Abstract: The device has a housing with a cooling device and a rotor supported in the housing on separate roller bearings in an O arrangement with a mutual bias. Both bearings have outer rings fixed in the housing and inner rings fixed to the rotor. The bearing separating distance is dimensioned so an increase in the bias as a result of the thermal expansion of the inner rings by heating the rotor is essentially compensated by thermal rotor expansion. The device has a housing (1) whose temperature is essentially held constant by a cooling device and a rotor (17) supported in the housing on separate roller bearings (12,13) in an O arrangement with a mutual bias. Both bearings have outer rings fixed in the housing and inner rings fixed to the rotor and the bearing separating distance is dimensioned so that an increase in the bias as a result of the thermal expansion of the inner rings by heating the rotor is essentially compensated by thermal rotor expansion.

Abstract: A mechanical AND gate (39) has a pivot plate (41) with an elongated
slot (43) engaged by an output coupling (53) formed by a pair of pins (57) radially
offset from the end of an output shaft (51). A pair of input couplings (45a,45b)
secured to the pivot plate (41) at points laterally offset on opposite sides of the
elongated slot (43) couple first and second elongated actuators (77 12 -77 32 ) to the pivot
plate (41). Movement of only one of the elongated actuators (77 12 -77 32 ) to an ON
position causes the pivot plate (41) to translate relative to the output coupling (53),
but not to rotate. However, when the second actuator (77 12 -77 32 ) is moved to an ON
position in a direction parallel but opposite to the movement of the first actuator (77 12 -77 32 ),
the pivot plate (41) rotates to rotate the output coupling (53), and therefore, the
output shaft (51). This mechanical AND gate (39) has particular application to
interlocking three electric power switches (7 1 -7 2 ) such as circuit breakers so that any
two, but not all three, circuit breakers (7 1 -7 2 ) may be on at one time.

Abstract: Method and apparatus (14, 104) for continuous inkjet printing
wherein a first continuous stream of ink droplets (66) traveling above a first flow
path (48) is used as a mask for colliding with a second continuous stream of ink
droplets (70, 72) traveling along an second, intersecting flow path (56) en route to
a receiver (12) on which an image is to be printed. Selective droplets (72) of the
second droplet stream are timed and of a size to pass between and avoid the
masking droplets (66) of the first droplet stream so as to travel on and impinge the
receiver (12) for forming the image thereon. The colliding masking and masked
droplets (66, 70) are larger than the selected printing droplets (72) to facilitate
collision. The smaller printing droplets (72) facilitate sharp pixel formation.

Abstract: The start up performance of an ultrasonic system under zero load conditions is
improved by setting a phase set point in a frequency control loop such that, at start up under zero
load conditions, the phase set point intersects a point on a phase-frequency response curve which
has a low positive slope. This intersection point on the phase-frequency response curve changes
as the load is increased and the system Q is decreased. The controller "seeks" a target 0°
impedance phase angle. The frequency of the ultrasonic generator is set to an off-resonance
frequency which is lower than the resonance of any known hand piece/blade combination. In
order for the drive voltage to not exceed the physical limit of the system, the drive current is set
to a low level. The drive frequency is then smoothly increased in steps until the target 0°
impedance phase delta is located.

Abstract: A system is provided for increasing the number of users capable of communicating over a wireless network to permit multiple users to transmit information simultaneously on the same channel or frequency in which a Viterbi decoder-based signal separation system is used to pull apart or uncorrupt the otherwise interfering signals on the channel. In one embodiment, two users are assigned to the same channel, with a joint parameter estimation pre-processor being utilized to provide an estimation of the power, time and frequency offsets and phase of the incoming signals. The joint parameters estimated by the parameter estimation unit are applied to a signal separator which recovers and pulls apart the two signals. The subject system is capable of accommodating more than two simultaneously transmitted signals to provide signal packing over existing channels without requiring new waveforms through the utilization of stripping techniques and tail chopping techniques so as to minimize the computational load involved in separating the signals.
