Abstract: A filter assembly for an internal combustion engine includes inner and outer coaxial filter elements (30, 31) disposed in a spin-on canister (20) which is detachably secured to a mounting adaptor (11). Oil from the crankcase is filtered by the outer filter element (30) and a substantial volume of the filtered oil flows to the primary lubricating circuit of the engine. A small percentage of the filtered oil is subjected to further filtration by the inner filter element (31) and is returned directly to the crankcase. A single gasket (70) including a sealing ring (69) and a concentrically disposed tubular fitting (72) attached to the sealing ring (69) by support legs (74) is positioned to prevent commingling of the oil from the crankcase with oil filtered by the outer filter element (30) and to prevent the oil filtered by the outer filter element (30) from commingling with oil filtered by the inner filter element (30). In addition, the inner filter element is provided with a warm-up orifice (85) to insure oil flow regardless of the condition of the inner and outer filter element.

Abstract: A single bias block for a single or multiple low voltage RF circuits including one or more amplifiers and one or more single or double balanced mixers with compensation for temperature and integrated circuit process parameters. The power supply may be a lower voltage without sacrificing the dynamic range of the amplifier and/or mixer by applying full power supply voltage to the load with the bias applied to the base circuit through an operational amplifier and/or buffer circuit. For the mixer, a lower noise figure may also be realized by moving the gain control impedance from the emitter to the collector circuit. The circuits may be discrete components or part of an integrated circuit. Methods are disclosed for reducing the power supply voltage without affecting the dynamic range of an amplifier, for temperature and process parameter compensation, and for controlling the gain of a mixer without affecting input or output impedance.

Abstract: An ECG waveform calibration method combines ECG channel calibration pulses (CHANNEL1-CHANNEL3) to form combined calibration pulses (COMBINED). The combined channel pulses are filtered to select valid combined pulses. The selected combined pulses are correlated to the corresponding channel calibration pulses to determine valid channel calibration pulses from which a correlation scale factor is derived. A valid calibration pulse is determined where a correlation between a combined calibration pulse and a corresponding channel calibration pulse is greater than a predetermined correlation value. The valid channel calibration pulses are then characterized. A set of valid channel calibration pulses is selected for each channel based on the characterization to form an average calibration pulse. The average calibration pulse is used to determine a correction scale factor for each channel which is used to scale the actual channel ECG waveform data. The method also includes steps for adjusting for the interchannel skew.

Abstract: Main current terminals (31, 32) electrically coupled to main electrodes of IGBT elements (27) which are loaded on a power substrate (30) project from a side wall of a case (21) to the exterior. The main current terminals (31, 32), which are in the form of flat plates having the same plane contours in principal parts thereof, are arranged to be parallel to each other and overlap with each other. Thus, inductances of the main current terminals (31, 32) are suppressed. An insulating member (33) is interposed between the portions of the main current terminals (31, 32) outwardly projecting from the case (21), while outwardly extending from the plane contours of the main current terminals (31, 32). Therefore, a withstand voltage across these portions of the main current terminals (31, 32) is maintained at a high value. The interior of the case (21) is filled up with an electric insulating filler (43), whereby a withstand voltage across the remaining portions of the main current terminals (31, 32) which are stored in the case (21) is also maintained at a high value. Thus, a high withstand voltage across the main current terminals and reduction of the inductances are compatibly implemented.

Abstract: An axle torque estimating system for a vehicle having an engine and an output shaft and a torque converter connected to the output shaft of the engine provides a shift signal which indicates a shift change ratio of the automatic transmission mechanism. An input torque of the automatic transmission mechanism is detected and the start timing for an actual mechanical gear shift of the automatic transmission mechanism is recognised. From the recognition of the actual mechanical shift start timing, an undergoing shift change ratio from the actual mechanical shift start timing is determined in accordance with a change of the shift signal. A torque calculation is effected when the actual mechanical shift start timing is recognised by multiplying the undergoing shift change ratio by the input torque and the axle torque out of shifting is calculated when a shift change has been completed by multiplying the shift change ratio at this time by the input torque.
