  • Patent number: 6106428
    Abstract: A continually variable transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft and a first drive mechanism having a first input on a first axis and a first output on a second axis. The first drive mechanism produces a fixed ratio of the speed of the first input to the speed of the first output. The first input drives the first output without a member on an intervening axis. A second drive mechanism is arranged in parallel with the first drive mechanism, having a second input and second output, for producing a stepless, continually variable range of ratios of the speed of the second input to the speed of the second output. A mode clutch alternately driveably connects and releases either the members of a first group consisting of the first input and second input or the members of a second group consisting of the first output and second output.

  • Patent number: 6101457
    Abstract: A test access port for an integrated circuit (or circuits) having a test register and a controller is provided. The controller enables the testability functions that have been selected by the test register. The test register performs the select function and the controller performs the enable function. An integrated circuit, having operation circuitry having nodes and external terminals for input and output of signals during normal operation, a test controller connected to at least a first one of said external terminals for receiving signals and for providing output signals during a test operation, and a test register for containing signals representative of selected tests to be performed connected to said test controller and at least a second one of said external terminals and responsive to said output signals of said test controller for enabling selected tests is provided.

  • Patent number: 6017763
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery, identification and characterization of nucleotides that encode the G protein regulated phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase, a heterodimeric enzyme which produces the intracellular messenger phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate in response to activation of trimeric G protein-linked receptors. This novel protein, comprised of a catalytic subunit, p120, and a regulatory subunit, p101, is found in cells of hematopoietic origin and is involved in immune system responses which cause inflammation. The presence of p101 subunit is largely responsible for the dramatic stimulation of kinase activity in the presence of activated trimeric G proteins.

  • Patent number: 5829135
    Abstract: A pulley shaft and stationary pulley assembly for a belt drive mechanism of a continuously variable transmission includes an inner surface of the pulley having metal-cutting serrations, a blocking shoulder, and a surface for engaging a pilot guide surface formed on the shaft. The shaft, formed of softer material than the hardened pulley, includes a shoulder adapted to have serrations formed in it during the assembly process, a hardened pilot guide, and a blocking shoulder adapted to contact the blocking shoulder of the pulley.

  • Patent number: 4031690
    Abstract: The disclosure embraces noise abatement apparatus and a method of abating noise in a yarn texturing machine of the type that employs rotatable spindles driven by endless belts, heater means and yarn transport means, all of which are spaced along a frame between a gear housing and a motor housing; the apparatus includes sound insulating walls for enclosing the timing belt driven pulley located nearest the gear housing together with tunnels lined with sound absorbing material through which the endless belts of the machine pass from the gear housing over the frame of the machine; also, there are included means for isolating the vibrations of idler pulleys for the drive belts from the mounting rail as well as reducing sound propagation from the rotating idler pulleys; noise generated from within the gear housing of the machines is also suppressed.
