Patent EP-1045123-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAVIS GEORGE CARVER
IPC: F02D37/00
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: An engine control method for an internal combustion
engine having a powertrain control module (PCM). The
powertrain control module includes a microprocessor and
associated memory. A mathematical model of the engine cycle
of the engine system is stored in the PCM memory. The PCM
continuously monitors a variety of engine operating
parameters. From these inputs, the PCM generates optimised
control setpoints for the intake airflow, fuelling right,
spark timing and EGR flow for the engine using the
mathematical model. The setpoints are generated in real-time
for every engine cycle, and the engine is then operated
in accordance with the generated control setpoints. In
another aspect of the invention, the engine model includes
submodels for fuel delivery, the in-cylinder processes, the
engine heat capacitance and cooling system, engine friction,
airflow, engine inertia, and the front-end auxiliary drive.
The disclosed engine control method is advantageous in that
it allows optimum engine performance in any operating
environment.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a moving
picture storage module stores moving picture data. A
scene designation module designates at least one scene
in the moving picture data, and sets a key frame and
importance level of the designated scene. A frame
feature extraction module acquires an image feature
amount of the designated key frame. A scene feature
information storage module generates scene feature
information including the duration, key frame,
importance level, and image feature amount of the key
frame of the scene designated by the scene designation
module, and stores the generated information in a
memory in correspondence with the moving picture data.
Based on the scene feature information, digest playback
for playing back only principal part of the designated
moving picture data is executed, or desired moving
picture data is found by a similar image search using
the key frame.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement (300, 400) for determining the location of
partial discharge sources in an electric system, the method comprising the
steps of measuring a variable of the electric system, such as voltage or
current, to which partial discharges occurring in the electric system cause
pulses, separating the pulses caused by partial discharges, i.e. partial
discharge pulses, and occurring in the measured variable, defining (301) one
or more characteristic parameters depicting the properties of partial discharge
pulses for each partial discharge pulse after at least a predefined number of
partial discharge pulses has been obtained, and determining (302) the location
of the partial discharge source by placing (302) the obtained characteristic
parameters in a model formed in advance, which depicts the dependency of
the values of the characteristic parameters from the distance between the
partial discharge source and the measuring point where the characteristic
parameters have been defined on the basis of the measured variables.

Abstract: An infrared sensor device for motor-vehicles,
designed to detect the presence of an overtaking
vehicle, comprising at least two cells sensitive to
infrared radiation, placed on one side of the
reflecting plate on the outside rear view mirror of a
motor-vehicle, behind focusing optics (5). Each cell
(8) emits a signal proportional to the infrared
radiation it receives. An electronic circuit emits a
global signal proportional to the difference between
the signals emitted by the two cells (8), so that said
global signal enables the presence of an overtaking
vehicle to be distinguished from that of other vehicles
travelling in the opposite direction, as well as
avoiding false alarms due to electronic and
electromagnetic noise.

Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de répartition des offres d'achats conditionnelles dans un système de commerce électronique dirigé par les acheteurs entre plusieurs vendeurs agissant pour des agences ou selon un principe de diffusion. Dans un mode de réalisation, le système détermine les vendeurs agissant pour des agences ou selon un principe de diffusion qui satisfont aux offres d'achats conditionnelles et les classe selon un ordre de priorité. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la priorité est déterminée par la part de marché relative et le nombre des possibilités récentes de satisfaire aux offres d'achats conditionnelles. Un des modes de réalisation prévoit la détermination de la priorité au moyen des mesures et des informations sur l'acheteur; dans un autre mode de réalisation, la priorité est déterminée de façon aléatoire. Le système fait en sorte que lorsque un acheteur peut satisfaire aux offres d'achats conditionnelles à plusieurs niveaux de prix, le niveau de prix le plus élevé satisfait ces offres d'achats conditionnelles, ce qui assure au vendeur un revenu maximal pour chaque offre d'achat conditionnelle.

Abstract: A machine is described which includes a rotating container (5), e.g. a washing machine. To balance the rotating container one or more chambers (6a to f) may be located on the outer rim of the container. These chambers may be filled with water to provide compensation for any out-of-balance forces. At least a portion of the water which is used for balancing is removed from the balancing chambers when the container no longer rotates and is stored (14) ready for use in the next operation cycle of the machine. Balancing chambers may be placed in two separate planes or in a single plane. To achieve this, each plane of balancing chambers has a separate water feed (8). The two planes of chambers may also have separate water extraction systems (9a to f). Injection of water can be triggered by the out-of-balance movement or out-of-balance forces exerted by the rotating container. <IMAGE>

Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: In a moving image encoding apparatus of this invention, a generated bit amount extracting section (21) counts generated bits of variable-length-encoded data in units of macroblocks, and a reference generated bit count is set in a parameter value control section (22) as an update condition for a parameter value in each block. The boundary value of the parameter value is set in an intra/inter determination section (23) as a criterion for selection of the intra-encoding mode. In the inter-frame encoding mode, the parameter value control section (22) updates the parameter value of a block in which the generated bit count value of encoded data obtained by the generated bit amount extracting section (21) exceeds a reference value. The intra/inter determination section (23) determines that the influence of a data error is large in a block in which the parameter value is continuously updated and exceeds the boundary value, and switches the current mode to the intra-encoding mode to perform refresh operation.

Abstract: In order to provide technology where film deposition speed and
Sr/Ti composition ratio is constant even when forming
dielectric films consecutively on a plurality of substrates
using sputtering techniques, a sputtering apparatus of the
present invention is provided with an opposing electrode
located about the periphery of a mounting table at an inner
bottom surface of a vacuum chamber. Further, a multiplicity
of holes are formed at the surface of the opposing electrode
so that the surface area of the opposing electrode is large.
Sputtered dielectric material becomes affixed to the surface
of the opposing electrode so that a dielectric film is formed
at this surface. The charge density of charge distributed at
the surface of the opposing electrode is therefore small
compared with the related art even when positive charge is
distributed. The potential of the opposing electrode surface
can therefore be kept substantially at earth potential.
Discharges within the vacuum chamber are therefore stable
because the potential of the surface of the opposing electrode
is kept substantially at earth potential. It is therefore
difficult for the fluctuations in film thickness distribution
and film deposition speed and instabilities in the discharges
that occur in the related art to occur.
