Patent EP-1184568-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLLINGBORN PETER ALBAN GEORGE
IPC: F04B1/04
Filed: 2001-08-31
Abstract: A fuel pump comprising a plurality of radially spaced pumping arrangements
(10a, 10b, 10c), each of which includes a pumping plunger (20a, 20b, 20c)
which is reciprocable within a plunger bore (19a, 19b, 19c) formed in a pump
housing (18) under the influence of a respective driven tappet member (24a,
24b, 24c) which acts to transmit a force to the pumping plunger (20a, 20b,
20c) during a forward stroke thereof. The plunger bore (19a, 19b, 19c)
defines a pumping chamber (22a, 22b, 22c) within which pressurisation of
fuel to a relatively high level occurs upon reciprocal movement of the
pumping plunger within the plunger bore. An end region of the tappet
member (24a, 24b, 24c) is provided with a further bore (70a, 70b, 70c), a
surface associated with the end region of the tappet member (24a, 24b, 24c)
defining, in part, an annular auxiliary pumping chamber (40a, 40b, 40c) for
fuel, the further bore (70a, 70b, 70c) defining a working chamber (51a, 51b,
51c) arranged to receive fuel to generate a force on the tappet member (24a,
24b, 24c) which acts in a return direction so as to increase the volume of the
pumping chamber (22a, 22b, 22c) during a return stroke of the pumping
plunger. The fuel pump further comprises a transfer pressure flow path (43)
providing communication between the auxiliary pumping chamber (40a, 40b,
40c) of a first pumping arrangement (10a) and the pumping chamber (22b,
22c) of at least one of the other pumping arrangements (10a, 10b) such that
fuel displaced from the auxiliary pumping chamber (40a, 40b, 40c), in use,
can be supplied through the transfer pressure flow path (43) to said at least
one of the other pumping chambers (22b, 22c). The auxiliary pumping
chambers (40a, 40b, 40c) and the transfer pressure flow path (43) are 
constructed and adapted to ensure fuel flows through the transfer pressure
flow path (43) at a substantially constant flow rate for a given speed of
rotation of the pump.

IPC: H04N19/56

Abstract: An automatic sprite generation system uses first-order prediction for initial estimation, delayed elimination for outlier rejection, and field-based sprite generation for an interlaced source. Higher-order prediction for the initial estimation may be used to handle more complicated motion. The invention addresses outlier and fast motion problems that are not handled by the existing MPEG-4 scheme. Automatic sprite generation is provided by performing shot detection (e.g., panning or zooming) on the input images to provide a group of successive images that share a common scene for use in forming a sprite. The initial estimation of motion parameter data for forming the sprite uses the motion parameter data of at least two previous input images. Delayed outlier rejection is performed in two steps by eliminating pixels whose error increases in successive sprite iterations. For interlaced input images, a sprite and set of motion parameters are encoded and transmitted for each field separately.

Abstract: A system and method for activating a subscriber identification module (SIM) based mobile device in a PCS/ANSI type wireless network. The method comprises pre-programming the SIM card of the mobile device with temporary activation identifiers, such as an international mobile station identity (IMSI) and/or a mobile identification number (MIN), and a temporary electronic serial number. The temporary electronic serial number, rather than the mobile device actual electronic serial number, is used to identify the mobile device during registration and activation. The network identifies the temporary electronic serial number associated with the SIM vendor and invokes an over-the-air activation procedure especially for the SIM card mobile devices. A SIM-over-the-air-activation processor is notified to perform the activation for that mobile device on the PCS wireless network. Authentication of the mobile device may be bypassed and the mobile device is instructed to transmit its actual electronic serial number for future registrations. Once the activation process is completed, the temporary activation identifiers are overwritten.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a stent provides a folded strut section that
provides both structural rigidity and reduction in foreshortening of the stent
mechanism. A flexible section provides flexibility for delivery of the stent
mechanism. In a second embodiment, flexible section columns are angled
with respect to each other, and to the longitudinal axis of the stent. These
relatively flexible sections are oppositely phased in order to negate any
torsion along their length. In yet another embodiment, the flexible connector
can take on an undulating shape (like an "N"), but such that the longitudinal
axis of the connector is not parallel with the longitudinal axis of the stent.
Finally, a new method is disclosed for making stents. The method consists of
performing a standard photochemical machining process of cutting, cleaning
and coating the tube with a photoresist. However, unlike former methods, the
photoresist image is developed on the surface of the cylindrical metallic tube,
which results in a controlled variable etching rate at selected sites on the
cylindrical metallic tube during the etching process. Further embodiments
provide living hinge connectors and connections along the length of the radial
strut member.
