Patent EP-0850813-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAWADA MAMORU
IPC: B60T8/24
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: A brake system has wheel cylinders (4, 5, 34, 35)
for producing a braking force in wheels using pressurized
brake fluid transmitted through a main conduit (A, E) from a
master cylinder (2), a reservoir (3) for storing brake fluid,
a sideslip preventing device (60) for when a sideslip state
of the vehicle is detected supplying brake fluid to the wheel
cylinder corresponding to a sideslip controlled wheel and
producing a braking force in the sideslip controlled wheel, a
first conduit (D) used for supplying brake fluid from the
reservoir to the wheel cylinders by a pump (9) and a first
valve (15) for switching this first conduit between an open
state and a closed state. The sideslip preventing device,
when the sideslip state is detected during non-braking of the
vehicle, makes the first valve open-state and thereby
conducts supply of brake fluid through the first conduit from
the reservoir to the wheel cylinder by the pump. When the
sideslip state is detected during braking of the vehicle, the
sideslip preventing device makes the first valve device
closed-state and thereby prohibits supply of brake fluid from
the reservoir to the wheel cylinder.

Abstract: A video decoder is provided wherein digitized samples (C) of an input video signal (A) are produced (12) at a fixed sampling rate (B) and, from such digitized samples, a fixed number of re-sampled digitized samples are produced (24) for each detected sync pulse (D) included in the video signal (A). The re-sampled digitized samples (E) are stored in a buffer memory (32) and are retrieved from such buffer memory (32) at a rate (H) synchronized (16,20,22) to the sync pulse (D). With such an arrangement, the analog to digital converter (12) operates at a fixed sampling rate, and overflow situations are avoided.

Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode switching system including a core switch
section (CS102) in an output buffer-type configuration which has an ATM switching
function between high-rate input and output ports, an input buffer module section
(IXB20) which multiplexes plural low-rate input lines to the high-rate input port of
the core switch section, and an output buffer module section (OXB30) which separates
the output of a high-rate output port of the CS into plural low-rate output lines. The
IBX enables queuing for each output line and each service class. The OXB enables
queuing for output line and service class accommodated by itself. When the buffer
occupancy exceeds a threshold value, the OXB originates a cell inhibiting signal to
the CS. When the queue length for each output port exceeds a threshold value, the
CS originates the cell inhibiting signal to all IXBs. The IXB controls to stop a cell
transmission according to the cell inhibiting signal. An execution throughout is
increased by suppressing occurrence of congestion inside an ATM exchange. The
evenness of throughput is guaranteed between virtual channels using the same output
line.

     Actions to be performed by the apparatus can include
starting, reversing and stopping of an electric motor,
increasing and decreasing its number of revolutions,
playing tones for generating melodies, simulating
everyday life sounds, such a the sound of a truck engine.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method to transmit data to a company's data system by a mobile phone connected to a mobile communications network, and receive an acknowledgment to the same mobile phone from the company's data system. A preset target number dialed by a mobile phone is directed to an intelligent network center. The target number is decoded into data which is transmitted to a company's data system during the connection. The intelligent network center uses the caller's identifying number to check whether the caller is entitled to use the service, and to check to which information system of which company the data has been sent. The intelligent network center transmits a telecommunications network signaling the target number, caller's number and address of the company's to a voice server computer capable of identifying telephone numbers and formulate voice messages. The voice server converts the target number into data and transmits the data and the caller's number to the company's data system using a data network protocol. The company's data system stores the data in the data system and formulates a return message, which includes an acknowledgment of the received data and further a possible additional information, and transmits it to the voice server using the data network. The voice server transmits using the mobile communications network the return message either as a GSM short message or as a voice message to the mobile station which transmitted the data code, or as a pager message to a desired pager device.

Abstract: A vector map representation of page information to
perform trapping. The vector map representation combines
the positive attributes of both raster and vector based
representations to make trapping more efficient by
combining the sparseness of the vector representation and
the constant unit complexity of the raster
representation. In the preferred embodiment of the
invention, a page is defined by tiles, and each tile is
mapped to a 2-D array of edge pointers referred to as the
vector map. Each cell in the vector map contains a list
of all of the edges of the image that pass through it. A
pair of edges can only interact if they are in the same
vector map cell list. Thus, edge intersection and color
finding tests are localized as with raster based trapping
while the data sparseness of vector based trapping is
retained. For a suitably chosen vector map size, a single
edge generally does not intersect many cells. A trapping
function is applied to edges as determined from the
vector map.

Abstract: A current to voltage conversion circuit is formed of a
differential amplifier circuit (1) with a negative input terminal
connected to a light receiving element (3) and a register (4) which
feeds back an output signal to the negative input terminal of the
differential amplifier circuit (1) thereof. The variable gain
amplifier circuit (5) amplifies the output voltage of the current
to voltage conversion circuit to detect the bottom value of the
output signal thereof. The comparator circuit (7) compares the
bottom value with the reference value Vrl so that current flowing
through the resistor (4) can be adjusted according to the
difference between the bottom value and the reference value Vrl.
The offset of the output signal from the variable gain amplifier
circuit (5) supplied through the output terminal OUT is thereby
adjusted. Since the peak value of the output signal of the
variable gain amplifier circuit (5) is detected and the gain of
the variable gain amplifier circuit (5) is controlled according
to the difference between the peak value and the reference value
Vr2, an output signal of a predetermined level can be obtained.

Abstract: An air regulated two cycle engine is disclosed which
is designed to meet with the problems of a conventional two
cycle engine, a poor fuel economy, an unsatisfied capability
to limit pollution and a failure to produce a desired torque
output, arising from the fact that a considerable portion of
fuel gas is lost through the exhaust port that remains opened
during a compress and admit stroke time interval of the
engine. The improved engine is provided with an air intake
port (16) that is selectively opened by the piston (1) moving to
effect a compress and admit stroke to draw air from an
outside atmosphere into the cylinder (2) inside space. The
engine that may otherwise be of a conventional design forces
air so taken to transfer into the combustion chamber (9) in a
fuel transfer stroke time interval and then to regulate an
exposition of fuel gas in the combustion chamber (9) so as to
maintain fuel gas unburnt therein to lie always in a layer
substantially remote from the exhaust port. The piston (1) may
be formed in a piston skirt (1a) with a slit that provides an air
passage between the air intake port and the cylinder inside
space. Preferably, the air intake port (16) is provided with an
air flow regulating valve (18) that may act to adjust the torque
output of the engine, and an air cleaner (19).
