Abstract: When a "screen saver" operates to display a homogeneous black picture image after the same image is continuously displayed on a CRT (10) for a constant period of time, a power supply (3) for a CRT display unit is controlled to be turned off, thereby preventing the CRT display unit from being left for a long time in a power-on state. Namely, a waiting time for 3 minutes, for example, is provided when the "screen saver" so operates that the CRT displays a homogeneous black picture image to turn off a power circuit (9) for the CRT, and then a heater (14) for the CRT is turned off after a lapse of a prescribed period of time within 5 to 60 minutes, for example. A function for enabling such an operation of the "screen saver" may be provided in an extension graphics board (51) which is inserted in an open slot (53) provided in a computer of an open architecture type. In this case, the graphics board (51) is provided with an input detection part (68) including a keyboard access detection part (78) for detecting an address signal which is supplied to an address bus (66) in response to manipulation of a keyboard (57), and an interruption request detection part (77) for detecting an interruption signal which is outputted in response to manipulation of a mouse (58) respectively. A timer (69) is reset when the input detection part (68) detects presence of an input signal from the keyboard (57) or the mouse (58). When no reset signal is supplied from the input detection part (78) again before a lapse of a period of time which is previously set in the timer (69), a blank signal is supplied to the CRT display unit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ensemble batterie habituellement doté d'une pluralité de modules accumulateurs (16). Lors de la fabrication de l'ensemble, les modules accumulateurs (16) sont incorporés dans un bac (10) de batterie à cloisons de séparation fixes (14) et à cloisons de séparation intermédiaires (20) de sorte que celles-ci traversent des trous de maintien (18) de batterie et des trous d'insertion (22) d'accumulateurs. Les parties de connexion des accumulateurs (12) qui constituent chaque module sont maintenues et soutenues par les trous de maintien (18) d'accumulateurs des cloisons de séparation fixes (14). Les accumulateurs (12) sont refroidis ou chauffés efficacement quelle que soit la position verticale desdits accumulateurs (12) en bloquant l'écoulement d'un milieu chauffant/refroidissant du bas vers le haut par des parties saillantes d'ajustement (38) ou en ajustant la section du passage d'écoulement du milieu. Du fait qu'on fabrique séparément les cloisons de séparation intermédiaires (20), cet ensemble batterie peut être facilement fabriqué et assemblé. En outre, les accumulateurs (12) peuvent être refroidis ou chauffés de manière efficace avec un nombre de pièces et d'heures/homme d'assemblage moindre. Cet ensemble batterie peut être convenablement monté sur une automobile telle que le véhicule électrique, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to connection-oriented packet-based telecommunication networks such as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and particularly to route optimization in such networks. A network node (20) on the route adds to a packet flow a special packet comprising a unique code which the network node (20) locally uses for identifying the special packet and for associating the special packet to a particular formed connection. If there is a loop on the path (2,BTS1,3) the special packet added to the packet flow returns back to the same network node. When the network node detects that the special packet provided with the unique code returns back, it may conclude that on the path of the connection to which the unique code is associated to, there is a loop that should be eliminated. Thereafter the network node may internally switch an optimal path (1,4,BTS2) bypassing the detected loop (2,BTS1,3). Furthermore, the network node preferably releases the loop in a manner characteristic of the network. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention also the elimination of the detected loop is based on the use of the special packet.

Abstract: This invention pertains to the emission control in motor vehicles but also in ships, airplanes and diesel locomotives. The control system may either be fitted into new vehicles by the manufacturer or be retrofitted by the driver in older vehicles. An adsorption system serves to reduce the vehicle emissions during the cold-start period, in case of malfunctions in the engine or in the exhaust gas after-treatment system and in times of high quantities of pollutants in the atmosphere. To regenerate the adsorbent masses, the pollutants will be desorbed, introduced into the combustion chamber and burned.
