Abstract: At the time of cranking an internal combustion engine (10),
an engine cranking-caused vibration suppressing apparatus and
method controls the operation of an electric motor (60) that
cranks the internal combustion engine (10) based on the
rotational phase of the crankshaft detected by a crankshaft
rotational phase detection means (90) so that the output torque
(Tmg) of the motor (60) fluctuates similarly to fluctuations
in resistance torque (Tr) against the cranking of the engine
that the crankshaft presents in accordance with the rotational
phase thereof. Thus, the apparatus and method are able to
suppress vibrations during the cranking of the engine (10),
leading to improvements in the riding comfort and the noise
suppression of a vehicle.

Abstract: A method for detecting synchronization loss of the trellis
minimum path metric in V.34 modem communications. The invention
detects synchronization loss due to bit inversions in trellis
decoding in transmitted digital frames due to a periodic
inversion pattern that is used for superframe synchronization.
The method provides synchronization loss detection by finding the
ratio of moving averages for a series of data blocks to the
average of a series of inverted 4D symbols located periodically
in the beginning and center of received data frames.

Abstract: For use in a video processing system that is capable of processing a video stream using a chain of video processing algorithms, there is disclosed a system and method for optimally configuring control parameter settings of each video processing algorithm within the chain of video processing algorithms in order to provide a high quality video image. The video processing system of the present invention comprises a chain of video processing algorithms, an optimization unit, and an objective quality metric unit. An output video stream from the chain of video processing units is fed back to the objective quality metric unit. The objective quality metric unit calculates a fitness value and provides the fitness value to the optimization unit. The optimization unit uses the fitness value to configure the control parameter settings for the video processing algorithms. In one advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the optimization unit uses a genetic algorithm in the optimization process. The video processing system iteratively converges toward control parameter configurations that produce a very high quality video image.

Abstract: Wavelength interleaving cross-connects pass a first optical signal including a first set
of optical frequencies in a first direction and a second optical signal including a
second set of optical frequencies in a second direction. In one embodiment, the first
optical signal, when input to a first input/output (I/O) port, is routed from the first I/O
port to a third I/O port. The first optical signal, when input to a fourth I/O port, is
routed from the fourth port to a second I/O port. The second optical signal, when
input to the second I/O port, is routed from the second I/O port to the third I/O port.
The second optical signal, when input to the fourth I/O port, is routed from the fourth
I/O port to the first I/O port. Thus, by coupling an optical device (e.g., amplifier,
filter) between the third port and the fourth port, the optical device can be used for bidirectional
communications thereby reducing the number of devices required for a bidirectional
optical network architecture.

Abstract: An acceleration and deceleration control in which, for a
relation between speed and acceleration, the low speed part
need not be symmetrical with the high speed part, and is performd
such that an actual acceleration curve may lie along a
restricted acceleration curve as much as possible. A curve

Abstract: By limiting the ranges of the numerical values of a plurality of
structural parameters of a dispersion compensating optical fiber which
is endowed with a segmented W-shaped refractive index profile, and by
suitably combining these structural parameters, it is possible to obtain a
dispersion compensating optical fiber which can compensate both for
chromatic dispersion and also for dispersion slope of a single mode
optical fiber for transmission over a wide wavelength band which is
selected from the range from 1.53 µm to 1.63 µm, and for which the
value of Aeff is large, and moreover the absolute value of chromatic
dispersion is large. As a result desirable transmission characteristics are
obtained by being able to suppress the occurrence of nonlinearity
effects, and furthermore, since the length which is required is short, the
cost is low, and it is possible to produce a module which is small in size.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant à un dispositif de communication bidirectionnel tel qu'un modem de faciliter la communication locale entre le modem et un PC qui lui est rattaché et à un PC d'établir une communication Internet et une communication locale simultanément. Ce système de communication bidirectionnel utilise un procédé destiné à communiquer en continu des données paquétisées entre différents réseaux à l'aide de couches hiérarchisées de protocoles de communication (y compris les couches de protocole Internet (IP) et Media Access Control (MAC), par exemple). Le procédé consiste à comparer l'adresse de destination d'un paquet IP reçu dans une première couche de protocole à une adresse IP prédéterminée afin de déterminer si les adresses correspondent. Dans la positive, une charge utile du paquet IP reçu est réacheminée depuis un réseau Internet vers un réseau local (réseau Ethernet, HPNA, ou USB, par exemple) par substitution d'une seconde adresse de couche de protocole par une seconde adresse de couche de protocole reçue (une adresse MAC, par exemple). Dans une autre caractéristique, une seconde application (contrôle de périphérique, par exemple) est lancée pour fonctionner simultanément avec la première application (surfer sur le Web, par exemple) en réponse à la réception des données de charge utile réacheminées.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé ainsi que des circuits destinés à la mise en oeuvre d'un circuit d'autovérification incorporé (BIST) aux fins de détermination des caractéristiques de fréquence de circuits de filtre, dans des circuits intégrés à signal mélangé. Ce procédé consiste à insérer un circuit en cours de vérification dans la boucle de rétroaction, laquelle ressemble à une boucle de modulation sigma delta, et à régler cette boucle de façon qu'elle oscille à la fréquence de coupure du filtre. La fréquence d'oscillation peut être facilement mesurée à l'aide, soit d'un compteur monté sur puce, soit d'un matériel de vérification automatique et numérique. De préférence, la boucle de rétroaction comprend un comparateur, un composant de retard de phase, tel qu'une ligne de retard, ainsi qu'un numériseur 1 bit, le comparateur étant connecté à la sortie du circuit en cours de vérification et la sortie du numériseur étant connectée à l'entrée du circuit en cours de vérification. Le retard de phase de la boucle de rétroaction peut être accordé par réglage de la ligne de retard (par exemple un registre de décalage de n longueurs) jusqu'à l'obtention d'une fréquence d'oscillation. Dans le cas de circuits de filtres passe-bas, la fréquence accordée d'oscillation correspond à la fréquence de coupure du circuit en cours de vérification.

Abstract: A free-state diameter (a diameter in a state in which a

rings in a continuously variable transmission) is determined
so that a predetermined compression stress and a predetermined
tensile stress are applied to outer and inner surfaces of the
metal ring in an endless state in which the metal ring is not

in the free state, and the free-state diameter (Ro) is then measured.
Thus, the free-state diameter of the metal ring in a
