  • Patent number: 4839886
    Abstract: An electronic device for a local area network of electronic apparatuses is characterized by a timer operatively associated with each apparatus, each timer being retriggerably responsive to the occurrence of a periodic feature of a code to assert a line driver for the period of the timer. The period of the timer is greater than the period of the feature. A priority allocation arrangement is connected such that the assertion of a given timer disables the other timers.

  • Patent number: 4838169
    Abstract: An improved runner for use with a sailrail hydrostatic bearing levitation system is disclosed. The runner uses a substantially solid core having a degree of flexibility in a vertical plane, a thin pad of flexible, compliant material covering at least the transversely convex lower surface of the core, and an outer flexible, compliant cover enclosing the pad and the core. In another embodiment there is pad material on the upper surface of the core as well. The runner can be secured to a pallet and provides specific advantages over prior art runners which had a larger profile, were more expensive and were not as efficient as the low profile runner of this invention.

  • Patent number: 4837695
    Abstract: A method for predicting and monitoring the takeoff performance of an aircraft uses information from one or more previous takeoffs of the aircraft to generate a prediction of the takeoff performance for the current takeoff. In the preferred embodiment, a takeoff profile for the current takeoff is generated and includes information about predetermined characteristics of the aircraft and information about ambient conditions at an airport from which the takeoff is being monitored. Expected performance data for the current takeoff is then generated from the takeoff profile and used to select a set of actual performance data previously stored from the one or more previous takeoffs. A selected "best fit" actual performance data set is then displayed in an appropriate fashion. Upon takeoff, a set of monitored performance data is generated as a function of one or more of sensed takeoff parameters.

  • Patent number: 4837314
    Abstract: Cold water soluble etherified or esterified starch derivatives having a 20 rpm Brookfield viscosity of less than 15,000 cps when tested in the form of a 10 weight percent starch solids aqueous solution at 25.degree. C. and which forms a transparent film when dried from aqueous solution can be prepared by first preparing a non-crosslinked granular etherified or esterified starch derivative, washing said starch derivative to remove salt by-products therefrom and thereafter solubilizing said starch derivative and thinning same to the desired viscosity level. The resulting starch derivative products are particularly suitable for use in wall covering adhesive formulations and as protective colloids in emulsion polymerization processes.
