  • Patent number: 5502718
    Abstract: A high speed switching device among a multiplicity of processing modules, for enabling data exchanges of data organized into protocol units, includes a multiplicity of switching interface modules each including an FIFO input memory connected to an input bus and an FIFO output bus, a switching module capable of connecting each of the input buses with each of the output buses, and an arbitration and command module for commanding the switching effected by the switching module. The arbitration and command module commands switching once the destination switching interface module has at least one free space.

  • Patent number: 5499845
    Abstract: A pressure fluid operated ride leveler which adjusts the actual level of a vehicle body relative to a vehicle axle to a desired level, includes a pressure fluid source and a pressure fluid sink, pressure fluid chambers which support the vehicle body, and a pressure fluid conduit connecting the pressure fluid chambers to either the pressure fluid source or the pressure fluid sink. First and second controllable valve mechanisms are disposed in the pressure fluid conduit. The second valve mechanism is, e.g., a controllable throttling valve, capable of reducing the diameter of the pressure fluid conduit. Both the first and second valve mechanisms are actuated by a control unit. The control unit actuates the first valve mechanism to connect the chambers to the pressure fluid source or the pressure fluid sink based on the difference between the actual level of the vehicle body and the desired level.

  • Patent number: 5499509
    Abstract: Liquid refrigerant interacts with the stream of gas flowing through in a centrifugal water chiller, downstream of the occurrence of the compression process in the compressor portion of the chiller but prior to the condensing of the gas in the chiller condenser, to reduce the acoustic energy of the gas. The noise emanating from the chiller which would otherwise result from the interaction of the discharge gas with the piping connecting the compressor portion of the chiller to the system condenser and/or with the components of the system condenser itself is thereby reduced without significantly affecting chiller performance or efficiency.

  • Patent number: 5500610
    Abstract: An output buffer circuit for supplying a current to an output pad of an integrated circuit comprises an output driver circuit and a feedback circuit. The output driver circuit includes a first current supply element for supplying a small current to the output pad in response to an input logic signal. The feedback circuit includes a second current supply element for supplying a large current to the output pad and a circuit for generating a feedback voltage to control the second current supply element. The feedback voltage is responsive to the input logic signal and inversely follows the output pad voltage when the output pad voltage crosses a threshold. The output buffer provides excellent short circuit protection.

  • Patent number: 5497584
    Abstract: A plaster-protective cover for bathroom fittings is mounted recessed in the wall, the cover being fixed to the buried part of the fitting and having an outwards-facing dome-shaped cap designed to protect the fitting parts inside it. The hole in the wall for the fitting is sealed by a collar-like sealing element which produces a watertight seal and which has, at the wall end, an annular flange which rests against the wall. The flange is embedded in a layer of sealing material applied following installation of the buried part of the fitting as the bed layer for subsequently laid tiling, and the flange thus seals off the edge of the hole pierced in the wall for the buried part of the fitting.
