IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: In ignition timing control apparatus and method for
an internal combustion engine which carries out a switching
of a combustion mode between a stratified charge combustion
and a homogeneous charge combustion according to an engine
driving condition, an ignition timing value in the mode
of the stratified charge combustion during a transfer of
a switching of the combustion mode between the stratified
charge combustion and the homogeneous charge combustion
is generated using both of at least one first ignition
timing map used when the combustion mode of the engine is
in a steady state of the stratified charge combustion and
a second ignition timing map carried out at a rich limit
of an air-fuel mixture ratio and which is used at a switching
point between the stratified charge combustion and the
homogeneous charge combustion, for example, through an
interpolation based on a variation rate in a status
variable of an air mixture fuel supplied into each
cylinder.

circuit pairs. Time slots are allocated by a slot counter and
a media access controller circuit may be set to send to its
corresponding physical interface circuit two slots later than
the one in which it receives form that physical interface
circuit in order to be able to provide the physical interface
circuit with a rapid response to any signals it any send.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a plurality of independent
cells (12,14,16), each cell comprising code that is either
executable or is enabled to execute or operate by an
activator (18) associated with that cell. The cells are not
directly operatively linked to each other and are capable
of operation in the absence of each other. A trigger
manager (20) is responsive to a notification that one of a
number of specified conditions exists to associate a
predetermined cell with that condition and enable that cell
to execute or to operate. A plurality of indicators (22)
are responsive to respective conditions and are each
operative so that the trigger manager is notified of the
existence of such respective condition. By keeping the
cells independent, advantages accrue, e.g. failure of one
cell does not stop operation of the others.

Abstract: In a digital-watermark superposing apparatus and a
digital-watermark detecting apparatus, a plurality of DCT
coefficients for respective frequency components are generated
by subjecting video data to a two-dimensional DCT transform for
each pixel block consisting of a predetermined number of
pixels, and the value of at least one of the DCT coefficients
is quantized in accordance with a quantization rule
corresponding to the information so as to obtain a quantized
DCT coefficient. A two-dimensional inverse DCT transform is
performed with respect to the DCT coefficients in which the at
least one DCT coefficient thereof is replaced with the
quantized DCT coefficient, so as to obtain digital-watermark
superposed video data in which the digital watermark
corresponding to the information has been superposed on the
video data. At this juncture, the digital-watermark superposed
video data is selected and outputted concerning a section in
which a video pattern due to the video data is not flatter than
a predetermined video pattern, while, instead of the digital-watermark
superposed video data, the video data is selected and
outputted as it is concerning a section in which the video
pattern due to the video data is flatter than the predetermined
video pattern.

Abstract: A polishing tool uses a seal cavity (140) containing a fluid that supports polishing
pads (130) against an object (120) being polished. In one embodiment, the boundaries of
the cavity (140) include a support structure (142), a portion of a polishing material (130)
and a seal (144) between the support structure (142) and the polishing material (130). The
polishing material (130) moves relative to the support structure (142) and seal (144). A
variety of seal configuration can maintain the fluid within the cavity. One seal includes
an o-ring (320) that the force of a spring (330) a magnet (310), or air pressure (340) presses
against the polishing material (130). A gas flow from outside the cavity or from an inlet
(440) inside the cavity can form a gas pocket in the cavity (140), adjacent the o-ring (320)
to prevent leakage of the fluid pressure in the cavity (140) can be varied temporally to
create vibrations in the polishing material to enhance polishing performance or can be
varied spatially to change the pressure profile. One embodiment of the invention includes
one or more fluid inlet/outlets (246,248) to the cavity (240), one or more pressure
regulators (250,252) to control the pressure in the cavity. In polishers with or without a
sealed fluid cavity, the support structure (650) can include actuators (620,625) that control
the orientation of the support structure relative to polishing material. Sensors (610,615)
and a feedback control system (640) positions the support structure (650) for polishing.

Abstract: The invention resides in permanent magnet rotors and methods for assembling
the same. In one embodiment, one or more arcuate magnetic element(s)
(2) is (are) disposed around a cylindrical rotor core (1). In turn, a hollow retaining
shell (3) is slip-fit around the magnetic element or elements (2). Spring biasing

Abstract: The method is for broadcasting announcements in an open area (101), and involves utilising the loudspeaker (102) by which broadcasts are made within the area, and sensed at a number of points (j). Calculations are carried out for each target zone (123), between a loudspeaker (i) and calibration points. An impulse response is produced to compensate for echoes and attenuation, time inverted and the resulting sound broadcast. The loudspeaker emits a signal: si(t) = Summation fromj of (aj.hij(-t)*S(t) where .hij(t) represents the temporal inversion of the impulse response hij(t), preestablished and memorised, between the loudspeaker i and a point j predetermined from calibrations belonging to the target zones (114,115,123), including a number of calibration points p.

Abstract: A plasma display panel ("PDP") is provided with a protrusion (23)
lower than barrier ribs (21) on an inner surface of a back plate
substrate (20) and a phosphor layer (22) formed on a rib surface within
a unitary emission unit including a surface of the protrusion, thereby
realizing the PDP of high brightness, high luminous efficiency and long
operating life. Also, the PDP has a structure, in which a portion of the
inner surface of the substrate (10) is opened to a discharge space
directly or through a protective layer, so as to improve power
consumption remarkably. Further, the invention provides a production of
the PDP with superior whiteness by way of controlling a balance of each
color with shape of the respective protrusions. Moreover, an electrode
can be formed easily and precisely on an upper part of the protrusion by
providing a sloped surface for at least one end in a longitudinal
direction of the protrusion. As a result, the invention provides the PDP
that is of lower power consumption, high brightness, high luminous
efficiency, and is capable of performing a speedy and stable
electric-discharge and displaying white color of high color temperature.

Abstract: This invention uses a computer program to mine preexisting intelligent network
data located in a variety of preexisting source intelligent network databases. The
computer program either creates a new intelligent network database from parts of
existing intelligent network databases or modifies a existing intelligent network
database. The computer program replaces the current system's reliance upon manual
data entry by data engineers to configure the operation of a new telecommunication
switch or replace the software in a telecommunication switch that was damaged or
requires a new intelligent network data configuration. This invention provides accurate
and timely customer information, significantly decreases the time interval for
engineering a new intelligent network database, decreases the research and data entry
time, decreases the interval for lab planning and project management, improves
intelligent network database integrity, provides a cleaner intelligent network database,
reuses existing intelligent network data eliminating double data entry, reuses some
existing software code, ad uses preexisting office data administration tools and
provides a platform for future growth and expandability. By accomplishing these tasks,
the telecommunication switch manufacturer or telecommunication switch operator
saves time, money and decreases time-to-market product and service schedules.
