Patent EP-1197642-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHERMAN JAMES ALAN
IPC: B60W10/08
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: A method for regeneration of particulate filters
or traps in the context of a hybrid electric vehicle
includes the step of measuring the back pressure of the
filter, and adjusting the engine parameters when the back
pressure exceeds a particular value to increase the exhaust
temperature, to aid in regeneration. In one mode, the
engine speed and engine load are both reset toward
particular target values. In another version in which the
engine load includes an energy storage device such as a
battery, increasing the load includes the step of increasing
the battery charge level setpoint. Additionally, for those
situations in which the battery cannot accept more charge, a
power-dissipating resistor is coupled to an electric source
to increase the load. In yet another version, the use of
the electrical resistor is made dependent upon the
temperature of the filter during regeneration. (143)

Abstract: A general-purpose computer cross-authenticates an
external storage medium which is detachably loaded in the
general-purpose computer, directly storing copyrighted
data from its internal storage means into the loaded
external storage medium. An HDD, an internal storage
means of the general-purpose computer, holds such data
protected by copyright as music data. A memory card
driver directly cross-authenticates a memory card, which
is an external storage medium, and, upon successful
cross-authentication, controls the memory card so that it
stores the data from the HDD.

Abstract: A method and system for diagnosing catalyst operation
in an internal combustion engine (32) having a two-bank,
three EGO sensor structure (38,42,46) includes monitoring
when the EGO sensors switch states between rich and lean and
determining the ratio between a switch count of the post-catalyst
EGO sensor signal and a switch count of a pre-catalyst
EGO sensor signal over a selected time period. If
the exhaust bank is a one-sensor bank having only a post-catalyst
EGO sensor (46) and not a pre-catalyst EGO sensor,
the system uses the switch count from the pre-catalyst EGO
sensor (38) in the two-sensor bank to calculate the switch
ratio, thereby allowing calculation of two switch ratios
without two matched pairs of EGO sensors. The switch ratio
indicates the efficiency of the catalyst and may be compared
with later-generated ratios to monitor converter efficiency
over time.

Abstract: A fuel filter cartridge assembly (10) employs a two
piece housing (12,14) to house a replaceable filter unit
(30). The filter cartridge assembly incorporates a key
system to ensure compatibility of a replacement filter
unit for a given cartridge assembly. Keys (38) formed
on the filter unit cooperate with keyways formed in the
housing to ensure that only filter units having key
structures may be used. Each key may have a different
angular position, angular dimension and radial
projection. By varying the dimensions of the keys
and/or the positions and/or the number of keys, a
composite compatibility matrix comprising an infinite
number of configuration sets are available to
differentiate between filter units having differing flow
capacities, filter media, disposal options or other
characteristics.

Abstract: A washing machine and a method of changing system data
therein that can grasp causes such as trouble of the product
itself, problems on installation, problems on the regional
characteristics, living pattern change of a user, etc., and
change/replace a pre-stored program to/by a wash-related program
that can solve the problems. The washing machine includes an
outer tank, an inner tank, a load section, a microcomputer for
controlling drive of the load section and reading an operation
state of the load section, a key input section, a display section,
an interface section for sending/receiving wash-related data
to/from an external device, and a memory for enabling data
read/write and storing the program or data received from the
external device. If a data-change command is externally or
internally produced, the wash-related program is changed through
processes of data movement/copy/deletion for each sector in the
memory by executing a program for data communication, and thus
the convenience in use, washing performance, and operational
efficiency can be maximized. Also, the trouble diagnosis and
repair performed by the user or service man can be facilitated
through the display of the changed program version.

Abstract: In the disclosed invention, all accesses of individual
users via client terminal devices are once accepted by a server
machine without limiting the number of such users,
and an order of distribution in relation to the total number of
other users in the queue waiting for target information is clearly
announced to the user. Since all accesses from the users can be
accepted and the current distribution status can be clearly
announced to the accessing user, the users are successfully
prevented from feeling uneasy about failure in connecting with the
server machine.

Abstract: A technique for allowing a first and second group of users to share access to a communication channel such as a radio channel. A first group of users is typically a legacy group of users such as those using digital CDMA cellular telephone equipment. The second group of users are a group of data users that code their transmissions in different formats optimized for data functionalities. The first group of users share one modulation structure such as, on a reverse link, using unique phase offsets of a common pseudorandom noise (PN) code. The second group of users share another modulation structure but in a manner that is consistent and compatible with the users of the first group. Specifically, the users of the second group may all use the same PN code and code phase offset. However, they are uniquely identified such as, for example, assigning each of them a unique orthogonal code.
