Abstract: In a hollow bicycle rim 16 a plurality of tubular reinforcement members 13 are coupled to
inner and outer openings 33, 43. Each of the reinforcement members 13 has an internal
abutment surface 56 within an internal passageway 54 designed to engage an enlarged head
of a spoke 14 to couple spokes 14 to the rim 16. The inner and outer ends of the reinforcement
members 13 are secured to the inner and outer openings to prevent inner and outward
movement of the reinforcement members 13, respectively. Each reinforcement member 13
preferably has a pre-formed retaining surface and one or more deformed retaining surface to
prevent inner and outer movement. Optionally, each reinforcement member 13 can include
a threaded connection instead of one or more the deformed retaining surfaces. Seal members
are optionally mounted in the reinforcement members 13 so that a tubeless tire can be
used.

Abstract: In a VCT system (10a), a method uses a controller to automatically determine a state of a phaser (42) based on an identifier (50). The identifier (50) identifies a filtered signal (48) of the crank shaft (24) and cam shaft (22)and uses the same to identify the phaser state. A reset signal (52)is generated by the identifier (50) to reset the VCT system (10a), specifically to reset a control law (18) whereby the unnecessary information retained by the VCT system (10a) is cleared. Therefore, the controller is able to promptly and accurately determine (70) the phaser position and state.

Abstract: In a speech synthesis process, micro-segments are
cut from acquired waveform data and a window function.
The obtained micro-segments are re-arranged to
implement a desired prosody, and superposed data is
generated by superposing the re-arranged micro-segments,
so as to obtain synthetic speech waveform data. A
spectrum correction filter is formed based on the
acquired waveform data. At least one of the waveform
data, micro-segments, and superposed data is corrected
using the spectrum correction filter. In this way,
"blur" of a speech spectrum due to the window function
applied to obtain micro-segments is reduced, and speech
synthesis with high sound quality is realized.

Abstract: A trench MOSFET (20) is formed by creating a trench (19) for a gate electrode (14) in a semiconductor
substrate (13), then forming a barrier layer (30) over a portion of the side wall of the trench (19).
A thick insulating layer (21) is deposited in the bottom of the trench. The barrier layer
(30) is selected such that the thick insulating layer (21) deposits in the bottom of the trench (19)
at a faster rate than the thick insulating layer (21) deposits on the barrier layer (30). Embodiments
of the present invention avoid stress and reliability problems associated with thermal
growth of insulating layers, and avoid problems with control of the shape and thickness
of the thick insulating layer encountered when a thick insulating layer is deposited, then
etched to the proper shape and thickness.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mirror device motor
control circuit that can reliably stop a mirror at predetermined
positions with a simple configuration. In the control circuit
of the invention, part of a lock current flowing to the motor flows
to a base terminal of a transistor. Thus, as long as a voltage
corresponding to the lock current is equal to or greater than a
specific value, this voltage is applied to the base terminal of
the transistor, whereby between a collector terminal and an
emitter terminal becomes conductive, and the current flowing to
a gate of a MOSFET is grounded via the collector terminal and the
emitter terminal of the transistor. For this reason, when the
lock current flows, conduction between a drain terminal and a base
terminal of the MOSFET is released and a drive current of the motor
is cut off.
