    摘要: A constrained non-linear approximator for empirical process control is disclosed. The approximator constrains the behavior of the derivative of a subject empirical model without adversely affecting the ability of the model to represent generic non-linear relationships. There are three stages to developing the constrained non-linear approximator. The first stage is the specification of the general shape of the gain trajectory or base non-linear function which is specified graphically, algebraically or generically and is used as the basis for transfer functions used in the second stage. The second stage of the invention is the interconnection of the transfer functions to allow non-linear approximation. The final stage of the invention is the constrained optimization of the model coefficients such that the general shape of the input/output mappings (and their corresponding derivatives) are conserved.

    摘要: A hand-held dispenser (1) for dispensing a multiplicity of unit products (3) comprises a container (100) for containing the unit products which has an access opening (107) through which the unit products are able to be removed from the container and a dispensing module (300) which is adapted to be connected to the container in an operational position in which the dispensing module covers the access opening. The dispensing module has an internal volume (307), into which the unit products are transferable from the container through the access opening when the dispensing module is in the operational position, an outlet opening (311) which communicates with the internal volume, and a dispensing mechanism (350) which operates to dispense a predetermined number of unit products from the outlet opening on actuation thereof.

    摘要: Adjustable height bicycle seat mounting assemblies, bikes using such assemblies, and methods of use are provided. One such adjustable height bicycle seat mounting assembly includes first and second tubes in telescoping arrangement. The first tube is adapted to be coupled to a bicycle frame and the second tube is adapted to be coupled to a bicycle seat. A bulkhead is disposed in one of the first and second tubes. The bulkhead has an orifice therethrough, with a rod extending through the orifice and coupled to a movement device disposed near an end of the second tube. The first and second tubes are axially adjustable relative to one another by regulating a flow of a fluid disposed in the first and second tubes.

    摘要: An optical fiber structure having a holey fiber arranged in a holey outer support structure made up of holey tubes encased in a thin walled outer jacket. The holey fiber may have a solid core surrounded by a holey cladding having a plurality of rings of holes. With the invention it is possible to produce robust, coated and jacketed fibers with microstructured core features of micrometer size relatively easily using existing fiber fabrication technology. This improvement is a result of the outer holey structure which reduces the thermal mass of the supporting structure and makes it possible to reliably and controllably retain small hole features during the fiber fabrication process.

    摘要: The surge protector includes a device for connecting a transmission line to ground in the event of excess voltage or current, to protect communications equipment. A thermal sensitive element, located proximate the device, provides an independent, permanent path to ground, before the device can heat to a level where it may fail in the open circuit state. The element is a grounded conductive rod of nickel-titanium alloy which has a configuration memory. The rod normally has an arcuate configuration with a portion spaced from the transmission line contact associated with the device. It will assume a straight configuration, connecting the transmission line contact to ground, if the device overheats. Thermal failsafe protection for protective devices associated with ring and tip conductors, respectively, can be provided with a single thermal sensitive element.
