Patent EP-0884422-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMURA KAZUNORI
IPC: F02D29/04
Filed: 1998-06-08
Abstract: A pump controller (40) calculates a pump maximum
absorbing horsepower and a pump required horsepower based on
an accelerator signal, a pump delivery pressure and an
operation signal, determines an engine required horsepower
(PN) by selecting minimum one of both horsepower values, and
calculates a pump required revolution speed based on the
accelerator signal, the operation signal and an engine
revolution speed signal to determine an engine required
revolution speed (NN). The engine controller (40)
determines, from the engine required horsepower (PN), a
required-horsepower-referenced target engine revolution
speed (NK) at which a fuel consumption rate is minimized,
and selects larger one of the engine required revolution
speed (NN) and the target engine revolution speed (NK) as an
engine target revolution speed (NZ) to control an injected
fuel amount and fuel injection timing, thereby controlling
an engine torque and an engine output revolution speed.
Improved operability and less noise can be achieved, and the
fuel consumption rate of an engine can be controlled in an
optimum way to reduce the fuel consumption rate.

Abstract: When a driver voluntarily operates the steering during an
automatic steering control operation, the automatic steering control
operation is discontinued and a normal power steering control operation
is resumed. The automatic steering control operation is not quickly
changed to power steering control operation, but rather is gradually
changed to the power steering control operation, to prevent a sudden
change in the steering reaction which the driver receives from the
steering wheel and, hence, to decrease the feeling of incompatibility.
While the control amount of a steering actuator changes accompanying
the change of the operation from the mode of automatic steering control
operation to the mode of power steering control operation, the control
amount is linearly changed from a value of the automatic steering control
operation to a value of the power steering control operation over a
predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A conductor (112) and method for attaching a surface mount
device to the conductor (112), in which solder bumps (16) formed by the
method are characterized as being accurately located on the conductor (112)
and having a bump height and shape that provides stress relief during thermal
cycles, minimizes bridging between adjacent bumps (16), allows penetration
of cleaning solutions for removing undesirable residues, and enables the
penetration of mechanical bonding and encapsulation materials between the
chip and its substrate (10). Such benefits are achieved by forming the
conductor (112) of a nonsolderable material, on which a solderable pillar
(114) is formed. The pillar (114) is selectively formed to have a shape that
determines the distribution and height of the solder bump (16) on the
conductor (112).

Abstract: In a multicast capable IP network (102) implemented over an ATM network,
each client terminal on a multimedia conference, for each media type it
transmits, is assigned a multicast IP address and a port number (together
known as a socket) on which to transmit packets, wherein each assigned
multicast IP address is unique and different than the multicast IP address
assigned to any other client for any media type. Each client terminal then
selects, for each media type, which clients on the conference it wants to
receive packets from. Only packets that are in fact requested by a client are
routed over the multicast IP network to the requesting client. A single
special purpose Multicast Address Resolution System (MARS) server is
associated with the conference when the conference is established. Each
client terminal uses that MARS server, whether on the same or different IP
sub-networks, but on a common ATM network, for purposes of mapping the
multicast IP addresses used in the conference into a set of unicast ATM
endpoint addresses used by the ATM-connected client terminals. Similarly,
when a specific conference uses a Multicast Server, a single special
purpose Multicast Server is used for all clients on the conference, whether
on the same or different IP sub-networks, for purposes of establishing point-to-multipoint
ATM connections to the conference endpoints.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of encoding data including transforming the data into a
series of components having different frequency characteristics, said components each
including a series of coefficients; encoding said coefficients in a compact form, said
coefficients including a binary string and said encoding including providing a first
efficient encoding technique to encode the number of leading zeros in said binary
string, and rounding said coefficients such that a rounded coefficient does not alter
significantly the efficient coding of the leading zeros. Preferably, the rounding can
includes discarding a first number of insignificant coefficients and adding one to the
more significant coefficients only where the more significant coefficients are not zero.
The invention has particular application when utilised in encoding wavelet transformed
data and when utilised on image data.

Abstract: An assembly is used to treat objects in a defined gaseous atmosphere which has an oxygen content less than that of air, and in which environmentally harmful gases are generated. The assembly has a housing (10) with a gas inlet (24) releasing gas to the object, and an outlet (41). The housing has a first treatment zone (18) with the gas inlet (24), and in which the process gas is generated. Gas is released through a passage (36) to a second treatment zone (20) in which the oxygen content is low. The assembly has a return-feed for process gas which is exhausted by an extractor from the first process zone to an absorbent (zeolite, active carbon, molecular sieve, hydrophilic absorbent) filter (46, 48), which returns the gas to the first zone through a gas lock (12). A second gas lock (14) is located in the second process zone and discharges filtered process gas. A third gas lock (16) is located at the outlet, and is linked with a supply (82) of liquid nitrogen. A process gas air bleed (29, 30) is linked to the first gas lock (12). The filter circuit (46, 48) operates to recover the process gas in pref. liquid form and incorporates a condenser.

Abstract: An incinerator that is high in combustion efficiency, produces less noxious emissions and consumes less auxiliary fuel. The incinerator includes two beds (2,3) each having an upper (11,12) and a lower (13,14) crossbar and arranged one over the other in the incinerator body (1). The space between the crossbars of each bed is stuffed with tangled stainless steel whiskers (15,16). Such whiskers are also laid on a crossbar (8) provided near the top of the incinerator body. When wastes are burned in the incinerator, the whiskers are heated and turned red. The thus red-heated whiskers are brought into contact with unburned gas over a wide surface area, increasing the combustion efficiency. The whiskers of the upper bed has larger gaps therebetween than those of the lower bed so that wastes on the upper bed drop through the whiskers onto the lower bed when they burn and shrink in size. Gas permeability of each bed is thus maintained high, so that wastes can be burned completely and ashes remain little on the beds.
