IPC: F02M71/00
Filed: 1997-07-17
Abstract: A fuel injector for an engine includes a fuel volume (24) having an air
inlet port (30) having a porous membrane (38). The membrane (38) is permeable to
air and impermeable to fuel whereby air inlet to the fuel volume (24) forms
a two-phase air bubble/fuel dispersion within the fuel volume (24). Upon
actuation of the needle valve (18) of the injector, this two-phase air
bubble/fuel dispersion flows through the orifice (28) into the engine
whereby improved atomization, burn and fuel economy with resultant
reduction in emissions are provided.

Abstract: An image display device having a liquid crystal
display panel in which display picture elements are
arranged according to a dot matrix form includes a control
circuit that controls the drive of a source driver and
gate driver such that writing of signals for frame display
in a horizontal direction is performed during the vertical
blanking interval of input image signals. During the
vertical blanking interval, the control circuit writes to
the source driver each source selection signal of picture
elements that are to display the horizontal frame and
holds this data. The control circuit then generates
sequential gate selection signals from the gate driver
while supplying the held output of the source driver to
the sources of the picture elements, and supplies
horizontal frame display signals to the picture elements.

Abstract: A transducer circuit, particularly for monitoring
current, compensates for offset in the transducer output
by sampling the output periodically at a moment at which
the output is known and storing the sampled value as an
offset. The offset is compared with subsequent outputs
from the transducer to provide a difference signal which
is the compensated output of the transducer. When the
calibrated output of the transducer is non-zero at the
said moment, the non-zero value is added as a reference
to the compensated value tc correct the magnitude of the
transducer output.

Patent EP-0892398-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BOJARCZUK NESTOR ALEXANDER JR
IPC: G11B7/0045
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: This invention provides phase change media for optical storage
based on semiconductors of nitrides of the column III metals. The
surface of thin films of these wide bandgap semiconductors may be
metallized (by desorption of the nitrogen) by irradiating with photons of
energy equal to, or greater than the band gap of these materials, and
with power densities beyond a critical threshold value. As a consequence
of such writable metallization, these materials are excellent candidates
for write once, read many times storage media since the differences in
the reflectivity between the metal and its corresponding wide gap nitride
are very large. Furthermore, once the nitrogen is desorbed, the written
metallic phase can no longer revert back to the nitride phase and hence
the media is stable and is truly a write-once system. Additional
advantages offered by these materials over present day phase change media
include higher differences in reflectivity contrast and suitability for
use with short wavelength laser diodes (460 nm and lower) which are
expected to be introduced into optical recording technology in the next 5
years. The band gap of alloys of nitrides of column III metals can be
tuned by changing the relative fractions of the column III metals to
continuously vary the band gap so as to be compatible with lasers having
photon energies within the range. The low absorptivity and hence high
transmissitivity, at the appropriate recording wavelength, of the
starting phase also offers the potential application of these materials
in a multiple-recording-layer format.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, and associated system, for converting
object oriented models into an actual operable database. The method and system
automatically converts object oriented models into inputs that are compatible with a target
product data manager platform. Errors are detected during the conversion process, thereby
allowing the PDM designer to correct the errors before actual PDM platform implementation.
The method and system of the present invention generate ancillary outputs that further
enhance the usefulness of the method and system. Errors and inconsistencies between the
object oriented model and the PDM platform can thus more easily be tracked, thereby
enhancing the integrity of the resulting PDM database.
