Patent EP-1541900-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SAKAMOTO HIROYUKI
IPC: F16H61/682
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicular drive system. In a shift system wherein the transfer of power is performed using a motor, the smaller the gear ratio difference is, the smaller can be made the motor output. However, the number of gears must be increased in order to reduce the gear ratio. As the number of gears increases, the problem of gear noise becomes more serious. It is necessary to prevent both an increase in the number of gears and an increase of the motor output. 
     In the vehicular drive system according to the present invention, a shifting power unit (200) is not merely provided between a first intermediate shaft (13) and a second intermediate shaft (17) of a shift system which has the two intermediate shafts (13,17), but one side of the shifting power unit (200) is connected to a vehicle driving power unit (1), while an opposite side thereof is connected to a power transfer switching clutch so as to be connected to the first or the second intermediate shaft (13,17) through a reduction mechanism, whereby the output of the shifting power unit (200) is decreased while minimizing an increase in the number of gears.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for extending configuration dependent extensible software programs. Classes of a core extensible software program may be extended by adding a configuration dependent extension. The extensions may be added statically prior to compiling the core version of a software program or dynamically at runtime. The declaration of extensible core classes may include an extensibility attribute with an indication of whether the class is statically extensible or dynamically extensible. An object description language is also described herein for appropriately declaring configuration dependent extensible classes. Also, a preprocessor is described herein for processing the object description language to generate a source code representation of the extensible class declarations and their extensions. The source code representation may then be used to generate the extended version of the core software program.

Abstract: A system and method are provided that accurately estimate noise and that reduce noise in pattern recognition signals. The method and system define a mapping random variable as a function of at least a clean signal random variable and a noise random variable. A model parameter that describes at least one aspect of a distribution of values for the mapping random variable is then determined. Based on the model parameter, an estimate for the clean signal random variable is determined. Under many aspects of the present invention, the mapping random variable is a signal-to-noise ratio variable and the method and system estimate a value for the signal-to-noise ratio variable from the model parameter.

Locations, sizes and separation distances of key blocks from each other within the original data file and a selected portion of the encoding or encryption key are placed in a data supplement. The removed segments and data supplement (optional) are communicated to the selected recipient on a second channel and/or at another time. The original data file is recovered by using the data supplement information, or using already available information, decoding or decrypting the encoded or encrypted data file and replacing the removed segments within the data file remainder. Neither the remainder data file nor the removed segments plus data supplement is sufficient, by itself, to allow reproduction of the original data file.
