IPC: H02J9/06

Abstract: A local power generation system generates a substantially DC inverter
input voltage, which is modulated to generate a resulting output AC power signal
to a load. The inverter input voltage may be obtained from an engine generator,
providing an AC power signal that is rectified, or from a fuel cell generator
providing a DC voltage converted to the desired voltage value at the inverter
input. An energy storage device helps maintain the DC voltage when load power
increases, until the engine (or fuel cell reaction) accelerates enough to
accommodate the increased demand. In an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
application, the load draws power from a utility-provided AC power source until
a fault occurs. When the fault occurs, the load switches its draw to the inverter
output. The energy storage device helps maintain the DC voltage at the inverter
input until the generator (engine or fuel cell) starts and accelerates to a level
sufficient provide the DC voltage. The system may also include switching
devices for providing uninterruptible power to a critical load, while permitting a
noncritical load to be subjected to a fault-condition for a short period of time,
before switching to receive power from the inverter output.

Abstract: A crank sensor (15) outputs a crank signal including an angle indicating part and a reference position indicating part. A cam sensor (25) outputs a cam signal including an angle indicating part and a reference position indicating part. A microcomputer (31) executes a cylinder determining processing using the crank signal alone, and also executes a cylinder determining processing using the cam signal alone. In addition, the microcomputer (31) detects abnormality of the crank signal and the cam signal. The cylinder determining processing using the crank signal alone is prohibited when both the crank signal and the cam signal become abnormal while operating the engine. Then, the prohibition of the cylinder determining processing is withdrawn on the condition that the cam signal is recovered to normal.

Abstract: A systems and method for printer calibration creates linearization tables by receiving
optical density related measurements for a primary ink in a group of one or more print heads
printing with the primary ink, selecting from the group of print heads at least two print heads
that deliver a range of optical densities when printing with the one or more primary ink,
generating prebuilt linearization tables corresponding to the at least two print heads that
compensate for different ink drop weights printed by the at least two print heads, and
providing the prebuilt linearization tables and at least a portion of the optical density related
measurements to a calibration routine that interpolates the prebuilt linearization tables to
create an actual linearization table for the primary ink printed by a print head. The prebuilt
linearization tables and measurements related to optical density calibrate a primary ink
printed by a print head, by receiving two or more prebuilt linearization tables for a
corresponding two or more print heads that compensate for different ink drop weights printed
by the two or more print heads, determining a measurement related to optical density when
the print head prints the primary ink at a selected gray level, comparing the measurement
related to optical density produced by the print head with measurements related to optical
density when the two or more print heads print the primary ink at the selected gray level, and
estimating the linearization table for the primary ink based upon the prebuilt linearization
tables for the two or more print heads and the comparison of the measurement related to
optical density of the print head and the two or more print heads.

Abstract: In a gaming machine provided with a function called
"super time (ST)," which may change the amount of payout
coins, a player moves his sight from a displayed stopping
order to a displayed reel during such Super Time (ST)
game. In order to prevent fatigue by the sight movement,
an image display device is provided with a transparent
liquid crystal for image attractions and a liquid crystal
film for an electronic shutter. They are laminated and
disposed in front of the main reel. The electronic
shutter can shield an area partially with a software in
reference to a gaming status. For example, the electronic
shutter does not shield the area and an image attraction
is executed since the player may not make an observation
push. For the image attraction after the complete reel
stop, the electronic shutter shields the area so as to
show a clear attraction image.

Abstract: A distal component (24) for a wrist prosthesis includes an ovoid fixation plate (38) having three
holes (52,54,56) and a boss. The three holes (52,54,56) allow attachment of stems (42) and/or screws distally for
fixation in the carpus. The boss projects proximally from the plate, and serves as an
attachment point for the articulating head (32). Modularity of the fixation and articulating
components allow a surgeon many options for optimizing fixation distally, and articulation
proximally. The proximal head of the distal component is designed to articulate with
existing radial components. Since the proximal head of the distal component (24) is modular,
however, the head can be redesigned to accommodate later design changes in proximal
components.

Abstract: An apparatus and method control a negative pressure in an internal
combustion engine (10) equipped with a brake booster (18) that uses a negative
pressure produced on a downstream side of a throttle valve (36) provided in an intake
passage (34) of the engine, as a power source for amplifying the pedal pressing force.
A controller (12) of the apparatus or method determines whether a negative pressure
applied to the brake booster has reached a predetermined level when the internal
combustion engine is started, and, if the negative pressure has not reached the
predetermined level, increases an operating speed of the engine to a predetermined
high speed and then keeps the throttle valve in a small opening state in which an
opening amount of the throttle valve is smaller than that established when the internal
combustion engine is in a fast idle state, during a period of time in which the engine
proceeds to a steady-state operating mode.

A carrier wafer is attached to the top side of the substrate. The thickness of the substrate is reduced using any known technique. The fabrication process is continued by performing various process steps from the back side of the substrate. Alternatively, a process of fabricating a plurality of devices containing MEMS membranes may begin with attaching a carrier wafer to a top side of a substrate carrying the plurality of devices. The thickness of the substrate is reduced. Process steps are then performed from the back side of the substrate. A carrier wafer is attached to the back side of the substrate and the carrier wafer on the top side of the substrate is removed. Thereafter, process steps are performed from the top side of the substrate.
