Patent EP-1475712-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CHANDLEY ADRIAN M
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: Notifications to computer users are provided via indicators such as lights. The indicators are controlled according to rules, to convey computer-related state information to users in a consistent manner. Locations of visible indicators are chosen to facilitate easy viewing. The rules dictate colors and/or illumination pattern components that together provide users with important computer-related information. For example, colors are assigned to types of information, and illumination patterns generally to behavior-related information. Colors may be combined in various illumination patterns. In one implementation, many or all of the visible indicators may be grouped together on a single control panel from rapid viewing. Alternatively, the visible indicators may be grouped by function or other logical arrangement, such as on the keyboard and/or frame of a monitor. Alternative light sources that illuminate the system (e.g., the monitor bezel) to convey state information, instead of or in addition to individual indicators, are also described.

Abstract: An air cooling system for cooling an air-cooled fuel cell system including a plurality of cooling air channels formed in the fuel cell system is disclosed. The fuel cell system is provided with a fan casing at a cooling air inlet side of the cooling air channels. At least one fan is mounted to an opening of the fan casing. When the fan is turned on, it generates a cooling air flow which flows in from the cooling air inlets, through the cooling air channels and flows out from the cooling air outlets. A temperature sensor is arranged at a position between an anode plate of a single cell unit and a cathode plate of an adjacent single cell unit for detecting a temperature of the fuel cell system. A filter casing is provided to fuel cell system at the cooling air inlet side, and a filter is mounted to an opening of the filter casing for filtering dust and impurities. A cooling air guiding cover is provided at an external side of the fan casing for guiding the cooling air to a humidifier. The humidified cooling air is recirculated via a recirculation pipeline to the fuel cell system. 
     Each cooling air channel could be formed with a funnel shape enlarged structure at both ends.

Abstract: Actual instantaneous reactive power value Q is calculated from a voltage applied to a synchronous motor and a current detected value. Instantaneous reactive power estimated value Qhat is calculated from inverter output angular frequency ω1 and a current detected value. Inverter output angular frequency ω1 is controlled to minimize the difference (ΔQ) between Q and Qhat. This difference (ΔQ) contains a component proportional to position error Δθ of the synchronous motor and a component proportional to its rate of change (dΔθ/dt) independently of winding resistances. A frequency control system is provided to minimize this difference down to zero. This frequency control system has accomplished a high-accuracy sensor-less control. 
     The instantaneous reactive power can be substituted by any value which contains a position error (Δθ) function and can be calculated without using winding resistances.

Abstract: An information offering system allows users to obtain
desired information readily without being swayed by their own
level of skill. The information offering system is composed
of a centre CE as an information offerer and user terminals
TE which receive the offer of the information from the centre
CE. The centre CE is provided with a transmission antenna AT
for transmitting radio signals RF1 to a communication
satellite SA. The communication satellite SA re-transmits
radio signals RF2 to the terminal TE. Thereby, a satellite
broadcasting network is constructed as a first communication
mode for supplying partial information from the centre CE to
the terminal TE. A communication network such as ISDN using
a cable CA as a medium is also constructed between the centre
CE and the terminal TE to be able to transmit whole
information specified by the terminal TE from the centre CE
to the terminal TE in a second communication mode by means of
a line transmission mode.

Abstract: A lock key is unlocked in a state where a cellular phone is processing a call and using an external battery as the power supply. A "HIGH" signal is inputted to a connection detection circuit before the power supply from the external battery stops. A control circuit determines, based on the voltage detected by the connection detection circuit, that a battery unit in which the external battery is disposed and the main body of the cellular phone are in a detaching-state, and switches the power supply from the external battery to a built-in battery of the cellular phone via a battery change-over circuit. In other words, because the switching process of the power supply takes place in the above-mentioned detaching-state after unlocking the lock key, the power supply to the cellular phone is not interrupted, and the power-on state is kept, and the call, etc. are continued.
