IPC: F02P17/12
Filed: 2000-11-27
Abstract: The method involves storing electrical energy in a magnetic field built up by a primary current, whereby the field breaks down when the primary current is interrupted and a high ignition voltage is generated by induction. A control signal gives the desired value for the primary current and the primary current is limited to this value by a current regulator. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for current regulation of an ignition system for an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The present invention provides a clutch control device
which is capable of compensating the wear of a clutch disc
precisely. The clutch control device includes clutch disc
23, a pressure plate 24 which urges the clutch disc 23,
a diaphragm spring 25 which urges the pressure plate 24
toward the flywheel 21, a release bearing 26 which urges
a central portion of the diaphragm spring 25, a release
fork 27, and an actuator 30. Outer peripheries of the
respective flywheel 21 and the diaphragm spring 25 are
engaged with each other by way of a tapered portion 24d
of the pressure plate 24 and an adjust wedge member 29.
Only when a vehicle body vibration, the central portion
of the diaphragm spring 25 urged largely toward the
flywheel 21, which causes the adjust wedge member 29 to
rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the outer
peripheries of the respective flywheel 21 and the
diaphragm spring 25.

Abstract: A technique for reducing reconvergence time by a reconverging device in a PIM-SM
domain of a communication system involves sending by the reconverging device to a
neighboring device a reconvergence message including a reconvergence indicator, such as a
randomly selected Generation Identifier value. In response to the reconvergence message, the
neighboring device sends to the reconverging device a PIM Bootstrap Message identifying the
Rendezvous Point devices in the PIM-SM domain. The reconverging device creates the
appropriate PIM-SM states for the Rendezvous Point devices. Additionally, the neighboring
device sends to the reconverging device a PIM Join/Prune Message for each multicast group for
which the neighboring device supports a downstream multicast group member. The
reconverging device creates the appropriate routing entries for the multicast group memberships,
and forwards each PIM Join/Prune Messages towards its corresponding Rendezvous Pointer
device. Additionally, the reconverging device detects any directly connected multicast group
members, and sends to the neighboring device a PIM Join/Prune Message for each multicast
group for which the reconverging device supports a directly connected multicast group member.

Abstract: There is provided a decoupled fetch-execute engine with static branch
prediction support. A method for prefetching targets of branch
instructions in a computer processing system having instruction fetch
decoupled from an execution pipeline includes the step of generating a
prepare-to-branch (PBR) operation. The PBR operation includes address bits
corresponding to a branch paired thereto and address bits corresponding to
an expected target of the branch. The execution of the PBR operation is
scheduled prior to execution of the paired branch to enforce a desired
latency therebetween. Upon execution of the PBR operation, it is
determined whether the paired branch is available using the address bits of
the PBR operation corresponding to the paired branch. When the paired
branch is available, the expected branch target is fetched using the
address bits of the PBR operation corresponding to the expected branch
target.

Abstract: A fluid sampling apparatus comprises a cartridge 11
containing a granular filter media 112. The cartridge 11 is
received in a sampling device 23 of the apparatus which
comprises an inlet 22 and outlet 21 for the fluid to be sampled
and means 14,20 for compacting the granular filter media 112.
In use, the fluid to be sampled flows between the inlet 22 and
outlet 21 through the compacted granular filter media 112 in
the cartridge 11. The cartridge 11 can then be removed from the
sampling device 23 to a remote location where the retentate
collected on the granular filter media 112 can be removed by
backwashing. 
     Cryptosporidium and other parasites are captured by the
compacted granular filter media 112, owing to the compacted
media having a pore size which is less than that of the
cryptosporidium or other parasites to be detected. 
     Prior to backwashing, the filter media 112 is allowed
to expand and separate, thereby facilitating removal of the
retentate therefrom.

Abstract: A method is provided for multiple remote units (RU)s to efficiently
utilize resources on a shared OFDM high speed data channel without
collisions. A collision occurs when two or more RUs transmit on the same
frequency at the same time. The method defines two distinct states for
accessing the channel. These are the Arbitration state (103) and the Data Transfer
state (107). A base station transmits a flag on the downlink to notify the RUs of
which state is in effect. RUs having a data message notify the base station by
transmitting a frequency tone, which acts as a request to transmit data,
during the arbitration state. The tone frequencies are frequency spaced to be
mutually orthogonal, so that the base station can receive all the uplink
requests simultaneously. Upon receiving the uplink request signals (106), the base
station establishes the data transfer state and orders the uplink data
messages from the remote units is a non-interfering sequence (108a,108b). A system for
preventing uplink data message collisions in an OFDM communications
system is also provided.

IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2000-07-13
Abstract: A system and method for optimized decision-making for e-commerce. A system architecture for off-line, proactive decisions also supports performing simulations prior to deploying off-line or on-line decisions. There are four sections to the architecture: experiment design, which provides tools for creating and deploying experiments to test various combinations of decision values in preparation for modeling results; a model-building section provides tools for creating and deploying mathematical models whose purpose is to encapsulate data and results in a form that may be used to make future decisions; a decision-making section which provides tools for creating and deploying optimized decision answers; and a tracking section which provides tools for recording the results of experiments deployed in the experiment design section and the decisions deployed in the decision-making section. The system architecture for on-line, reactive decisions is a modification of the off-line system architecture. On-line applications are usually built to serve other purposes besides decision-making. Therefore, the decision-making process needs to be embedded in the applications. The transforms and rules may be built with the off-line system architecture then deployed to the on-line application. The combination of the off-line and on-line architectures may allow for building closed-loop systems. The off-line system architecture may be used to build a system for executing experiments and decisions. The on-line system architecture may be used to embed the experiment and decision execution in an on-line web application. The combination becomes closed-loop when the results may be captured and used to drive future decisions.

Abstract: An optical head scans the information layer (3) of an optical record carrier (1) by means of a radiation beam (13). Optical aberrations in the beam such as coma and spherical aberration, caused by tilt and thickness variations in the optical disc respectively, are compensated by an aberration compensator (27) arranged in the radiation beam. The tilt or thickness variation is measured by a detector (30) and used to control the aberration compensator. The radiation beam is focused onto the information layer by an objective system (11). A displacement of the objective system in the transverse direction (26) as used for radial tracking of the optical beam, causes a mismatch between the wavefront to be compensated and the wavefront introduced by the aberration compensator (27). The detrimental effects of the mismatch are reduced by compensating only part of the aberration. The degree of compensation depends on the maximum displacement of the objective system and the tolerable wavefront error.
