Abstract: In a method for sharing health care information, a computing system of a care receiver receives first data, including a voice message, from a computing system of a caregiver. Based on the first data, the care receiver's computing system determines a notification time associated with the voice message. The care receiver's computing system causes a speaker to generate the voice message at the notification time.

Abstract: In a method for sharing health care information, a computing system of a care receiver receives first data, including a voice message, from a computing system of a caregiver. Based on the first data, the care receiver's computing system determines a notification time associated with the voice message. The care receiver's computing system causes a speaker to generate the voice message at the notification time, and listens for a response from the care receiver. The care receiver's computing system receives, from the care receiver via a microphone at the care receiver's computing system, a voice response message, and sends second data including the voice response message to the computing system of the caregiver.

Abstract: An arresting brake device with triggering equipment for elevators provides different braking effect in upward and downward directions of travel. The device includes a tiltable rocker, as a barrier element, provided with an articulated two-point bearing in yielding joint pans. The rocker is operatively connected with a movable brake shoe and is, on actuation by triggering equipment, tilted by entraining members up to an abutment beyond or ahead of its dead center according to the direction of travel of an elevator car in upward or downward directions. By the tilting movement, one or the other yielding joint pan is pushed against a biased adjustable compression spring and the movable brake shoe and a fixed brake shoe are accordingly urged against a guide rail. The compression springs, which are arranged in a spring block, can each be biased separately in a variable manner by a respective setting screw.

Abstract: A process is proposed for controlling an automatic transmission (3), in which at least one of the weighted values: selector lever activity, excess engine torque, curve radius and brake activity determines a first parameter (K1), the driving activity. Besides the first parameter (K1), a second parameter (K2) determines the selection of a shift characteristic field (31) among a plurality of shift characteristic fields. The second parameter (K2) is determined according to a driving state: city traffic (27), trailering (28) and mountain driving (29).

Abstract: A process is disclosed for electronically controlling an automatic transmission in which the torque transmission is reduced when the engine throttle setting and vehicle speed are below a threshold. The transmitted torque causes the vehicle to creep slightly, warning the driver that a gear is engaged. The slant and load of the vehicle are taken into account for controlling the drive torque.

Abstract: Apparatus for making stencils of the type having a rectangular frame and a woven fabric stretched upon and affixed to the frame for use in a screen printing machine has a table which supports four rows of neighboring fabric stretching devices surrounding a rectangular portion of the upper side of the table. Each stretching device has a support the underside of which abuts the upper side of the table, and a double-acting hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder and piston unit pivoted to the support and having a piston rod extendable toward and retractable away from the frame at the rectangular portion of the upper side of the table. The free end of each piston rod carries tongs having a pair of fabric-engaging jaws which stretch the fabric during retraction of the respective piston rod.

Abstract: In order to adapt the shifting characteristics of an electrohydraulically controlled, automatically shifting transmission continuously to the dirver's driving style or to a just existing or real time traffic situation, the driving speed (v), the lateral acceleration (aq), the longitudinal acceleration (alb), the longitudinal deceleration (alv) and the engine rotational speed (nmot) in addition to the throttle valve position alpha, are detected and by way of characteristic diagrams and a linking function are added to form a parameter from which, by filtering, a driving activity is determined. This driving activity is finally used for the selection of a shifting program from a plurality of shifting programs ranging from a consumption-optimized shifting program (SKF1) to a power-optimized shifting program (SKF5).

Abstract: In order to improve the shifting characteristics of an electrohydraulically controlled, automatically shifting transmission particularly during cornering and braking, the driving speed (v), the lateral acceleration (aq), and the time variation of the throttle valve position are sensed in addition to the throttle valve position (alpha) and the engine rotational speed (nmot). From the time variation of the throttle valve position, a signal can be derived for the prevention of an upshifting operation since a motor vehicle driver's foot moves away faster from the accelerator pedal when approaching a bend in the road than would be the case for the normal deceleration of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: In the stepping or indexing drive of a character drum having secured thereat a pinion, wherein there is provided an actuation plunger for rotary motion of the pinion in the one direction and another actuation plunger for rotary motion of the pinion in the other direction, there must be prevented that the character drum while rotating from one index position to the next can be stopped and remain in an intermediate position between two index positions. For this purpose, there is provided a movable locking or detent element which coacts with both actuation plungers and with inclined surfaces formed at the switch housing. This locking or detent element is brought by each individual actuation plunger, at the start of its actuating path, into a locking position for the other actuation plunger and retained in this locking position to positively prevent simultaneous actuation of both actuation plungers.
