Abstract: Disclosed is a torque control system for internal combustion engines which can save electric power consumption by appropriately avoiding torque application after the internal combustion engine starts increasing the torque. Ignition timing detecting means (7, 13, 208, 209) detects the ignition timing of an internal combustion engine (1). Torque application start commanding means (13, 207, 307) commands operation start to torque applying means (3, 5, 8), generator-motor (3), under the torque increase command from the internal combustion engine (1), while torque application stop commanding means (13, 210, 310) commands operation stop to the torque applying means (3, 5, 8) according to the number of ignitions immediately before the engine torque actually starts increasing under the torque increase command. The torque applying means (3, 5, 8) continuously applies torque to the internal combustion engine (1) after the input of the operation command until the input of the operation stop command. As a result, effective torque application and electric power saving can be achieved.

Abstract: A data processing system and method manages the recognition of text characters in a plurality of document images. The documents are predefined forms having a plurality of fields in which text characters are to be recognized. A form definition data set is used to specify various characteristics of the fields on the form such as their locations. A data capture priority value is specified in the form definition data set for at least some of the fields. This priority is used to manage the workload of the character recognition process. When a large number of document form images have been received by the system, they can limit the backlog volume and maintain a desired throughput for character recognizing the forms by reducing the number of fields which are character recognized on each form. By using the data capture priority value for each field, the character recognition processor can be controlled to omit processing or perform faster, lower-quality processing of low priority fields.

Abstract: Look-ahead control techniques and a variable attenuator are used to solve the known problem of differential attenuation of photonic intensities between time slots are delayed differently in delay paths that have different losses which optical time slot interchangers have.

IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 1995-04-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing a zero latency synchronizer that advantageously permits the reliable transfer of data between clock domains by placing a metastability delay in the clock path. The present invention permits data to be reliably transferred between clock domains faster than could be accomplished if there was a data path metastability delay without introducing a sacrifice in data transfer reliability. The zero latency synchronizer for synchronizing a signal from a first clock domain to a second clock domain is formed from a clock regenerator circuit and input and output master slave flip flops. The clock regenerator receives a first clock from the first clock domain and a second clock from the second clock domain and generates first and second regenerated clock signals. The first and second regenerated clock signals are formed in a manner that guarantees that the first and second' regenerated clocks, in conjunction with the first and second clocks, can be used to control the input and output master slave flip flops and thereby pass data reliably from one clock domain to the other without delay. The master and the slave of the input flip flop are controlled respectively by the first clock domain clock and by the first regenerated clock. In turn, the master and slave of the output flip flop are respectively controlled by the second regenerated clock and by the second clock domain clock. A signal to be transferred from the first clock domain to the second clock domain is input to the master of the input flip flop. The output from the slave of the input flip flop is provided as input to the master of the output flip flop. Accordingly, the output of the slave of the output flip flop is the signal from the first domain synchronized to the second.

Abstract: A single, integrated catheter (10) is capable of performing balloon angioplasty followed by delivery of a stent (60) without removing the catheter from the patient's body. In one embodiment, a balloon (50) placed near the catheter's distal end is first used for pre-dilatation of a vascular stenosis. The catheter is then advanced until a stent placed within a stent containment cavity (70) located just proximal to the balloon is placed within the dilated stenosis. An outer sheath (20) is then pulled back which allows a self-expanding stent to be deployed radially outward. The balloon is then pulled back inside the stent and reinflated to embed the stent into the dilated stenosis. An alternative embodiment of the invention uses a side opening in the catheter located just proximal to the stent containment cavity as an entry port for a flexible guide wire thus providing a "rapid exchange" capability for the integrated catheter.

Abstract: There is disclosed a licensee notification system for implementing a software sales system wherein license information for converting to executable form software that is presented to a user in non-executable form is communicated to the user from a management center on condition of payment of a charge, and the software is converted into executable form at the user terminal using this license information. The subject of the licensee notification system is software that decides whether or not the correspondence relationship between user identification information and signature information stored in the license file is legitimate, and, if it is legitimate, displays the user identification information to the user before starting proper operation; or, if it is not legitimate, does not start proper operation. The licensee notification system is constituted by connecting the management center and user terminals by communication circuits. If license information is requested from the user terminal, the management center transmits license information combining in integral form the user identification information identifying the user and conversion information for converting the software to executable form. The user terminal enables the software using the conversion information contained in this license information and writes user identification information and signature information whose content is determined in accordance with the content of the user identification information to a license file that is referred to when this software is operating.
