Patent EP-1043484-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KANDA MUTSUMI
IPC: F02B75/12
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: A direct fuel injection-type spark ignition internal
combustion engine is disclosed. The engine comprises a
spark plug arranged in the upper wall of the cylinder, a
fuel injector for directly injecting fuel into the
cylinder, and a cavity formed in the top surface of the
piston. The cavity has a bottom wall and a spark plug
side wall. Fuel injected into the cavity from the fuel
injector in the latter half of the compression stroke
proceeds on the bottom wall of the cavity so as to be
deflected by the spark plug side wall and led to the
vicinity of the spark plug. In the engine, the fuel
injector injects fuel in the shape of a fan having a
relatively small thickness. The cavity has guide walls
for preventing fuel from excessively spreading in the
direction of width of the fan shape as it proceeds on the
bottom wall.

the actuator second portion (372). The position sensing
device (200) determines the position of the object (100)
by electronically and mechanically tracking distinct
features on the surface (182). The electronic component
of the tracking involves determining the position of the
distinct features relative to the two-dimensional
photosensor array (230). The mechanical component of the
tracking involves moving the two-dimensional photosensor
array (230) to track the distinct features.

Abstract: The DVD Standard specifies how, for example, subtitles can be overlaid on a video picture in a simple way. According to this Standard, in each case one so-called sub-picture data unit must be provided on a DVD disk per overlay. The DVD Standard does not contain any information as to how horizontally moving objects can also be displayed in a display window using such sub-picture data units, for example to provide a running script. The aim of the invention is to make it possible to produce horizontally moving objects such as running scripts, using the rules and instructions specified in the DVD Standard, while optimizing the memory requirement. The invention achieves the object by using a specific type of run-length coding in conjunction with a special way of combining object picture segments. The invention relates to a corresponding method for coding a picture sequence, and a corresponding sub-picture data unit as well as a data storage medium.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting data in a data communications network, using
a transmission control protocol, to provide reduced acknowledgment control traffic, error recovery
and congestion control. A communications link is established between a transmitter and a receiver.
Setting the communications link includes setting a network congestion window to an initial length.
A sequence, or stream, of data packets is sent from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver
detects any missing packers, by examining the sequence numbers of the incoming packets, and sends
negative acknowledgments, generally no more than four, to the transmitter identifying the missing
data packet. When the transmitter receives a negative acknowledgment, it decreases the length of
the congestion window, and re-transmits the missing packet. Detection and use of round-trip time,
re-transmission time-out are provided.
