Abstract: The present invention provides an input torque limiting device for an
infinitely variable transmission 30 connected to an engine 50, wherein the
transmission 30 can vary a speed ratio up to infinity. In the input torque limiting
device, the maximum torque which can be input is computed according to the
output/input speed ratio which is an inverse of the speed ratio, without
adversely affecting the durability and performance of the infinitely variable
transmission, and the engine torque is controlled not to exceed the maximum
torque. In this way, in the infinitely variable transmission 30, input of an
excessive torque when the speed ratio is in the vicinity of infinity is prevented.

Title: Method and apparatus to operate an internal combustion engine with direct injection
Inventor: PANTRING JUERGEN
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: The engine is operated in two different modes of operation. Driver demand for the engine is determined by position of a pedal. Determination of the demand takes into account at least one moment differential between actual moment loss and min. moment loss. Actual loss data take into consideration throttle losses and friction losses in actual mode of operation. Min. losses are determined taking into account min. pressure differential between ambient pressure and intake pipe pressure. The engine has a computer to control all processes.

Abstract: This invention provides a signal break detecting circuit
for reducing time required for detecting a data signal break.
A difference between an average value of data signal amplified
by a limiter amplifier (2) to a predetermined amplitude (output
of a full-wave rectifying circuit (7)) and a peak value (output
of a peak value detecting circuit (5)) is compared with a
reference voltage Vth by a comparator (9) and if the difference
drops below the reference voltage Vth, an alarm is dispatched.
Consequently, as compared to a conventional technology in which
the data signal break is detected by detecting that the peak
value of the reception signal drops to a predetermined value,
time required for detecting a data signal break can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to managing a layered
hierarchical data set. According to one or more embodiments
of the present invention, a hierarchical data set has a state
attribute associated with each data element in the hierarchy.
When a user accesses data element in the hierarchical data
set, a sub-tree of the hierarchical data is presented to the
user. When the user operates on a data element, the state
attribute of the node associated with the data element is
updated. Using the updated state attribute, the entire

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for inserting an optical waveguide (1) with its one end into a ferrule (2) and preliminarily positioning it in such a manner that the end of the optical waveguide somewhat projects beyond the free end of the ferrule (2). The ferrule (2) with the optical waveguide (1) is then placed in a fixation tray (3) and is fixated therein, the optical waveguide (1) remaining preliminarily positioned as described above in the ferrule (2) itself. In this position, it is fixated so strongly by means of suitable fasteners that it cannot get out of place without any intervention from outside. The equipped fixation tray (3) is inserted in the fixation device in the crimp or gluing device, the ferrule (2) being positioned on a stop on an adjusting device (4). Once the equipped ferrule (2) is positioned, a positioning pin (42) is pushed against the end of the optical waveguide in the ferrule, the positioning pin (42) thereby pushing the end of the optical waveguide (1) back into a predetermined final position.

Abstract: L'invention concerne les téléphones cellulaires, appareils devenant de plus en plus courants et populaires parmi tous les secteurs de la population les utilisant pour des conversations d'affaires et privées, y compris chez de nombreux enfants, comptant environ 500 millions d'utilisateurs dans le monde entier et environ 300 000 nouveaux abonnés chaque jour. Il existe une grande inquiétude ainsi qu'une accumulation de preuves que l'émission de micro-ondes transmises par l'antenne cellulaire maintenue près de l'oreille de l'utilisateur peut avoir des effets nocifs sur l'utilisateur et provoquer, par exemple, un cancer du cerveau ou de l'oeil, et éventuellement encore plus chez les enfants. Une des manières les plus courantes d'éviter ces problèmes est d'utiliser des écouteurs personnels avec un microphone, mais le 4/4/2000 était publiée dans le monde entier une étude menée par le magazine de grande diffusion 'Which?' en Grande-Bretagne déterminant que l'écouteur et son câble pouvaient en fait agir comme une antenne et également exposer l'utilisateur aux rayonnements micro-ondes. La présente invention résout ce problème grâce à l'utilisation d'écouteurs avec les téléphones cellulaires et autres dispositifs semblables. On obtient ce résultat par l'élimination de toute matière conductrice de la connexion entre le dispositif de communication personnel et le téléphone, par exemple grâce à l'utilisation de fibres optiques, de façon que le dispositif de communication personnel ne puisse plus agir comme une antenne. L'invention concerne également de nombreuses variantes possibles de cette configuration de base.

Abstract: An apparatus for and method of controlling the cooling rate of a metallic melt in the production of a semi-solid slurry billet for use in a casting process. The apparatus comprises a thermal jacket including symmetrical halves, with each half having a rounded heat transfer surface extending between a pair of longitudinal edges. An actuator mechanism engages the heat transfer surfaces into intimate contact with a vessel containing the metallic melt to effectuate conductive heat transfer between the vessel and the thermal jacket, with the pairs of longitudinal edges of each halve being disposed in a generally opposite, spaced relationship. The thermal jacket includes a plurality of passageways adapted to carry cooling air for extracting heat from the metallic melt, and a plurality of electric heating elements for adding heat to the metallic melt. The cooling rate of the metallic melt is controlled within a range of about 0.1 degrees Celsius per second to about 10 degrees Celsius per second by regulating the flow of cooling air through the passageways and by regulating activation of the heating elements. The thermal jacket includes fluid manifolds disposed at opposite ends of the thermal jacket to distribute and direct the flow of cooling air, and a plurality of exhaust ports extending between each of the passageways to an exterior surface of the thermal jacket to discharge heat laden cooling air in a lateral direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to in-vitro genetically modified T-cells for preventing allogenic transplant rejection in vivo, to methods for producing them and to their use. T-cells of the transplant recipient are stimulated in vitro with cells of the transplant donor or with cells which express dominant MHC molecules and at the same time, transduced with immunomodulating genes by means of gene transfer. After the gene transfer, the transduced T-cells begin to express the immunomodulatory genes. The gene transfer can be carried out using retro viruses, other viral vector systems or liposomes. The conditions selected for the experiment, which result in the generation and expansion of allo-specific T-cells, ensure that the T-cells migrate into the allogenic transplant and into the draining lymph nodes specifically according to the in vivo application and can express the immunomodulating genes there. The invention provides an effective means of preventing the rejection of allogenic transplants (cells, tissues, organs) and is therefore an effective means of inducing and maintaining tolerance of allogenic transplants (cells, tissues, organs) in transplant medicine.
