  • Patent number: 4498170
    Abstract: A time divided digital signal transmission system includes a transmitter for converting plural analog signals to digit signals, generating multiplexed time divided signals from the digital signals, and transmitting the multiplexed time divided signals by a digital data transmission circuit. The system further includes a receiver for receiving the multiplexed time divided signals, demultiplexing the multiplexed time divided signals so as to thereby obtain the original digital signals and converting the original digital signals back into the original analog signals. The system is arranged to effectively utilize both synchronizing signals and clock signals for the analog to digital conversion and the digital to analog conversion in the system.

  • Patent number: 4222031
    Abstract: A warning device for a vehicle is capable of checking a disorder in the vehicle in a sequential order through a dialog between the device and an operator. The device first indicates conduction of a test before a starter is turned on and the operator depresses a test switch in compliance with this indication to test whether all indication units and buzzer can operate normally. After finishing this test, any disorder which may exist at various starting check points such as a hydraulic fluid level and a radiator water level is detected by an associated indication unit. After the starting check up has been completed and the starter is turned on, driving check points such as a torque converter oil temperature and a brake air pressure are constantly watched and if there occurs any disorder in such check points, the operator is informed of such disorder by operation of all of the indication units and the buzzer.

  • Patent number: 4149036
    Abstract: A crosstalk compensating circuit for use in stereo reproduction having a phase shifter or attenuator provided in each of plural signal transmission paths to adjust the amplitude and phase of an input channel signal and to add the adjusted channel signal to another channel signal, so that a crosstalk having any amplitude and phase between channels is compensated for.

  • Patent number: 4034335
    Abstract: Abnormal conditions of the engine and auxiliary machines mounted on a construction equipment are detected by sensors and individually displayed by a plurality of abnormal condition display circuits connected to respective sensors, for the purpose of alarming and displaying any one of the abnormal conditions there are provided a logical sum circuit connected to receive abnormal signals from all abnormal condition display circuits and an alarming circuit energized by the output from the logical sum circuit for giving audible and visible alarms. Further, there are provided a delay circuit connected to receive the output of a sensor provided for the engine system and a deceleration mechanism operated by the output from the delay circuit for decreasing the speed of the engine or stopping it when an abnormal condition occurs in the engine system.

  • Patent number: 3935645
    Abstract: An arrangement for indicating a relative azimuth between two objects remote from each other, such as a control station and a mobile unit remotely controlled by the station, on which are respectively mounted first and second synchronous transmitters for generating and transmitting their respective signals corresponding respectively to true azimuths of the station and the unit. The control station is further provided with a relative azimuth indicating device including outer stational and inner rotatable dials, a rotatable indicator, first and second synchronous receivers, each having means for effecting rotation by receiving one of the signals corresponding thereto, and means for transmitting the respective rotations of the receivers to the inner dial and the indicator, respectively.
