Patent EP-0767349-A3 (EP)
Inventor: OCCHIALINI JAMES MICHAEL
IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 1996-10-02
Abstract: A cryogenic air separation unit (ASU) (10) provides
oxygen (12) for use in a process (14), such as COREX iron
making or the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, or in an
oxycoal fuelled blast furnace, producing an off-gas (16)
containing useful components (H 2  and CO) and carbon
dioxide. The carbon dioxide is removed by pressure swing
adsorption (20) using nitrogen (22) from the ASU (10) as a
regeneration gas and the purified off-gas (26) used a feed
gas to a further process (28) such as production of iron by
direct reduction of iron ore or the production of a NH 3 
making ammonia or is recycled into the first process as a
feed gas.

Abstract: The hand gun has a turning closing head which is controlled by a slideway (7) in the lock carrier, bounded by first and second side flanks (13,15) angled to the longitudinal direction of the gun. The first side flank (13) controls the unlocking of the head. The first side flank is at a smaller angle to the longitudinal direction (21) than the second flank (15), which has the greater angle (19) to the longitudinal direction. The control slideway may be in the form of an elongated aperture with front and rear sectors offset from each other but both parallel to the longitudinal direction.

Title: Connector provided with a retainer
Inventor: SAKURAI TOSHIKAZU
IPC: H01R13/436
Filed: 1997-03-12
Abstract: A retainer in its partial lock position sometimes moves to
its full lock position upon being struck against something
during transportation. 
     In a connector provided with a retainer 30 which can be
held displaceably from a partial lock position to a full lock
position with respect to a housing 10, an inadvertent movement
of the retainer 30 from the partial lock position to the full
lock position is prevented by providing a locking control
member 34. Accordingly, the retainer 30 does not make such an
inadvertent movement even if it is struck against something,
e.g. during transportation.

Title: Method and system for facilitating access to selectable elements on a graphical user interface
Inventor: NIELSEN JAKOB
IPC: G06F3/0489
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of selecting a selectable element
with a character input device from a list of lexically unordered selectable elements on a graphical
user interface (GUI). Typically, these selectable elements include hypertext links and GUI buttons
on the GUI of computer program executing on a computer system. Each selectable element includes
a character portion of data which facilitates selecting the selectable element. The method typically
begins the selection process when a user enters one or more characters from a character input device.
In response to receiving the characters, the present invention inserts each character into a match
string. The match string is then compared with the character portion of each selectable element on
the GUI. A selectable element is "armed" when the character portion of a selectable element is
found which matches the match string. Arming a selectable element prepares the element for
selection and typically involves highlighting, underlining or otherwise distinguishing the hypertext
link from other text on a page. The user can then select the armed selectable element by actuating
the "enter" key. If a hypertext selectable element is selected then the information associated with a
destination node (e.g., a web page) is displayed for the user. Instead of selecting the armed selectable
element, the user may search for a different selectable element by entering additional characters
and not actuating the "enter" key. The method disclosed provides an improved selection method
over prior methods because a user can quickly search and select a selectable element by typing a
minimum number of characters.

circuit (6) through a first selector (3). The output of
the second shift-register (2 1 , 2 2 , ... 2 m ) is selected by a

Abstract: The present invention provides an engine power train
control method and control apparatus for a vehicle having an
engine and an automatic transmission capable of quickly
changing an air-fuel ratio to meet the requirements of the
exhaust gas without producing shocks and without reducing an
engine torque. The invention has following components. 
     An air-fuel ratio command value is varied stepwise for
transition between an air-fuel ratio for lean-burn operation
and a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and, at the same time, an
air amount fed to the engine is varied stepwise. In a fixed
period following the completion of the stepwise variation of
air-fuel ratio command value, a basic fuel amount fed to the
engine is varied stepwise from a value determined according to
the air amount and an engine speed to a value determined
according to a position of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle
and the engine speed. 
     The invention provides that shocks do not occur and the
operability is improved, because the engine torque remains
substantially constant through the air-fuel ratio transition.
