Title: Engine valve operating system
Inventor: NAKAMURA KATSUNORI
IPC: F02D13/02
Filed: 2004-05-26
Abstract: An engine valve operating system is provided that includes a variable valve lift mechanism in which, when there is a possibility that the rotational speed of the engine might increase beyond an allowed rotational speed due to a downshift error in a manual transmission, etc., the amount of valve lift is decreased without changing the opening angle of the valve (19). By so doing, the curvature at the top of the curve of lift of the valve (19) is reduced, the inertial force applied to the valve (19) is reduced, and improper movement of the valve (19) can be prevented. Moreover, it is possible to prevent any increase in the intake air volume due to a decrease in the amount of lift of the valve (19), and prevent the effectiveness of engine braking from being degraded, thus enabling the rotational speed of the engine to be decreased and thereby preventing improper movement of the valve (19) from being promoted.

Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: Image data from a video surveillance camera is moved from a volatile memory such as a circular buffer to a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory when a loss of signal from the camera is detected. The loss of signal may occur when an intruder disables the system such as by cutting a cable, by vandalizing the camera so that it no longer can transmit image data, or removing the camera altogether. The loss of signal is detected by determining whether a signal portion such as a start of active video code, end of active video code, or horizontal or vertical blanking interval, is present on a communication path of the camera. The system ensures that an image of the intruder is captured and stored before the system is disabled. Analog signals from the camera may be digitized for storage.
