Patent EP-1040976-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAHASHI MITSUGU
IPC: B60T13/56
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: In a vacuum type brake booster apparatus, the response
in an initial stage of operating brakes is made sluggish so as
to improve the brake feeling in a normal operation area, while
the response is improved at the time of panic braking when the
brake pedal is largely depressed to thereby reduce a stopping
distance at the time of braking. A throttling mechanism (10) is
constituted by a position variable piston (11) fixed to an operating
rod (1) of a brake booster of a vacuum type and a circumferential
wall portion (13) surrounding the position variable piston with a
certain gap (14) being formed therebetween. The gap thus formed
constitutes an atmospheric pressure inlet passage into a variable
pressure chamber (5), and the size of the gap is constructed so as
to be varied when the position of the position variable piston
is changed relative to the circumferential wall portion through
an axial actuation of the operating rod, whereby the incoming
volume per unit time of the atmospheric pressure into the variable
pressure chamber is constructed to be varied in response to the
brake pedal depression stroke in such a manner that the incoming
volume remains small in the initial stage of operating the brake
pedal while it increases as the brake pedal depression stroke
increases.

Abstract: The present invention accordingly provides a device
or apparatus for manipulating matter in a confined or
inaccessible space, comprising manipulator means at
least partly constructed of one or more bent or twisted
elongate shape memory alloy members (14) having
pseudoelasticity at the intended manipulation
temperature, and a hollow housing (10) (preferably of
elongate tubular form) or cannula capable of holding at
least the shape memory alloy member(s in a relatively
straightened state, and actuating means (20, 22) for
extending the shape memory alloy member(s) from the
housing (10) to manipulate matter within the said space
and for withdrawing the shape memory allowy member(s)
into the housing, the arrangement being such that the
shape-memory alloy member(s) 14 bend(s) or twist(s)
pseudoelastically in a lateral or helical sense to
manipulate the matter on extending from the housing at
the said manipulation temperature, and become(s)
relatively straightened on withdrawal into the housing
at the said temperature. Preferably the invention
provides such a device or apparatus which is of elongate
form for surgical manipulation of matter within a living
body, and which has the manipulator means at its distal
end with the shape memory alloy member(s) having
pseudoelasticity at the temperature to be encountered
within that body, and wherein the actuating means is
operable from the proximal end of the device.

Abstract: A methodology and an algorithm for programming a quantum logic
algorithm is described. The quantum logic program can be run on a quantum computer.
The algorithm can also be run on a non-quantum computer by using the non-quantum
computer to simulate a quantum computer. This allows the concepts, features, and
principles of quantum computing, such as superposition, entanglement, quantum
interference, and the like (and the massive parallelism enabled by these principles) to be
used to advantage in non-quantum computers without the need to develop quantum
computer hardware. In one embodiment, a quantum search algorithm is used to
improve a genetic optimizer.

Abstract: The invention provides a tilted angle measuring
apparatus for measuring reliably a tilted angle () with
a simple configuration, a laser marker and a dot mark
reading apparatus provided with the tilted angle measuring
apparatus. The tilted angle measuring apparatus is
particularly preferable for measuring a tilted angle ()
on a tilted flat area in a minute area. While moving a
detecting surface (12b, 13b) on an orthogonal coordinate
system and a bending coordinate system, a light beam with
a required cross sectional area to the detecting surface
(12b, 13b), the irradiated light beam is received as a
reflection and the received light amount is measured. If
the measured light amount exceeds a predetermined light
amount to reach the maximum value, a corresponding area is
detected to be a flat surface. When one of a light
emitter (105a) and a light receiver (105b) is immovably
secured and other one has an unchanged irradiating area
but a changed incident angle (γ), the received light
amount received by the light receiver (105b) is changed. 
By using a principle of the light amount variation, a
tilted angle () of the measuring surface (12b, 13b) with
respect to a standard surface is measured via a
calculating means.

Abstract: The present invention includes a number of systems and techniques for service
control for a broadband communications system that includes voice, data and multimedia
audio and video communication. One variation of the present invention includes service
control based on multiple relationships between equipment specific unique media access
control (MAC) addresses, system addresses and directory numbers to enable the properly
route traffic between the broadband communication system and legacy telephone systems.
In this case, one server, for example a dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) server is
used to assign system addresses to equipment unique MAC addresses and another server,
for example a call manager (CM) server is used to assign directory numbers to the system
addresses. Another variation of the present invention includes service control based on
multiple relationships between equipment specific unique media access control (MAC)
addresses and directory numbers (DNs) to enable the properly route traffic between the
broadband communication system and legacy telephone systems. In this case the DHCP
server is not needed to assign system addresses to MAC addresses.
