Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for operating at least one exhaust valve of an engine. The engine has at least two engine operating conditions. The system in accordance with the present invention includes an energy supply assembly for supplying energy to operate the at least one exhaust valve during one of the at least two engine operating conditions. The system may further include an energy transfer assembly for transferring the energy from the energy supply assembly to operate the at least one exhaust valve. A valve actuating assembly is also included for actuating the at least one exhaust valve in response to operation of the energy transfer assembly. During operation, the energy transfer assembly transfers a first amount of energy to the valve actuating assembly during a first engine operating condition to open the at least one valve a first predetermined distance, and the energy transfer assembly transfers a second amount of energy to the valve actuating assembly during a second engine operating condition to open the at least one valve a second predetermined distance.

Abstract: The invention presents catadioptric (single-camera) sensors using one or more mirrors (1-5) to produce rectified stereoscopic images. By combining multiple views (using the mirrors) to form a composite stereo image that is already rectified (i.e., has scan-line correspondence), the invention aids provision of real-time stereo images by avoiding computational cost and image degradation due to computer-rectification-related resampling when rectifying. The invention specifies the number of mirrors (1-5) that must be used and the geometric/locational constraints on those mirrors that must be substantially satisfied to obtain rectified stereo images with a single camera. The invention also discloses specific configurational techniques for how the mirrors should be placed to minimize sensor size. The configurational/geometric parameters disclosed enable cost-efficient, compact, and error-tolerant single-camera stereoscopic image sensing system and methods, removing the need for computer-controlled image rectifying steps and allowing for convenient computerized capture, processing, manipulation, storage, and transmission of stereo images.

Abstract: A memory controller prevents CPUs and other I/O bus masters from accessing memory during a code (for example, trusted core) initialization process. The memory controller resets CPUs in the computer and allows a CPU to begin accessing memory at a particular location (identified to the CPU by the memory controller). Once an initialization process has been executed by that CPU, the code is operational and any other CPUs are allowed to access memory (after being reset), as are any other bus masters (subject to any controls imposed by the initiated code). <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided a double-walled structure for coupling to another double-walled structure. Said coupling connects one female end portion (1F) of the one structure (1) and one male end portion (2M) of the other structure (2) together. Said connecting requires only connecting of the outer walls (1B; 2B) of the structures together, providing an overlapping connection. The inner walls (1A; 2A) of said structures have a gap (G) between their ends, when connected. Thereby the coupling of the structures (1; 2) are facilitated. The space between the inner wall (1A; 2A) and outer wall (1B; 2B) of the structure is occupied by an insulating material (1C; 2C), such as a sound absorbing fibrous batting. The space between the male/female end portions for connection to a female/male end of another structure is filled by a seal 1S; 2S), preventing loss of insulating material and providing insulation of the joint coupling the double-walled structures together. The structure can be used, especially, as a segment in a sound-absorbing ductworks system. <IMAGE>
