  • Patent number: 5117791
    Abstract: A safety method is provided for use with control systems for vehicles such as trucks, and in particular for electromechanical controls (10) that assist the driver in shifting the gears (12), operating the clutch (16), and in actuating the throttle (22, 24, 26) by remote control. The method, which is for use in a vehicle's throttle-actuator subsystem (26A), utilizes a transmission control processor (42A) and a throttle control processor (42B). The method ascertains whether, when the driver of the vehicle removes his foot from the accelerator pedal (24A), control of the fuel pump (26C) returns to the idle governor as it should. The flow of fuel is stopped if it does not return properly. Also, a method is provided that monitors the throttle actuator (26A) to insure that it accurately follows throttle commands such as the position of the accelerator pedal (24A).

  • Patent number: 4631364
    Abstract: There is disclosed a communication system and operating method wherein the manner in which all telephone calls are displayed at a station set allows uniform user operations to originate and terminate those calls. This is accomplished by having all calls dynamically assigned to the same set of general call appearances (buttons on a multibutton station set). There are no call appearances that are dedicated to specific call types. This allows the station set user to perform the same set of operations on all calls by using the same sequence of physical operations independent of the type of call. Additionally, the system may reserve one call appearance button at a station set for special use.
