Abstract: A system for detecting and decoding a supplemental barcode (104) accompanying a
primary barcode (102). A supplemental barcode is affixed to a product in the vicinity of a
primary barcode. A scanner in a barcode reading system, such as a point of sale
system, scans for a primary barcode. Upon detection of a primary barcode, the system
inserts a delay while attempting to detect a supplemental barcode. Upon detection of a
secondary barcode, the primary and supplemental barcode information is processed, for
example by sending the information to a terminal connected to the scanner. Upon
expiration of the delay without detection of a supplemental barcode, the primary
barcode information is processed.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a leak in an isolated segment of a pipe with a known fluid:  The
apparatus includes a mechanism for producing a pressure pulse in the pipe. The producing
mechanism is adapted for connection to the pipe. The apparatus includes a mechanism for
sensing the reflection of the pulse in the pipe and a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure in the
pipe. The pressure sensor is adapted for connection to the pipe. The apparatus includes a
mechanism for determining whether the pressure of the fluid in the pipe has negatively deviated
from an expected pressure-temperature relationship of the fluid in the pipe.  A method for
detecting a fluid leak in an isolated segment of a pipe:  The method consists of five steps: Step
1, measure the average propagation velocity of the fluid in an isolated segment of the pipeline at
time t 1 . Step 2, measure the pressure of the fluid in the isolated segment of the pipe at time t 1 .
Step 3, measure the pressure of the fluid in the isolated segment of the pipe at time t 2  and
calculate the change in pressure occurring between t 2  and t 1 . Step 4, measure the avenge
propagation velocity of the fluid in an isolated segment of the pipe at time t 2  and determine the
corresponding change in average temperature. Step 5, calculate the amount of pressure change
due to temperature changes and the amount due to probable leaks.

Abstract: A laminated ring 6 is manufactured by severing a
cylindrical drum 2, which comprises a sheet 1 of
maraging steel with welded opposite ends, into a
plurality of rings 4 of predetermined width, rolling
the rings 4 to a predetermined target circumferential
length, correcting circumferential lengths of the rings
4 aging and nitriding the rings 4, and laminating the
rings 4 into a laminated ring 6 for transmitting power
in a continuously variable transmission. A load
applied to a circumferential edge of each of the rolled
rings 4 and a load applied to another circumferential
edge thereof are measured while supporting an inner
circumferential surface of the ring 4 and applying a
tensile load in a direction to expand the ring 4. The
difference between circumferential lengths of the
circumferential edges of the ring 4 is detected based
on the difference between the loads applied to the
circumferential edges when the difference between the
loads is maximum.

Abstract: A bus bridge (315) is defined to provide an interface between two AHB buses (300, 330). These busses normally have separate requirements but both must provide high performance. The first is for transfer of data from CPU (301, 306) to memory (307, 308, 335) and peripherals. The second is to support the transfer of a large amount of data by a single peripheral (333) to local memory (335) or other local peripherals (331, 332). The AHB-to-HTB bus bridge (315) provides a means for the interfacing these two separate AHB buses allowing communication between them and securing data integrity. The bus bridge (315) of this invention is defined to be an AHB memory bus slave but a high performance data transfer bus master.

Abstract: A controller controls an air-fuel ratio of an engine to maintain the oxygen storage
amount of a catalyst provided in an exhaust passage at a predetermined amount.
At this time, the controller first estimates the initial value of the oxygen storage
amount based on the catalyst temperature on engine startup, and then computes an
oxygen storage characteristic using this estimated initial value. In this way, the
oxygen storage amount can be precisely computed even immediately after engine
startup, and the conversion efficiency of the catalyst is maintained at a high level.

Abstract: A data structure of an image signal includes a reproduction
cycle identifier indicating whether the cycle of image display
for each frame is variable or not. When the display cycle
identifier indicates that the display cycle is fixed, display
cycle data is inserted in a header of the coded image data, and
data relating to the frame number is inserted in each frame. On
the other hand, when the display cycle identifier indicates that
the display cycle is variable, display time data is inserted for
each frame. Therefore, when decoding and displaying the coded
image data having a fixed display cycle, the decoded image data
can be displayed by a simple circuit structure, i.e., based on
the display cycle data and the frame number data having a
relatively small data quantity (bit number), without referring to
the display time data having a relatively large data quantity for
each frame. Furthermore, this data structure can be applied to a
coded image signal having a variable display cycle.
