(US5200877-A)      The vehicle storage battery protection system senses a drop in battery voltage to a level at which the battery still retains sufficient power to start the vehicle. If the sensed voltage remains at or below this level for a time greater than the time normally required to start the vehicle, the battery is disconnected from the load and a hysteresis signal is provided to prevent a reconnection as the battery voltage begins to rise after the load has been disconnected.    The load is automatically reconnected to the battery upon operation of the ignition switch to restart the vehicle. A reset circuit provides a small test voltage to the disconnected load, and senses a voltage drop caused by operation of the ignition switch to start the vehicle. This sensed voltage drop is detected and causes a main switch to reconnect the battery to the loads.    ADVANTAGE -   Automatically reconnects battery to load upon operation of vehicle ignition system.    (JP3020273-B2)      An electromagnetic digitiser tablet has an electrode array under an active tablet area and a pointing device having an inductor, the combination when energised with the pointing device over the electrode array will generate electrical signals representative of the pointing device location over the array with respect to at least one tablet coordinate. The electrode array comprises a number of individual elongated conductors capable of selective excitation or selective signal detection. Each array conducto comprises at least three active parallel conductor portions distributed under the active tablet area.    The active parallel conductor portions of each array conductor are interconnected such that the current flowing in one of the parallel conductor portions is divided among the other parallel conductor portions. A device is selectively connectable to each array conductor such that excitation or induced currents flow simultaneously in all its parallel portions.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Low cost digitiser tablet. Contains fewer individual conductors without decrease in resolution.
