Abstract:
An enhanced stability control system for a vehicle includes a vehicle status sensor that generates a sensor signal. A driver input sensor that generates an input signal. A controller may disable normal yaw stability control operation and enable body- force-disturbance (BFD) yaw stability control (YSC) operation, which includes at least partially reducing response functions of the normal yaw stability control associated with the input signal, in response to the sensor signal and performing BFD-YSC functions to achieve desired control performance upon the detection of BFD reception. The controller may also or alternatively compare the sensor signal to a threshold and detect an improperly functioning/ inoperative vehicle status sensor. The controller disregards information associated with the improperly functioning/ inoperative vehicle status sensor, and continues to perform enhanced yaw stability control operations.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a alarm washer for alarming expensive cloths and other valuable objects, said alarm washer consists of two, towards each other cooperating parts, namely a first part (2) comprising the alarm device (3) itself and one, from the alarm device protruding needle (8), which is intended to be brought through the object in question, which shall be alarmed and a second part (9) into which the needle further is brought forwards and in which the free end (10) of the needle (8) is fixable and said second part (9), whenever applicable, includes means, which influence an alarm central, when an alarmed object, having its alarm washer, is taken away out from a sales locality via special alarm frames. The first part (2) of the alarm washer (1 ) has a function which starts an alarm when the contact is broken during the separation of the contacts attached to the needle (8) from the first part (2) already inside the shop by that the part (2) comprises an electronic circuit (4) for controlling the alarm device (3) and which uses the contacts attached to the needle function in order to give an alarm signal by an electric connection via the needle (8) and a battery (5) present in the first part (2) resulting in that as soon as the contacts attached to the needle (8) are leaving the electric contact (6) with the battery (5) an alarm signal is given from the alarm device (3) by that the battery (5) via the needle (8) is in contact with a processor in the same and gives a potential to the processor to keep back the alarm function but when the head (7) of the needle (8) is leaving the battery (5) this potential drops, which acts such as a locking potential, and the processor starts the alarm in providing an electronic "switch".
Abstract:
Apparatus for heating thermoplastics material or paper material covered with thermoplastics material, with the aid of microwave energy. The inventive apparatus comprises a power pack (1) formed as an individual aggregate including a microwave energy generating unit (2), a heating unit (3), an energy absorbing unit (4) and antennae (5-7) for transmitting microwave energy between the units (2-4), said heating unit (3) forming an elongate heating region for the materials which are to be heated and subsequently sealed, said unit substantially comprising an elongate hollow section (10) with a similarly elongate slot (11) in which the thermoplastics material which is to be sealed is arranged to move at a predetermined distance from a tongue formation (12) in the section (10) inwards of the wall thereof containing the slot. The heating unit (3) further includes at its end areas two antennae (6, 7) for transmitting microwave energy formed by the microwave energy generating unit (2) to the different units (2-4), unutilized microwave energy transferred to the heating unit (3) being transmittable via the antenna (7) at one end area of the heating unit (3) to the energy absorbing unit (4) and optionally also to the microwave energy generating unit (2), i.e. the heating unit (3) may function both as resonator and microwave transmission conductor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a variabel optical modulator for optical communication systems using a tunable dynamic grating. The variable optical modulator comprises a gel or membrane layer attached adjacent to a prism communicating light to/from said optical communication system, a substrate having a plurality of indevidually adressable electrodes and drive means for providing regulated excitation voltage to each of said plurality of electrodes providing a wave pattern on a surface of said gel or membrane superimposed on an initial state of said gel or membrane layer.

An enchanced stability control system (200) for a vehicle includes a vehicle status sensor that generates a sensor signal. A driver input sensor that generates an input signal. A controller (214) may disable normal yaw stability control operation and enable body-force- disturbance (BDF) yaw stability control (YSC) operation, which includes at least partially reducing response functions of the normal yaw stability control associated with the input signal, in response to the sensor signal and performing BFD-YSC functions to achieve desired control performance upon the detection of BFD reception. The controller (214) may also or alternatively compare the sensor signal to a threshold and detect an improperly functioning/ inoperative vehicle status sensor. The controller (214) disregards information associated with the improperly functioning/inoperative vehicle status sensor, and continues to perform enhanced yaw stability control operations.
Abstract:
Polarization dependent effects in dynamical optical components based on polymer gel surface modulation and prism designs provides a loss in optical effects for light or information carriers using such components. The present invention provides a method and devices compensating such polarization effects.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and a method for generating ozone in exposing air or oxygen (6) for high tension voltage in an ozone generating device (1) comprising at least one unit (9) have plane or cylindrically formed ceramic elements (4, 4’) with electrodes (2) and an earth plane (3) situated outside said elements. In said device (1) and according to the method the air and oxygen (6) respectively, which surrounds the elements (4, 4’), is exposed to an over pressure of about 2,5 atmosphere gauge during the generation of ozone (5) at the same time as the cooling liquid (7), which is situated in the cooling device (8), is exposed to an over pressure, which at least extends to the same value as that of said air and oxygen respectively.
