Patent EP-0392391-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PIERCE STANLEY L
IPC: B60K17/06
Filed: 1990-04-06
Abstract: A hydrokinetic torque converter transaxle having a hydrokinetic torque converter (12), two simple planetary gear units and a clutch-and-brake system (110,134,152,164,170, 182,226,228) situated concentrically with respect to the axis (250) of a vehicle engine wherein the torque output member (20) of the planetary gear units is located in midposition between the planetary gear units and the hydrokinetic converter. A drive chain forms a torque transfer drive from the axis of the converter to a parallel axis coinciding with the axis of a geared differential (18), a pair of half shafts being connected to side gears of the differential for powering traction wheels wherein the clutch-and-brake system and the planetary gear units as well as the drive chain are integrated one with respect to the other to provide a minimum axial dimension with respect to the axis of the engine crankshaft thereby facilitating the packaging of the transaxle in a limited space within the vehicle. The torque flow path from the turbine of the converter through the gearing and from the gearing to the torque transfer drive chain is accomplished by strategi­cally positioned torque transfer sleeve shafts surround­ing the axis of the converter.

Abstract: As electroconductive polymers, poly(alkoxythiophenes) are of considerable interest due to their high stability in air and water and their good heat resistance. 
<??>To prepare such polymers on an industrial scale, an electrochemical process for the preparation of electroconductive poly(alkoxythiophenes) is suitable in which the protons required for the cathode process are available by adding carboxylic acids to conductive salt and electrolyte solvent. The counterions in the doped polymer originate from the conductive salt, so that the properties of the polymer are substantially independent of the proton source.

Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur ZF-Bandbreitenumschaltung sowie eine ZF-Bandbreitenumschaltung in einem AM-Rundfunkempfänger beschrieben beschrieben. Eine solche Umschaltung ist zweckmäßig, wenn neben Rundfunksendern mit normaler Modulationsbandbreite auch solche mit vergrößerter Bandbreite Programme ausstrahlen. Um einen optimalen Empfang zu erhalten wird die Umschaltung in Abhängigkeit der Empfangsverhältnisse durchgeführt. Dazu lassen sich die Fehlerrate einer AM-Zusatzinformation, die Nachbarkanalstörungen und die Empfangsfeldstärke auswerten. Diese Kriterien können sowohl für sich als auch in unterschiedlicher Kombination verwendet werden. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for determining the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP). which shows how much and for what length of time thrombin has been active in a sample of clotting blood or plasma. The ETP can be used for determining the effectiveness of treatment with antithrombotics of any type. Said ETP determination comprises adding to said sample a thrombin substrate, an activator of thrombin formation, a preparation of proteaseinhibitor and if desired a pharmaceutical for analysis . The thrombin substrate is preferably selected to not completely consume the amount of thrombin generated in the sample, to have a rate of conversion of the substrate which is proportional to the amount of thrombin present and to have a measurable conversion product resulting from the conversion by thrombin. Determination of the amount of conversion product leads to determination of the ETP. The choice of activator determines whether the effect is measured on the intrinsic or extrinsic clotting system, making it possible to determine the effect of the pharmaceutical, which is being analysed, on various parts of the clotting mechanism.

Abstract: A multiple wavelength light emitting device having a single p-n junction and at least two light emitting layers within a diffusion region of a minority carrier comprises a p-type Ga 1-x1 Al x1 As layer, a p-type Ga 1-x2 Al x2 As layer, a p-­type Ga 1-x3 Al x3 As layer, and an n-type Ga 1-y Al y As layer, where x₁, x₂, x₃ and Y represent aluminum arsenide mixed crystal ratios of the respective layers. The light emitting layers, i.e., the p-type Ga 1-X2 Al x2 As layer and the p-type Ga 1-x3 Al x3 As layer each have a different band gap to emit an infrared light and a visible light, respectively. Since the infrared and visible lights are simultaneously emitted, emission of the infrared light can be confirmed or monitored by the visible light. The light emitting device of the present invention utilizes an energy well for trapping electrons and an energy barrier for preventing electrons from diffusing to improve the whole light emitting efficiency.

Abstract: In a lateral MOS FET, a back gate region a part of whose surface is a channel region is formed to surround the drain region, while being in contact with a part of the periphery of the drain region. With this configuration, if a high voltage electrostatic surge invades the drain electrode, a surge current will disperse from the drain region toward the surrounding back gate region. As a result, a rise in the electric potential at the drain region is suppressed smaller. Thus the electric potential hardly exceed the dielectric strength of the gate insulating film, thereby suppressing a breakdown of the gate insulating film and an electrostatic breakdown of the device.

Abstract: An improved technique for pre-processing a picture image data signal wherein a black/white image data and a halftone image data coexists, is disclosed. The pre-processing is implemented before run-length encoding. Each of line image data signals is divided into n data blocks (n is a positive integer). A reset signal is produced in synchronism with each of the data blocks when divided. Following this, a selector (42) is supplied with a first line image data signals directly applied and also receives the first line image data via a convolution circuit (36) to said selector. The number of transition points in each of the data blocks is counted with respect to the first line image data signal which is directly applied to said selector. Similarly, the number of transition points in each of the blocks is carried out with the first line image data signal which is applied to said selector via said convolution circuit. The comparison results of n blocks of the first line image data are stored and then applied to the selector which chooses one of the data blocks of a second line image data signal applied thereto according to the comparison results. The second line image data signal is preceded by said first line image data signal.
