Patent EP-1079095-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAMBERT MALCOLM DAVID DICK
IPC: F02M55/04
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: A fuel injector comprising a valve needle (10) which is slidable within a bore
(12) and engageable with a seating to control fuel delivery through first and
second outlet openings. The valve needle (10) is moveable between a closed
position and first and second fuel injecting positions. The fuel injector further
comprises a fuel supply passage (18) for supplying fuel under pressure to the
bore (12) and a control chamber (38, 40) which is arranged to receive fuel
from the fuel passage (18), in use. The valve needle (10) is acted upon in use
by a force due to fuel pressure within the control chamber (38, 40). An
actuator arrangement (46, 48) controls fuel pressure within the control
chamber (38, 40), and damping means (42; 42 a , 42 b , 42 c ) are provided for
damping movement of the valve needle (10) away from the seating into the
first or second fuel injecting position. The supply passage (18) for fuel may
be provided with a restricted flow passage (18 a ) which serves to limit the
amplitude of pressure waves within the supply passage (18).

Abstract: An echo canceling system (100) with self deactivation includes an echo
canceller (140) based on an adaptive filter (152), and an echo detector (160). The
adaptive filter (152) determines an estimate of an echo signal present in an untreated
signal received from a "near" end of a communications channel. In order to produce an
echo-canceled received signal, the echo canceller (140) subtracts the estimated echo
from the untreated received signal. The echo detector (160) compares the energy of the
untreated received signal and the energy of the echo-canceled received signal. The
difference represents the energy in the estimated echo signal generated by the adaptive
filter. If this energy is large, significant echo is present. The echo canceller remains
activated, and the echo detector selects the echo-canceled received signal for output. If
the estimated echo energy is small, little or no cancelable echo is present. The echo
canceller is deactivated, and the echo detector selects the untreated received signal for
output. Where plural channels of echo cancellation are provided, the deactivated echo
canceller may be reallocated to service another communications channel.

Abstract: An approach is provided for identifying black and
white pages in a color document stream. This approach may
be utilized in digital printing systems. This approach
examines a small portion of the color data for a page to
identify whether the color data is indicative of the page
being a black and white page or a full color page. This
approach also examines the relative sizes of compressed
color separations for the pages. Pages that are determined
to be black and white pages may be printed in a black and
white mode, whereas full color pages may be printed in a
full color page mode.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a candidate list of
alternatives for a text selection containing text from multiple input sources,
each of which can be stochastic (such as a speech recognition unit, handwriting
recognition unit, or input method editor) or non-stochastic (such as a keyboard
and mouse). A text component of the text selection may be the result of data
processed through a series of stochastic input sources, such as speech input that
is converted to text by a speech recognition unit before being used as input into
an input method editor. To determine alternatives for the text selection, a
stochastic input combiner parses the text selection into text components from
different input sources. For each stochastic text component, the combiner
retrieves a stochastic model containing alternatives for the text component. If
the stochastic text component is the result of a series of stochastic input sources,
the combiner derives a stochastic model that accurately reflects the probabilities
of the results of the entire series. The combiner creates a list of alternatives for
the text selection by combining the stochastic models retrieved. The combiner
may revise the list of alternatives by applying natural language principles to the
text selection as a whole. The list of alternatives for the text selection is then
presented to the user. If the user chooses one of the alternatives, then the word
processor replaces the text selection with the chosen candidate.

capillary phenomenon, but only blood plasma or blood serum moves into the
development portion (12) to develop.

Abstract: An anti-lock braking system includes a friction torque
gradient estimating unit for estimating, from a small number
of parameters, the gradient of friction torque with respect
to a slip speed, and controls a braking force acting on
wheels on the basis of the friction torque gradient estimated
by the friction torque gradient estimating unit. The
friction torque gradient estimating unit may employ several
types of estimating methods; e.g., a method of estimating the
gradient of friction torque from only time-series data
concerning a wheel speed; a method of estimating the friction
torque gradient from time-series data concerning wheel
deceleration as well as from braking torque or time-series
data concerning physical quantities associated with the
braking torque; or a method of estimating the friction torque
gradient from micro-gains which are obtained when brake
pressure is excited in a very small amount at the resonance
frequency of a vibration system comprising a vehicle, wheels,
and a road surface and which represent the characteristics of
the vibration system. Further, there is also disclosed a
method of determining, from the thus-estimated friction
torque gradient, the limit of the characteristics of friction
torque developed between the wheels and the road surface.

Abstract: The predicted value of a window characteristic during closure is divided into a plurality
of discrete segments. The actual system response during a closure without obstruction is
then read for each of said discrete segments. A correction value to move away from the
predicted value is then set for each of the discrete segments. The correction value is
stored in digital form, and utilized to modify the predicted value. The present invention
thus fine tunes the predicted value to account to the individual response of the particular
system. In this way, the number of false or delayed obstruction readings are reduced
compared to the prior art.

Abstract: A reflector stack or acoustic mirror arrangement for an acoustic device is described
which may attain the highest possible impedance mismatch between alternating higher and
lower impedance reflecting layers of the stack, so as to maximize bandwidth. The
arrangement may also reduce manufacturing costs by requiring fewer layers for the device,
as compared to conventional acoustic mirrors. The thinner reflecting stack is accordingly
fabricated in reduced time to lower cost, by incorporating materials providing a larger
acoustic impedance mismatch than those currently obtainable. The bandwidth of the
resulting acoustic resonator device may be widened, particularly when a low density
material such as aerogel, CVD SiO 2  and/or sputter deposited SiO 2  is applied as topmost
layer in the reflector stack/acoustic mirror arrangement of the device.
