Patent EP-0971101-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI NAOTO
IPC: F01N13/04
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: An NOx occluding and reducing catalyst is disposed
in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion
engine to absorb NOx in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel
ratio of the exhaust gas is lean, and to release and
reduce the absorbed NOx when the air-fuel ratio of the
exhaust gas is rich. A recovery operation is executed
only under particular operating conditions of the engine
to heat the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst so as to
release NOx as well as SOx absorbed thereby. The engine
operating conditions for executing the recovery operation
are expanded with an increase in the amount of SOx held
by the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst while
preventing a drop in the engine fuel efficiency. The
recovery operation is easily executed with an increase in
the holding amount of SOx, and a state in which SOx are
held in increased amounts by the NOx occluding and
reducing catalyst is prevented from lasting long.

Abstract: A smart card, smart card reader, and system for secure entry of a secret personal
identification number (PIN) directly into the smart card while the card is presented to the
reader. Because the user's PIN is entered directly into the smart card, authenticated directly
by the smart card itself, and not propagated outside the smart card, the PIN cannot be
covertly obtained through the use of a compromised reader or other device in the system. A
PIN keypad on the smart card allows user entry of the PIN, and an authentication unit
within the smart card verifies that the PIN is correct. The reader merely supplies electrical
power for the smart card to take the PIN entry and perform the authentication, but does not
handle the PIN itself in any way. The reader, however, is designed to allow access to the
keypad on the smart card while the smart card is being presented. The smart card keypad
may have identifying indicia, or alternatively may be not visible, so that photographs,
logos, etc., placed on the smart card will not be obscured. In this case, the reader has an
overlaying surface with the identifying indicia for the keypad. The reader may also have a
separate keypad of its own for use with conventional smart cards that lack a keypad.

Abstract: A method of reading a plurality of RF transponders (14.1 to 14.15) is
disclosed and claimed. The method includes the steps of transmitting
a first energizing signal generating a first energizing field having a first
range (Pm 1 ), receiving response signals from transponders (14.1 to
14.3) within the range and reading data in the signals. The method
further includes the step of causing transponders (14.1 to 14.3) just
read to cease responding to the energizing signal. Thereafter a
second energizing signal generating a second energizing field having a
second range (Pm 2 ) is transmitted. Response signals from remaining
transponders (14.4 to 14.8) within the second field are received and
read. Thereafter transponders (14.4 to 14.8) are also caused to
cease responding, before a third energizing signal intended to read
transponders (14.9 to 14.15) is transmitted. An electronic
identification system, an interrogator for transponders and a method of
searching and finding a selected transponder amongst a plurality of
transponders distributed in a volume are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A liquid drop detector which may be fixed or attached by
a simple operation, without machining, to a window glass,
comprising: a light emitting element 4, a light receiving
element 5, and light guiding bodies 7, 8 and 9, wherein the
light emitted by the light emitting element 4 is introduced
through a diffraction grating 15 into the light guiding body 7,
and after undergoing total internal reflection within the
light guiding body 7, it is introduced through a silicon
member 10, the light guiding body 9 and a silicon member 10
into a windshield G. After repeating total internal reflection
within the windshield G, the light is received by the light
receiving element 5 through the silicon member 10, the light
guiding body 9, the silicon member 10 and the light guiding
body 8. 
     In this instance, when rain drops adhere to the outside
surface of the windshield G at points corresponding to the
total internal reflection points at the outer surface of
windshield G, the light reflecting within the windshield G
passes out of the windshield G at that point without
undergoing the total internal reflection therein. As a result
of this, the amount of light received by the light receiving
element 5 is lessened, thereby providing for detection of the
adhesion of rain drops based thereupon so as to output a
signal for driving a device such as the wiper.

Abstract: A method of producing a fuel hose having
superior adhesive reliability with superior initial
adhesive strength between a tubular fluororesin
inner layer (1) and a thermoplastic resin outer layer (2)
and with restrained deterioration in adhesive
strength after heat aging and immersion into fuel
under severe conditions such as an inside of an
engine compartment. The method includes plasma
treatment on a peripheral surface of the tubular
fluororesin inner layer, at least one treatment of
water treatment and silane coupling agent treatment
on the plasma-treated surface and formation of the
thermoplastic resin outer layer on the treated
peripheral surface. Thus, the functional groups
having fluorine atoms not involved in adhesion go
inside the tubular fluororesin inner layer by
conducting the at least one treatment of water
treatment and silane coupling agent aqueous
solution treatment so that the surface
concentration of fluorine atoms sufficiently 
decreases on the peripheral surface of the tubular
fluororesin inner layer and adhesive functional
groups (functional groups having oxygen atoms) such
as an OH group are widely distributed therein. As
a result, adhesive strength between the tubular
fluororesin inner layer and the thermoplastic resin
outer layer is improved so that deterioration in
adhesive strength after heat aging and immersion
into fuel can be restrained under severe conditions
such as an inside of an engine compartment, for
obtaining a fuel hose superior in adhesive
reliability.

Abstract: An arbiter implements an arbitration scheme that allows a requestor that has been
granted use of a resource to use the resource for a predetermined number of data transfers
before relinquishing the resource. At the time a requestor is granted use of the resource, a
register is loaded with a value that defines a limit on the how much the requestor can use
the resource. More particularly, the value defines a number of bytes that the requestor is
allowed to transfer before being required to relinquish use of the resource. The value is
decremented each time the requestor makes a data transfer, as long as there is also a
pending request from another requestor. If there is no pending request from another
requestor, the value is not decremented even though the requestor has transferred data.
Until the time that the value is decremented to zero, the requestor may repeatedly make
requests to the arbiter for use of the resource, and the arbiter will continue to grant them.
Upon the value becoming zero, however, the arbiter reverts to its original state of handling
incoming requests for the resource.

Abstract: A system for modifying a compiled executable code file by adding
patches that add functionality when the modified executable code file is executed. The
modifying is performed without recompiling, relinking or rewriting the code file.
Adding a patch involves creating a patch handler which when executed causes the
patch statements to be executed, and may involve replacing one or more existing
compiled instructions in the file with patching instructions to transfer flow of
execution to the appropriate patch handler. The instructions replaced by the patching
instructions can also be added to the patch handler. Patches can also include code
statements which form a complete module, such as an invokable routine, which can be
referenced by other patch statements to cause the module to be executed. Specialized
trace requests can also be added as patch statements. The trace requests will make
specified information about the current execution of the executable code file available
to a software developer. Patch statements can include variables and expressions that
will be evaluated in the context of the appropriate current variable scope, regardless of
whether the scope is defined within the patch or by existing compiled instructions.
After patches have been added, they can be disabled so as to prevent their execution
without removing the patching instructions from the compiled executable file. Patches
can also be qualified with conditions such that the patch will be executed only when
the conditions are true at the time of execution.

Abstract: This invention deals with the problem of assigning the power offset between
DPCCH and DPDCH. The problem arises from the usage of power control on the
DPCCH whereas the quality that is under control (e.g. BER) is given on the DCH/
DPDCH. The power offset must be adjusted in such a way that the transmission power
requirements of the DPCCH and the DPDCH are met without wasting to much of the
power. An algorithm for assigning the power offsets is disclosed that consists of two
main parts: 
     Allocation of the specific G-values to every TFC by RRC in the RNC and
signalling them to transmitting and receiving side (UE/ NodeB) via higher layer signalling. 
     Autonomously adjusting of G in PHY regarding the current used TFC in the
transmitter. The receiver determines the G-value from the TFC via TFCI signalling. 
     This algorithm allows efficient setting of dynamically variable offset values
without too much signalling overhead. It is compliant to the currently UMTS standard.

Abstract: Particles incorporating a surfactant and/or a hydrophilic or hydrophobic complex of a positively or negatively charged therapeutic agent and a charged molecule of opposite charge for drug delivery to the pulmonary system, and methods for their synthesis and administration are provided. In a preferred embodiment, the particles are made of a biodegradable material and have a tap density less than 0.4 g/cm<3> and a mass mean diameter between 5  mu m and 30  mu m, which together yield an aerodynamic diameter of the particles of between approximately one and five microns. The particles may be formed of biodegradable materials such as biodegradable polymers. For example, the particles may be formed of poly(lactic acid) or poly(glycolic acid) or copolymers thereof. Alternatively, the particles may comprise a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent and a material selected from the group consisting of surfactant and a molecule having a charge opposite to the charge of the agent and forming a complex thereto. The particles have a tap density less than 0.4 g/cm<3> and a mass mean diameter between 5  mu m and 30  mu m. Exemplary surfactants include phosphoglycerides such as dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The particles are administered to the respiratory tract to permit systemic or local delivery of a wide variety of therapeutic agents. Aggregation of particles before or during administration to the respiratory tract results in particles having an aerodynamic diameter larger than that of the fully dispersed particles. Aerodynamic diameters between three and five microns are advantageous for delivery to the central airways.
