Sr and a second component including at least one element selected from a
group of Y and lanthanoid series elements, the molar ratio of the first
component to the second component is in the range of 1:1 to 6:1 in terms of
oxides, the mean breadth and the mean length of the crystal grains are not
more than 0.1 µm and not more than 3 µm respectively, and the standard

Filed: 1998-10-30
Abstract: When first and fourth output transistors (15) and (18) are turned
on, the voltage at the connecting point between the first and second
driving transistors (19) and (20) drops. When second and third output
transistors (16) and (17) are turned on, the voltage at the connecting
point between third and fourth driving transistors (21) and (22) drops.
As a result, voltage differences between the collectors and emitters
of the first and second input transistors (2), (3) and the first and
second current source transistors (13) and (14) increase so that
saturation of the first and second current source transistors (13)
and (14) can be prevented. Since a resistor is connected between a
connecting point between upper and lower output transistors and a
connecting point between upper and lower driving transistors having
inverted phases from the former two transistors, current is limited
and oscillation can be prevented.

Abstract: A control system controls a hybrid vehicle having
an engine (1) for rotating a drive axle (2), an
electric motor (3) for assisting the engine (1) in
rotating the drive axle (2), and electric energy
storage means (14) for supplying electric energy to the

motor control unit (13) which calculates an output
power of the electric motor (3) depending on an
operating status of the hybrid vehicle and assists the
engine (1) based on the calculated output power of the
electric motor (3). The electric motor control unit
(13) also reduces the output power of the electric
motor (3) when the rotational speed of the engine (1)

Inventor: BARNARD CHRIS WILHELM
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: A method of equalizing the channels of a WDM link comprises
identifying an error threshold level BER Fail  for the BER defined for each
signal S(j) in accordance with the channel rate, and determining the
attenuation A(j) of, for example, the power P(j) of each signal S(j) transmitted
over the WDM link. The transmitter powers are adjusted taking into account
the attenuations determined for all channels. The attenuation A(j) for channel
(j) is determined by first setting the power P(j) of all signals S(j) to a maximum
P Max , attenuating the power P(j) of channel (j) until the BER reaches the
threshold value BER Fail , measuring the power corresponding to the BER Fail 
for that channel, and calculating the difference between the P Max  and P(j) Fail .
The transmitter powers are then set according to the relationship P(j)=P Max -η
(A(j)-A Min ), where η is 0.8 for a system with 3-4 channels. The method may
be used for multi-channel systems with intermediate nodes where channels
are added and dropped.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image transmission method
employing phase/amplitude resolution processing in which three-dimensional
data of an object recorded as a holographic fringe pattern by means of reference
light and light from the object are transmitted sequentially, and at the receiving
side, the holographic fringe patterns received are displayed sequentially and
with reference to the reproduced light, and the object is displayed in a three-dimensional
manner;
   wherein, at the transmission side, the following processes are executed:
a process in which the image of the holographic fringe pattern expressed in
terms of complex numbers is decomposed into an amplitude component image
and a phase component image, a process in which the high frequency
component of the spatial frequency in the amplitude component image
decomposed in this way is reduced, processing for converting the gradation in
the phase component image is carried out, and each image is compressed and
encoded after this processing, and a process in which the image data of the two
components compressed and encoded in this way are separately transmitted;   while on the receiving side, the following processes are executed: a
process in which the image data of the two components, which were separately
transmitted, are received, a process in which the received image data are
decoded sequentially into an amplitude component image and a phase
component image, and a process in which the decoded amplitude component
image and phase component image are again combined into a complex
component and displayed.

Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: A method for picking up a call by a second communication device after the call has been placed on hold by a first communication device regardless of the communication device type or whether it is within a closed network is achieved by detecting, by a server associated with the first communication device, that a call has been placed on hold by the first communication device and subsequently suspending the call. Next, the server associated with the first communication device waits for a directive call pick-up message, which may be provided by the first communication device or from a second communication device directly or via a server associated with the second communication device. When the server associated with the first communication device receives the directive pick-up message, it communicates with the server associated with the second communication device. Such a communication establishes a communication link between the servers such that the call may be picked up by the second communication device.

Title: Improved loin knife assembly for automatic loin puller apparatus
Inventor: ANDRE SCOTT E
IPC: A22C17/00
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: An improved loin knife for a loin puller apparatus having a scribe saw with an associated decelerator and depth gauge immediately in advance of the loin knife for the purpose of cutting through the ribs of the carcass middle. The loin knife has a bight region that is positioned and configured so as to extend through the fatback and to pull the loin portion with the fatback, and in pork carcasses the skin, intact. The bight has a substantially horizontal region that cuts through virtually the entire length of the fingers of lean, which include portions of the serratus dorsalis muscle. To assist in orienting a carcass middle with regard to the scribe saw and loin knife, the apparatus is provided with a load bar that engages the chine and provides for a more uniform alignment of the carcass middle with the loin knife in relation to the position of the chine. Also, a guide bar that is in substantial alignment with the load bar is provided to assist in the initial alignment of the carcass middle as the carcass middle is loaded into the loin puller. A laterally driven impeller is provided to force the chine portion of the carcass middle into the load bar, thus straightening the chine against the load bar. The impeller is also rotatably driven to assist in driving the carcass middle toward the loin knife. A programable logic controller, ("PLC"), is provided to control various operations of the loin puller device.

Abstract: A solid-state laser system (10) for producing high output power (11) and which is
packaged in a small, cylindrical housing (14) is set forth. The system (10) includes a plurality
of optical energy sources which emit energy that is absorbed by a solid-state laser
medium that is configured as a rod. The solid-state laser medium (80) has a central axis,
first and second end surfaces, and outer surface between the end surfaces upon which
the energy emitted from the optical energy sources is incident. The energy power
sources are typically semiconductor laser diode arrays (76). The laser diode arrays (76) are
positioned adjacent to the cylindrical outer surface of the laser medium (80) and usually
extend along a substantial portion of the entire length of the outer surface. The system
also includes first and second mirrors which are substantially aligned with the central
axis of the laser medium for producing laser resonation through the first and second
end surfaces of the laser medium. Because of the waste heat produced by the laser
medium and the laser diode arrays, the laser system contains a manifold system for
circulating a fluid past these components. The cylindrical housing (14) has a diameter that
is preferably less than about 2.0 inches and is mechanically coupled to the optics
bench (12). The cylindrical housing (14) is the same size as the housings used in other low-power
laser systems so that the same mounting structures which are commonly used
to support these other common lasers can be used to support this high-power, solid-state
laser system.
