Patent EP-0379360-A3 (EP)
Title: Method for the preparation of fine particulate metal-containing compound
IPC: C01B9/00
Filed: 1990-01-18
Abstract: A finely divided metal-containing compound can be 
efficiently prepared by irradiating a mixed vapor phase of 
an organometallic compound in a concentration to exceed a 
specified lower limit and a reactant gaseous compound with 
laser beams having an incident energy density to exceed a 
specified lower limit. When the reactant gaseous compound 
in the vapor phase is an oxygen-containing compound, e.g., 
air, the resultant powdery product is an oxide of the 
metallic element of the organometallic compound. When the 
reactant gaseous compound in the vapor phase is a halogen-­
containing compound, e.g., methyl halides, the resultant 
powdery product is a halide of the metallic element of the 
organometallic compound. When the reactant gaseous compound 
is a second organometallic compound, of which the metallic 
element is not the same as the metallic element in the first 
organometallic compound, the resultant powdery product is 
a composite metallic powder of which the distribution of the 
two metallic elements is uniform throughout each particle.

Patent EP-0558120-A3 (EP)
Inventor: GEDL KARL ING
IPC: H04N9/87
Filed: 1993-02-16
Abstract: In a video recorder (1) for the recording and reproduction of picture signals in standard-play modes and long-play modes a reconverted picture colour signal supplied by a frequency-conversion stage (70) is passed through a delay device (84) having a delay of one line period in order to compensate for reproduction-dependent time errors during multi-speed reproduction of a long-play recording. In such a video recorder (1) a rectangular detection signal of half the line frequency is supplied to an output (76) of a phase detection stage (73) which detects the phase of the burst signal in the reconverted picture colour signal, which detection signal is applied, via a connection (91), to a modulator (36) for the modulation of non-modulated character signals as a control signal (S2) for the modulator (36), which generates modulated character signals suitable for insertion into the reproduced picture signals. The connection (91) includes a switching device (93) which enables a further delay device (94) having a delay of one line period to be included in the connection (91) in the case of multi-speed reproduction of a long-play recording by the video recorder (1), as a result of which the control signal (S2) is delayed by the same time as the picture colour signal during such a reproduction mode, which ensures that the picture colour signal and the character colour signal always remain locked to each other in the same way in all the modes of operation. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0567284-A3 (EP)

Filed: 1993-04-20
Abstract: The invention provides an aluminum-base composite material. The 
aluminum-base material contains a uniform distribution of carbide particles and 
lubricating phase particles such as carbon or graphite. The carbide particles increase 
hardness for improved wear resistance. The lubricating phase particles provide 
improved wear resistance and especially improve unlubricated wear resistance under 
increased loads. Finally, a dispersoid of nickel aluminide intermetallic phase may 
also be used to provide additional hardness and wear resistance. The composite is 
formed by introducing carbide particles and lubricating phase such as graphite into a 
molten aluminium alloy to neutralize buoyancy and to form an aluminum-base 
mixture. Mixing the aluminum-base mixture to uniformly distribute carbide and 
carbon particles throughout the molten aluminium. Carbide and carbon particles 
counteract each other to remain uniformly distributed throughout the aluminum-base 
alloy despite prolonged holding or cooling times.

Title: Fuzzy control apparatus in which rules can be changed, method of operating same, control system in which changeover is controlled by fuzzy reasoning, and method of controlling the same
Inventor: NISHIDAI HAJIME
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1990-07-10
Abstract: In a fuzzy control apparatus in which a rule is capable of being changed during operation, a fuzzy reasoning output which prevails immediately prior to a rule change is stored when a rule change is made, and a fuzzy-control output is generated by combining, after the rule change, the stored fuzzy reasoning output which prevailed immediately prior to the rule change and a fuzzy reasoning output which prevails following the rule change. The ratio of the combination is altered in such a manner that, with the passage of time from the moment at which the rule change is made, there is a gradual decrease in a percentage of the fuzzy reasoning output which prevailed immediately prior to the rule change, and a gradual increase in a percentage of the fuzzy reasoning output which prevails following the rule change, in the fuzzy-control output. Upon passage of a predetermined time from the moment at which the rule change is made, the fuzzy reasoning output which prevails following the rule change is outputted as the fuzzy-control output. As a result, a sudden change in the output at the time of a rule change is prevented so that a smooth changeover can be carried out. <MATH>
Patent EP-0704790-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YAMAMOTO HIROYUKI
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1995-09-26
Abstract: A data processing system employs a rechargeable battery and supports a full discharge of the battery and is not shut down even if a user mistakenly removes a battery while the system is being operated in a full discharge mode. This is accomplished by, in a full discharge mode, the external power source 1 constantly and steadily supplying power to first electric circuitry, whilst a battery 3 supplies power to second electric circuitry until the discharge is completed. The first electric circuitry is designed to include components, such as a CPU and a main memory, that may force the entire system to be shut down if the supply of power is abruptly halted to those components. The second electric circuitry is designed to include components, such as a backlight of a liquid crystal display device, that do never cause the entire system to be shut down even when the power supply to only these components is abruptly terminated. Therefore, if a user mistakenly removes a battery while a full discharge of the battery is in progress, only the power supply to the second electric circuitry is stopped, and the whole system will not be shut down. Therefore, only a backlight is turned off at the moment a battery is removed, and this can be immediately turned on again by switching in external AC power. <IMAGE>

Inventor: TAKEHARA TAKAO
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 1996-09-20
Abstract: This invention is to provide an inexpensive high
intensity discharge lamp lighting device having a simplified
circuit construction, which does not use a full-bridge mode
inverter. 
     The high intensity discharge lamp lighting device
includes a rectifier for a power-frequency power supply, a
booster chopper mode sine wave converter, a zero volt
switching push pull inverter, and a high intensity lamp of a
halide lamp. And, as a starting device for the halide lamp,
the high intensity discharge lamp lighting device generates
a high voltage (5 KV) using a resonance by a ballast choke
for the inverter and a condenser connected in parallel to
the halide lamp, thereby inducing a glow discharge. And, a
PFM (pulse frequency modulation) circuit controls the lamp
current of the halide lamp to keep it constant. And, when
the AC power is turned off and turned on again, a
re-lighting circuit after lighting works such that the
control IC stops operation by a pulse-by-pulse mode current
limiter of an inverter control IC, thereafter a soft
starting circuit operates to generate a high voltage on the
output of the inverter; when the lamp temperature is so high
that the mercury vapor pressure inside the tube goes high
and lighting cannot be started, the foregoing operation is
repeated to achieve re-lighting.
