Patent EP-0879955-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAJIMA YUKI
IPC: F02B17/00
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: What is disclosed is a vehicle engine control system
responsive to a change between a first request for
homogeneous charge combustion and a second request for
stratified charge combustion. A spark-ignition cylinder-injection
internal combustion engine has cylinders, each
performing an intake phase, a compression phase, a power
phase, and an exhaust phase. The cylinders each, when
rendered operable in a first mode, experience first fuel
injection at a first fuel injection timing during intake phase
thereof and first spark ignition at a first ignition timing to
initiate homogeneous charge combustion. The cylinders each,
when rendered operable in a second mode, experiences
second fuel injection at a second fuel injection timing during
compression phase and second spark ignition at a second
ignition timing to initiate stratified charge combustion. A fuel
injection manager is operable to set one of the first fuel
injection and second fuel injection for the cylinders in a
predetermined sequential order in response to one of the first
and second request. A spark ignition manager is operable to
set one of the first spark ignition and second spark ignition for
the cylinders in the predetermined sequential order in
response to one of the first fuel injection and the second fuel
injection that has been set to each of the cylinders.

Abstract: The tool (24) is moved along a tool positioning path by a driver (20) acted on by relative movement of two masses (4, 6) to machine the workpiece (2). A spring (42) acts to return the tool to its initial position when the force exerted on the tool by the relative rotation of the masses is smaller than the spring force. Tool movement along an arc is produced by rotation about a pivot axis (30) positioned eccentrically in relation to the axis of rotation (8) of the masses.

Abstract: A process for oxygen-enriching a first feed gas
stream be fed into a furnace by utilizing an
oxygen-enriched gas stream from a second feed gas
stream, wherein the first feed gas stream is compressed
and then heated prior to injection into the furnace.
The second feed gas stream is separated using an ion
transport module containing an ion transport membrane
having a retentate side and a permeate side to produce
an oxygen-depleted gas stream on the retentate side and
the pure oxygen gas stream or the oxygen-enriched gas
stream on the permeate side. The pure oxygen gas
stream or the oxygen-enriched gas stream is added to
the first feed gas stream at any location before the
first feed gas stream enters the furnace.

Abstract: In an optical disk, data are recorded by using a
hierarchical file structure in which a frame (F n ) is composed of
digitized data, a packet (P m ) is composed of at least one frame, and a
pack is composed of at least one packet. In this structure, the
pack is composed of an integral number of packets (P m ), each packet
being completed, and each of the packets is composed of an
integral number of frames (F n ), each frame being completed. Therefore,
there is no possibility that one frame is assigned over two or
more different packets and one packet is assigned over two or
more different packs. Since an integral number of frames are
assigned in each packet, when a packet header (11) is detected,
reproduction of data can be carried out from the beginning of
each packet.

Abstract: A filter reduces artifacts, such as grid noise and staircase noise, in
block-coded digital images with image block boundaries. The type of filtering is
determined after an estimation of the image global metrics and local metrics. For
areas of the image near grid noise, the filter performs low pass filtering. For image
fine details, such as edges and texture, no filtering is performed so that masking is
avoided. The filter operates in intra-field mode and uses a fuzzy logic process, pixel
deltas, and dual ramp generators to determine the horizontal and vertical length of a
processing window surrounding an image block boundary.
