Patent EP-1132637-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GOCHENOUR DANIEL V
IPC: F16D13/46
Filed: 1995-06-12
Abstract: A friction device includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting
the device in response to wear on a friction surface
within the device. The adjustment mechanism includes a
first cam ring and a second cam ring adjacent the first cam
ring. In one embodiment, the first cam ring is adapted for
axial, but non-rotational movement with respect to a cover
of the friction device, the cover being secured to a driving
member for transmitting torque. The second cam ring is
adapted for rotational movement with respect to the cover
and the first cam ring. The first cam ring has a plurality
of annular ramped surfaces on an axial face of the first
cam ring. The second cam ring has a plurality of annular
ramped surfaces on an axial face opposing the axial face of
the first cam ring. The second cam ring is rotated with
respect to the first cam ring such that the ramped surfaces
cam against each other to increase the axial displacement
of the first cam ring and the second cam ring, whereby the
axial displacement is adapted to compensate for wear on a
friction surface of a member of the friction device.

Abstract: The present invention provides an engine power train
control method and control apparatus for a vehicle having an
engine and an automatic transmission capable of quickly
changing an air-fuel ratio to meet the requirements of the
exhaust gas without producing shocks and without reducing an
engine torque. The invention has following components. 
     An air-fuel ratio command value is varied stepwise for
transition between an air-fuel ratio for lean-burn operation
and a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and, at the same time, an
air amount fed to the engine is varied stepwise. In a fixed
period following the completion of the stepwise variation of
air-fuel ratio command value, a basic fuel amount fed to the
engine is varied stepwise from a value determined according to
the air amount and an engine speed to a value determined
according to a position of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle
and the engine speed. 
     The invention provides that shocks do not occur and the
operability is improved, because the engine torque remains
substantially constant through the air-fuel ratio transition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a storage device (20-24) that enables
identification data to be readily rewritten and ensures normal
completion of a data writing operation in a short time period. In the
storage device of the invention, an ID comparator (203) determines whether
or not identification data transmitted from a host computer coincides
with identification data stored in a memory array (201). In the case of
coincidence, the ID comparator sends an access enable signal EN to
an operation code decoder (204). The operation code decoder (204) analyzes a
write/read command, switches over a direction of data transfer with
regard to the memory array based on a result of the analysis, and
requires an I/O controller to change a high impedance setting of a
signal line connecting with a data terminal DT. This series of
processing allows access to an address in the memory array specified
by a count on an address counter.

Abstract: This method of reducing the noise caused by the relative movement of parts whose surfaces are in contact consists of a plasma refinement process in which a thin layer of plasma is added to the surfaces, which has a lower adhesion and deformation component of the friction. Alternatively the surface structure is changed by plasma treatment so that the noise caused by the friction between the parts, such as doors, is reduced or removed without detracting from the appearance of the vehicle surface.

Abstract: In encoding/decoding methods, as to a symbol of such a
probability value equal to power of 1/2, an occupation rate of a
valid section is corrected in such a manner that this occupation
rate may become the probability value, and partial sections are
allocated thereto. As a result, an encoding efficiency is improved.
An encoding/decoding method for predicting appearance probability
of an information source symbol, while learning, and for dividing
a valid section on a numerical straight line into both a first
partial section to which an approximate value of the above-mentioned
prediction appearance probability is applied and a second partial
section remained in the valid section, to which such an arithmetic
code is applied, the arithmetic code setting a partial section
corresponding to an appearing symbol as a new valid section, is
operated by storing thereinto such a fact that the prediction
appearance probability is a specific value; by judging that the
prediction appearance probability is equal to the specific value
by referring to the relevant specific value; and by correcting an
allocation between the first partial section and the second partial
section when the judgement operation judges that the prediction
appearance probability is equal to the specific value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements of out-of-order
CPU architecture regarding performance purposes, and in
particular to an improved method and system for operating a high
frequency out-of-order processor with increased pipeline length.
A new scheme is disclosed to reduce the pipeline by the
detection and exploitation of so called "no_dependency" for an
instruction. A "no dependency" signal tells that all required
source data is available for the instruction at least one cycle
before the source data valid bit(s) are inserted into the issue
queue. Therefore, one or more stages (520,530) of the pipeline
are bypassed. Bypassing the pipeline stages for this "no
dependency" conditions is especially important since a no
dependency is found when the queue is empty. Furthermore, this
bypass is very effective when the queue is relatively empty.
Therefore, introducing such a bypass reduces effectively the
performance drawback of a longer pipeline.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, des convertisseurs d'impédance à différence de fréquence destinés à des amplificateurs de puissance peuvent changer l'impédance présentée à une entrée d'un amplificateur de puissance à une fréquence qui est une fonction d'une différence entre les plages de fréquences de réception et d'émission. Le convertisseur d'impédance à différence de fréquence peut, par conséquent, réduire les bruits à la différence de fréquence qui pourrait, sans cela, être mélangée avec les fréquences d'émission afin de produire des bruits dans la plage de fréquence de réception. Plus précisément, des convertisseurs d'impédance à différence de fréquence peuvent comprendre un premier circuit conduisant les premiers signaux vers une entrée de l'amplificateur de puissance. Un second circuit est couplé électriquement à l'entrée de l'amplificateur de puissance et change l'impédance présentée à l'entrée de l'amplificateur de puissance à la différence de fréquence. L'invention concerne également les systèmes d'amplificateurs de puissance, les terminaux sans fil utilisateur et les procédés relatifs.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de nettoyer une surface de sol, comprenant des éléments de support de poids destinés à supporter le poids de l'appareil sur la surface de sol. L'appareil comprend une brosse pourvue d'une plaque base portant un ensemble de poils. Ladite brosse possède une pluralité de passages d'alimentation, chacun d'eux communiquant avec une partie de l'ensemble de poils. Elle est fixée, de manière lâche, à l'aide d'un couplage qui transmet un couple souple à un axe de façon à tourner autour d'un axe central de rotation. Elle est également fixée à un arbre de moteur de sorte que, lorsqu'on l'utilise, elle est sensible aux irrégularités de la surface du sol, à mesure que l'appareil se déplace sur ladite surface de sol dans un sens généralement parallèle à l'axe central de rotation et/ou dans un sens généralement perpendiculaire à celui-ci.

Lorsqu'on utilise l'appareil, un agent de nettoyage sous forme de mousse est distribué sur un emplacement de la surface supérieure de la brosse, vers l'intérieur des passages d'alimentation. La rotation de la brosse produit une force qui pousse l'agent de nettoyage distribué sous forme de mousse dans un sens extérieur radial, de l'axe central de rotation vers la cloison. La cloison dévie l'agent de nettoyage sous forme de mousse dans les passages d'alimentation et dans les poils de la brosse.
