Patent EP-0739790-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SADERHOLM DAVIN G
IPC: B60R21/2165
Filed: 1996-04-23
Abstract: An air bag cushion (16) having variable volume. The air bag includes a front wall (18) having a central region (20) for contacting the passenger, and a periphery (22). This periphery is connected to respective peripheries (28, 40) of both an intermediate rear wall (24) and an outer rear wall (36). Both of these rear walls are operatively connected to a gas generator (12), but the outer rear wall has a larger area than the intermediate rear wall. The generator (12) provides gas to initially inflate the volume (32) defined between the front wall and intermediate wall. The intermediate wall, however, is connected to the gas generator in a manner which permits its release upon exceeding a predetermined pressure within the bag. Above this pressure the intermediate wall (24) is released and the gas inflates the larger volume defined between the front wall (18) and the outer rear wall (36). As such, if a small amount of gas is produced, such as for a minor collision or due to reduced ambient temperature, the smaller volume is inflated to the proper pressure. If a greater amount of gas is generated, such as for a major collision or due to increased ambient temperature, the larger volume is inflated to provide the proper pressure.

Abstract: A computer system includes a program executer that executes verifiable architecture neutral programs and a class loader that prohibits the loading and execution of non-verifiable programs unless (A) the non-verifiable program resides in a trusted repository of such programs, or (B) the non-verifiable program is indirectly verifiable by way of a digital signature on the non-verifiable program that proves the program was produced by a trusted source. In the preferred embodiment, verifiable architecture neutral programs are Java bytecode programs whose integrity is verified using a Java bytecode program verifier. The non-verifiable programs are generally architecture specific compiled programs generated with the assistance of a compiler. Each architecture specific program typically includes two signatures, including one by the compiling party and one by the compiler. Each digital signature includes a signing party identifier and an encrypted message. The encrypted message includes a message generated by a predefined procedure, and is encrypted using a private encryption key associated with the signing party. A digital signature verifier used by the class loader includes logic for processing each digital signature by obtaining a public key associated with the signing party, decrypting the encrypted message of the digital signature with that public key so as generate a decrypted message, generating a test message by executing the predefined procedure on the architecture specific program associated with the digital signature, comparing the test message with the decrypted message, and issuing a failure signal if the decrypted message digest and test message digest do not match.

Abstract: An energy management and building automation system including a local area network or home automation data bus such as the CEBus. Each load is connected to the bus via a control module which may contain a circuit breaker to disconnect the load from the mains upon command or upon occurrence of a power outage. Current monitoring control modules measure load current and power monitor modules monitor power consumed by selected loads, both modules transmitting bus messages indicating load status and status changes. A first microcomputer preferably is external to the customer premises, adjacent the electric utility power meter. A second microcomputer preferably is inside the customer premises. The two microcomputers communicate with each other and with the various modules via the network/data bus. The first microcomputer communicates with the utility company via any appropriate communications link. The second microcomputer serves, in part, as an input/output terminal for the system, allowing the customer to set parameters and query the system as to power usage, displaying reports requested by the customer and messages transmitted by the utility company and by either microcomputer. The first microcomputer acts as a master controller and/or network server, communicating with the world outside the premises, as a communications gateway between voice, video and data services, and being the primary data collector and operator of load control modules; the second microcomputer provides certain backup functions. The utility company can access selected utilization data and control at least some loads via messages to the first microcomputer.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus has heaters (2, 3) to provide heat to fix a toner image on print paper. The heaters are intermittently activated to maintain the fixing apparatus at a substantially constant temperature. The heaters are activated by a predetermined voltage (Vf). Deactivation of the heaters (2, 3) is controlled by providing a low voltage immediately before the heaters are completely turned off so that a rate of change in a current flowing to the heaters is reduced. A timing of deactivation of each of the heaters may be controlled so that a start time of deactivation of the heaters (2, 3) differs from each other. The heaters (3) excluding at least one (2) of the heaters (2, 3) may be maintained to be deactivated when the fixing apparatus is in a predetermined operational state such as a waiting state or pre-heating state.

Abstract: There has been no common format between a
conventional CLV system disk whereon information can be
addressed at a constant linear velocity and transferred
at a high-speed and a conventional ZCAV system disk
whereon information can be addressed at a high speed
with a constant disk rotation speed. It is therefore
difficult to use two kinds of disks in a recording and
reproducing device. The ZCAV method had a large
decrease in data utilization. 
     The present invention was made to provide a dish-type
recording medium and a disk recording and
reproducing device to overcome the above-mentioned
disadvantage in conventional CLV and ZCAV system. 
     A disk type recording medium (1) has spiral or
concentric grooves (3, 13, 13a) that are divided into a
plurality of zones 1, 2 and 3 (1a, 1b, 1c) in the
radial direction of the disk (1). Physical address
information and sector boundary information (2a, 12a)
are recorded by groove wobbling. Records of data are
arranged on grooves with reference to sector boundary
information (2a, 12a) on the condition that a wobble
frequency of physical address information obtainable
when rotating the disk (1) at a constant angular
velocity is constant within a unit zone and increases 
with each change of zones from inner to outer
peripheral zone on the disk (1).
