Patent EP-1310670-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOSHINO MASATO
IPC: F02P5/15
Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: An internal combustion engine (1) causes an air-fuel mixture produced in a
combustion chamber (23) to burn by means of ignition using a spark plug (24). A
programmable controller (20) calculates a reaction probability expressing the
combustibility of the air-fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber (23) and the
combustion rate of the air-fuel mixture on the basis of the operating conditions of
the engine 1 (S13, S27, S32). An air-fuel mixture combustion period is calculated
on the basis of the volume of the combustion chamber at the combustion start
timing, the reaction probability, and the combustion rate (S29, S34). On the
basis of this combustion period, a target ignition timing of the spark plug (24) can
be accurately set under a small calculation load.

Abstract: A design for reducing the power dissipation in an
integrated circuit for an image pickup device. Placing a
circuit block (2), such as for generating a driving signal to
an image pickup apparatus, in a standby state within a vertical
blanking period or horizontal blanking period reduces the power
dissipation at the circuit block (2). Since the blanking
period is short, it is necessary to rapidly restore normal
operation from standby so as to ensure the standby time. A
switch (6) is provided between a terminal of the circuit block
(2) and a capacitor (4) that is provided for voltage regulation
at the terminal. A controller (8) turns off the switch (6) and
disconnects the capacitor (4) from the circuit block (2) in a
period where the circuit block (2) is placed in a standby
state. As a result, variations in the amount of stored charge
in the capacitor (4) during standby are suppressed, and while
resetting to normal operation the time for returning the
capacitor (4) to the amount of stored charge for normal
operation is shortened so that the reset operation is performed
rapidly.

Abstract: The treatment procedure for agricultural or industrial effluent consists of introducing the effluent into at least one vessel (C1, C2) after separation of solids in a separator (S1) to extract nitrogenous components and using a pre-filter (PF1) to retain organic material necessary for methanisation before transferring the effluent to a reactor (C5) for anaerobic digestion. The residual liquid portion of the effluent is concentrated by filtration in an ultrafiltration unit (UF1) and/or a nano filtration unit (NF2) by reverse osmosis in at least one vessel (C3) located downstream of the first vessels (C1, C2). During the concentration stage one vessel (C2) acts as a buffer vessel, and the permeate rejected by the ultrafiltration unit is transferred in sequence to the pre-filter (PF1) to take part in back-washing before going to the methanisation reactor.

Inventor: LEDENTSOV NIKOLAI NIKOLAEVICH
IPC: H01L21/203
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: The method produces coherent dislocation-free regions from initially dislocated and/or defect-rich lattice mismatched layer grown on top of the substrate having a different lattice constant, which does not contain any processing steps before of after the lattice-mismatched layer growth. The process preferably uses in situ formation of a cap layer on top of a dislocated layer. The cap layer preferably has a lattice parameter close to that in the underlying substrate, and different from that in the lattice mismatched layer in no strain state. Under these conditions, the cap layer undergoes elastic repulsion from the regions in the vicinity of the dislocations, where the lattice parameter is the most different from that in the substrate. The cap layer is absent in these regions. When the cap layer has a lower thermal evaporation rate than the underlying lattice-mismatched layer, the regions of this lattice-mismatched layer containing dislocations are selectively evaporated at high enough temperatures, and only the coherent defect-free regions of the initially defect-rich lattice-mismatched layer remain on the substrate. In one embodiment of the invention, the defect-free regions are formed on the substrate with a size preferably tuned in the range of 30-1000 nm, depending on the annealing conditions, thickness of the cap layer, and the lattice mismatch. A device created by this method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved induction tool for formation resistivity evaluations. The tool provides electromagnetic transmitters and sensors suitable fior transmitting and receiving magnetic fiels in radial directions that are orthogonal to the tool's longitudinal axis with minimal susceptibility to errors associated with parasitic eddy currents induced in the metal components surrounding the transmitter and receiver coils. The present invention provides increased effective tool surface impedance by increasing self-inductance of the paths in which induced eddy currents flow on the surface of the multi-component induction instruments. The tool enables downhole tool designers to build more effective and better-protected radial induction arrays for existing and future downhole instruments operating in the frequency and/or time domains.
