Abstract: A pseudo-volumetric display apparatus includes a first inwardly facing image display surface having a continuous geometry, with an open upper end, for presenting an interior panoramic image, and a second upwardly facing image display surface, located at a lower end of the first image display surface, for presenting a second image. The images may be generated optically or electronically. The second image is correlated and synchronized to the first image, and the first image display surface is sized and positioned to facilitate simultaneous viewing of both images from outside of the first surface via the open upper end. The same or coupled information may be simultaneously presented as a continuous Cartesian representation on the first image display surface and as a polar representation on the second image display surface, and content of one representation may be synchronized in accordance with a selected position in the other representation.

Abstract: Performing transactions on a bus by first generating a sequence of commands by an initiator module and queuing the sequence of commands in a queue module. A first one of the sequence of commands is sent from the queue module via the bus to a target module. The queue module is paused while waiting for a response via the bus from the target module; however, the initiator may continue processing another task. The queue module repeatedly sends a next command via the bus to the target module and waits for a response via the bus from the target module until a last one of the sequence of commands is sent to the target module. The queue module provides only a single acknowledgement to the initiator module after the sequence of commands has been transferred to the target module.

Abstract: An assembly for multi-stage damping comprising a damping unit 20 including a decoupler 36 defining an annular zone 70 surrounding a circular zone 68. The annular zone 70 extends inwardly from an outer ring 38 to define a ring shape for flexing with the circular zone 68 in a first mode 72 to maximize the potential volume of displacement between a first chamber 30 and a second chamber 32. Additionally, the assembly provides for flexing the annular zone 70 independently of the circular zone 68 in a second mode 74 to decrease the potential volume of displacement of the decoupler 36 between the first chamber 30 and the second chamber 32. The decoupler 36 includes a plurality of rings 38, 46, 54 extending axially from a first surface 40 and a second surface 42 for defining an axial travel limit for the annular zone 70.

Abstract: A mount apparatus (20) for supporting a vibration source on a base is provided. The mount apparatus (20) includes a moving member (134) that is partially disposed in a pumping chamber (64) for moving within the pumping chamber (64) along a first axis (A) to create a volume change in the pumping chamber (64) to maintain the volume of the pumping chamber (64) to prevent a pressure increase in the pumping chamber (64) during the deformation of a flexible body (46) in response to an external excitation to effectively cancel the external excitation. The moving member (134) includes a moveable wall (144) of a flexible material, having a generally hour glass-shape in steady state, and extending between moving member upper and lower ends (140, 142). The moveable wall (144) flexes radially outwardly and inwardly relative to the first axis (A) in response to relative axial movement between the moving member upper and lower ends (140, 142), to amplify the volume change in the pumping chamber (64).

A fluid passage (106) extends between the pumping chamber (64) and the receiving chamber (66) for passing the fluid therebetween during low frequency vibrations. A piezostack actuator (118) partially extends into the pumping chamber (64) for moving within the pumping chamber (64) for varying the volume of the pumping chamber (64) to prevent a pressure increase in the pressure chamber to substantially cancel relatively high frequency vibrations.

Abstract: A tie bar assembly includes front and rear units each including inner inserts interconnected with outer inserts with webs of elastomeric material. A pole sub-assembly is disposed between the units. The pole sub-assembly and the units define front and rear fluid chambers containing a magneto-rheological fluid. Fluid orifices are disposed through the pole sub-assembly for flow of the magneto-rheological fluid between fluid chambers. An electromagnet coil generates an electromagnetic field to affect viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid. A connecting rod connects inner inserts and is slidably disposed through the pole sub-assembly for causing movement of the magneto-rheological fluid between fluid chambers. A displacement sensor detects movement to generate a signal to the electromagnet coil. Front and rear travel cushions are each disposed on the inner inserts for limiting the movement of the inner inserts toward the pole sub-assembly.
