Abstract: A vibration damping control system for an automotive vehicle is provided. This system includes a torque generator (3, 18) operating with given operation timing to produce a torque vibration of a preselected frequency and an operation timing controller (4, 5). The operation timing controller initially determines a phase difference between engine revolution and frequency of vehicle vibration formed of a resultant vector defined by a first vibration component caused by movement of a crankshaft of the engine (1) and a second vibration component caused by movement of a piston of the engine (1). The controller (4, 5) then modifies the operation timing of the torque generator (3, 18) to provide the torque vibration in an opposite phase relative to the vehicle vibration based on the phase difference determined to compensate the vehicle vibration.

Abstract: A LCD backlight system which regulates the light generated by the lamp by controlling the intensity of the light using a photoresistor cell. The current provided to the lamp is controlled by a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The PWM signal responds to brightness adjustments by the user and to a photoresistor exposed to the light from the lamp. An operational amplifier circuit controls the PWM signal so that if the lamp is too bright, the current to the lamp is reduced, and if the lamp is too dim, the current to the lamp is increased. When the lamp brightness reaches the appropriate intensity, the output of the operational amplifier is unchanging, causing the intensity of the lamp to remain stable.

Abstract: A tow cable comprises a high density, high damping core of a material such as lead (1), surrounded by a layer of helically wrapped or braided strength fibres of a material such as steel (2), or alternatively, of aramid fibres. Over this is provided a layer of a resilient, deformable thermoplastic material such as polyurethane (3), to provide for movement of the subsequent data-bearer layer under strain, so that no strain is applied to the data-bearers themselves. Around this layer (3) is provided a layer of helically wrapped (or braided) power and data bearers (4), comprising bearers including coaxial cables, twisted pairs, and fibre optic bearers. To ensure water-blocking, this layer may be enclosed in an extrusion of thermoplastic material (5), such as polyurethane. Around this is wrapped or braided a layer of protective fibres (6), of material such as steel or aramid fibre, and over this, in a roughly trochoidal cross-section, is extruded an outer layer of thermoplastic material (7), such as polyurethane. The trochoidal cross section is twisted along the length of the cable. This twisting of the trochoidal section causes the ridges to effectively rotate as the cable moves through water and therefore minimises vortex shedding and cable strumming.

Abstract: An improved semiconductor device fabrication technique is disclosed. A resist layer, composed of a chemical compound which generates an acid when exposed to energy light and a resin which contains protecting groups that are removed from the resin by acid, is formed on top of a semiconductor substrate. The resist layer is subjected to a lithography and a development process and is formed into a resist pattern. This resist pattern is exposed to ultraviolet beams, and the chemical compound generates an acid and the protecting groups are removed from the resin. As a result of such an elimination reaction, the surface of the resist pattern becomes coarse. Thereafter, an implant of ions is carried out to the semiconductor substrate using the resist pattern as a mask. The surface of the semiconductor substrate is cleaned using a cleaning solution, and the resist pattern with a coarse surface can easily and completely be removed from the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A plurality of PN modulators (28) are provided corresponding to a plurality of oscillators (22) at stages preceding or following them, or fluctuation is given to division ratios at the oscillators (22). Since each of n carriers combined by a combiner (24) contains phase fluctuation, the possibility that the peaks will overlap each other or that the carriers having opposite phases will negate each other is very low. The peak power in signals supplied to the amplifier (14) to be tested is unlikely to vary, enabling accurate evaluation or testing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for radiant heaters, such as are used in cookers with glass ceramic cooking plates (ceramic hobs). The connector according to the invention contains a number of improvements. For example, it is proposed that the welding lugs (8, 9), arranged at the connecting lugs (7), for the different installation positions of the connector are of identical length, starting from the imaginary axis B-B of rotation of the connector. In this way, the position of the welding points remains the same for each installation position. The dimensions of the connecting wires (10) and of a recess in the edge (12) of the insulating member always remain identical. Assembly aids in the basic member (1) of the connector permit the automatic fixing of the connecting wires (10) for the welding operation. Further innovations, as a whole, ensure that the connector has a reduced constructional depth and, as far as the connecting positions are concerned, can be used more universally. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves using a key function (k) for the transitional colours around the edges of foreground objects visible against the key colour of the background. The key function is determined by a calculator (C) operating on input parameters which denote a key colour (KC,theta,phi), a transition colour (CB,CR,Y) and a boundary region (alpha,beta). In the colour space, the boundary region separates the colours of the foreground of a video image from all the remaining colours. The equation for the boundary region is solved by a transformation unit (1), a cotangent multiplier (2), an adder (3) and a divider (4) using a key colour vector (KC) taken from memory (5).

Abstract: An automatic transmission control apparatus has first and second hydraulic servos (C1,C2) for engaging forward and reverse driving friction engaging elements, respectively, a fluid pressure control unit (3), a range shift detector (Sn5), and an electronic control unit (5). When the forward driving range is selected, the fluid pressure control unit supplies a forward driving range pressure to the hydraulic servo via a changeover valve (35) operated by a signal pressure from a normal open-type solenoid valve (36), when the signal pressure is drained. When the reverse driving range is selected, the electronic control unit outputs a signal to magnetize the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is thus turned on to discontinue the drain. The control apparatus thus prevents low pressure in the reverse driving range pressure to prevent delay of engagement of the clutch.
