Book Organizing Device with A flat, horizontally disposed shelf like member, a fixed, vertical end panel attached to one end of the shelf member, a slidable vertical panel having a constant force spring centrally attached under the shelf member, the slidable vertical panel exerting approximately one pound of force inwardly towards the fixed end panel, the constant force spring having an encoder ring mounted to the spring reel, a photo diode placed to read said encoder ring that provides a signal...

A reminder system operating at a specified location is provided. When an information ID (such as an "address C, B, AA, and bookstore") transmitted from a small antenna station agrees with information (such as an "address C, B, AA, and bookstore") stored in a memory of a reminder passing by the installation location of the small antenna station, the reminder outputs an alarm, and displays free messages ("The address here is C, B, AA" and "There is a bookstore") on the display of the reminder. Thu...

The present invention relates to a WDM transmission system and the like suitable for optical communications between local stations having a relatively short repeater interval. In particular, the WDM transmission repeater employed in the WDM transmission system demultiplexes a plurality of signal lights propagating through a transmission line into first and second groups, takes out the second group, comprises a multiplexer for sending into the transmission line a new WDM signal group in which the...

A device for ABS-integrated brake pad wear indication in a motor vehicle in which all line paths are constructed to avoid current loops and induction surfaces. All the wheel speed and pad wear signal lines respectively lead to the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit in a single strand or are combined at least via common fixings, grommets, intermediate connecting plugs and a single terminal connecting plug. Owing to coding of different warning signals for, e.g., ABS, ASR and brake pad wear, the signal co...

A physical-quantity detection sensor includes a sensor portion (10) for generating and outputting a voltage depending on a physical quantity. A signal processing circuit (4) operates for processing the voltage outputted from the sensor portion (10) to generate and output a voltage depending on the voltage outputted from the sensor portion (10) during a physical-quantity sensing mode of operation. A reference voltage is inputted into the signal processing circuit (4) during a checking mode of ope...

A control lever for earth moving machines a plurality of control pushbuttons able to be connected to a plurality of devices of an earth moving machine and to be selectively activated between a condition of operation and a condition of non operation of the related device, and a plurality of visual indicators operatively connected each to one of the pushbuttons to visually indicate the condition of the related pushbutton. Said visual indicators are each constituted by a light source which is light...

The system and method calculates fire development based on the plurality of tunnel parameters, the plurality of sensor parameters, and t...

A method and apparatus for data exchange between a towing vehicle and an attached trailer uses radio contact via transmission/receiving modules contained in the towing vehicle and in the trailer. To recognize that the towing vehicle and the trailer are connected, the transmission/receiving module of the towing vehicle transmits an identification signal, and at the same time, changes the electrical status of a connection line between the towing vehicle and the trailer. If the transmission/receivi...

An apparatus for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure which detects the decrease in internal pressure of the tire based on wheel speed information obtained from wheels of a vehicle and accordingly alarms a driver. The apparatus comprises: a wheel speed information detecting means, a memory means for storing the wheel speed information of the respective tires, a calculating means for calculating a judged value based on a vehicle velocity and wheel speed information, and a judging means for dete...
