Abstract: An automotive fluid control system with
pressure balanced solenoid valve  [24]  and fluid mixing
housing  [22]  is disclosed. The solenoid valve  [24]  is
preferably used in an EGR (exhaust gas circulation)
fluid control system, although the valve may be used in
other vehicle fluid control systems, such as an engine
block cooling liquid control system. A poppet member
 [84]  of an EGR valve is pressured balanced such that
only a light spring  [170]  and armature  [88]  are needed
to control the positioning of the poppet member  [84] 
Magnetic and inductance sensors  [184, 282]  are used to
accurately determine the position of the poppet member.
The fluid mixing housing  [22]  homogeneously mixes first
and second fluids. A portion of a main first fluid flow
is funneled off and mixed in the housing  [22]  with a
second fluid prior to being returned to the main fluid
flow. Ideally, the housing  [22]  has a circumferentially
extending channel  [95]  for intercepting, funnelling and
mixing the captured portion of the main first fluid flow
with the second fluid flow. Also, a solenoid
subassembly  [82]  is disclosed which can mate with a
variety of different valve housings  [22]  and which is
adapted to mount on various engine configurations.

Abstract: A computer graphics processor having a renderer for rendering N views of 3D
scenes is provided. Said renderer comprising a rasterizer SSR for transversing a surface grid
over a surface of primitives of said 3D scenes for all N views. Furthermore, said renderer
comprises a shader means PPS for determining a color of the output of the rasteriser SS and
forwarding a shaded color sample along with its screen coordinates, and N screen space
resamplers SSR each for resampling the shaded color sample determined by said shader
means PPS according to one of the N views. 
     This is much more efficient, because the surface traversal, texture fetching and
shading computations arc only performed once for the N different views. The resulting
shaded colors are reused for all views. Additionally, the ability to traverse any grid over the
surface of the primitive provides more rendering freedom.

Abstract: In a multiple-input multiple-output transmission system (MIMO system), a receive station detects whether or not there is an error in each data stream, estimates the state of the propagation path of each transmit antenna and reports, to the transmitting side, re-transmission necessary/unnecessary information, for every data stream, created based upon whether or not there is an error, and the state of the propagation path of each transmit antenna. A transmit station decides a transmit antenna that transmits a data stream requiring re-transmission, based upon the reported state of the propagation path of each transmit antenna, and re-transmits the data stream requiring re-transmission from the transmit antenna decided.
