Abstract: In an automotive radio system an amplifier is capable of
detecting speaker faults. A fault signal from the amplifier is received by a
microprocessor which sends a fault message to a radio display and/or stores
fault data which can be accessed via a serial data link by a diagnostic tool.
One embodiment of the amplifier has an output pin for outputting distortion
signal, and that pin is used when distortion is not likely to also output a fault
signal which reveals the presence of a fault. Another embodiment of the
amplifier has a data storage register which receives data on the type of fault
and the affected channel, and a data bus to send the data to the
microprocessor.

Abstract: The thermostat of the invention is based on a classic controllable
thermostat in which one of the three classic spacers, specifically the
upper spacer, is provided with a slot or socket into which an ancillary
strip standing as a temperature probe is laterally plugged. Furthermore,
the insulating shaft through which the control knob acts on the moving
control has an intermediate ledge through which it acts on the probe
strip, and therefore upon driving the control knob, both the main
moving strip and the probe strip are acted on. Similarly, contact
between the probe strip and the moving strip, to close the signalling
circuit, is established through the free end of said probe strip and with
the assistance of a screw acting as an electrical contact.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for for reducing the storage size
required for temporary data by storage order optimization. Advantageously, the execution
order optimization and the storage order optimization may be treated independently. The
storage size optimisation is preferably performed by determining an optimum intra-array
and/or inter-array storage order based on a geometrical model. The geometrical model
provides a representation of the address space occupied by an array as a function ot time
and allows the calculation of the window size of the occupied address/time domain of the
array. Where calculations would be time-consuming, these may be shortened by making
simplifying assumptions, e.g. calculation of upper and lower bounds of the window size of
the occupied address/time domain of an array rather than an exact calculation. Further,
heuristical simplifications are described to reduce run-times for the optimisation process. 
     A prototype compiler and its performance are also described.

Inventor: GUMLEY JOHN RICHARD
IPC: H02G13/00
Filed: 1999-07-27
Abstract: Air terminals of two types having curved surface electrodes that act
passively or dynamically to minimize or further reduce corona during the close
approach of the down leader. In the first type, a fully grounded passive terminal,
suitably located and comprising a conductive curved surface of a given radius on
a grounded rod of given height, is located and suitably dimensioned in order to
minimize corona discharges until the median field rises to a level sufficient to
support streamer to leader conversion as described below. In the second type,
dynamic action is achieved by allowing the curved surface to float upwardly in
voltage by use of capacitive coupling to the approaching leader. The raising of
voltage being in the same polarity as the leader, acts to reduce the electric field
immediately above, with consequent reduction in corona. When a flashover
point is reached between the curved surface and the main earthed electrode
there are provided free electrons in avalanche mode, and the curved surface is
simultaneously grounded through the arc. This grounding causes an instant
increase in the electric field immediately above the terminal. Streamer formation
is enhanced by the liberation of free electrons, the photoionization created by the
arc, and the instant increase in the electric field strength ahead of the streamer.
In the dynamic phase during the near approach of a down leader, the electric
field is intensified so as to have a field strength sufficient to cause a corona burst
and ongoing development into a streamer. The air terminal is designed so that a
streamer is only launched when both the near field and the median field strength,
within a few meters above the terminal, are sufficiently strong to convert an
initiating streamer into a propagating leader. The height and curvature of the air
terminal determines the E field intensification factor. Up leader conversion is
assured and the whole process is enhanced by progagation into an electric field
devoid of distortions due to prior corona emissions in the form of space charges.
The invention also includes a method to simulate natural conditions and control
not only the position of the lightning ground attachment, but also the ideal air
terminal parameters to achieve the proper initiation of the streamer and up leader
conversion The system also recognizes that there may be other structural
points competing to be first to launch an up leader and compares all points on
approach of down leaders using a three dimensional computer analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an enzyme immunoassay
method for assaying calcium ion, including putting calcium-dependent
glutamate dehydrogenase, namely glutamate

Abstract: A system is provided for lubricating and cooling a

overspeed control 23 is provided to provide dynamic
engine braking. When the hydrostatic drive is used with

drops as the engine speed drops, and eventually reaches a

silicon, and holding the substrate at that maximum
holding temperature for a holding time of 5 seconds or
