A method of automatic testing of systems, such as DWDM systems with an OSA, has manufacturer's specifications loaded into the test equipment for a plurality of systems. A user selects one of the systems from a menu, and the test equipment from the manufacturer's specification for the selected system automatically acquires data and makes measurements on the data. The results of the data are summarized in a report which indicates an overall system status, indicating where and why the system failed...

A mesh type automatic transmission is equipped with a plurality of shift gears arranged to rotate freely to an output shaft for providing driving force to the wheels. Cogged clutches 12, 15 engage with the output shaft. Counter shift gears corresponding to each speed are fixed to a counter shaft rotated by the rotation of an input shaft and mesh with the shift gears for performing automatic shifting by controlling engagement of one of the cogged clutches with the voluntary shift gears determined...

An automatic valve includes a housing having an inlet passage and a passage to outlet, a linearly movable shaft disposed in the housing having two stops separated by a predetermined distance, a hydraulic unit connected to the housing and to the linearly movable shaft, and a sealing flange having at least one aperture accommodating the linearly movable shaft. The sealing flange being movable on the linearly movable shaft to close and open the passage to outlet through force of one of the stops on...

In a poppet valve the guide attachment (2) of each sealing member (1) together with the spring (5) is arranged and supported in a cup-like suspension member (8) inserted in a continuous receiving bore (15) in the catcher plate (3) and is guided with its external periphery at least in part directly on the internal periphery of the suspension member (8), as a result of which the guide length of the sealing member (1) and thus the length of stroke thereof becomes independent of the thickness of the...

An automatic analyzer which includes a storage means which stores test order information, a first identification means which reads sample identification information, a work list preparing means which prepares a work list on the basis of the sample identification information, a loading order determination means which determines the order in which sample cups and reaction cups are loaded from the work list, a second identification means which automatically reads specification component information...

The automatic analyzer for the assay of liquid samples comprises an exchangeable mixing chamber whose mixing chamber is tapered toward the bottom and is provided with an outlet which is followed by a bore which connects the mixing chamber to an outlet opening. An abrupt transition is formed between said bore and the outlet opening for the analyzed liquid. The abrupt transition is a restriction which serves as a collecting trap for disturbing particles, e.g. coaguli, which might lead to undesirab...

A valve system is provided that includes a valve connector that has a portion of a first passageway. The valve connector includes a suction port and an introduction port that are spaced apart and in substantially parallel alignment. The suction port and the introduction port are manipulable to establish fluid communication between the portion of the first passageway and the suction port or the introduction port. The valve connector may have a rotatable outer cap that includes the suction port an...

An automatic transmission of a motor vehicle includes a first rotating element provided by coupling sun gears of a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set to each other, a second rotating element provided by coupling carriers of the first and second planetary gear sets to each other, a third rotating element provided by a ring gear of the first planetary gear set, and a fourth rotating element provided by a ring gear of the second planetary gear set. The first rotating element i...

A method for generating a simple kind of computer based artificial consciousness, which means to give a in a computer running invention-pursuant program the capability to act and to know the effects of its actions and to plan further actions consciously. This is realized by giving the computer the capability to program its processor by its own and to plan that self-programming targeted. This works, because the computer learns to program in machine-code by its own and it has got a dynamical valua...
