Patent EP-1187278-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KATODA TAKASHI
IPC: H01T1/16
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a main element of a surge protector
device and its fabrication method which uses breakdown phenomenon of a single
high resistive film. A breakdown voltage and a place where breakdown occurs can
be precisely controlled. The surge protector device changes from its non-conductive
state to conductive state very quickly when a surge is induced and returns quickly to
the non-conductive state when a surge is removed if said element is surrounded by
oxidizing agent. 
     The main element of the surge protector device of the present invention has a
single high resistive film on a single metal bar. The high resistive film has a part or
parts where electric field concentrates when a surge induced. A breakdown voltage
can be controlled precisely by controlling a size including a thickness of the high
resistive film of the part. The part is called a fuse part. The main element includes
also at least two parts on said metal bar which are continuous to said fuse part.
Electrodes are formed on said at least two parts. Therefore said at least two parts
are called pad parts.

Abstract: A motor vehicle steering system is provided which includes:
an operation member (30) for steering a motor vehicle;
a steering mechanism (10) for turning steerable wheels of the
motor vehicle; a first actuator (51M; 51) and a second actuator

(20) is brought into the disengaged state, and a driving
force is applied to the steering mechanism (10) from the first

and the steering assist force is generated by the other normal
actuator in accordance with the operation of the operation member
(30).

Abstract: Procedure for the optimisation of the acoustic quality,
comprising the steps of arranging media (1) for playing
a recorded sound or for synthesising an artificial
sound, manipulating (2, 3) the sound thus generated so
to confer a predefined value of at least one psycho-acoustic
parameter, such as, for example, roughness,
loudness, sharpness or impulsiveness, subjecting the
sound thus manipulated to the subjective judgement of a
plurality of panels of statistically representative
experimental individuals, processing the subjective
evaluations of the panels, in association to the
psycho-acoustic parameters conferred to the sounds
which are the object of the evaluation, in such a way
to identify optimisation values of the perceived sound
quality. In the case of application to the sound
perceived inside the passenger compartment of a moving
motor vehicle, sound processing media are arranged
inside the motor vehicle for conferring optimal values
of one or more previously defined psycho-acoustic
parameters to the perceived sound.

Des agents automatisés (22, 40) opérant depuis un centre de données (20) produisent un trafic de messages permettant d'accéder au système de serveur (24) et de le surveiller à partir de nombreux emplacements à distance (30). Le trafic de messages associé à un emplacement d'accès à distance particulier (30) est transmis depuis le centre de données (20) vers l'emplacement à distance (30) via une liaison spécialisée (32), telle qu'une liaison ATM, puis acheminé par l'intermédiaire d'Internet vers un point d'accès Internet correspondant (30). La réponse du serveur à chaque message de demande est envoyée en retour vers le centre de données (20) via la même liaison (32) en tant que message de demande correspondant. Les points d'accès à distance (30) servent ainsi de point de présence virtuels à des fins de surveillance. Les temps de réponse et autres paramètres de fonctionnement sont déterminés par les agents (22, 40) et rassemblés dans une base de données (26). Des centres de données multiples (20) peuvent être interconnectés de façon que chaque centre de données (20) desserve un continent particulier ou une autre région grâce à un ensemble respectif de points de présence virtuels (30).
