Filed: 2004-11-25
Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for estimating a reticle bias state for a process system, that include computing a difference between control data provided to the process system and error data based on a process system output(s), and estimating the reticle bias state based on weighted measures associated with the control data, the weighted measures being based on the number of data points included in the difference. The methods and systems include associating the reticle bias state estimate with a first quality factor, computing at least one weighted measure based on a number of data elements associated with the reticle, using the weighted measure(s) to provide a computed reticle bias state estimate and an associated computed quality factor, and, comparing the computed quality factor with the first quality factor to determine whether to update the reticle bias state estimate with the computed reticle bias state estimate.

Abstract: A switching power supply circuit including a configuration for power factor correction is disclosed which minimizes ripples and achieves a high power conversion efficiency. For power factor correction of a composite resonance converter including a partial resonance voltage circuit combined with a current resonance converter according to a half-bridge connection, a power factor correction circuit is configured such that primary side series resonance current obtained by a primary side series resonance circuit is regenerated and fed back as electric power to a smoothing capacitor. An insulating converter transformer of the composite resonance converter is formed such that the magnetic flux density therein is set so as to allow a secondary side rectification current to exhibit a continuous mode irrespective of any variation of the secondary side dc output voltage.

Abstract: A modular electrical resistance sensor (20) is positionable in gaps (18) between brake linings (11) for a drum brake (10). The modular sensor is worn with the brake linings resulting in steadily increasing electrical resistance of the modular sensor. A measurement circuit (28) associated with the modular sensor is programmed to equate electrical resistance to the degree of wear when the sensor has assumed a steady state temperature at or near the ambient temperature. Otherwise, particularly during periods of use of the brakes, resistance and the degree of wear last calculated become arguments into a function for determining brake lining temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to access protection and theft protection of a computer system. The inventive access protection mechanism makes explicit use of a specific time interval for which the computer system operates in an ordinary mode. After this time interval has elapsed the computer system switches into a locked mode preventing the computer system from booting. In locked mode the functionality of the system is limited to a password dialogue and a corresponding password can only be obtained from a central database system after the user's identity has been checked. By regularly installing subsequent software application updates of a specific software application the computer system is prevented from switching into locked mode. By installing the software application update, the time interval is always manipulated in such a way, that is only elapses after a point of time where a subsequent software update becomes available.

The housing (22) has an inwardly facing sealing surface facing one of the inwardly extending walls. Locating means are provided which are securable to the housing (22) and which have positioning means extending therefrom which engage the peripheral mantle (54) to hold the peripheral mantle (54) and in turn the first wall enclosed juxtaposition with the outwardly facing sealing surface thereby defining a labyrinth seal (80) therebetween. The labyrinth seal (80) extends in a direction transverse to the fluid flow path and restricts fluid leakage between the catalyst and the housing (22). The locating means are provided with deflecting means for avoiding unwanted force input by the locating means to either the peripheral mantle (54) or the housing (22).
