Inventor: SEKIGUCHI SHINICHI
IPC: B01F5/04
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: A liquid dilution device is provided to prevent choking at a jet for
adjusting the flow amount of a special liquid. In the liquid dilution
device in which the special liquid from a liquid supply passage 33 of a
liquid intake device 29, is introduced to a diluent passage 12 formed in a
main body 10 through a jet 22, an air intake opening 37 and a plug 38 to
open and close the air intake opening 37 are provided at the liquid
intake device 29 to connect the liquid supply passage 33 and atmospheric
air. At the state that air from the air intake opening can be introduced
to the diluent passage 12 through the jet 22 with the plug 38 opened,
high velocity air passes through the jet 22 due to negative pressure
generated at the diluent passage 12, by making water pass through the
diluent passage 12. Due to the high velocity air, the special liquid
stuck to the jet 22 is removed and the jet 22 is cleaned.

Abstract: Magneto-optical sensor arrangement for detecting the position or movement of a scraper or other such moving body (12) beneath a high voltage component in a coating plant. Accordingly the polarization direction of linearly polarized light waves is changed due to the magnetic field sensed by a sensor element (15) that detects the signals of a magnetic signal element (14) attached to the moving body by use of the Faraday or Kerr effects. The resultant light signals are transmitted over an optical fiber (16) to a remote electronic analysis device.

IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2002-12-19
Abstract: A method for exploiting location information inherent in the location of points
within a transmitted signal constellation. A common method for assigning weights to
branch metrics in a Viterbi decoder is to assign Hamming weights which are
summations of the number of places in which a received bit pattern differs from the
bit pattern assigned to a branch metric. Signal strength information may be
incorporated into the weight assigned to a branch metric in the Viterbi decoder.
Additionally information inherent in the location of the points within a constellation
may be taken into account. Bit errors which require a larger deviation to occur are
given higher weights, and bit errors which require less deviation to occur are given
lower weights. By taking into account signal strength and location information up to
2dB of coding gain can be realized.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de direction assistée électrique destiné à un véhicule à moteur routier. Ce système comprend des moyens générateurs signal d'assistance de couple qui génèrent un signal d'assistance de couple destiné au système de direction en réponse au couple appliqué par le conducteur et à la vitesse détectée du véhicule afin de réduire l'effort de guidage du conducteur. Un couple haptique de vitesse de lacet est généré en fonction l'erreur de vitesse de lacet du véhicule et peut être ajouté au signal d'assistance de couple de manière que lorsque l'erreur de vitesse de lacet augmente en corrélation avec l'instabilité croissante (p. ex. sous-virage ou survirage) du véhicule, le couple haptique ajouté au signal d'assistance de couple réduit le retour effectif de la réaction routière, perçu par le conducteur avant l'apparition d'une quelconque perte de stabilité réelle du véhicule afin de permettre au conducteur d'entreprendre une correction appropriée en temps utile qu'une instabilité de conduite effective ne soit atteinte. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, le couple haptique peut être fondé sur l'accélération latérale du véhicule qui peut être soustraite du signal d'assistance de couple de manière que lorsque l'accélération latérale du véhicule augmente en corrélation avec un resserrement du virage du véhicule, le couple haptique soustrait du signal d'assistance de couple augmente le retour de la réaction routière effective perçu par le conducteur, conformément à l'augmentation des forces produites dans le virage par les pneus du véhicule.

Abstract: A spreading-code synchronization detection method for a
spectrum spreading signal, which increases the sensitivity
of spreading-code synchronization detection. In this method,
spreading-code synchronization detection is applied to a
spectrum spreading signal obtained by spectrum-spreading
data having a bit transition period equal to a multiple of
one period of a spreading code with the spreading code. A
process for obtaining a liner-addition correlation-calculation
result equal to a value obtained by linear
additions of the results of correlation calculations between
the spectrum spreading signal and the spreading code is
performed every unit period which is a multiple of one
period of the spreading code and shorter than the bit
transition period. The absolute value of the liner-addition
correlation-calculation result obtained every unit period is
calculated. The absolute value of the liner-addition
correlation-calculation result obtained every unit period is
added for a plurality of unit periods. A correlation point
is detected from a value obtained by adding the absolute
values.
