Patent EP-0833148-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIYATA SHIGERU
IPC: G01N27/419
Filed: 1997-09-19
Abstract: An air/fuel ratio sensor is controlled such that the oxygen
concentration of the measurement gas can be detected from a pump
current substantially instantaneously after a heater turns on.
In the air/fuel ratio sensor an oxygen pumping cell and an oxygen
concentration measuring cell are each formed of a solid
electrolytic layer interposed between a pair of porous electrodes.
One of the electrodes of each cell defines a measurement gas
chamber in which the diffusion of the measurement gas is
controlled. After a micro current is supplied to the other
electrode of the oxygen concentration measuring cell for a
predetermined period of time, thereby forming an internal
reference oxygen source, the supply of the micro current is
stopped and at the same time a pump current in the oxygen
pumping cell starts to be controlled until the interelectrode
voltage of the oxygen concentration measuring cell reaches a
target voltage. After the air/fuel ratio sensor is activated, the
supply of the micro current is restarted.

Abstract: A histogram-equalization method for enhancing an image signal represented by a predetermined number of gray levels is disclosed. The method calculates a cumulative density function and a mean level in a unit of a picture, and maps a input sample into a new gray level by a transform function which is defined by use of the cumulative density function and the mean level. The method may include also a step of obtaining a compensated mean level by adding to the mean bright level, so that the input sample is mapped into the compensated mean level according to the mean level. Thus, a brightness compensation may by carried out along with a enhancement of contrast of the image.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the air bearing surface of a magnetic head of a tape drive by employing components of an actuator for oscillating the magnetic head against bristles of a brush assembly. circuitry is provided which senses the appropriate time to commence the cleaning action and continues the cleaning action for an appropriate duration when the magnetic tape is off the magnetic head. The circuitry causes the actuator to move the magnetic head in oscillatory motion against stationary bristles of a brush assembly which are selectively brought into engagement with the magnetic head. The engagement and disengagement of the bristles with respect to the magnetic head are implemented by a lever arm which has camming surfaces which are engageable with a leader pin which moves a leader block and magnetic tape about a guide and across the magnetic head.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for dearomatization of petroleum distillates, wherein a distillate feedstock containing aromatic compounds is fed into a hydrotreating process unit, in which its aromatic compounds are hydrogenated. According to the invention at least two of the following petroleum distillates a to c are hydrogenated in the same hydrotreating process unit: a) a solvent cut having a boiling point range of 60 to 270 °C, b) a middle distillate having a boiling point range of 180 to 320 °C, and c) a naphtha having a a boiling point range of 20 to 190 °C. The temperature rise in the reaction zone is limited to less than 60 °C by cooling the effluent of the reaction zone and recycling a part of it to the reaction zone. By means of the invention it is possible substantially to reduce investment costs for dearomatization units, because several different kinds of products can be treated in the same unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for automatic
tensioning of a fastening (4), which is adapted to
hold a load on a vehicle. The device has a fastening drum
(2) for receiving the fastening, a tensioning means (6)
for manual tensioning of the fastening and a mechanical
retensioning means (8) for automatic increase of the
tension of the fastening. The tensioning means and the
retensioning means are via a coupling means (10) connected
to the fastening drum for rotation thereof in a direction
of tensioning. The tensioning means is via the coupling
means connected to the retensioning means for activation
thereof. The retensioning means comprises a power-storing
means (62, 64), in which power is stored during
activation and is released automatically for increasing
the tension of the fastening. When the tensioning means
is operated, its motion is transferred via the coupling
means either to the fastening drum or to the retensioning
means. When the tensioned fastening slackens, the retensioning
means acts via the coupling means on the fastening
drum for elimination of the slack.
