Inventor: GUGGOLZ MANFRED
IPC: F16H61/04
Filed: 2003-08-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a drive train comprising a driving engine and an automatic gear transmission. It is advantageous to precalculate the development of the rotational speed of the driving engine in specific situations, e.g. during gear shifting of the transmission, wherefore prestored development-related parameters, e.g. in the form of gradient values, are corrected during requested changes of the rotational speed. In order to allow the precalculation to be particularly precise, the corrected gradient is determined according to a requested difference in the rotational speed. Alternatively, a corrected reaction time can be calculated along with a corrected gradient, and the precalculation can be done by means of said parameters. The reaction time is the result of the time difference between the triggering of a significant change of a state variable, e.g. a rotational speed, of the drive train. Changes in the rotational speed can be requested and the resulting gradients and/or reaction times can be stored if no prestored values are available.

Abstract: Un système de lithographie optique comprend une source lumineuse, un modulateur spatial de lumière, une optique d'imagerie et des moyens pour déplacer en continu un substrat photosensible par rapport au modulateur spatial de lumière. Le modulateur spatial de lumière comprend au moins un réseau d'éléments commutables individuellement.

Lorsque l'image se déplace à la surface du substrat, les éléments du modulateur spatial de lumière sont commutés de manière à ce qu'un pixel à la surface du substrat reçoive, en série, des doses d'énergie en provenance d'éléments multiples du modulateur spatial de lumière et forme ainsi une image latente de la surface du substrat. L'optique d'imagerie est configurée pour projeter une image trouble du modulateur spatial de lumière sur le substrat, ce qui permet de placer les bords des traits distinctifs avec une résolution supérieure à un pixel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction stir welding technique which
avoids occurrence of a dent, in a joining region, extending to
a level beneath the joined surfaces. At end portions of the
frame members (50, 60) to be joined, at the joining region, thickened
parts which project toward the rotary body joining tool (70) are
provided. Two adjoining thickened parts, of adjacent members
to be joined, can form a trapezoid shape. The rotary body
joining tool has a small-diameter tip portion and a larger
diameter portion. The rotary body joining tool is inserted in
the thickened parts. In a state where the rotary body joining
tool has been inserted small-diameter tip end first, to a
level where the larger diameter portion of the rotary body
joining tool overlaps the thickened part but does not extend
below the upper surface of the non-thickened surfaces of the
members joined, the rotary body is rotated and moved along the
joining region. Even when a gap exists between two thickened
parts, a desirable joining can be carried out. After the
joining, the remaining parts of the thickened parts can be
machined so as to form a smooth surface.

Abstract: A method for communicating with automatic meter reading (AMR) endpoints in adjacent
cells, when the endpoints are arranged in a cell pattern similar to a cellular telephone system, is
disclosed that substantially reduces the likelihood of signal interference. A Frame ID is
identified as corresponding to a particular receive frequency that a system reader
(receiver/collector) uses when listening for endpoint responses. In this example embodiment of
the AMR network model, all endpoints in the network listen on the same control frequency to
receive commands sent out from the readers. To allow for a relatively fast network read cycle,
cells that are spaced far enough away from each other as to not interfere with each other are
allowed to transmit at the same time. Cells with the same Frame ID are configured to be spaced a
safe distance from each other so as not to interfere with each other's endpoint population.

Abstract: When an accelerator pedal is released, or when a brake
pedal is depressed and if braking force is lower than a reference
braking force corresponding to a braking force immediately before
causing a wheel lock, differential limiting force of a center
differential is set to a predetermined value so as to retain an
under-steer condition while engine brake is applied. When the
brake pedal is depressed and if braking force is higher than the
reference braking force, differential limiting force of the
center differential is set to zero so as to assist an anti-lock
brake system. Further, the reference braking force can be
determined according to a road friction coefficient, a grade of
road, a lateral acceleration and the like. Further, the
predetermined value of the differential limiting force may be
a constant value or may be a value corresponding to a front-to-rear
weight distribution ratio.
