Title: Fuel system leak detection
Inventor: CORKILL WILLIAM
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 2000-07-03
Abstract: A vehicle fuel system has on-board diagnostics for leak testing. An electronic control unit (ECU) carries out a two stage leak test when the engine is running. Stage A includes evacuation of the fuel tank by connecting it to manifold vacuum though a valve (16) while closing an atmospheric vent valve (18), then closing valve (16) and monitoring pressure rise during resulting bleedup, and recording the pressure rise dP_A over a predetermined period A beginning when the pressure has risen to a predetermined value p2. Stage B includes measuring the amount dP B by which the presure in the tank (12) rises above atmospheric due to vapour generation over a predetermined period B following venting and closure of the fuel system. The ECU calculates a leakage value X from the difference between dP_A and dP_B using a scaling factor K dependent on measured values of operating conditions such as fuel level, fuel tank free volume and ambient temperature.

Filed: 2001-01-04
Abstract: A phase-shifting mask (400) is provided with a pattern which comprises a plurality of substantially transparent regions (402, 404, 406) and a plurality of substantially opaque regions (410, 412, 414, 416). Phase-shifters (420, 422) extend over apertures (402) and (404) respectively. Phase-shifter (420) produces a <SP>2</SP>/<SB>3</SB> pi radian shift (120 degrees) and phase-shifter (422) produces a <SP>4</SP>/<SB>3</SB> pi radian shift (240 degrees). Incident radiation does not undergo a phase shift on passing through aperture (406). Phase-shifting mask (400) is a three-phase-shifting mask. Electric fields (440, 442, 444) from apertures (402, 404, 406) resp. at a workpiece surface are shown in Figure 4C. The electric fields at the overlap regions are added destructively and the intensity is substantially zero where images through apertures (402, 404, 406) meet on the workpiece surface, therefore increasing resolution. Figure 4E shows electric field vectors corresponding to an electric field at workpiece level for mask (400).

Title: Print control device for thermal head having heating members acting as both heating elements and temperature detectors
Inventor: FUKUSHIMA ITARU
IPC: B41J2/365
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: A print control device includes a thermal head provided with heating members 100 (e.g. thermistors) which serve as both a heating element and a temperature detector and a drive circuit which supplies a current to the heating members. In use, a control circuit switches the current flowing to the respective heating members between a heating drive and a temperature detection state. A circuit 122 converts temperature values from each of the members to voltage values and detects the values using current which flows during the temperature detection. An analog/digital circuit 112 converts the voltage into a digital value. An adder 113 cumulatively adds digital values obtained by the conversion from the start of heating. A comparator 124 compares the cumulative value obtained by the adder against a target print density value set in register 123, and a circuit stops the heating drive of the heating member if the comparator detects that the print density has been reached. Alternatively, a circuit may stop the heating drive once a cumulative temperature has been reached. The arrangement may be used in gradation multicolour printing to monochrome thermo-sensitive paper, hologram film printing, or printing using free print patterns without a fixed mold.

Title: Generation of variable authentication codes, each code being generated using the immediately preceding authentication code and fixed data
Inventor: GARDNER RICHARD MERVYN
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: A person 1 is authenticated to a controller 3 of an authentication system using variable authentication codes. A first authentication code is generated by the person's computer 2 using both a random number sent from the controller 3 and fixed data 8. The random number and fixed data are combined using a secret mathematical algorithm 20 . Only the computer and the controller know which algorithm is used. Subsequent authentication codes are generated by combining the immediately preceding authentication code with the fixed data using the secret algorithm. The immediately preceding authentication code is referred to as a sequential value 24. The fixed data preferably includes the person's account number 6 and PIN number 10, the latter being entered by the person each time an authentication code is generated. In one embodiment mutual authentication is provided using a reciprocal authentication code 23 to authenticate the controller to the person's computer. In another embodiment the fixed data (with the exception of the PIN) and the sequential value may be stored on an IC card and accessed using the person's PIN number.
