    摘要: A digital thermometer, having a sensing tip that is integral with a heater, a display, and a microcontroller which samples for rise time and proportionally operates the heater to increase the temperature of the sensing tip in an alternating control sequence that includes a post-heating delay and, thus, the sensing tip quickly arrives at a stable temperature when no further heating is required.

    摘要: An automatic thermostat which automatically reprograms itself after a power outage without the need of a backup battery or other storage device includes a temperature sensor, a set temperature potentiometer, a setback temperature potentiometer and an ambient light sensor. The thermostat also includes a microprocessor which is responsive to signals from the temperature sensor, the set and setback temperature potentiometers and the ambient light sensor. The microprocessor controls a display which displays the set temperature, the setback temperature and the actual temperature. A power outage detector detects when there is a power outage and triggers the microprocessor to reprogram itself by rereading the signals from set temperature potentiometer and the setback temperature potentiometer. A relay is controlled by the microprocessor to selectively provide power to a heating or air conditioning unit.

    摘要: Heating pads using positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistance material are subject to fire risk if one of the conductor wires between which the PTC material extends should break and produce an electric arc. Protection by fuse and a fuse-blowing circuit responsive to fire detection must allow for an immense inrush of current when the cold pad is turned on. A heat setting control using a microprocessor can reduce the fuse rating by chopping the a.c. heating current for a short start-up period following with full-on feed until the heat setting is reached. The presence of a microprocessor allows response to a safety circuit that detects a break in a heater feed or return conductor before much excess heat develops, so that the microprocessor can turn off the heater switch. That response is so quick that it can be confirmed by repeated detection after very short pauses before the heater switch (a triac) is turned off. The safety circuit producing the fault detection signal may be external to the microprocessor chip, or most of it can be built into the microprocessor chip, which then receives two inputs from a smaller circuit connected to the heating pad. A second triac can be used to shut off the heater if the heater switch malfunctions by locking in its "on" position.

    摘要: Temperature-indicting system including a mechanical temperature-indicating system including a bourdon tube for directly driving an indicating pointer, and an electrical temperature-indicating system including an electronic sensor, a transmitter and one or more electrical switches. The transmitter is modular and easily replaceable. Output of the pointer and the transmitter is synchronized relative to accuracy so that comparison of switch points of the switches that correlate temperature determined by the mechanical system and temperature determined by the electronic system enables detection of a failure or inaccuracy in one or both systems.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods for processing video data are described. The invention provides a representation of video data that can be used to assess agreement between the data and a fitting model for a particular parameterization of the data. This allows the comparison of different parameterization techniques and the selection of the optimum one for continued video processing of the particular data. The representation can be utilized in intermediate form as part of a larger process or as a feedback mechanism for processing video data. When utilized in its intermediate form, the invention can be used in processes for storage, enhancement, refinement, feature extraction, compression, coding, and transmission of video data. The invention serves to extract salient information in a robust and efficient manner while addressing the problems typically associated with video data sources

    摘要翻译: 使用正温度系数(PTC)电阻材料的加热垫如果PTC材料延伸的导线之一应断裂并产生电弧,则会发生火灾。 通过保险丝和一个响应火灾探测的保险丝熔断电路,当冷垫打开时,必须允许大量的电流涌入。 使用微处理器的加热设定控制可以通过切断交流电流来降低保险丝额定值。 加热电流短时间启动后,全开供电直到达到热定型。 微处理器的存在允许响应于安全电路,其在多余的热量形成之前检测加热器进料或回路导体的断裂,使得微处理器可以关闭加热器开关。 该响应非常快,可以在加热器开关(三端双向可控硅开关)关闭之后经过非常短的暂停后重复检测来确认。 产生故障检测信号的安全电路可以在微处理器芯片的外部,或者大部分可以内置在微处理器芯片中,微处理器芯片然后从连接到加热板的较小电路接收两个输入。 如果加热器开关通过锁定在其“开”位置而发生故障,则可以使用第二个三端双向可控硅开关来关闭加热器。

    摘要: An apparatus for exercise has a frame structure for hand holding standing up on a restrained universal mount fixed on a platform. A coil spring in compression and a stretched elastic cord laced around in tension restrains the universal mount providing adequate force for restoring the frame structure to its normal vertical position except as the user of the device deflected from that position. A two-axis sensor at the pivot center within the universal mount provides electrical inputs to a computer game programmed for video display. The position of the structure determines the direction of activity and the deflection specifies the amount of exertion input within the framework of a computer program for simulation of any of a variety of existing and new sports. The characteristics of the universal mount offer the player a challenge in terms of muscular strength, coordination and body balance.
