Patent EP-0817008-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DEERING MICHAEL F
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: A 3-D graphics accelerator which includes a command block or preprocessor, a
plurality of floating point processors or blocks, and one or more draw processors or
blocks. The 3-D graphics accelerator includes a plurality of direct data channels or point-to-point
buses, collectively referred to as the CF bus, which connect the command
preprocessor to each of the plurality of floating point processors. The 3-D graphics
accelerator also includes a plurality of direct data channels or point-to-point buses,
collectively referred to as the FD bus, which connect the plurality of floating point
processors to each of the draw processors. The system of the present invention also
implements a bus from the command preprocessor directly to the draw processors,
referred to as the CD bus, which uses portions of the above direct data channels. The CD
bus shares or "borrows" the data lines from the CF bus and the FD bus and uses the
floating point processors as buffer chips. This allows implementation of a "logical" bus
while using existing bus lines.

Abstract: A catalyst (18) is housed in a casing (11) arranged in the
exhaust passage (16) of the engine (1). A pressure reducing
valve (23), which is usually closed, is arranged in a bypass
passage (21) branching off from the exhaust passage (17) upstream
of the casing. The fuel injector (8) usually injects fuel at
the combustion stroke or the exhaust stroke to feed
hydrocarbon, and NO X  is reduced in the catalyst by the
hydrocarbon. When the catalyst is judged to be poisoned,
the timing of the secondary fuel injection is advanced
with respect to the timing of the usual secondary fuel
injection, and the pressure reducing valve is opened to
reduce the pressure in the casing. In this way, the
catalyst is reactivated.

Abstract: A pressure sensing system (10) employs a plurality
of pulsed lasers (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d), each emitting a
distinct wavelength (λ 1 , λ 2 , λ 3 , λ 4 ) whereby a
multiplexed incident beam is generated. The incident
beam is split into a first portion directed to a first
photodetector (18) that generates a reference signal
(R) for each wavelength, and a second portion that
interrogates a Fabry-Perot pressure sensor (16). The
interrogation beam portion is phase-modulated by gap
width variations in the sensor, and is transmitted to a
second photodetector (20) that generates a measured
intensity signal (5) for each wavelength. For each
wavelength, the ratio (S/R) of the measured intensity
signal (S) to the reference intensity signal (R) is
taken, and yields two terms, one of which is an
interference term that is proportional to the cosine of
the Fabry-Perot phase shift angle , which is a
function of the gap width. By choosing wavelengths
that are in quadrature relationship for a nominal.
Fabry-Perot gap width, the algebraic differences can be
taken among the ratios to yield two expressions
proportional, respectively, to the cosine and sine of
the phase shift angle . An arctangent calculation is
used to obtain the measure of , which is proportional
to the gap width, which, in turn, is a known function
of the pressure applied to the sensor (16).

Abstract: The invention specifies a switched-mode power
supply in which a forward converter is combined with a
flyback converter when only one transformer (TR) is used.
The forward converter comprises the transformer (TR), a
storage coil (L1), a switch (Sp) on the primary side and
a storage capacitor (Ca) on the secondary side. The
energy stored in the storage capacitor (Ca) is
transferred to a further winding of the transformer (TR),
for example a high-voltage winding (WH), using a switch
(Ss) which operates on the flyback-converter principle
and is arranged on the secondary side on a winding (W2)
of the transformer (TR). In this arrangement, the power
drawn from the output winding (WH) determines the value
of the voltage to which the storage capacitor (Ca) is
charged. 
     The switched-mode power supply can be used, in
particular, for high-voltage generation for a television
set or a computer monitor. To generate a high picture
power, it can be connected to the mains directly via a
bridge rectifier.

Abstract: Upon injection molding, a linear encoder (22) detects a relative position between the movable platen (12) and a fixed platen (11), and a strain sensor (20) detects a mold clamping force. A mold clamping control unit (23) has a target platen position value and a target mold clamping force value.

The mold clamping control unit (23) appropriately converts the deviation of either the platen position or the mold clamping force into a control command value for a motor.
