  • Sensor
    Patent number: 7114366
    Abstract: A system for acquiring environmental information measurements. The 5 system (100) utilize a sensor, (205) a front-end circuit, (310) a loop filter (315), a switch controller (206), and a reduced-order loop control circuit to provide reliable data measurements while providing robust system behavior. The system further includes a sensor simulator (330) for simulating the operation of the sensor (205) and testing the operation of the front-end circuit (310) and the loop filter (315).

  • System for generating correction signals for use in forming low distortion analog signals
    Patent number: 5182558
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating correction signals for use in forming low distortion analog signals. A digital representation of a desired analog waveform is encoded into a digital data signal which is outputted to memory. A digital correction signal is encoded, having an opposite phase and increased amplitude from the signal distortion which it is determined will occur when the digital data signal is repetitively read out of memory and decoded. This digital correction signal is outputted to memory. The digital data and correction signals are repetitively and synchronously read out of memory into a decoder. The decoder converts both digital signals into analog signals, so that the analog correction signal may superpose on the distortion in the analog data signal, resulting in a low distortion analog signal.

  • Floor treating machines
    Patent number: 4118819
    Abstract: A floor treating machine of the single rotary brush type having a handle and a motor both laterally offset from the axis of rotation of the brush in a direction to impart a tilting couple opposed to that arising from operator forces counteracting the reaction couple on the handle.

  • Brush retention means for floor treating machines
    Patent number: 4096599
    Abstract: A floor treating machine of the rotary brush type in which the or each brush is provided with an upstanding boss slidably mounted in or on a brush retaining element, and spring clip means for preventing inadvertent removal of the brush from the brush retaining element.

  • Floor treatment machines
    Patent number: 4094034
    Abstract: A floor treatment machine of the rotary brush type in which, in operation, the weight of the machine is, to at least a significant extent, supported by the rotary brush or brushes, in which a brush mounting member is flexibly suspended between resilient elements for limited universal movement.
