Abstract: A method for printing a screen image for the Unix
operating system which is simple to perform by a user is
based upon known techniques for establishing a pseudo
terminal. Under the method of the present invention, a
master process (56) and a client process (52) controlled by
the master process (56) are established within the processor
(12). The master process (56) determines whether the stroke
is from a print screen key (38) or some other key. If the
stroke is from the print screen key (38), the master process
(56) reads the screen image from a screen buffer (44), and
converts the screen image to a printable graphic. A printer
(42) prints the printable graphic.

Abstract: A device for controlling ignition timing in an
internal combustion engine which can provide change of
output as demanded. 
     A target ignition timing is found by correcting a
basic ignition timing found corresponding to engine speed
and load. 
     The target ignition timing is compared with a
previous practical ignition timing. If the target
ignition timing is more advanced than the previous
practical ignition timing, an advancing angle is
calculated in accordance with the amount of the load
change in such a manner that the advancing angle is small
when the load change is small and advancing angle is
large when the load change is large. 
     The ignition timing is advanced from the previous
practical ignition timing to the target ignition timing
by the calculated advancing angle.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide a compact high-power
alternator for a vehicle. It is another object of this invention
to provide a low-noise alternator for a vehicle which outputs an
increased power during operation at a low rotational speed. An
alternator 1 for a vehicle includes a stator 2 having inner
circumferential surfaces formed with many slots having open ends
35. Teeth ends of the stator between the slots have magnetic-flux
collecting projections 36 extending in circumferential directions.
The magnetic-flux collecting projections 36 are previously formed
by, for example, a pressing process during a stage in which they are
thin steel plates. An electric conductor forming a winding 33 has a
diameter greater than a width of inner openings of the slots. A
piece of the electric conductor extends into a first slot from a first
side of the iron core 32, and extends out of the first slot to a second
side of the iron core 32 before extending into a second slot, which
is distant from the first slot by an electric angle of 180°, from the
second side of the iron core 32 and extending out of the second slot
to the first side of the iron core 32. The winding 33 has a
recurrence of such pieces which forms one phase. The winding 33

Abstract: A high speed electric motor for automotive applications that is designed to
effectively minimize vibration of its component parts and thus suppress noise generated
during its operation. The motor incorporates acoustic engineering principles including
surface vibration control, acoustic radiation efficiency, active intensity field control and
noise control using acoustic materials to reduce overall vibration of the motor
components and the motor noise sensed by the passenger of the vehicle. In one aspect,
a mounting flange is disclosed for mounting an electric motor of the type including a
housing (12) defining an internal chamber (14), an armature (18) disposed within the internal chamber (14)
and having an armature shaft (56) mounted for rotational movement by at least one bearing (20,22)
and magnet means (M) for inducing rotational movement of the armature shaft. The
mounting flange (28) includes a flange member defining a central axis and having a central
opening dimensioned to accommodate the housing (12) of the motor and an outer portion
arranged about the central axis. The outer portion includes a stamped pattern having at
least one depressed portion configured to minimize vibration energy transfer. In
particular, the stamped pattern functions to divide the flange member into a plurality of
sections, which, in effect, separates the large vibrating energy transferred to the flange
member into smaller vibrating sources. In addition, the stamped pattern works to
reduce the overall noise level by making use of the phase variation between the created
small vibrating elemental sources. Furthermore, the stamped pattern effectively stiffens
the flange to also reduce surface vibration levels.
