Abstract: An efficient operation of a variable displacement
compressor is maintained by avoiding a condition leading to
a relatively low efficiency. The compressor varies its
displacement using a control valve for which an external
duty control procedure is performed. A target value for
controlling the displacement is determined in accordance
with a duty ratio Dt of a drive signal sent to the control
valve. If the duty ratio Dt is equal to or greater than a
predetermined reference value DJ, the displacement is
permitted to be varied corresponding to the duty ratio Dt.
If the duty ratio Dt is smaller than the reference value DJ,
the variable displacement controlling through the duty
control procedure is suspended. In this case, the
compressor is forced to be operated with a nullified duty
ratio (Dt = 0), or a minimum displacement.

Abstract: A novel system for facilitating the work for setting the horizontal direction
of a guide laser beam is disclosed. The guide laser beam (P) can be radiated in
vertical and lateral directions from the horizontal direction as a reference by a
guide laser beam radiator (20). The reference horizontal direction position of the
guide laser beam radiator (20) is detected by a first GPS unit (75). A pole (81) has
a second GPS unit (76) for detecting a horizontal position. A reference horizontal
direction position of the guide laser radiator (20) is detected by the first GPS unit
(75). A first horizontal direction position is detected by the second GPS unit (76)
of the pole (81) set up at a first position (83), thereby specifying the direction Z1 in
which the guide laser beam (P) is to be radiated from the reference horizontal
direction position as an origin. A second horizontal direction position is detected
by the second GPS unit (76) of the pole (81) set up at a second position (80) so as to
radiate the guide laser beam (P) on the pole (81), thus specifying the actual
direction in which the guide laser beam (P) is radiated from the reference
horizontal direction position as an origin. The angle () that the direction in
which the guide laser beam (P) is to be radiated forms to the actual direction (Z2)
in which the guide laser beam (P) is radiated is determined. Based on the angle
, the direction Z2 in which the guide laser beam (P) is actually radiated is
changed to the direction Z1 in which the guide laser beam (P) is to be radiated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed by which splittable fiber optic ribbon can be
produced in a single-step process greatly reducing the costs and delays involved in
manufacturing splittable fiber optic ribbon under current methodologies. The process of
making the ribbon includes creating individual groups (2, 2A) of insulated fibers arranged
into a flat, side-by-side configuration; aligning the multiple groups of fibers (two or more)
simultaneously with a single coating die (6) having multiple exit lands; having the groups of
fibers pass through the single coating die creating fiber optic subunits (7, 7A); drawing the
subunits through a first curing chamber (8) to partially cure the coating of the subunits, while
keeping the subunits close together using a first alignment die(9); bringing the subunits in
contact with each other on their sides through a second alignment die (10); and finally
presenting the joined subunits to a second curing chamber (11) where the coating is
completely cured. Accordingly, the subunit's surfaces will be cross-linked at the locations of
contact. The thickness of coating will be thinnest at the location of the cross-link web
connection creating a stress concentration location when separating the ribbon unit and,
therefore, each subunit can be easily split from the rest of the ribbon unit when desired. It is
estimated that this invention will reduce the current manufacturing costs of splittable fiber
optic ribbon by approximately 33%.

Abstract: Voltage reversal in fuel cell stacks may be detected and/or prevented by monitoring each cell or small groups of cells in the stack for low voltage conditions. An improved cell voltage monitor is constructed using a plurality of voltage monitoring units in which each unit comprises a heating resistor, a rectifier in series therewith, and a sensing thermistor in thermal communication with the heating resistor. The heating resistor is electrically-connected across a cell or cells and heats the associated sensing thermistor in accordance with the voltage of the cell(s). Since the resistance of the sensing thermistor is indicative of its temperature and hence also of voltage of the cell(s), the sensing thermistor resistance can be used to signal a low voltage condition.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a method and a system for creating a sub-1V bandgap reference (BGR) circuit. In particular, a sub-1V BGR circuit is formed comprising a shallow trench isolation (STI) region and a poly silicon region above said STI region. The poly silicon region is formed having a first doped region longer than a second doped region. The poly silicon region as one single structure is adapted to function as a resistor and a diode coupled in series, said structure adapted to generate currents in a feedback loop to generate a BGR voltage. In forming the sub-1V BGR circuit, a silicide blocking mask (already available in the process flow for forming a standard semiconductor device) is used to prevent spacer oxide from forming above the center portion of the poly silicon region. In turn, silicide contacts can be formed away from the center portion of the poly silicon region.
