摘要： A signal edge detector circuit is described for the detecting the signal transitions in a stream of microwave signals at a predetermined clock signal rate, particularly for OC-768 data streams. Selected transmission lines in the signal edge detector circuit reflect the signal transitions to terminate each signal transition at the output terminal of the detector circuit and to cancel out each other at a circuit node to prevent reflected transitions back to the input terminal of the detector circuit and to the transmission lines. With a squaring circuit at the output terminal of the detector circuit and a narrow-band filter at the output of the squaring circuit, the clock signals at the predetermined clock signal rate are recovered.

摘要： A variable stator vane assembly and a bushing thereof. The bushing includes a metal bushing body and a wear-resistant coating. The assembly includes a rotatable trunnion and a first metal bushing. The trunnion is capable of being located in a through hole extending between outer and inner surfaces of a compressor casing of a gas turbine engine. The first metal bushing is capable of being located in the through hole proximate the outer surface to surround a first portion of the trunnion when the trunnion is located in the through hole. The first metal bushing and the first portion have wear-resistant coatings which are in mutual contact, apart from any intervening lubricant, when the trunnion and the first metal bushing are located in the through hole and the trunnion is rotating with respect to the first metal bushing.

摘要： The present invention concerns embodiments of swim goggles. In one embodiment, the goggles include a pair of eyepieces that are not interconnected by a nose piece or a head strap. Each eyepiece includes a transparent lens portion that covers an eye and a peripheral frame portion surrounding a respective lens portion. The frame portion of each eyepiece has a posterior surface that carries an adhesive layer (e.g., a layer of adhesive tape) for adhesively securing the eyepiece to the skin adjacent the eyes. In another embodiment, the eyepieces can be interconnected by a nose piece and a head strap. The lens portion of each eyepiece includes a flat, anterior lens and a flat, side lens that is connected to a temporal edge of the anterior lens and is inclined away from the anterior lens to reduce hydrodynamic drag and optical distortion.

摘要： A container is provided in the form of a cup-like container body with a round mouth closed by a lid which becomes removably replaceable upon tearing away of a circumferentially extending tear strip which initially surrounds the mouth rim of the container body as a radially outer, integral part of the lid flange. As the lid is differential pressure-thermoformed, its radially outer region is formed into a generally inverted U-shaped structure which near the juncture of the base and radially outer leg of the inverted U, is provided, within the channel, with an inverted V-shaped notch of substantially diminished wall thickness to provide a line of weakness which preferably extends nearly fully around the circumference of the lid, but for at an angularly short tear-starting site. After the thermoforming step, and preferably in connection with trimming the lid from the surrounding scrap portion of the sheet in which it was formed, a mechanical crimper axially collapses an initially radially outwardly concave annular portion of the radially outer leg of the inverted U, intermediate the vertical extend of that leg, with an upwardly, inwardly directed barb or hook which, cooperating with the rim of the cup provides the snap lock feature for securing the lid to the cup. After the initial lidding, it is this barb which prevents removal of the lid until the tear strip is torn away.
