Patent EP-1361487-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKEI TOSHIKI
IPC: H02P5/00
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: Control data is efficiently serially transferred to a motor drive device (12) for driving a motor without
involving the CPU. Specific memory addresses are allocated to data buffers (BF1 - BFn). An
address decoder (42) decodes a memory address output to an address bus (30) and applies a write
enable signal to the corresponding data buffer to write data to the data buffer by DMA transfer.
When data is written to any data buffer, a sequencer circuit (44) stores control data compiled based
on data in data buffers BF1 - BFn in a shift register 46, and serially transfers the control data to a
serial transfer line (20) synchronized to a clock.

Abstract: A control apparatus is provided for a valve actuating system (1) which is operable to lift an intake valve (2) or an exhaust valve (37) of an internal combustion engine and includes a lift characteristic changing mechanism for changing a lift characteristic of the intake valve or the exhaust valve. The control apparatus calculates a target operation value of the lift characteristic changing mechanism, and calculates a realizable range of the operation value which can be realized by the lift characteristic changing mechanism, based on a controlled variable that can be given to the lift characteristic changing mechanism and at least one parameter related to an environment surrounding the lift characteristic changing mechanism. If the target operation value is not within the realizable range of the operation value, the control apparatus calculates a new target operation value to be within the realizable range.

Abstract: The present invention provides a memory device with a N-MOS self-termination scheme
which enables or disables the device to eliminate ringing and line reflections in a memory device
such as a DDR SDRAM. The self-termination is achieved by using a weak N-MOS transistor.
The N-MOS transistors are within the device and has an impedance of two to eight times of the
characteristic impedance of a communication path in a memory device such as DRAM or
SRDAM. The communication path is generally a read/write or command/address bus. The self-termination
scheme terminates line reflections occurring in a device receiving data during non
productive time duration of system clock. The present invention provides a method by which
random access memories perform with faster settling time for data inputs and a high system
performance.

Abstract: A multi-value data recording and reproducing
device is provided that can accurately eliminate
interference among codes through waveform
equalization when reproducing information from a
reproduction signal having levels multi-valued
through modulation of the areas of recording marks on
an optical information recording medium. This multi-value
data recording and reproducing device is
embodied by a multi-value data detecting circuit that
varies the sizes of the recording marks in accordance
with multi-value data (0, 1, 2, ..., (m-1): m being
an integer of 3 or greater) on the optical
information recording medium, and detects the multi-value
data through predetermined signal processing on
signals obtained by scanning the recording marks with
an optical spot. This multi-value data detecting
circuit includes: a predictor that predictively
determines the multi-value data; a delay unit that
delays the predetermined signal processing by the
period of time required for the predictive
determination by the predictor; and a determiner that
determines the multi-value data through waveform
equalization based on predictive data that are the
predictive determination results from the predictor.
