Patent EP-1701021-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YASUI YUJI
IPC: F02D13/02
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A control device for controlling an engine, comprising a variable lift mechanism capable of changing the lift of a valve and a variable compression ratio mechanism capable of changing a compression ratio in a combustion chamber. The control devise controls the variable lift mechanisms and the variable compression ratio mechanism so that, when a requested engine output is increased, a compression ratio decreasing rate is increased over a lift increasing rate and, when the requested engine output is reduced, a lift decreasing rate is increased over a compression ratio increasing rate. When the engine comprises a variable phase mechanism capable of changing the phase of the valve, the control devise controls the variable compression ratio mechanism and the variable phase mechanism so that, when the requested engine output is increased, the compression ratio decreasing rate is increased over the change rate of the phase to a delay angle and, when the requested engine output is reduced, the change rate of the phase to an advance angle is increased over the compression ratio increasing rate. Thus, the contact of the valve with a piston can be avoided.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'amortissement d'une oscillation ou d'une autre perturbation dans un système comprenant une charge entraînée par un moteur. L'amortissement s'effectue au moyen d'une rétroaction en mode actif dans laquelle un courant est fourni en mode de fonctionnement normal d'un actionneur électromagnétique. Un train d'engrenages ou un autre dispositif mécanique est connecté entre la sortie de l'actionneur électromagnétique et une charge afin de former un actionneur électromagnétique. Une rétroaction est produite au moyen d'une force ou d'un couple mesuré transmis entre l'actionneur et la masse de charge. Dans un amortissement actif, on utilise un filtre passe-haut pour recevoir des signaux de rétroaction ou filtrer un rétroaction basse fréquence. Les enroulements du moteur sont en court-circuit, tels que par utilisation d'un commutateur. Le courant induit agit afin d'inhiber des oscillations de charge. Un certain nombre de résistances sont en court-circuit afin de personnaliser les caractéristiques d'amortissement du moteur.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to reduce the power consumption at the time of an automatic homing operation performed between a base station apparatus and a wireless LAN terminal apparatus. When an automatic homing operation is performed in which a scanning operation is repeated for searching an AP as a connection destination, the wireless LAN terminal apparatus 10 does not leave unchanged a scan pause time period which is a period of time between the previous scanning operation to the next scanning operation, but lengthens it as the number of scanning operations increases. More specifically, each time the scanning operation is repeated predetermined number n times, the wireless LAN terminal apparatus extends the scan pause time period by a given incremental value. The wireless LAN terminal apparatus has an upper limit value of the scan pause time period preliminarily set therein. Thus the scan pause time period is made not to exceed the upper limit value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is a method of bonding a stainless steel part to a titanium
part by heating a component assembly comprised of the titanium part, the
stainless steel part, and a very thin substantially pure nickel filler material placed
between the two parts and heated at a temperature that is greater than the
temperature of the eutectic formed between the titanium part and the
substantially pure nickel filler material, but that is less than the melting point of
either the filler material, the stainless steel part, or the titanium part. The
component assembly is held in intimate contact at temperature in a non-reactive
atmosphere for a sufficient time to develop a hermetic and strong bond between
the stainless steel part and the titanium part. The bonded component assembly is
optionally treated with acid to remove any residual free nickel and nickel salts, to
assure a biocompatible component assembly for implantation in living tissue.

Abstract: A system for generating a set of bit masks arrays is provided (350-0 to 350-255) where the bit mask arrays (350-0 to 350-255) are such that clusters of entries of different types are spread across each array and entries of different types within the arrays are either part of a larger cluster of entries of that type or are immediately adjacent to a cluster of entries of that type. When a multi-level image (200) is converted to a half-tone image (300) utilising the bit mask arrays (350-0 to 350-255) a half-tone image (300) which limits the occurrence of small isolated printed or unprinted areas is generated. The bit mask arrays (350-0 to 350-255) are therefore particularly suitable for use with laser printers (28,32) which have difficulty rendering half tone images which comprise small isolated printed and unprinted areas.
