Abstract: An active magnetic regenerator refrigeration apparatus includes one or more reciprocating regenerator beds and a heat transfer fluid distribution valve that is activated as the bed is moved between a position in which it is in the magnetic field of a magnet to a position in which it is outside the magnetic field of the magnet. The distribution valve has a first valve member and a moving second valve member slidingly engaged to each other, each of which has ports by which heat transfer fluid may be provided to and received from the valve member. The bed is mounted to the moving second valve member so that heat transfer fluid is conveyed to and through the valve in a single direction into the regenerator bed. The material of the bed exhibits the magnetocaloric effect and the temperature of the bed rises when it enters the magnetic field of the magnet and decreases when it exits the magnetic field, providing a refrigeration cycle. The direction of fluid flow to, from and through the distribution valve remains the same in both positions of the bed or beds, with the distribution valve serving to switch the direction of the fluid flow through the bed in the unmagnetized and magnetized positions of the bed, so that there is essentially no dead volume of heat transfer fluid.

Abstract: A computing system architecture that implements a new computational paradigm employing corobs, data processing constructs that represent points in generalized sub-spaces of particular spaces, as the primary data tokens for representing and manipulating information, thereby taking advantage of the unique mathematical and computational properties of corobs, is herein described. An architectural construct, suitable for containing the data of a corob for further use, is described. An architectural construct, called a 'corob memory', suitable for use as a memory system in which corobs in a space are associated with arbitrary, but specific, data objects so that each data object can be equivalenced to, and represented by, a corob, is described. An architectural construct, called a 'corob cell', is described whose function is to map input corobs to output state values in a manner consistent with corobs and associated state values previously stored in a corob memory in that cell. An architectural construct, called a 'corob computing system', is described wherein corob cells are combined into a programmable computing architecture wherein any cell can receive input from any other in the manner of a cross-bar switch, and if desired, input may be obtained through cells designated as sensor cells, and output may be produced through cells designated as actor cells.

Abstract: A first exhaust gas sensor 5 (air-fuel ratio
sensor) and a second exhaust gas sensor 6 (O 2  sensor) are
disposed respectively upstream and downstream of a catalytic
converter3. An exhaust system E which ranges from
the exhaust gas sensor 5 to the exhaust gas sensor 6 and
includes the catalytic converter 3 is regarded as an object
exhaust system E, and a behavior of the object exhaust system
E is modeled. When an internal combustion engine 1 is
in operation, parameters to be set of the model of the object
exhaust system E are sequentially identified based on
the data of outputs of the exhaust gas sensors 5, 6. A deteriorated
state of the catalytic converter 3 is determined
based on the data of the identified values. Concurrent
with the determination of the deteriorated state, a target
air-fuel ratio for the internal combustion engine 1 is sequentially
determined in order to converge the output of
the exhaust gas sensor 5 to a given target value, and the
air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine 1 is controlled
to converge the output (the detected value of the
air-fuel ratio) of the first exhaust gas sensor 5 to the
target air-fuel ratio, for thereby allowing the catalytic
converter 3 to achieve an optimum purifying capability. In
this manner, the deteriorated state of the catalytic converter
3 can be determined in various operation states of 
the internal combustion engine 1 while keeping the purifying
capability of the catalytic converter 3.

Title: High power laterally antiguided semiconductor light source with reduced transverse optical confinement
Inventor: BOTEZ DAN
IPC: H01S5/32
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: A semiconductor structure for use as a laser or amplifier has a multilayer structure including a substrate, an active region, optical confinement and cladding layers on each side of the active region to surround the active region. The structure includes at least one core element at which light emission occurs and interelement regions laterally adjacent to the core element with the effective refractive index of the interelement regions higher than that of the core element to provide antiguiding of light emitted in the core element. The optical confinement and cladding layers on opposite sides of the active region have different indexes of refraction to provide an optical waveguiding structure in the transverse direction in the core element which is asymmetrical and which favors lasing only in the fundamental transverse mode. The structure allows larger core elements to be utilized than otherwise possible and results in a significantly increased light emission spot size enabling much higher emission power levels for lasers and higher saturation power levels for amplifiers.
