Abstract: Es wird ein Sensor vorgeschlagen zur Überwachung eines NOx- Katalysators, der ein Speichermaterial zur Adsorption von NOx aufweist, wobei das Speichermaterial das sensitive Element des Sensors bildet. Dadurch kann der aktuelle Beladungsgrad des Speichermaterials gemessen und eine quasi-lineare Regelung für die Speicherung von NOx ermöglicht werden. Indem der Beladungsgrad des Speichermaterials genau überwacht wird, kann die Speicherkapazität besser ausgenutzt und der Katalysator kostengünstiger dimensioniert werden. Die Konversionsphase der Anfettung kann präziser vorhergesagt und damit im Fahrzyklus günstiger untergebracht werden. Der Sensor zur Überwachung eines NOx-Katalysators eignet sich besonders für den Einbau in den Abgasweg eines Verbrennungsmotors mit Benzin-Direkteinspritzung oder eines Dieselmotors.

Abstract: To provide an image display apparatus in which, even if pixel data is phase-expanded, the
influence of a circuit characteristic difference can also be dispersed between frames. 
     The apparatus has a phase expansion circuit (380) to which are input a first video signal A1
having pixel data for driving pixels with positive voltages and a second video signal /A2 having
pixel data for driving pixels with negative voltages. The phase expansion circuit (380) forms six
phase-expanded signals V1 to V6 from the first and second video signals A1 and /A2. The
phase-expanded signals are expanded into pixel data by extending the data length of items of
the pixel data corresponding to some of the pixels periodically selected. The phase expansion
circuit (380) outputs the phase-expanded signals to phase-expanded signal output lines in
parallel with each other. The apparatus also has a connection change circuit (390) for changing
connections between six phase-expanded signal output lines (388a to 388f) and six signal
supply lines (132a to 132f). Change of the order of expansion into six phase-expanded signals
V1 to V6 by the phase expansion means and change of the combination of connections changed
by the connection change circuit (390) while being linked to the expansion order are controlled
by a timing generation circuit block (200). This timing generation circuit block (220) performs
change control so that a expansion order first set with respect to the preceding frame is
changed to a different expansion order in synchronization with vertical synchronization.

Abstract: A ferrofluid manufacturing process applies energy to a nonmagnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 
starting material to render it magnetic and suitable for use in a ferrofluid. The material
is placed, together with a solvent and a surfactant, in a commercial attrition mill where
the mill action converts the non-magnetic particles to magnetic particles. In order to
eliminate a solvent replacement step which is necessary with oil carrier liquids, water is
used as the grinding solvent and as the ferrofluid carrier liquid. The resulting water-based
ferrofluid has a high saturation magnetization, low viscosity and good colloidal
stability. Using the inventive method, a large volume of fluid can inexpensively be
synthesized in a short time.

Abstract: When level sensors (61-63) detect the fall of the levels
of treatment liquids from standard levels to supply
levels while a photo-developing apparatus having
treatment tanks containing treatment liquids is in
operation, water supply devices (54,55) are activated to supply
water to the standard levels in the respective treatment
tanks. When the photo-developing apparatus is
restarted after a suspended time, the water supply
devices (54,55) are activated to supply amounts of water
corresponding to predicted evaporation amounts of the
treatment liquids within a time set in relation to the
suspended time. A sufficient development stability can
be ensured by keeping the concentrations of the treatment
liquids at proper values even at an operation starting
point, such as when the photo-developing apparatus is
restarted.

zone, desorbing zone and an adsorbing zone and the honeycomb
rotor is rotated so that it passes through these zones one
after another. After gas to be treated has passed through
the adsorbing zone, concentration of VOC in the gas is
measured on the exit side by means of a concentration
detector.

amount of air flow, after having entered the cooling zone,
and a part thereof enters the desorbing zone through a
heater. Further air coming out therefrom is heated again by

A reinforcing fibrous cloth collar is inserted into the tube end. A block mounted at the end of the mold includes a molding impression where the collar is located. A second similar block may be fitted to the other end of the mold. A tubular inflatable is inserted into the tube and collar; a second block is mounted in place completing the mold. The blocks include a terminal molding recess. The mold is closed and thermoplastic at 80-160 degrees C is injected, whilst the inflatable is pneumatically expanded. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding cylindrical mold. Preferred features: The resin is polymerized at a temperature of 120-180 degrees C for 0.5-5 hours. On either side of the collar in the molding impression, protective guards prevent the collar from being nipped in the joint plane of the blocks; they are extracted once the block is in place. Resin is injected through one end of the mold whilst pressure is reduced at the other. The reinforcement cloth is made of carbon fibers, glass fibers or aramid fibers; the resin is epoxy.
