Patent EP-0721277-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH DAVID B
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: A caller who calls an 800 number is given an audible or visual
indication that the call will not incur any charges for services provided on that call
by the called party. If such charges will be incurred the caller is warned and may
terminate or continue the call. For certain classes of telephone subscribers such as
coin stations wherein the caller is not always the same person as the one who pays
the bills, calls wherein the caller may incur charges for services provided on the call
are automatically routed to an operator, such calls can then be completed using credit
or calling cards in order to transfer the charges from the owner of the telephone
station to the caller who made the specific call.

Abstract: A microprocessor 24 detects turn start and turn finish of a
vehicle on the basis of outputs of various sensors 11, 12 and 13,
and during this operation, the microprocessor 24 successively
sets a current position to a middle point of a next link every time
a predetermined condition is satisfied. While the current position
is shifted from the middle point of a link to the middle point of a
next link, the vehicle travel azimuth output from the sensor is
corrected to approach to the azimuth of the link by an amount
corresponding to the difference between the link azimuth of the
just-previous middle point and the vehicle travel azimuth, and the
current position is displayed on the basis of the corrected travel
azimuth and the travel distance. Information on each link is
obtained form a road map which is stored in a CD-ROM 15 and in
which roads are expressed by an assembly of links. With this
device, the current position can be displayed in the vicinity of a
road on a road map on which the vehicle runs, even on a curve
which is not accurately displayed on the road map.

circuits are connected electrically with one another by
means of pillar-shaped conductors that are formed by
electroplating. Each bump is a multilayer structure in two
or more layers formed by successively depositing different
electrically conductive materials by electroplating.

loop which has an adaptive controller and an adaptation
mechanism coupled to said adaptive controller for estimating
controller parameters  and. The adaptive controller calculates
a feedback correction coefficient using internal
variables that include the controller parameters  and, to

air/fuel ratio to a desired air/fuel ratio determined
earlier from the detected air/fuel ratio by a dead time d'.

the dead time may be determined to be longer than
the proper value to eventually improve vehicle drivability,
or determined shorter than the proper value to compensate
for a insufficient fuel adhesion correction.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a pin-disposed
portion (484) where a pin member (483) for mounting a heat
exchanger on a vehicle is disposed is structured such that an
inner edge shape of a cross section of the pin-disposed portion
draws a four-sided closed curved line. The pin member passes
through an inner space (485) of the pin-disposed portion and is
connected to the pin-disposed portion at plural positions. In
this way, the pin-disposed portion constructs a shell structure
which is superior in a mechanical strength. Further, because
the pin member is connected to the pin-disposed portion at
plural positions while passing through the space, the shell
structure of the pin-disposed portion can be made more rigid.

Abstract: Automated apheresis apparatus and methods avoid unneeded
collection and return of blood components. An operator "dials in" a desired
amount of one or more blood components, whereupon the invention
calculates the number of cycles necessary to achieve the target and directly
implements an appropriate apheresis procedure. The invention may vary the
volume of the separation chamber instead of, or in addition to, modifying
the number of collection cycles in order to reach a target collection point.
The invention may utilize a return procedure whereby, prior to the final
collection cycle, only a portion of the contents of the separation chamber is
returned to the donor; the returned portion is calculated such that filling the
partly empty separation chamber on the last collection cycle results in just
meeting the collection target. The invention may also monitor, in real-time,
the amount of desired product actually collected during an apheresis cycle,
and based thereon calculate the number of cycles necessary to reach the
target level. Finally, the invention may continuously compare overall blood
collection volumes with the volume of blood product actually obtained in
order to compute a machine collection efficiency for each type of blood
product collected.

Abstract: The disclosed novel method of making III/V semiconductor lasers
involves cleaving of the wafer along predetermined cleavage planes. A cleavage
plane is defined by means of aligned non-continuous depressions (e.g., 51, 52, 53).
The depressions are spaced from the laser contact regions, and typically are
V-grooves produced by photolithography and anisotropic etching. A further surface
feature (7), typically a precisely positioned scribe mark, facilitates cleavage
initiation. When carried out in vacuum the novel method can provide high quality,
accurately positioned cleavage surfaces, and consequently can facilitate increased
yield of high power lasers.

Abstract: An improved apparatus is provided to control supply of
airflow to an engine (1). The engine (1) includes a
combustion chamber (4) connected to an air intake passage
(6) and an air exhaust passage (7). An air intake valve (8)
selectively opens and closes the intake passage (6) to
control the supply of the airflow to the combustion chamber
(4). An air exhaust valve (9) selectively opens and closes
the exhaust passage (7) to control the discharge of the
exhaust gas from the combustion chamber (4). An altering
device alters a period of an overlap of the valves by
changing a valve timing of valves. A first detector detects
a driving state of the engine (1). An ECU (80) computes a
target valve timing based on the detected driving state of
the engine (1) controls the altering device (25) based on
the computed target valve timing. An adjusting device
(23,24) is arranged in the intake passage to adjust the
supply of the airflow to the combustion chamber (4). The
ECU (80) computes a target amount of the airflow to be
supplied to the engine (1) in an idling state. The ECU (80)
detects the period of the valve overlap. The ECU (80)
computes a correction value to correct the target amount of
the air based on the detected period of the valve overlap.
The correction value is continuously variable based on the
period of the valve overlap. The ECU (80) corrects the
target amount based on the correction value by increasing
the target amount by the correction value and controls the
adjusting device (23,24) based on the corrected target
amount.
