Abstract: L'invention concerne un catalyseur destiné à épurer des gaz d'échappement, composé (1) d'un revêtement favorisant la catalyse contenant un catalyseur à métal noble et un composant accumulateur de NOx chargé sur un matériau porteur, le composant accumulateur de NOx comportant un métal alcalin, et (2) d'un substrat céramique destiné à supporter le revêtement favorisant la catalyse, le substrat céramique présentant une résistance contre la migration des métaux alcalins en dessous de 1000 °C et un coefficient d'expansion thermique inférieur à 25x10-7/ °C (25-800°C). L'invention concerne également un procédé d'épuration d'un gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à gaz pauvre, consistant à extraire simultanément du monoxyde de carbone, des hydrocarbures, et des oxydes d'azote par mise en contact des gaz d'échappement du moteur à gaz pauvre avec le catalyseur d'épuration de gaz d'échappement selon l'invention. Selon ce procédé, la majorité des oxydes d'azote des gaz d'échappement sont adsorbés par le composant accumulateur de NOx sur le support poreux sous une atmosphère à gaz pauvre dans laquelle les concentrations d'oxydation sont supérieures à un point stoechiométrique requis pour les composants d'oxydation devant être oxydés dans les gaz d'échappement. Par ailleurs, lorsque les gaz d'échappement à gaz pauvre sont temporairement enrichis en combustible, les oxydes d'azote adsorbés sont libérés et réduits chimiquement par réaction avec les hydrocarbures et le monoxyde de carbone dans les gaz d'échappement sous une atmosphère stoechiométrique ou une atmosphère riche en combustible dans laquelle les concentrations d'oxygène sont en dessous du point stoechiométrique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal processing device and method of supplying a signal processing result to a plurality of registers arranged in different register files, wherein a plurality of different register files are selected based on a corresponding indication in said instruction word, and the register address is supplied to said selected register files. Thereby, result values can be broadcasted to multiple registers in a single processor cycle, while a copy operation between different register files is eliminated. Broadcasting is thus implemented via overlapping register address spaces, since physical registers having the same logical register address are provided in different register files.

Patent EP-1270746-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JENSEN ALLAN
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: The invention provides for methods for identification of
biologically active biomolecules. In one aspect, a
biologically active biomolecule such as RNA or a peptide is
identified by incorporating random nucleotide sequences in a
scaffold constituted by an enzyme activity modulator,
transforming substantially identical host cells with the
construct obtained thereby and screening the transformed cells
to identify those where a preselected phenotypic trait has
been altered. The randomized DNA is subsequently isolated from
the phenotypically altered cells and the peptide and/or RNA
encoded by the random sequence is determined. In turn,
interaction partners which are putative drug targets are
identified and isolated by use of the peptide and/or RNA as
part of affinity reagents. A preferred scaffold is derived
from the potato inhibitor I family of protease inhibitors and
exemplified is the barley chymotrypsin inhibitor 2A (CI-2A).
Another aspect relates to the identification of novel enzyme
inhibitors by using substantially the same approach, but
screening specifically for changes in target enzyme activity.
Also disclosed are methods of producing the relevant
transformation and expression vectors as well as methods for
identifying lead compounds and drug targets for use in drug
development. Finally, the invention also includes within its
scope a method for the preparation of a medicinal product.

Abstract: An association memory and a memory cell (X0..X3) of
association memory including a register, a transmission
circuit, and a match circuit are provided. A register
stores storage data when its own memory cell is not in
the don't care state, and stores the don't care data in
the adjacent memory cell when in the don't care state. A
transmission circuit transmits the don't care data
indicating that the other adjacent memory cell is in the
don't care state to the other adjacent memory cell when
both of the don't care data transmitted from the one
adjacent memory cell and the don't care data stored its
own memory cell indicate the don't care state. A match
circuit outputs match data indicating the agreement when
the storage data stored in the register and the search
data supplied from the outside agree with each other.

Abstract: A disc brake friction pad (10, Fig 1(a)) has a back plate (12) and friction material mounted thereon as an array of discrete friction elements (20). The elements are each resiliently mounted on an end region (58) of an individually associated support spring finger (52, Fig 2(a)) and the other end region (56) of the finger is secured against to the back plate. The end regions are substantially parallel and separated by a central region (60) inclined with respect thereto at an angle of about 30 DEG  to displace the second end region and its friction element from the back plate. The support spring finger is stiff but has resilience, at least in the central region adjoining the end regions, permitting the friction element to be resiliently displaced towards the back plate against the restoring bias of the finger. The shape of the finger permits the friction element to displace with little rotation. The support spring fingers may alternatively be formed as tongues (752, Fig 8) cut from, and deflected out of, the back plate.

Abstract: The color-keyed regions of a color-keyed image are extracted from the color-keyed image, and the color-keyed regions and the non-color-keyed regions are independently scaled. The independently scaled regions are subsequently merged to form a scaled color-key image with clearly distinguished color-keyed regions and non-color-keyed regions. To minimize the blurring of edges in the non-color-key regions, the non-color-key colors are extended into color-keyed regions after the color-keyed information is extracted from the color-keyed image. To minimize the encroachment of the scaled color-keyed regions into the scaled non-color-keyed regions of the scaled color-key image, the edges of the scaled color-key regions are sharpened by defining the color-keyed region as the region wherein each scaled/filtered color-key value exceeds a non-zero threshold value. To facilitate the use of existing memory and structure in images that are encoded using three components per pixel, such as RGB, YUV, etc., the extracted color-keyed regions are stored in the memory structure that is typically used to store an optional fourth component, such as a transparency or texture parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reproducing information, such as text, objects and/or images, which is displayed on one or several surfaces and can be received by a cine-camera and by spectators. According to the method, one or several surfaces, on which the information to be received is displayed, are configured to be reflective, preferably extremely retroreflective. A projector projects all types of information onto the projection surface and the reflected light containing the information is recorded by a cine-camera and forwarded for additional image processing or image transmission. The inventive method allows even complex three-dimensional objects to be reproduced in the simplest manner in such a way that they appear to be located on the projection surface or the impression is given that they lie outside the projection surface. The inventive method is particularly suitable for reproducing rapidly changing information.
