Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods to improve the performance and emission control of internal combustion engines equipped with nitrogen oxides storage-reduction ("NSR") emission control systems. The system generally includes a NSR catalyst, a fuel processor located upstream of the NSR catalyst, and at least one fuel injection port. The fuel processor converts a fuel into a reducing gas mixture comprising CO and H<SUB>2</SUB>. The reducing gas mixture is then fed into the NSR catalyst, where it regenerates the NSR adsorbent, reduces the NO<SUB>x </SUB>to nitrogen, and optionally periodically desulfates the NSR catalyst. The fuel processor generally includes one or more catalysts, which facilitate reactions such as combustion, partial oxidation, and/or reforming and help consume excess oxygen present in an engine exhaust stream. The methods of the present invention provide for NSR catalyst adsorbent regeneration. Control strategies are provided to control the system and methods of the invention.

Abstract: An electronic camera according to the present invention includes an imaging part, a
conditional information determining part, a storage part and a correction processing part.
The imaging part images a subject to produce image data. The conditional information
determining part determines conditional information that is indicative of the conditions of
the subject at a time when the subject is imaged. The storage part stores previous
conditional information determined by the conditional information determining part. The
correction processing part performs correction processings on the image data, according to
both the previous conditional information stored in the storage part and the latest
conditional information determined by the conditional information determining part. This
enables results of the previous correction processings to be reflected in the current
processing, thereby realizing the correction processing with both adaptability and stability.

Abstract: Scissor lift device (2) comprising a bottom
frame (4) and an upper frame (10) carried by parallel oriented pairs of shearing arms
(12), where the shearing arms are arranged for folding under the action of an actuator
(18) with mainly horizontal orientation. The peculiar features of the device are constituted
in that only the two first shearing arms (14) under the crossing point (20) of the
shearing arms are rotary connected with upper ends of V-shaped knee joints (22), the
V-shaped knee joint (22) constituting a part of a connection that converts the axial
movement of the actuator to an up-and-down movement of the upper frame (10). The
construction of the lift device implies greater freedom of choice with regard to the
position of the shearing arms on the bottom frame, and implies also a modest constructional
height combined with a relative great lifting height, the former substantially
corresponding to the total height of the bottom frame (4) and the upper frame
(10).
