Title: Plant output command value decision unit
Inventor: TANIMOTO MASAHIKO
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 1997-08-14
Abstract: Determining the output command value tor each of a plurality of interlinked plants, such as generators or power driven machines, which minimises the total fuel consumption at any time, for a given overall output. For each plant, a fuel consuming characteristic model Fm,t which models fuel consumption as a function of plant output and time, taking into account hysteresis characteristics of the plant, is generated. An output decision model H m,t0  of each plant is generated by extracting items that affect the fuel consumption at the present time to from its fuel consuming characteristic model F m,t . The output command value P m.t0 * of each plant is then determined on the basis of its output decision model H m,t0  by the fixed-incremental fuel cost method, that is, by determining the output command values such that the derivatives of each of the output decision models with respect to plant output are equal, and the total output equals the estimated load.

Title: Controlling ic engine valves to prevent collision with the piston
Inventor: HACKETT DAVID E
IPC: F01L9/20
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: Inlet and exhaust valves 50, 70 that are controlled electronically are in danger of colliding with the head of the piston 20 if they are open when the piston is at or near top dead centre. To prevent this the future positions of each of the valves and the piston are calculated and if a collision is predicted the valve is closed at the relevant time. The position of the piston is derived from sensed crankshaft rotation frequency and thus-determined crankshaft speed and acceleration and the position of the valve(s) derived from valve control signals. If the valve is actuated electro-hydraulically, the derived position is adjusted according to sensed pressure and temperature of the hydraulic fluid. Adjustments may also be made for low and high engine speeds.

Title: Lithographic printing plate support
Inventor: CHAU TU VINH
IPC: B41N3/03
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A process is provided for the manufacture of a support for a lithographic printing plate precursor, the process comprising treating at least one surface of a metallic substrate with an aqueous solution comprising a salt of a metal from Group IB, IIB, IVA, IVB, VB, VIA, VIB, VIIB or VIII of the Periodic Table whilst applying a constant voltage or constant current. These lithographic printing plate precursors provide plates showing good resistance to abrasion, corrosion, staining and scumming, both on development and on press. Additionally, the plates display excellent coating adhesion in image areas, together with very good exposure latitude and solvent resistance. The metallic substrate preferably is aluminium or an aluminium alloy. The salt may be a salt of Ti, Zr, Hf, Mo, W, V, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sn, Nb, Ta, Ce, Se, Si, Co or Fe. The solution may additionally contain poly(acrylic acid) or a copolymer of acrylic acid with vinylphosphonic acid. A light sensitive coating may be subsequently applied on the treated surface. The resulting substrate is then exposed and developed. The salt may be part of an anodising bath or the metallic substrate may be immersed in the salt solution after graining and anodising. The solution may also contain aluminium ions. The salt may be included in an anodising bath or applied after graining and anodising.
Patent GB-2344193-A (GB)
Title: Adhesive dispensing method
Inventor: PITCHFORD NEIL JOHN
IPC: B05C11/10
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: There is a need to accurately dispense the correct volume of adhesive to fill the gap 46 in a joint between two bodies 42, 44, so as to ensure the integrity of the joint without wastage. It has been found that, for a given ramp (flow) rate of dispensed material, the time interval for the back pressure generated at a dispensing head 22 to change between two values is representative of the gap volume. By measuring this interval and, by means of a table or algorithm, determining the gap volume, then comparing this with the actual amount dispensed, the dispensing operation can be terminated when the gap is filled. For gaps of variable shape (Figs 4-6), a refinement includes further measurement of the back pressure and comparing with values for gaps of constant shape but different sizes and recalculating the volume correspondingly.

Title: Method for the collection, analysis, measurement and storage of geographical data
Inventor: KIRCHNER WOLFRAM
IPC: G01C11/00
Filed: 1995-05-10
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the collection, analysis, measurement and storage of geographical data, the aim being to guarantee user-relevant data handling and simplified availability in large, medium and small user centres and to ensures the optimization of existing components in digital stereo work stations with facilities for interactive overlay, truing and execution of digitally recorded landscape, planning and property data or land-register maps as well as the addition of alphanumeric data. This aim is achieved as shown in the figure by virtue of the fact that a topographic surface (zone 1) is recorded using aerial photography by an aircraft (2) whose position is determined by means of DGPS signals from satellites (3). A digital height model (4) is subsequently derived by data processing or calculated after the fourth operational step. From the topographic surface (zone 1) and the digital height model, including the known positions of the projection centres at the time the photograph was taken by the aircraft (2), and by mathematical transformation of the analogue aerial photo or of a digital aerial-photo scene, the digital orthophoto (5) is generated and made available to a potential user on a data-storage medium, thus enabling the potential user to add, to the digital orthophoto (5), vector/line graphics (6) and to make use of it depending on the task specification and necessary decision-making capacity which he, as mandator, has formulated.

Title: Enhanced cpu microbranching architecture
IPC: G06F9/40
Filed: 1984-09-26
Abstract: Hardware for performing microcode branching in a central processing unit allows for two different speeds of branches which can be used by microcode and includes flexibility to optionally inhibit the extra lines which enter the pipeline on a branch. A default branch path can be taken for a test result not yet available and can be replaced with a correct branch target during a clock pause if the test result is false. A return address stack is provided with decoupled loading and pushing to accommodate the two branching speeds. Microcode can specify loading the return address stack with a literal or register value to allow vectored branching and returning to a desired line after a delayed call.
