: A fuel vapour purging method controls fuel vapour
purging during stratified operation. Several factors
influence vapour purge control, including fuel vapour
concentration in the cylinder and temperature of the
emission control device. The fuel vapour passes through the
cylinder unburned by maintaining the concentration within
allowable limits. The unburned fuel vapour reacts
exothermically in the emission control device (70,72)
thereby generating heat. To guarantee that the fuel vapour
reacts in the first emission control device (70), the fuel
vapour purge is restricted to a certain temperature range.
To guarantee that the fuel vapour does not burn in the
cylinder, the concentration is kept to a restricted value.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for
continued vehicle control in an adaptive speed control
system at a vehicle speed below a minimum operating speed
threshold when a sensed target disappears, based on a
phantom target generated to compensate for the loss of the
sensed target. The method provides for continued vehicle
braking at a vehicle speed below a minimum operating speed
threshold when a sensed target disappears. The method
includes determining whether the vehicle speed is less
than the minimum operating speed threshold, determining
whether a sensed target has disappeared if the vehicle
speed is less than the minimum operating speed threshold,
and generating a phantom target having a range and range
rate corresponding to a last known range and range rate,
respectively, of the sensed target if the sensed target
has disappeared. The method further includes controlling
the vehicle speed based on the range and range rate of the
phantom target.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (170) that employs delta-sigma technology,
and has particular use in a receiver for a wireless telecommunications system.
The converter (170) includes a delta-sigma modulator (172), having a summing
junction (180) that receives the analog input signal to be converted. A feedback
from the output of a comparator (186) is subtracted from the analog input signal
to generate a difference signal that is then filtered, amplified and applied to the
comparator (186) for digital conversion. A sample and hold circuit (184) receives
the difference signal and holds the signal for a predetermined period of time so
that the input to the comparator (186) is stable. A differential limiting amplifier
(188) is employed to make the high data rate output of the comparator (186)
stable. The differential limiting amplifier (188) can be within the comparator (186)
itself, or in the feedback path. In one embodiment, the differential amplifier (188)
employs a Schottky diode clamp (226).

Abstract: An electronic throttle control system
including a throttle valve for adjusting the amount of
air drawn into the engine is disclosed. The throttle
valve is controlled by a throttle position feedback
controller which is adapted to suspend an integration
element when position error absolute value is greater
than a threshold, or when the position rate absolute
value is greater than another threshold. The
integration element includes an integration increment
such that generation of the integration increment
begins by a determination made of the position error
between the throttle position and the position command.
Once a determination of the sign of position error is
made, a gain is applied to the position error. Also, a
gain is applied to the sign of position error. The
integration element of the throttle position feedback
controller then operates with the position error and
the sign of position error. The throttle valve then
reacts in response to the throttle position feedback
controller.
