Abstract: Example apparatus are disclosed for a wheel-speed tone ring apparatus. An example apparatus includes an axle of a vehicle, and a tone ring coupled to the axle, the tone ring having teeth distributed about a peripheral edge of the tone ring, each tooth having a ramp-shaped surface to be sensed by a wheel speed sensor as the tone ring rotates with the axle.

Abstract: A separator (10, 60, 65, 100) is disclosed for electrically separating groups of end windings (52) in the stator of a rotating electrical machine. The separator is arranged to provide circumferential air channels (24, 74, 85) through the windings. This can allow air flow to be delivered to inside the windings, thereby cooling the windings more effectively.

Abstract: A hub assembly is described. The hub assembly includes a roll formed hub connected to the hub assembly, at least one bearing enabling rotation of the hub assembly, and an inner ring in communication with at least one bearing and the roll formed hub. The hub assembly further includes a locking device adapted to lock the inner ring to the roll formed hub by a fusion weld.

Abstract: An electro-optic device is disclosed which has a plurality of independently-gatable portions. One example is an image intensifier having a number of segmented photocathode areas (GP). The corresponding portions of the intensifier can be energized independently via contact strips (CS). Used in conjunction with an appropriate trigger signal generator, imaging device and beam splitter, the device may be used to capture a series of images at very high speed. An electrical device having a reflective tunnel for generating a plurality of input images is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bit synchronizer (16) that includes a tapped delay line (38) connected to a plurality of timing hypothesis circuits. A control and adjudication circuit (50) is connected to the timing hypothesis circuits, and compares outputs of the timing hypothesis circuits and selects one. Each of the timing hypothesis circuits includes a sum-and-dump summer (112) that is connected to outputs of the tapped delay line (38). The timing hypothesis circuits further include an absolute value circuit (46) and an averaging circuit (48). A select switch (60) is connected to the summers (112) and receives a switch control signal from the control and adjudication circuit (50). A threshold test circuit (62) compares the selected output signal to a threshold value and outputs a mark or space symbol.

Abstract: A layer based paint system permits painting of an image raster of a composite image while viewing subsequent processing on the image raster. The composite image is mapped to an image processing tree. Each of the elements in the image processing tree are defined by an associated data structure that identifies their parent and children elements in the tree. Each of the elements may be, for example, an image element or a process element. Associated with each image element is an image raster and a transform. Viewing and painting of an image element may be done at any level in the image processing tree. Painting of the element directly modifies the pixels in the image raster. The pixel coordinates of brush strokes in the viewed image are transformed into pixel coordinates of the image raster material by applying the inverse transform of the viewed layer, the image element layer and all of the intermediate layers to the pixel coordinates of the brush strokes.
