Other traditional techniques, such as printing with fluorescent inks may be used in combination. The digitally watermarked image is subsequently observable upon exposure to the predetermined excitation source. The digitally watermarked image may be observed and decoded by appropriately configured detection systems, wherein the information obtained may be used for purposes including, but not limited to, authentication and security of the article or information contained within the article.

Title: Apparatus and method for variable valve control for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: KONDOU SHINYA
IPC: F01L1/34
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: The invention controls the opening of an oil control valve (OCV), which
controls the operation of a variable valve timing mechanism in an internal combustion
engine, according to a duty ratio of a driving pulse signal. An electronic control unit
(ECU) performs feedback control on a duty ratio DR of the driving pulse signal during
ordinary operation based on a target value and an actual value of the valve timing.
When the oil temperature is low (i.e., when the operating oil viscosity is high), the
ECU controls the valve timing of the engine by repeating an inching operation that
maintains the duty ratio DR of the signal at a large value (i.e., 0% or 100%) for a
predetermined hold time so as to operate the variable valve timing mechanism, and
then maintaining the duty ratio DR of the signal at a value (50%) that does not operate
the variable valve timing mechanism.

chamber volume reducing step of the diaphragm becomes a velocity at which the diaphragm reaches
the maximum-displacement position in a time equal to or less than 1/2 and equal to or greater than
1/10 of a natural vibration period T of fluid inside the pump chamber and the outlet flow path.
