Patent EP-1607593-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MINATO AKIHIKO
IPC: F01L9/20
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling a closing operation of an exhaust valve (11) in an internal combustion engine. A current position X 0  of the exhaust valve (11) and a rotation speed Ne of the internal combustion engine are determined, and on the basis of the current position X 0  and rotation speed Ne, a time T 0  at which a piston arrives at the current position X 0  of the exhaust valve (11) is calculated. The closing operation of the exhaust valve (11) is then started before this arrival time T 0 . Next, a time T 1  at which the gap between the exhaust valve (11) and piston reaches a first predetermined value hc1 is calculated, and when this time T 1  arrives, the closing operation of the exhaust valve (11) is stopped temporarily. A time T 2  at which the piston arrives at the stopping position X 1  of the exhaust valve (11) is then calculated, and the closing operation of the exhaust valve (11) is resumed before this arrival time T 2 .

Abstract: A noise suppressing fastener 125 is described for securing two components 112 and 114 to one another. The fastener comprises a bolt 120 having a head and a screw threaded shank 122 to pass through aligned holes in the two components, a nut 124 for threading onto the shank 122 of the bolt, a spacer tube 130 of rigid material surrounding the shank 122 to couple the nut and bolt acoustically to a first 112 of the two components, and a bush 132 of sound isolating material surrounding the spacer tube 130 to decouple the nut and bolt acoustically from the second component 114. In the invention, a washer 128 is formed integrally with the spacer tube 130, the sound isolating bush 132 is bonded to the outer surface of the spacer tube 130 and to the washer and a second tube 140 of a rigid material, which in use is acoustically decoupled from the first component 112, is bonded to the radially outer surface of the bush 132 to prevent radial contact between the bush and the second component.

Abstract: A system and method for generating synthetic speech is disclosed. The invention operates in a computer implemented Text-To-Speech system comprising at least a speaker database that has been previously created from user recordings, a Front-End system to receive an input text and a Text-To-Speech engine. Particularly, the Front-End system generates multiple phonetic transcriptions for each word of the input text, and the TTS engine is using a cost function to select which phonetic transcription is the more appropriate for searching the speech segments within the speaker database to be concatenated and synthesized.

Abstract: A device is provided with at least one light emitting device (LED) die mounted on a submount with an optical element subsequently thermally bonded to the LED die. The LED die is electrically coupled to the submount through contact bumps that have a higher temperature melting point than is used to thermally bond the optical element to the LED die. In one implementation, a single optical element is bonded to a plurality of LED dice that are mounted to the submount and the submount and the optical element have approximately the same coefficients of thermal expansion. Alternatively, a number of optical elements may be used. The optical element or LED die may be covered with a coating of wavelength converting material. In one implementation, the device is tested to determine the wavelengths produced and additional layers of the wavelength converting material are added until the desired wavelengths are produced.

Abstract: Eine Mehrzahl von Hohlkörpern (1) ist frei beweglich in einer Hülle angeordnet. Die Hohlkörper (1) enthalten ein Kälte oder Wärme speicherndes Medium (2). Letzteres kann dadurch nicht zu einer einzigen, die Hülle füllende Masse zusammenfrieren. Die Hülle schmiegt sich somit gerade auch im medizinisch wirksamen, eiskalten Zustand optimal an die zu kühlende Körperpartie. Die beim Patienten verwendete und mit Körper- oder Wundflüssigkeiten in Kontakt gekommene Hülle kann entsorgt werden. Die darin geschützten Hohlkörper (1) können hingegen wieder verwendet werden. Das problematische Reinigen und Sterilisieren bisheriger, mit Gel gefüllter Beutel entfällt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of immune disorders, especially T helper (TH) cell and TH cell-like related disorders. First, genes are identified and described which are differentially expressed within and among TH cells and TH cell subpopulations. Second, genes are identified and described which are differentially expressed within TH cell subpopulations in TH cell subpopulation-related disorders. The modulation of the expression of the identified genes and/or activity of the identified gene products can be utilized therapeutically to ameliorate immune disorder symptoms and to modulate TH cell responsiveness, for example, responsiveness to antigen. Further, the identified genes and/or gene products can be used to diagnose individuals exhibiting or predisposed to such immune disorders. Still further, the identified genes and/or gene products can be used to detect TH cell responsiveness, for example, responsivenem to antigen.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to allow easier acquisition of image data having the necessary luminosity range. The pixel value distribution detecting unit detects the distribution of the pixel values of the input image data, constituted by pixel values that are substantially proportional to the logarithm of the quantity of incident light. The extraction range setting means sets one or more extraction ranges, which are ranges of predetermined pixel values and have the same width, on the basis of the distribution of the pixel values of the input image data. The image extraction unit produces processed image data by extracting pixels having pixel values contained in the extraction ranges from the input image data, and supplies the processed image data thus produced to the image detecting unit. The present invention can be used in image detection devices.

Abstract: Air-fuel ratio control system for an engine (1) having a catalyst purifying exhaust gases, first oxygen sensor (17) disposed upstream of the catalyst (14a), and second oxygen sensor (18) disposed downstream. Intake air flow rate (GAIR) is detected. An amount of oxygen (OS) flowing into the catalyst (14a) is calculated using oxygen concentration (KACT) detected by the first sensor (17) and the detected intake air flow rate (GAIR). The air-fuel ratio is alternately controlled to lean and rich by comparison between the calculated oxygen amount (OS) and target values (OSOBJR,OSOBJL). A rich oxygen amount (OSCR) and a lean oxygen amount (OSCL) are calculated. A correction amount (PO2C) for correcting the first sensor output is calculated based on the rich oxygen amount (OSCR), the lean oxygen amount (OSCL), and an accumulated value (GAIRSUM) of the detected intake air flow rate (GAIR). The oxygen concentration (KACTM) corrected with the correction amount (PO2C) is used for calculating the inflowing oxygen amount (OS), the rich operation oxygen amount (OSCR), and the lean operation oxygen amount (OSCL).
