Abstract: An in-cylinder pressure detection device which is
capable of ensuring stable detection accuracy
irrespective of tightening torque applied in mounting
the in-cylinder pressure detection device and thermal
expansion of component parts of the same. A housing 21
has a top wall 22a and a bottom wall 22b opposed to
each other, and is screwed into the body of an internal
combustion engine. An inner member 24 extends through
the housing 21 such that one end thereof projects into
a cylinder C, and has a flange part 24b accommodated in
the housing 21. A first piezoelectric element 11c is
accommodated in the housing 21 and sandwiched between
the bottom wall 22b and the flange part 24b in a
preloaded state, for outputting a first detection
signal q1 according to the in-cylinder pressure
transmitted via the inner member 24. A second
piezoelectric element 12c is accommodated in the
housing 21 and sandwiched between the top wall 22a and
the flange part 24b in a preloaded state, for
outputting a second detection signal q2 according to
the in-cylinder pressure transmitted via the inner
member 24.

Abstract: A beverage dispenser (10) for filling a container (20) preferably has a nozzle (14) through which
the beverage is discharged and a pivoting lever (22) located underneath the nozzle that detects
the placement of a container (20) so as to regulate the actuation of the dispenser. A
conductive probe (34) is in line with the discharged beverage stream, the lever (22) also being
conductive. A signal generator generates a varying-over-time signal that is applied to the
probe (34) or lever (22). As a result of beverage overflowing the container (20), the beverage stream
establishes a conductive path between the probe (34) and lever (22). The signal through this
conductive path is compared to the signal produced by the signal generator. If the signals
are substantially identical for a select period of time, the dispensing system is considered
to be in an overflow state, and beverage dispensing is terminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an overhead travelling carriage having a platform 12 supported by four belts 22 to 25. Of the belts 22 to 25, a pair of belts 24, 25 is attached to a pivoting arm 26 so that the pivoting arm 26 is pivotable around a pivoting shaft 28. Pivoting of the pivoting arm 26 absorbs, for example, the difference in length between the belts 24, 25. The present invention makes it possible to simplify and elevate and lower driving mechanism of the platform 12 and to easily adjust the lengths of the belts 22 to 25. The present invention also makes it possible to prevent vibration during elevation or lowering and to allow the belts 22 to 25 to stand long use (Fig. 2).

Abstract: A press-trigger fingerprint sensor module is disclosed, comprising two embedded switches, a sensor panel and a fingerprint recognition processor. When the user puts the finger in predetermined position over the sensor panel, the first switch is activated. The first switch sends out a high signal to have power connected to the fingerprint sensor. Without changing the position of the finger, the pressure being exerted perpendicular to the panel surface is transferred to the second switch, which then senses the presence of the finger and captures an image. The fingerprint recognition is performed subsequently. This sensor switch mechanism enables the system to obtain fast and high resolution images for fingerprint recognition. The smaller size of the fingerprint sensor not only reduces the power demands, but also breaks through the size barrier for encouraging more applications on mobile device.

Abstract: A technique for rearranging an input data stream for LZ data compression system to achieve a higher data compression. In one example embodiment, this is achieved by receiving an input data stream of a sequence of data blocks. Each of the received data blocks is then compared with each of a predetermined number of previously processed data blocks. One or more match locations and their associated match lengths for each of the data blocks are determined as a function of the comparison. An affinity array is then formed, such that e ach element in the affinity array comprises an affinity number based on the one or more match locations and their associated match lengths. The sequence of data blocks in the input data stream is then rearranged using the affinity array to form a new data stream. The new data stream is then encoded to achieve the higher data compression.

Abstract: A method of regulating message traffic in an instant messaging system that reduces message traffic and conserves mobile station battery power. The method includes determining whether an event prompting an instant messaging related message for a user has occurred, and determining whether an information send trigger has occurred, such as that user not being in an idle state, if it is determined that the event has occurred. The method further includes updating a store of accumulated instant messaging related information, such as presence information for the user's contacts, based on the event if it is determined that the information send trigger has not occurred, and updating the store of accumulated instant messaging related information based on the event and sending a message based on the updated store of accumulated instant messaging related information to the user if it is determined that the information send trigger has occurred.
