Patent EP-1134397-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SURNILLA GOPICHANDRA
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of
a "lean-burn" internal combustion engine (12) in co-operation
with an exhaust gas purification system having an
emissions control device (34,36) capable of alternatively
storing and releasing NO x  when exposed to exhaust gases that
are lean and rich of stoichiometry, respectively, optimises
vehicle fuel economy while complying with emissions
standards by prohibiting lean engine operation only when
tailpipe emissions, calculated in terms of grams of an
exhaust gas constituent per vehicle mile travelled, exceeds
a permissible threshold value. The threshold value is
preferably itself periodically determined based upon a
detected or determined level of vehicle activity, such that
vehicle activity characterised by greater transient engine
operation prescribes a relatively lower level of permissible
vehicle emissions.

Abstract: A liquid cartridge (10), such as a cartridge for
filling with ink for use in ink jet printhead includes a
wick chamber (22) that has outer walls, including a top
wall (14), and an ink chamber (24) formed of a plurality of
outer walls. A fluid conduit (30) connects the ink chamber
(24) and the wick chamber (22). The outer walls (14,16,18)
of the ink chamber (24) are formed to provide no fluid
communication between the ink chamber (24) and the ambient
environment, except through the fluid conduit (30) and the
wick chamber (22). A vent opening (60) through the top
wall (14) of the wick chamber (22) provides communication
between the wick chamber (22) and the ambient environment,
and an outlet opening (40) through an outer wall other than
the top wall (14) of the wick chamber (22) provides fluid
communication for the ink to flow from the wick chamber
(22). A vent tube extends from the vent opening (60) into
the interior of the wick chamber (22), and projections (64)
extend from the top wall (14) of the wick chamber (22) into
the interior of the wick chamber (22), further than does

Abstract: The present invention relates to a layer jump control apparatus of a
multilayer disk and a method thereof, when a layer jump request between record
layers of the multilayer disk is inputted from outside, a sled, a tracking, and a
focusing servo are converted into inactive state, a microcomputer (800) sets an
operation voltage of an inner focus lens of an optical pickup to allotted ports in
order to transfer the focus lens vertically to the layer jump request direction. The
present invention is capable of jumping accurately and rapidly on a request layer
of the multilayer disk by jumping on a target layer of the multilayer disk accurately
by converting the focusing servo into active state at the jump position of the focus
lens on the basis of a FOK (Focus Okay) signal and a FZC (Focus Zero Crossing) signal detected in accordance with
transferring operation, and adjusting vertical transferring speed of an optical
pickup by considering minus offset of the optical pickup.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a camera with an image recording mode switching function capable of assuredly preventing the generation of a hunting upon switching the image recording mode. [Means for Resolution] An image pick-up signal obtained by a CCD image pick-up element 1 is outputted as a color video signal or a black-and-white video signal in accordance with an image recording mode through processes by an analog signal processing part 2, an A/D converting part 3, a digital signal processing part 4 and a video output part 5. A control part 6 controls all the operations of a camera including a process for determining the image record mode. The image record mode is basically determined in accordance with a luminance signal. The image record mode is set to a color image record mode under a high luminance and set to a black-and-white image record mode under a low luminance. However, when the image pick-up signal is formed under near infrared radiation even in the high luminance, the image record mode is set to the black-and-white image record mode. Whether or not the image pick-up signal is formed by the near infrared radiation is decided by analyzing the color signals of the image pick-up signal.

The electromagnetic clutch (103a ¼ 103d) of the printing unit (100a ¼ 100d) is disengaged, when an abnormality in changing of the plate was detected by any of sensors (9, 11, 17a) provided in each printing unit (100a ¼ 100d) for detecting an abnormality in plate changing, to cut off the drive by the main unit motor (101), but continue plate changing in the other printing units (100a ¼ 100d) by the drive force from the main unit motor (101). Thus, during a restoring operation for the printing unit where the abnormality in supply or removal of the plate was detected, supply or removal of the plates in the other printing units can be continuously performed, so that a plate handling time can be shortened.

Abstract: An image-data recording process is performed when a video output conforms to the PAL system, and uses a display-signal processing section to receive an image data signal having a frame rate of 30 Hz and records that, image data signal in a memory. The processing section converts the image data signal to an image data signal having an NTSC frame rate of 29.97 Hz by a frame-rate conversion method in which thinning out is performed according to the ratio of frame rates. An image signal is output to a display section and a codec-IC interface. The display-signal processing section also converts a PAL frame rate of 25 Hz image data signal, and outputs the signal to a video-output interface. In other words, image data is processed at a frame rate not related to the output, and then converted to image data having a frame rate suited for the output. This invention can be used in digital cameras.
