Patent EP-1660936-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WHITEHEAD LORNE A
IPC: G02F1/167
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un affichage (10) d'images comprenant une feuille avant transparente (12) avec une surface interne microstructurée prismatique (16), et une feuille arrière (14) sensiblement parallèle et espacée de la feuille avant (12). Une suspension électrophorétique remplit l'espace entre les feuilles (12, 14). La suspension est formée par suspension de particules (24) d'absorption de la lumière ne diffusant pas la lumière dans un milieu électrophorétique (22) jusqu'à ce que les particules (24) forment une agglomération (56) sensiblement unitaire et stable d'un point de vue thermodynamique. L'application d'une tension sur la suspension permet de générer un champ électrique afin de déplacer par électrophorèse, et de manière contrôlée, l'agglomération (56) de particules comme un tout sensiblement unitaire vers la surface interne de la feuille avant afin d'inhiber la réflexion interne totale au niveau de la surface interne des rayons de lumière passant à travers la feuille avant (12).

IPC: B60L50/16

Abstract: In a hybrid-drive electric vehicle, upon request of gear shifting of a transmission (2), a clutch (3) is first disconnected and the transmission (2) is set to a neutral position. The rotating electric generator 4 is then operated in a motor mode or a power generating mode so that a rotational speed of an input shaft of the transmission (2) reaches a region of a synchronizing rotational speed in accordance with a requested gear position. When the rotational speed of the input shaft of the transmission (2) reaches the region of the synchronizing rotational speed, the gear position of the transmission (2) is changed over from the neutral position to the requested gear position. Thus the rotation synchronizing time for the gear shifting in the transmission (2) is reduced, making it possible to perform the gear shifting for a short period of time.

Abstract: The abnormality determination and estimation means (200a)
estimates the presence or absence of an abnormality of the product
of plastic working with respect to an elastic wave in processing
of a non-defective product, based on a first elastic wave A1 that
is an elastic wave generated in a processing step immediately before
an upper die comes into contact with a lower die after the beginning
of plastic working, a second elastic wave A2 that is an elastic
wave generated in a processing step when the upper die comes into
contact with the lower die, and a third elastic wave A3 that is
an elastic wave generated in a processing step after the upper die
comes into contact with the lower die. This makes it possible to
improve the precision of abnormality detection and discriminate
the abnormalities.

up of a corrugated roll-shaped metal porous body (3, 6, 10, 14,
20, 30) fabricated by winding up, in a multi-layer manner and in
a vortex form, a metal plate in which many through holes (2, 9,

18, 22, 28) at edge portions and which repeatedly forms a sine-wave
shaped rising and falling structure. Exhaust gas from a diesel
engine passes through clearances (4) among layers of the metal
porous body (3, 6, 10, 14, 20, 30) and black smoke minute particles
contained in the exhaust gas are seized and removed. The through
holes (2, 9, 12, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31) are formed in crest portions
(M) and trough portions (V) making up the rising and falling
portions. Approximately all or a greater part of surface-protrusions

Abstract: According to the embodiments of the techniques of this application, a wireless data device or other data node sends solicitation messages periodically to a wireless gateway, such as a PDSN, when there is no data traffic between the wireless data device and a wireless data network. Each solicitation message resets the simple IP inactivity timer on the wireless gateway. When multiple wireless data devices send solicitation messages, the interval between subsequent transmissions of solicitation messages is randomised to reduce the probability of collision with the solicitations from other devices on the same wireless link. The solicitation timer, for instance, may be based on the simple IP inactivity timer setting on the wireless network, and the number of wireless data devices that the wireless data network serves. Expiration of the solicitation timer at the wireless data device or other data node causes the next solicitation message to be sent from or on behalf of the wireless data device.

IPC: F23R3/28
Filed: 2004-01-10
Abstract: In order to achieve better fuel distribution despite an oversized fuel injector
nozzle (6, 31, 60) relative to the impingement cross-section of an air flow (5, 25)
directed towards that nozzle (6, 31, 60), an asymmetric distribution of fuel is provided.
This asymmetric distribution is achieved by providing fuel distribution structures (42, 52,
53) about the injector nozzle (47, 51) which present varying amounts of fuel to the air
flow (5, 25) dependent upon the localised flow pressure in the air flow presented to the
nozzle (6, 31, 60). Such asymmetric distribution of fuel is achieved by providing
passages (42) or jets (52, 53) of varying cross-section or distribution/spacing at
different parts of the fuel injection nozzle (31, 60) dependent upon incident flow
pressure. Thus, both parts of the injector nozzle (31, 60) directly impinged by the air
flow generally present more fuel to that flow compared to depleted flow pressure zones
of the air flow (5, 25).
