Patent EP-1241333-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIRAKU KEIZO
IPC: F02B31/00
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: An intake device (100) of an internal combustion engine (1) is provided that includes
an intake flow control valve (29) shaped so as to be capable of effectively forming a tumble
flow within a combustion chamber (14) when there is a projection (27a) within an intake pipe
(2) located downstream of the intake flow control valve (29). The intake device of the
internal combustion engine (I) includes an intake flow control valve (29) between a throttle
valve (24) provided within an intake pipe (2) and a fuel injector (27a) located downstream of
the throttle valve, for producing a tumble flow in a combustion chamber (14). The intake
flow control valve (29) includes a valve body (29v). The valve body (29v) has a bypass
airflow producing portion formed at a position corresponding to that of the fuel injector (i.e.,
a projection within the intake pipe) when viewed in a flow direction of the airflow. The valve
body (29v) is shaped to have a projection, thereby allowing an airflow formed by the intake
flow control valve (29) to bypass the projection (27a) within the intake pipe (2) located
downstream of the intake flow control valve (29).

Abstract: A ceiling tile antenna (10) for use in wireless local area networks and voice networks. A patch
style antenna (10) is manufactured in which the dielectric substrate is the ceiling tile (30) itself, and the
radiating element (20) and the ground plane (40) are fixed to the face and back of the tile, respectively.
Since the ceiling tile (30) acts as the antenna, the back of the ceiling tile does not have to be routed
out to create a cavity for an antenna pod. The sizes of the radiating element (20) and the ground plane (40)
are not an issue; therefore no miniaturization of the elements is required. Compared to
microstrip antennas, a ceiling tile antenna provides a wider bandwidth and higher gain due to the
thicker dielectric substrate used for the ceiling tile construction. Therefore, it is easier to achieve
multiple resonances. The ceiling tile (30) used as an antenna can be made from mineral fiber, medium
density fiber board, fiberglass, drywall and polyvinyl chloride.

Abstract: A hydraulic controller comprises a structure composed of a
separator plate 70 sandwiched between first and second valve bodies 60a
and 80a, in which structure, an oil passage 103 connecting a SC shift
valve 92 provided upstream and a SC backup valve 94 provided
downstream is provided with a choke 75. When the separator plate 70,

fluid communication with one end of the choke opening 75a while the
downstream part of the oil passage 103 is in fluid communication with the
other end of the choke opening 75a. In this arrangement, a long narrow
room formed by the choke opening 75a sandwiched between the first and
second valve bodies comprises the choke 75.

Abstract: A system and method of implementing Routing Stability-Based
Integrated Traffic Engineering ("RITE") for use in an
MPLS/optical network is described. Incoming network traffic
is classified as high priority ("HP"), which requires
absolute routing stability, or low priority ("LP"), which
can tolerate limited rerouting. In accordance with one
embodiment, HP traffic trunks are mapped on to direct LCs
and are rerouted only in the event of an LC teardown due to
poor traffic utilization. LP traffic trunks are mapped on
to direct LCs if available; otherwise, they are mapped on
to multi-hop LSPs with appropriate O/E/O conversions at the
edge nodes serving as intermediate hops. Each LP traffic
trunk is associated with a rerouting timer that is set at
the time of rerouting so as to prevent another rerouting of
the trunk until the timer expires.

Abstract: A beam source (110) for a heterodyne interferometer generates a beam containing
components with different frequencies and respective orthogonal circular polarizations and
directs the beam down an isotropic single-mode or few-mode optical fiber (130).
Polarizations of light exiting the optical fiber (130) are converted to orthogonal linear
polarizations for use in the interferometer, where the frequency components are separated
according to linear polarization. Crosstalk between left-handed and right-handed
polarizations in the optical fiber is low, which permits clean separation of frequency
components. A quarter-wave plate (152) or other optical element that converts the
polarization in the beam exiting the optical fiber (130) has a mounting (156) with tilt and roll
angle adjustments to adjust to exit polarizations that depend on bends in the optical fiber
(130). The optical fiber (130) can have a rigid jacket or fast relaxation time to provide a
stable output.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention
provide a check validation scheme wherein a payor's signature is digitized, encrypted
and embedded on the front of the check using glyphs (21). When the payor seeks to
convert a blank check into a negotiable instrument, the user fills out the check and
signs it. When the check is presented to a bank for payment, a teller using a decoding
device, decodes and decrypts the digitized signature such that a human-readable image
of the digitized signature can be seen on a screen for comparison with the payor's
scripted signature. If the two signatures are identical, the check is honored.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to operate a sigma-delta modulator of a type that includes
a quantizer. The method has steps of (a) sampling an amplitude of an input signal
to the sigma-delta modulator; and (b) controlling the switching of a capacitance
bank in accordance with the sampled amplitude of the input signal for generating
a dither signal at an input of the quantizer. The dither signal is generated to have
a pseudorandom amplitude that is inversely proportional to the sampled
amplitude of the input signal. The step of controlling and generating operates a
linear feedback shift register to switch individual ones of a plurality of
capacitances of the bank of capacitances in and out of a capacitance network. In
one embodiment the step of operating the at least one linear feedback shift
register turns a linear feedback shift register clock signal on and off as a function
of the amplitude of the input signal. In one embodiment the step of sampling
operates at least one window detector, and the dither signal is turned off and on
depending on a relationship between the amplitude of the input signal and
voltage thresholds of the window detector. In another embodiment the step of
sampling operates a rectifier that rectifies the input signal to provide a rectified
output signal, and the step of controlling and generating pseudorandomly applies
the rectified output signal to the bank of capacitances for controlling an amount
of current that is transferred between the input of the quantizer and the bank of
capacitances.

Abstract: Compact trench-gate semiconductor devices, for example a cellular power MOSFET with sub-micron pitch (Yc), are manufactured with self-aligned techniques that use sidewall spacers (52) in different ways. The trench-gate (11) is accommodated in a narrow trench (20) that is etched via a narrow window (52b) defined by the spacers (52) at sidewalls of a wider window (51a) of a mask (51) at the body surface (10a). The spacers (52) permit a source region (13) adjacent to the trench-gate (11) and an insulating overlayer (18) over the trench-gate (11) to be self-aligned to this narrow trench (20). The overlayer (18), which defines a contact window (18a) for a source electrode (33), is provided in a simple but reproducible manner by deposition and etch-back, after removing the spacers (52). Its overlap (y4, y4') with the body surface (10a) is well-defined, so reducing a short-circuit risk between the source electrode (33) and the trench-gate (11). Furthermore, implantation of the source region (13) is facilitated, and a channel-accommodating region (15) can also be provided using a high energy implant (61) after providing the insulating overlayer (18).
