Abstract: A housing (1, 2, 3) of a compressor has a shutter chamber
(13) for accommodating a shutter (21). The shutter (21) moves
between a closed position, where the shutter (21) stops flow
of gas from an external circuit (35) into a suction chamber
(3a), and an open position, where the shutter (21) permits the
gas flow in response to the tilting motion of a swash plate
(15). A coil spring (24), which has a conical shape, is
located in the shutter chamber (13) to bias the shutter (21)
in a direction toward the open position from the closed
position. The spring (24) is arranged to prevent the spring
(24) from sliding against the inner wall of the shutter
chamber (13) when the spring (24) is expanded or contracted by
movement of the shutter (21).

Abstract: Waste water containing nitrogen compounds is treated by first
breaking the nitrogen compounds down by electrolysis in the presence of
chlorine ions. The electrolysis step converts chlorine ions to hypochlorite
ions. The partially treated water is returned to a storage container. The
hypochlorite ions oxidize the nitrogen compounds and are reconverted to
chlorine atoms. The partially treated water then may be returned to the
electrolysis container to regenerate hypochlorite ions. In a second step, the
partially treated waste water is passed over a metal peroxide catalyst. The
metal peroxide catalyst further breaks down the nitrogen compounds, and
removes the excess hypochlorite ions.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for controlling fuel
injection in an internal combustion engine. An EGR passage
(52) is connected to an intake duct (20) for supplying exhaust
gas, which has been discharged from a combustion chamber (5),
to the intake duct (20). An EGR valve (53) is located in the
EGR passage (52) to adjust the flow rate of the exhaust gas
supplied to the intake duct (20) from the EGR passage (52).
An acceleration pedal (24) adjusts the flow rate of the air
supplied to the combustion chamber (5). An ECU (30) computes
the amount of fuel to be injected from a fuel injection valve
(11) based on the depression degree of the acceleration pedal
(24) and the engine speed when the exhaust gas is supplied to
the intake duct (20) from the EGR passage (52). The ECU (30)
computes the amount of fuel to be injected from the fuel
injection valve (11) based on the intake pressure and the
engine speed when the exhaust gas is not supplied to the
intake duct (20) from the EGR passage (52). The ECU (30)
controls the fuel injection valve (11) based on the computed
fuel injection amount. This prevents intake air fluctuations
caused by exhaust gas recirculation from affecting the
computed fuel injection amount.

Abstract: A user mode proxy of kernel mode operations in a computer
operating system allows drivers operating in the kernel mode of
an operating system to be proxied by a corresponding user mode
object. A user mode process wishing to communicate with or
manipulate the kernel mode driver may perform such
communication or manipulation by communicating with or
manipulating the corresponding user mode proxy. The present
invention has particular applicability to emerging operating
systems which allow kernel mode drivers to be interconnected in
order to create a processing stream in the kernel where data is
passed from kernel mode driver to kernel mode driver without
transitioning to user mode. User mode proxy of such kernel
mode drivers allows user mode processes to manipulate such
kernel mode drivers using familiar user mode protocols without
the necessity of learning new kernel mode protocols.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for quantitative
measurement of a substrate with high accuracy by
electrochemically oxidizing an electron mediator which has
been reduced by enzyme reaction thereby determining the
substrate concentration based on a current flowing during
electrochemical oxidation from which adverse effects of an
easy-to-oxidize substance on the oxidation process have
been minimized. The quantitating method in accordance
with the present invention comprises a first step for
causing a substrate contained in a sample to react with a
specific oxidoreductase to the substrate in the presence
of an electron mediator in oxidized state, and a second
step for electrochemically reducing the electron mediator
in oxidized state which remains non-reduced by the enzyme
reaction in the first step, thereby obtaining a current
flowing during electrochemical reduction.

Abstract: The invention seeks to provide an improved method and apparatus for
detecting the phase difference between a digital data signal and a clock
signal. By ensuring that no pulse in the output phase signal is narrow
enough to introduce a non-linearity, the present invention avoids a source
of non-linearity exhibited in existing phase detectors. 
     In addition, by ensuring that critical timing paths through the circuit contain
similar circuit blocks, with similar propagation delays, relative time
relationships are preserved from clock and data inputs to XOR inputs. The
circuit is therefore largely insensitive to changes in the characteristics of
the components so long as they all move together, as they would in an
integrated circuit implementation. 
     The present invention also seeks to provide an improved digital signal
threshold detector and a digital signal regenerator based on said
apparatus.

Abstract: An out-of-order issue mechanism for a data processing system allows
two out-of-order instructions to be issued to independent "pipes" from a
window of four instructions currently queued for execution. If the two
pipes execute floating pipe operations, dependencies between a
computationally intensive floating point unit instruction (referred to as
an fpu rr instruction) and the two previous computational intensive
instructions having a target and a floating point register (the "fpr
target") are tracked to provide a mechanism that quickly determines when
dependent data is available from one of the floating point unit pipes.
The data is then used to preempt the issue of a dependent instruction
until data is available. Additionally, this out-of-order issue mechanism
recognizes when consecutive instructions are dependent upon a same
operand. In this situation, the mechanism prioritizes the first of the
two instructions to be issued to the pipe satisfying the dependency,
while the second instruction is preempted in favor of issuing an
independent instruction or an instruction whose dependent data has
already been made available to the other pipe when such an instruction is
waiting in a queue.

Abstract: In case a defect in the ink discharge performance
is generated in a nozzle in an ink jet printing head,
the printing is executed by a main scanning operation
of a printing head, excluding data corresponding to
such defective nozzle. Then, a sub-scan is executed by
a width corresponding to the defective nozzle, and the
complementary printing is executed with a complementary
recording nozzle without abnormality, in the returning
main scan. When the total sum of the number of drives
of the complementary recording nozzle exceeds a
predetermined value, the amount of sub-scan for
complementary recording, thereby changing the nozzle
used therefor. In this manner, even in case of
abnormality in a recording element, a defect-free
record can be obtained by the complementary recording,
and a substantial service life of the recording head
can be extended in case of obtaining such defect-free
record by the complementary recording.

Abstract: The audio gate channel is branched off from a digitised input signal of a video channel (I or Q) of a detection channel of the radar unit. The branched signal of the channel is combined with a signal of the detection channel, modified for signal processing gain. The modified signal of the detection channel is formed by the formation of a frequency vector. The vector is formed by a Fast Fourier transformation of the digital input signals, which undergo a weighting function to reduce the spectral side lobe. Complex spectral components are combined to a power spectrum and then integrated. The two channels are combined by forming the convolution product from signals from the detection channel and channel in the frequency domain. The convolution product is formed form the symmetrical and scaled frequency vector of the detection channel and a frequency vector formed by the fast fourier transformation of the audio gate channel.
