Patent EP-0350201-A3 (EP)
IPC: F16H3/46
Filed: 1989-06-28
Abstract: An inlet port of a manual timing valve (306) is 
pressurized from a source of regulated line pressure 
through a manual valve when the vehicle operator selects 
certain gears manually. Hydraulic flow through this port 
enters the manual timing valve through an orifice (364) sized 
to control the flow rate. A first volume of the timing 
valve increases in size as a first piston (360) moves due to 
pressure of fluid flowing to the valve through the 
orifice. Pressure within the first volume is maintained 
constant while the first volume expands during a first 
interval, which ends when the first piston reaches the 
extremity of its motion. Thereafter, pressure entering 
the valve through the orifice increases abruptly and 
causes a second piston (330) to move against the force of a 
spring due to the increased pressure force developed on 
the second piston after the first volume stops 
expanding. As the second piston moves the size of a 
second volume increases during a second interval until 
the second piston bottoms. When this occurs, the valve 
opens a connection between the first port (360) and an outlet 
port (334) through a bypass line in which there is no 
restriction.

of poisoning and the concentration of carbon monoxide,
based on the signal representing the measured potential
difference.

IPC: B81B3/00
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: A method of cleaning and treating a device, including those of
the micromechanical (10) and semiconductor type. The surface of
a device, such as the landing electrode (22) of a digital
micromirror device (10), is first cleaned with a supercritical
fluid (SCF) in a chamber (50) to remove soluble chemical
compounds, and then maintained in the SCF chamber until and
during the subsequent passivation step. Passivants including
PFDA and PFPE are suitable for the present invention. By
maintaining the device in the SCF chamber, and without exposing
the device to, for instance, the ambient of a clean room,
organic and inorganic contaminants cannot be deposited upon the
cleaned surface prior to the passivation step. The present
invention derives technical advantages by providing an improved
passivated surface that is suited to extend the useful operation
life of devices, including those of the micromechanical type,
reducing stiction forces between contacting elements such as a
mirror and its landing electrode. The present invention is also
suitable for cleaning and passivating other surfaces including a
surface of semiconductor wafers, and the surface of a hard disk
memory drive.

Abstract: A translation apparatus and a translation method arranged
to facilitate the operation of inputting (1) a speech and to
obtain a correct translation. When a speech in Japanese is
input to a microphone (1) by a user, it is recognized in a
speech recognition section (2) and one or more words
constituting the speech are output (7) to a system control
section. The system control section (4) searches Japanese
sentences stored in a first language sentence storage section
(5) to find one of them most similar to a combination of one
or more words output from the speech recognition section (2).
The Japanese sentence thereby found is output through an
output section (7). If this Japanese sentence is correct, the
user operates one of control keys (3). The system control
section (4) then searches English sentences stored in a second
language sentence storage section (6) to find one of them
corresponding to a translation of the Japanese sentence output
as a search result, and outputs the English sentence thereby
found through the output section (7).

Abstract: A method and network interface for controlling the flow of data between a and
an ATM network is provided. The network interface resides on an ATM interface and
includes a state machine for each channel supported by the ATM interface. The state
machine moves from state to state based on the contents of a local buffer, indications
that data for the channel is ready to be transferred from the host computer to the local
buffer, and the status of operations that transfer data for the channel from the host
computer to the local buffer. The ATM interface includes a DMA unit and a
segmentation unit that operate responsive to the states of the various state machines to
avoid inefficient transfer operations. Specifically, the DMA unit does not attempt to
move data for a channel from the host computer to the local buffer if the state of the
state machine for the channel indicates that (1) there is no more data in the host
computer for the channel or (2) there is no more room in the local buffer to receive
data for the channel from the host computer. The segmentation unit does not attempt
to transmit cells for a channel when the state of the state machine for the channel
indicates that the local buffer does not contain enough data for the channel to construct
a cell for the channel.
