Abstract: Method and apparatus for maintaining an ion beam (14) along a beam
path from an ion source (12) to an ion implantation station (16) where
workpieces are treated with the ion beam. An ion beam neutralizer (44) is
positioned upstream from the ion treatment station and includes confinement
structure (120) which bounds the ion beam path. An electron source (126)
positioned within the confinement structure emits electrons into the ion beam.
An array of magnets (124) supported by the confinement structure creates a
magnetic field which tends to confine the electrons moving within the
confinement structure. An interior magnetic filter field is created inside the
confinement structure by a plurality of axially elongated filter rods (208) having
encapsulated magnets (224) bounding the ion beam and oriented generally
parallel to the ion beam path. This interior magnetic field confines higher energy
electrons (300) from leaving the ion beam path and permits lower energy
electrons (301) to drift along the ion beam.

Abstract: The ground material and binder are mixed with water in a mixer, with the amount of water determined by the gravimetric quantity of material and binder. The first amount of water is less than normally required, determined empirically from various ratios of material and binder. The resulting mix is measured and a second, controlled amount of water is added and mixed. The mixture is passed to a reactor where the pressure drop in the pump line is measured and compared with the maximum allowable level. This enables the control to accurately determine the final amount of water to be added prior to pumping the mixture to the destination. The monitoring system measures the consistency of the mixture, the shear properties etc. The measuring systems use functions as defined by Ostwald, Bingham and Newton.

Abstract: A target speed change ratio of a continuously variable transmission of a
vehicle is set according to the running state of the vehicle. Dynamic
characteristics of the continuously variable transmission are estimated for
each speed change ratio, and a speed change ratio output value is calculated
based on the dynamic characteristics. An external disturbance compensating
value is computed from a speed change ratio command value, the real speed
change ratio, the dynamic characteristic estimated value and a predetermined
time constant, and the transmission is controlled by the speed change ratio
command value based on the speed change ratio output value and external
disturbance compensating value. By applying the lesser of a temporary target
speed change ratio having predetermined characteristics and the target speed
change ratio to the calculation of the speed change ratio output value when
the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, a dimensional
error in parts is compensated and smooth speed change control is realized
when the vehicle starts.

Abstract: In a hierarchical network, an aggregation parameter is exchanged
between a node and its neighbor to agree on a negotiated parameter. A set
of physical links between them are aggregated into a logical link according
to the negotiated parameter and resource data of the logical link is stored in
a database of each node. The resource data is then exchanged between
them and the contents of the database of each node are updated with
resource data of its neighbor. To optimize the link aggregation, an
operating performance of the logical link is evaluated by the node using
traffic data from the network, and the negotiated parameter is updated
according to the detected operating performance. The updated
aggregation parameter of the node is exchanged with its neighbor to agree
on a negotiated updated parameter which is used to aggregate the physical
links into the logical link.

Abstract: In a data expanding method, compressed data including a plurality of blocks is
first subjected to entropy decoding, block by block, in a horizontal direction. At a last
block on each line, the decoded data is subjected to inversive quantization. By decoding
the last block on a line, an address is detected that is recorded with head data of a head
block on a next line. By the inversive quantization of the last block of the line, a DC value
is detected that is required for inversively quantize the head block of the next line. The
block beginning from the detected address is subjected to entropy decoding and inversive
quantization so that the inversively quantized data is subjected to IDCT conversion using
the detected DC value. Also, during expansion, an adjacent block address and a DC value
of the current block are detected.

Abstract: A security device for vehicle disclosed is of a type
generating a seed that is used suitably in order to generate a
key by being encoded and that is decreased in regularity. Namely,
the security device for vehicle according to the present
invention has a construction that generates from vehicle control
data the seed used for generating an authentication key on the
vehicle side and a key on the user side by being encoded. By
such construction, the seed is generated from the vehicle control
data concerning the constituent elements of the vehicle that are
kept in a state of operation. Since the vehicle control data
itself is a type that momentarily changes in correspondence with
the state of operation of the constituent elements of the vehicle,
thus generated seed exhibits substantially no regularity to
thereby become a very good kind of random number.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for inhibiting enzymatic browning in raw, peeled
potatoes comprising dipping the potatoes in a solution of heated organic acids (45-65°C),
followed by treatment in a weakly basic solution to neutralize the potato
surface and treatment with reducing agents, followed by storage in modified
atmosphere packaging. The process may comprise two stages, in which sodium
erythorbate in solution (approximate pH 7.8) is used both as the neutralizing agent
and the reducing agent. Alternatively, the process may comprise three stages, in
which a solution of the salt of an organic acid (such as sodium citrate) is used to
neutralize the potato surface following the heated acid dip, and a third stage
containing the reducing agents sodium erythorbate and erythorbic acid are
combined at a final pH of greater than 4.3. Chelating agents or sequestrants may
be added to the solutions. The process tends to delay the onset of enzymatic
browning and, once browning has begun, limits the extent of enzymatic browning.
The novel process causes little or no hardening or separation of the potato surface
tissue in the final cooked product, and is potentially an alternative to the present
use of sulfites for raw, peeled potatoes.
