摘要： An active user interface assembly includes a user interface, and one or more feedback motors coupled to the user interface. The one or more feedback motors, when energized, supply a feedback force to the user interface that opposes user interface movement. One of the feedback motors is disposed such that its center of gravity is located at a position relative to the user interface to mass balance the user interface when it is in the null position. The configurations allow for the center of gravity of a feedback motor to be positioned in a manner that alleviates the need for counterbalance weights.

摘要： It has been found that the ground lead of a measurement instrument probe has an inductance which, when coupled with the capacitance of the rest of the probe, forms a resonant circuit. The net result is a peak in the frequency response of the probe which interferes with accurate amplitude measurements of test signals having a frequency above some threshold. Pursuant to the present invention, a resistor is added to the measurement instrument probe whose value substantially flattens the frequency response of the probe and permits accurate amplitude measurements over a substantially greater frequency range. This resistor, either having a fixed or adjustable value, can be added to the measurement instrument probe or can be included in an adjunct which fits over a probe end.

摘要： One or more particle arrestor rings are mounted in a curved radial flow portion of a gas turbine annular flow passage. The arrestor rings block line of sight paths between the turbine wheel and the annular flow passage outlet. Thus, the arrestor rings substantially inhibit relatively high energy particles from exiting the gas turbine housing, thus substantially inhibiting collateral damage to surrounding equipment and structure.

摘要： A touch-screen scheme is employed in an arrangement wherein an inquiry and a choice of responses thereto are displayed on a CRT screen. In accordance with this scheme, a first touch-screen device is held against a predetermined spot on the screen. A selection is made by holding a second touch-screen device against the area of the screen corresponding to the desired response. When the electron beam which scans the CRT screen sweeps across the first and second touch-screen devices at different times, the two device generate two signal outputs. The touch-position or the selection is determined based on the time difference between the two signal outputs.

摘要： Resistive battery feed circuits are normally not used because of lack of power supply noise rejection and attendant crosstalk coupling. In this circuit the opamp and surrounding circuitry insure that power supply and ground noise do not couple into the tip and ring circuits as a metallic signal and improve crosstalk attenuation. In addition, the opamp is used to split the 48 volt supply.

摘要： An acceleration sensor is packaged in an open can and encapsulated in an elastomeric polybutadiene compound which maintains its mechanical properties over a range of -40.degree. C. to 105.degree. C. and transmits acceleration to the sensor with a unity transfer function. The encapsulation material comprises about 90 to 100 pbw of polyol and about 20 pbw of isocyanate, the polyol consisting of at least 70% of hydroxy-polybutadiene. For enhanced adhesion a foaming agent and/or an epoxy is added to the mixture.

摘要： In an arrangement wherein an inquiry and a choice of respones thereto are displayed on a CRT screen, a selection is made by holding a touch-screen device against the area of the screen corresponding to the desired response. Such a touch-screen device is designed to have an inductive coil in its tip. When an electron beam which scans the CRT screen sweeps across the tip of the touch-screen device, an electrical signal is induced on the coil. The touch-position or the selection is determined based on a knowledge of the position of the electron beam on the screen at the time of the electrical signal induction.

摘要： The severity of the problems of transmitting high speed data over a regular twisted wire pair are legendary. These problems arise from a variety of conditions, including the capacitance of the wire (which increases with length) and the propensity of unshielded wire to pickup high induced voltages. An arrangement is disclosed that is suitable for short, as well as long, wire distances and which also effectively eliminates the interference problem caused by induced voltages, including those causes by electrostatic discharge. This arrangement passes two twisted wire pairs through a series of ferrite cores. The twisted wire pairs coming out of the ferrite cores are terminated such that one of the pairs is connected to ground while the signal carrying twisted pair is connected to a small signal balun coil, pulse shaping circuit and low pass filter.
