Patent EP-0508825-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FUKUYAMA KENSUKE
IPC: B60G17/015
Filed: 1992-04-10
Abstract: The suspension control system serves to adjust wheel loads acting on driven wheels (10RL,10RR) when a wheel speed difference between the driven wheels is greater than a preselected value, concluding that slippage occurs at one of the driven wheels. The adjustment is carried out for securing traction of a slipping driven wheel. The system is responsive to lateral acceleration (Y G ) acting on the vehicle body to decrease the degree of adjustment of the wheel loads according to increase in the lateral acceleration, for enhancing cornering stability on road surfaces having different friction coefficients.

Abstract: A method for generating a functional test for a loaded printed circuit board automatically generates a test for a cluster of elements which may be tested together as a functional unit by pattern matching with pre-defined cluster models contained in a library. The method comprises the following steps. First, an electrical description of the printed circuit board is analyzed (step 302) to identify (step 304) any clusters of elements which match any pre-defined cluster models. When a match is found, a generic test routine is retrieved (step 306) from the model and used to generate (step 324) a functional test for the cluster of elements on the printed circuit board. Thereafter, tests are generated (step 324) for remaining, non-clustered devices by matching (step 314) each device to a generic model within a device models library (108), and then retrieving (step 314) a generic test routine therefrom.

Abstract: A magneto-optical disc includes a substrate, a recording layer, and a protective coating comprised of a resin and a lubricant. The disc is operated for magneto-optical recording in a magnetic field modulation mode such that the protective coating is in sliding contact with a magnetic head. The lubricant is a higher fatty acid ester R¹-COO-R² wherein R¹ is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic C₁₀-C₃₀ hydrocarbon residue, and R² is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic C₁₀-C₃₀ hydrocarbon residue. Alternatively, the protective coating is formed by curing with radiation a composition containing a lubricant and a radiation-curable compound such that micropores are locally formed in or near the outer surface of the protective coating, the lubricant being distributed in the micropores. In either case, the protective coating is effective for minimizing friction with the magnetic head.

Abstract: A communication system includes an interrogator for transmitting an interrogation signal generated on the basis of a communication reference time length. A responder is operative for decoding the interrogation signal from the interrogator at a given reception timing. The interrogator transmits a communication reference signal before a transmission of a communication signal. The communication reference signal represents the communication reference time length. The responder measures the communication reference time length represented by the communication reference signal transmitted from the interrogator. The responder sets the reception timing in accordance with the measured communication reference time length.

Abstract: A computer-controlled graphics display system (11) providing improved means for selecting objects for joint action. The invention helps the user of a graphical user interface more easily select a group of objects that are meaningfully related to each other. Objects (47,48,49) are usually created serially in time by a user, but they are typically selected by spatial grouping in graphical user interfaces. The invention shows that such a spatial grouping can be refined by considering the temporal grouping of objects. Algorithms are proposed which combine both spatial and temporal grouping to produce the most appropriate grouping of objects, i.e., groupings that most likely conform to the user's intentions.

IPC: G06F9/48

Abstract: To speed up interrupt processing by interrupt handlers executing with interrupts disabled, one or more processor registers in the computer system are reserved for exclusive use by software executing with interrupt disabled. Interrupt processing code can be written in a high level language. If the code generated by the high level language compiler uses non-reserved registers, these registers are saved by the interrupt handler in the reserved registers before the interrupt processing code is invoked. After execution of the interrupt processing code, the interrupt handler restores the non-reserved registers from the reserved registers. Saving the non-reserved registers in the reserved registers rather than in a memory improves the interrupt processing speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a telephone configurable as a programmable microcomputer (telephone-computer) which operates in most circumstances through a standard telephone 12-key keypad input. The telephone-computer includes telephone electronics and a microprocessor unit operated in conjunction with other computer elements, including memory devices and a programmable gate array (PGA) chip and enhanced integrity features, and has the overall appearance of a telephone. The PGA has the capability of being reconfigured to accommodate various types of softwares which require different hardware configuration, but without actually reconfiguring the hardware. The telephone-computer delivers data processing capabilities and services through an ordinary telephone instrument via conventional telephone lines with a network host computer which communicates with a vast panoply of service bureaus. Specifically, operating software is downloaded to the telephone-computer by the network host computer to reconfigure the PGA to format the microprocessor necessary to conform to the software format used by the service bureaus.
