Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de lampe qui comprend une lampe électrique pourvue d'un réflecteur interne placé dans une enveloppe, servant à rediriger la lumière émise par un filament pour l'éloigner du culot de la lampe et la renvoyer au filament. L'utilisation du réflecteur interne à cet effet améliore l'efficacité de la lampe et augmente sa durée de vie présumée par le fait qu'elle réduit le courant électrique requis pour maintenir le filament à une température optimale pour la production de lumière. En outre, le fait qu'il est possible de placer le filament de la lampe à proximité immédiate du fond d'un réflecteur externe permet de modifier la position du point focal d'un système de lampe contenant une telle lampe et donc l'utilisation de réflecteurs externes de moindre encombrement et d'un diamètre plus petit, cela sans que l'efficacité et l'intensité du faisceau lumineux émis par une telle lampe soient réduites.

Abstract: A fuel injection mode is flexibly controlled according to the actual extent of
adverse effects on an internal combustion engine (10) from both deterioration of
exhaust gas emissions and fuel dilution caused by fuel adhering to the piston top face
and the cylinder inner peripheral face. A dilution degree counter value C is counted
up when a coolant temperature at engine startup THWST and an intake air quantity
sum value after engine startup GASUM are each equal to, or less than, respective
predetermined values. A fuel dilution flag is set to "ON" when the dilution degree
counter value C is equal to, or greater than, a predetermined value CH. A fuel
injection timing of an intake stroke injection is changed to a timing on the advance
side when this fuel dilution flag is "ON."

Abstract: TTCM (Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation) decoder design. The design also adapts to any number of devices that perform decoding of Trellis Code Modulation (TCM) signals. After performing initial symbol processing within a data block to generate a number of check point values, the design selectively re-calculates some forward metrics (alphas) and backward metrics (betas), and the design is able to calculate extrinsic (ext) information for each symbol within the data block successively. The data block is subdivided into a number of sub-blocks that are intelligently processed to enable extremely fast processing. Generally speaking, the design performs initial processing starting from both block ends, and upon approaching the block middle, the design begins to process the block using skip backs to previous sub-blocks. The design employs a great deal of parallel and simultaneously processing to provide for very fast computation of the various values required to decode the block. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An auxiliary power unit (APU) for an aircraft utilizing solid
oxide fuel cells for providing electrical power. The solid oxide electrolytes of
the fuel cells allow for reformed fuel to provide a catalyst for oxygen migration.
The auxiliary power unit, utilizing solid oxide fuel cells, can also power
systems of the aircraft to produce water for use on the aircraft. Waste
exhaust energy may be captured from the APU by a power recovery turbine
which drives a compressor to provide aircraft cabin air under increased
pressure to the fuel cell, thereby increasing system efficiency. The APU may
provide all of the electricity to the aircraft allowing for more efficient aircraft
engine design and a decrease in aircraft engine size. Furthermore, the fuel
cell APU can reduce airport ramp noise and exhaust emissions.

Abstract: A method for section reducing an encasing tube to achieve excess length of
fibers within the tube. At least one, and preferably two, platforms are arranged at a
selected angular offset. Each platform includes a first plurality of rollers mounted in
stationary, linear and spaced apart fashion. A second plurality of rollers are mounted in
an adjustable, linear spaced apart and opposing fashion relative the associated first
plurality of rollers. Upon the tube passing between the stationary and adjustable rollers
associated with each platform, the rollers associated with each platform simultaneously
contacting first and second cross sectional locations of the tube and in order to apply
lateral compressing forces to the tube which decrease its gauge length, corresponding to
increasing its gauge thickness. The additional increase in excess fiber length (EFL) is due
to the fact that, even if the fiber length remains the same within a "gauge" length, the
"gauge" length of the tube will decrease, after going through the system of straightening
rollers, from an initial value, in front of the rollers, to a shorter "final" value, after the
rollers.

Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: An interactive client-server authentication system and method are based on
Random Partial Pattern Recognition algorithm (RPPR). In RPPR, an ordered set of data
fields is stored for a client (1010) to be authenticated in secure memory. An authentication
server (1030) presents a clue to the client via a communication medium (1020), such positions in the
ordered set of a random subset of data fields from the ordered set. The client enters input
data in multiple fields according to the clue, and the server accepts the input data from
the client via a data communication medium. The input data corresponds to the field
contents for the data fields at the identified positions of the random subset of data fields.
The server then determines whether the input data matches the field contents of
corresponding data fields in a random subset.
