Patent EP-2096452-A1 (EP)
Inventor: UGAJI MASAYA
IPC: H01M4/48
Filed: 2008-12-11
Abstract: In a lifetime estimating method for a rechargeable lithium battery, the open circuit voltages of the rechargeable lithium battery after discharging for at least two different charge/discharge cycle numbers are detected while charge/discharge cycles go on. Next, at least the two of the voltage values are plotted for respective cycle numbers, and a circular arc passing the plotted points is drawn. Furthermore, the lifetime of the rechargeable lithium battery is estimated based on a size of the circular arc. The progression of deterioration can be suppressed by controlling the charge and discharge of the rechargeable lithium battery based on the lifetime estimation.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un jeu pour lequel plusieurs joueurs sont reliés de manière communicative avec un réseau. La progression des états d'action du jeu est suivie. Les états d'action portent sur des événements qui se produisent durant le jeu et sur une situation de chacun des joueurs qui correspond auxdits événements. Lorsqu'un premier état d'action est atteint, et qu'un joueur est supposé émettre une première vocifération en fonction de sa situation par rapport à un événement de jeu qui se produit en association avec le premier état d'action, on détecte si ladite vocifération est émise. La première vocifération est capturée. Elle peut être envoyée aux autres joueurs de manière asynchrone par rapport à sa capture, et peut être rendue localement.

Abstract: A high-resolution image device that is used to receive images in a variable depth of field environment may include a color image sensor, a panchromatic image sensor, and a measuring device. The color image sensor may be configured to receive a color image of an object. Similarly, a synchronous panchromatic image may be received by the panchromatic image sensor. To generate a fine spatial color image with higher resolution than the image received by the color image sensor, the image device may be configured to replace a luminance component from the original color image with a luminance component from the panchromatic image. However, due to a spatial difference between apertures of the color and panchromatic image sensors, parallax error may occur due to a perceived shift of the imaged object against a reference background in the color and panchromatic images. The measuring device may be configured to measure a distance between the image sensors and the object, such that the image device may be configured to use the distance to account for the effect of parallax.

Abstract: A thermally switched absorptive optical shutter (100) may be a self-regulating "switchable absorber" device that may absorb approximately 100% of incoming light above a threshold temperature, and may absorb approximately 50% of incoming light below a threshold temperature. The shutter (100) may be formed by placing a thermotropic depolarizer (102) between two absorptive polarizers (101, 103). This control over the flow of radiant energy may occur independently of the thermal conductivity or insulation of the shutter device (100) and may or may not preserve the image and color properties of incoming visible light. This has energy-efficiency implications as it can be used to regulate the internal temperature and illumination of buildings, vehicles, and other structures without the need for an external power supply or operator signals. It also has aesthetic implications since the shutter device (100) has unique optical properties that are not found in traditional windows, skylights, stained glass, light fixtures, glass blocks, bricks, or walls. Additionally, the shutter device (100) may have application as a building material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting packet data units (PDU) from a eNodeB via a relay node to a mobile node. The relay node determines whether each PDU from the eNB is appropriate for the current channel conditions to the MN. Consequently, only if PDU is appropriate for the channel quality, same is transmitted. If not, eNB re-transmits the PDU according to current channel conditions. Moreover, the MN when failing to decode a PDU correctly, requests the re-transmission of said PDU from the eNB via a status report. The relay node intercepts said status report and learns which PDU(s) are to be re-transmitted. The relay node determines whether the unsuccessful PDUs are still available in its transport buffer or not andonly carries out the re-transmission if the PDU is in its buffer. If not, the re-transmission of said unsuccessful PDU is performed by the eNB.

Abstract: Low cost isotropic and/or mesophase pitch is used to densify carbon fiber preforms by VPI and/or RTM equipment in place of CVI/CVD processing, for reduced manufacturing cycle times and costs and reduced need for expensive densification equipment. The process includes: heat treating a carbon fiber preform; infiltrating the preform with a pitch feedstock by VPI and/or RTM; carbonizing the pitch-infiltrated carbon fiber preform at 1200-2450°C with a hold time of 4 hrs to ensure the entire furnace reaches the max temperature; repetition of the pitch infiltration and carbonization steps until the density of the preform is about 1.7 g/cc or higher; and a final heat-treatment of the densified composite. Brake discs manufactured in this way have higher densities and better thermal characteristics, which result in improved mechanical properties and friction and wear performance as compared with conventional CVI/CVD-densified brake discs.
