Patent EP-0829386-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SASAKI SHOICHI
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: While a ring gear shaft 126 linked with a drive shaft rotates, a power output apparatus 110 applies a torque to a first motor MG1 attached to a sun gear shaft 125, thereby abruptly increasing a revolving speed of an engine 150, to which a fuel injection is stopped. A torque generated by a frictional force of, for example, a piston in the engine 150 and working as a reaction is applied as a braking torque to the ring gear shaft 126 via a planetary gear 120. The magnitude of the braking torque depends upon the frictional force of, for example, the piston and can be controlled by regulating the revolving speed of the engine 150 by means of the first motor MG1. This control procedure enables the energy consumed by the engine 150 to be output as a braking force to the drive shaft.

Abstract: A multiple-mode dielectric resonator in which a combined
dielectric block (2) formed of a plurality of dielectric
elements (2a, 2b) combined into a crossed shape is used to
cause three resonance modes along a plane defined by two of
the dielectric elements (2a, 2b), and in which the resonant
frequency of each mode is determined, or a multiple-mode
dielectric resonator in which the degree of coupling between
predetermined resonance modes is determined. If first and
third resonance modes are two TM 110  modes having different
lines of symmetry of electric field distributions, and if a
second mode is a TM 111  mode, dielectric-cut portions (5a,
5b) are formed in the combined dielectric block, for
example, at positions where the electric field distribution
of the first resonance mode is concentrated while the
electric field distributions of the second and third
resonance modes are not concentrated, thereby selectively
determining the resonant frequency of the first resonance
mode.

IPC: G02F1/015

Abstract: An apparatus includes a driving voltage generator that
generates a pulse driving voltage having a rising edge
and a decaying edge. An optical modulator produces
a first pulse at the rising edge of the pulse driving
voltage and a second pulse at the decaying edge of the
pulse driving voltage. Therefore, the first and
second pulses are both produced from a single driving
pulse voltage. The frequency of the first pulse is
determined by the slope of the rising edge of the
pulse driving voltage and the frequency of the second
pulse is determined by the slope of the decaying edge
of the pulse driving voltage. The first and second
pulses are transmitted through a transmission line.
A detection device detects the first and second pulses
after being transmitted through the transmission line.
A processor then determines the amount of dispersion
in the transmission line by comparing the time
interval between the detected first and second pulses
to the time interval of the first and second pulses 
before being transmitted. Generally, the optical
modulator is a Mach-Zehnder modulator driven with a
pulse driving voltage exceeding the half-wavelength
voltage of the modulator.

signal, indicating that the conduction direction
associated with the respective firing order does not carry
current, and which thus generate a firing order for the
second of the first and second conduction directions with
an optional delay (T1*f*360°) after the occurrence of said
