Abstract: A braking system comprises:
   at least one brake actuator for effecting a braking torque on a wheel of a vehicle; and a
plurality of brake controllers for providing drive control signals to the at least one brake
actuator in response to an input brake command signal to effect the braking torque. The

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing heat-resistant
high chromium ferritic/martensitic steel, in detail, a
method of producing the heat-resistant high chromium
ferritic/martensitic steel, which includes melting, hot
working, and heat treatment processes. In this regard, the
heat treatment process includes a normalizing step at 1030
- 1100°C (first process), a first tempering step at 620 -
720°C (second process), and a second tempering step at 730
- 780°C (third process). In the heat-resistant high
chromium ferritic/martensitic steel, chromium carbonitride
with a size of tens of nanometers is distributed to greatly
stabilize the structure of the martensite lath, thereby
enabling the heat-resistant high chromium
ferritic/martensitic steel to have superior impact
properties and creep rupture strength. The heat-resistant
high chromium ferritic/martensitic steel is usefully
applied to nuclear fuel claddings, heat transfer tubes, and
pipes of nuclear power plants, and pipes, tubes, turbines
and the like for the boilers of fossil power plants, which
must have superior creep rupture strength and impact
properties at a high temperature of about 600°C.

Abstract: A curve is created in a computer-aided design system, based on a set of points
inputted by the user. A polyline is computed and the curvature envelope along said
polyline is computed to determine particular points (A 0 , A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 ) on
thepolyline, which are extrema of curvature. Segmenting points (M 0,1 , M 1,2 , M 2,3 ,
M 3,4 , M 4,5 ) are selected between pairs of particular points. A curve passing through
the particular segmenting points is computed and is fitted to thepolyline. 
     The process provides a curve that is well fitted to the set of points and does not
require high skills from the user.

Abstract: In video encoding, the video frames are spatio-temporally filtered
for reduction of spatial and temporal redundancy before they are entropy
encoded. Known filtering schemes consider temporally successive frames
and are static. It is probable but not necessary that successive frames
are most efficient to encode. Therefore, a plurality or all possible
frame order permutations are considered for a group of frames (GOP) and
evaluated based on a global criterion, which is the sum of local
criterion values computed over disjoint sets of successive frames considered in
the new order. The local criterion value is deduced from motion
estimation processed on each considered set of frames. The best ordering
is chosen as the one that minimizes the global criterion value.

Abstract: In a gas-supply system for internal-combustion
engines, a pressure-reducing valve (7) is set between
the reservoir (3) of the gas and a distribution
manifold or rail (2) that feeds the gas to a series of
electromagnetically controlled injectors (1) associated
to the various cylinders of the engine. The pressure-reducing
valve (7) brings about a pressure drop which
depends upon a pilot-pressure signal that is sent
thereto by a pilot solenoid valve (83). The electrical
supply to the solenoid (99) of said pilot solenoid
valve is controlled by an electronic control unit (C)
according to the signal issued by a sensor (8) of the
pressure in the rail (2) for the purpose of regulating
the pressure in the rail (2) at a desired level,
according to the operating conditions of the engine.

Abstract: A discrimination medium 10a includes a first double layered body 101 having a right-handed circular polarization polymer cholesteric liquid crystal layer 11 and a left-handed circular polarization polymer cholesteric liquid crystal layer 12 which are stacked. The right-handed circular polarization polymer cholesteric liquid crystal layer 11 reflects a specific right-handed circular polarization light, and the left-handed circular polarization polymer cholesteric liquid crystal layer 12 reflects a specific left-handed circular polarization light. The discrimination medium 10a is applied to the article 30, and is viewed via a simple determination tool 20 having a filter 21 allowing only right-handed circular polarization light to pass therethough and a filter 22 allowing only left-handed circular polarization light to pass therethough. As a result, the color of the right-handed circular polarization polymer cholesteric liquid crystal layer 11 is seen via the right-handed circular polarization light filter 21, and the color of the left-handed circular polarization polymer cholesteric liquid crystal layer 12 is seen via the right-handed circular polarization light filter 22. This unique phenomenon by the discrimination medium 10a which cannot be copied in general is confirmed, so that the authenticity of the article 30 can be determined easily and reliably.

Abstract: The technology relates to detecting the wiring phase of an unknown phase voltage relative to a reference phase voltage in an electric power distribution system having a polyphase power line. In order to reliably detect the wiring phase at the remote location relative to a reference wiring phase even if the remote location is at a larger distance from the reference location, at least one relay location is arranged between the reference location and the remote location and connected to the wiring phase of the polyphase power line. A first phase relation is detected between the reference wiring phase voltage at the reference location and the wiring phase voltage at the relay location. A second phase relation is detected between the wiring phase voltage at the relay location and the wiring phase voltage at the remote location. The wiring phase of the remote location relative to the wiring phase at the reference location is detected based on the first phase relation and the second phase relation. The technology is advantageous in that a direct communication channel between the remote location and the reference location for detecting the phase relation is not required.
