Abstract: A system, method, device and computer code product is disclosed for stabilizing compass heading under tilt error conditions from an uncorrected electronic compass reading. Exemplary embodiments include a stabilizing filter configured to filter out tilt errors incorporated into the uncorrected electronic compass reading and a filter adaptation module configured to control the stabilizing filter response based on the signal radius of the uncorrected compass reading and a pre-calibrated ideal radius for the compass. The filter adaptation module can be configured to calculate a filter response parameter as a function of the relative difference between the signal radius of the uncorrected compass reading and the pre-calibrated ideal radius. The filter response parameter can be passed to the stabilizing filter for controlling its operation.

Abstract: A compass compensation system is provided for automatically and continuously calibrating an electronic compass for a vehicle, without requiring an initial manual calibration or preset of the vehicle magnetic signature. The system initially adjusts a two axis sensor of the compass in response to a sampling of at least one initial data point. The system further calibrates the compass by sampling data points that are substantially opposite to one another on a plot of a magnetic field and averaging an ordinate of the data points to determine a respective zero value for the Earth magnetic field. The system also identifies a change in magnetic signature and adjusts the sensor assembly.

Abstract: A cassette position control device controls the position of a cassette in which wafers are stored, when the wafer cassette is loaded on a cassette support. In addition to the cassette support, the device has a cassette moving section and a control section. The control section senses the state of the wafer cassette on the cassette support, and generates and outputs a motor drive signal to move the cassette to a designated relative position on the cassette support. The cassette moving section moves the wafer cassette to the designated position in response to the motor drive signal. Therefore, wafers can be loaded/unloaded to and from the same designated position after the wafer cassette has been placed on a cassette support.

At the same time, the interior layer ruler blade housing has reliefed labeling and markings, and by design the exterior layer ruler blade housing jackets each have a reticulation aligned with the positions of the labeling and markings. The exterior layer ruler blade housing jackets are fitted over the interior layer ruler blade housings, enabling the visual exposure of the interior layer ruler blade housing labeling and markings through the exterior layer ruler blade housing jackets, thereby increasing the practical value of the tape rule housing structure.

Abstract: A clothing dryer including a first exhaust duct mounted inside the clothing dryer and adapted to exhaust air from the clothing dryer and a second exhaust duct to be inserted on the first exhaust duct. A pressing portion is mounted on the first exhaust duct to press both the first and second exhaust ducts, and a fixing portion is affixed to a rear surface cover of the clothing dryer so as to fixedly maintain the first exhaust duct relative to the rear surface cover.

Abstract: The key feature of the “linkage energy return shoe” is a compressible sole comprising a sole linkage which constrains the upper shoe plate to not tilt, in one embodiment, and to follow a controlled compression path, in general. A consequence of the anti-tilt feature inherent in the sole linkage is that a spring located anywhere in the sole resists sole compression at both the toe section and the heel section. Thus, one or two springs or stops suffice, and the modular design makes it a simple matter to change springs to tune the bow shoe to an individual's weight and gait and to change shoe and ground plates for different size feet. The spring system can easily give a constant force curve, a linear force curve, or any force curve in between—thereby permitting faster running for a given maximum force and thereby reducing impact injuries.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding element for a shoe sole. The sliding element includes an upper sliding surface and a lower sliding surface, wherein the lower sliding surface is arranged below the upper sliding surface so as to be slideable in at least two directions. The upper sliding surface can form a lower side of an upper sliding plate and the lower sliding surface can form an upper side of a lower sliding plate. A relative sliding movement between the upper sliding surface and the lower sliding surface distributes the deceleration of the shoe sole over a greater time period and allows the foot to feel as if it is wearing a conventional shoe that contacts a surface with reduced friction, for example, a soft forest ground. As a result, the force acting on the wearer and the momentum transfer on his or her muscles and bones are reduced.
