US Patent:

6392315, May 21, 2002

Filed:

Apr 5, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/285663

Inventors:

Gregory Lynn Jones - Carmel IN
Thomas Alton Peterson - Kokomo IN
Paul D. Koottungal - Indianapolis IN
Terrell Anderson - Carmel IN

Assignee:

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

F02P 900

US Classification:

307 106, 123597, 123605

Abstract:

In a vehicle having an engine and an ignition system, a sensing circuit is provided for sensing the ignition voltage and providing this sensed signal to various operating modules of the vehicle. The sensing circuit includes a diode/resistor filter that provides a filtered voltage signal at a first output node. A compensation circuit is provided that compensates voltage errors introduced by the filter circuit. The compensation circuit includes a second diode that has substantially identical electrical performance characteristics as the first diode, and that is preferably mounted on a common substrate. A voltage signal at a second output node between the second diode and the filter circuit is indicative of the voltage drop across the second diode, which is further representative of the voltage error introduced by the filter circuit. In one embodiment, the operating module receiving the ignition voltage signal is configured to receive voltage signals at the first and second output nodes. The operating module can include a microprocessor that receives the A/D converted voltage signals and subtracts the signal at the second output node from the signal produced by the filter circuit according to a predetermined relationship.

Appl. No.:

9/377483

Inventors:

Charles A. Howell - Batesville IN
Thomas M. Peterson - Erie PA
Dennis Coon - Erie PA
Richard L. Borders - Cincinnati OH

Assignee:

Hill-Rom, Inc. - Batesville IN

International Classification:

F21V 2108

US Classification:

362399

Abstract:

A surgical lighthead is provided with an outer cover, an inner reflective component, and handles disposed in recesses in the outer cover. The handles do not extend substantially beyond the outer surface of the outer cover. The recesses in the outer cover are spaced apart from the inner component. The handles and recesses are formed by multi-component handle assemblies shrink fit to eliminate gaps in the seams between the components.
