Patent EP-0533495-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AKAZAKI SHUSUKE
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 1992-09-18
Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine controls the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine to a desired air-fuel ratio in response to an output from an exhaust gas ingredient concentration sensor. A first value of the desired air-fuel ratio is calculated (S7) based on the rotational speed of the engine and the load on the engine. A second value of the desired air-fuel ratio is calculated (S8) based on results of determination of whether a vehicle on which the engine is installed has just started from a standing position thereof. A third value of the desired air-fuel ratio is calculated (S9) based on results of determination of whether the temperature of the engine is lower than a predetermined value. The largest value of at least the first to third values of the desired air-fuel ratio is set to a final value of the desired air-fuel ratio.

Abstract: A sensing circuit for dynamic random access memory is disclosed including a pair of bitlines precharged to a first voltage before sensing. A sense amplifier circuit is provided having one node thereof being connected to an external power supply via a switching means including pulsed sense clocks. Control means is provided and is connected to the switching means for controlling the switching means such that the voltage of the power supply is coupled to the node of the sense amplifier for activation for a predetermined period of time, thereby limiting the swing for the high-going bitline to a second voltage lower than said power supply voltage and higher than said first voltage. The reduced bitline swings are achieved by means of the pulsed sense clocks and the pulse widths for sense clocks are determined by means of a reference bitlines connected to the control means.

Abstract: A method for recording press products such as periodicals (11) is proposed which are provided with machine-readable coding (16) and which are returned by the retailer to the wholesaler or producer for financial reimbursement or crediting. For this purpose, the press products to be returned are initially input at the retailers into a return container (10) which is provided with an opening (12) for throwing in the press products. Furthermore, a reader (15) is arranged in the area of the opening (12) and storage means are provided for storing at least the respective number of the different types of press products detected by the reader (15), this storage being automatic. Evaluation is effected by means of a computer (17) and a printout of the crediting can be generated. This method and the corresponding device make it possible completely to dispense with the previous cumbersome counting and filling out of return forms and also largely eliminate errors and complaints. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In producing granules of α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester having a particle size of falling within a determined particle size range by compaction granulation, formation of fine powdery α-APM is prevented by breaking the compacted α-APM so that the one-pass yield of the granules is elevated and the sieving efficiency is elevated. 
     In a method of preparing granules of α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester by compaction granulation of the ester singly or along with a vehicle of not more than the same amount of the ester, after the compaction or after having roughly broken the compacted material, the material is broken down so as to pass through a screen or perforated plate having pores with a diameter falling within the range of from 1 mm to 10 mm and then further broken and classified.

Title: Coated inorganic particles
Inventor: ROBB JOHN
IPC: C08F2/44
Filed: 1993-05-06
Abstract: A novel inorganic particulate powder coated with an organic polymer is claimed. The product is obtainable by dispersing in water inorganic particles at a pH higher than their isoelectric point in the presence of a polymeric polybasic acid as a dispersing agent to produce particles having a modified isoelectric point. The pH of the dispersion is then adjusted to a value below 9 but above the modified isoelectric point and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer is polymerised in the presence of the dispersion so as to coat the inorganic particles with polymerised monomer. A method for forming the particles is also claimed. 
     The particles prepared by the method have been shown to be uniformly and discretely coated with an organic polymeric coating and can be used in many applications where it is desired to disperse inorganic particles in organic media such as paints, inks and plastics compositions.

Abstract: A brake booster mounting including a support (3) to which the booster (1) is securable by means of at least one mounting bolt (4), and a captive nut (8) located on a side of the support (3) opposite to that to which the booster (1) is to be attached and which is engageable by the bolt (4) so as to effect attachment of the booster (1) to the support (3). The captive nut (8) is held against separation from the support (3) and is also held against rotation by a retainer (10) so that connection of the bolt (4) to the nut (8) can be effected from the side of the support (3) to which the booster (1) is to be attached. A pilot section (25) on one end of the bolt (4) locates within the captive nut (8) so as to thereby automatically position the nut (8) to be cooperable with a threaded portion (17) of the bolt (4). The bolt (4) also serves to hold separable parts (5,6) of the booster housing (1) against separation, and is rotatable relative to those parts to permit the booster (1) to be attached to or detached from the support (3). The bolt (4) further serves to attach a brake master cylinder (2) to the booster (1), and has a tool engaging facility (18) at the end remote from the pilot section (25).

Abstract: A rotatable pin, screw-in pacemaker lead assembly has a conductor coil enclosed within a silicone insulating tube. The conductor coil has a distal end secured to a helix electrode and a proximal end including a rotatable connector pin. The outer surface area of the conductor coil is coated with a super thin film of biocompatible Teflon. The Teflon coating substantially reduces the friction between the conductor coil and the inner wall of the insulating tube during lead fixation, thereby substantially reducing the number of turns of the connector pin required to effect fixation of the helix electrode.

Abstract: In a method for simulating the sound and/or listening impression at a representative listening location, the room impulse response h(n) is determined separately for the left ear and the right ear. In this connection it is irrelevant whether the room is an actually existing real room or a virtual room. Of the room impulse response h(n) determined, only those components which are determining for the sound impression are used, that is to say components of the room impulse response h(n) which are smaller than a predetermined threshold are ignored. This considerably simplifies the circuit complexity for convoluting the electroacoustic signal to be reproduced with the relevant room impulse response. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A three or more section reverse Δβ directional coupler (10) designed to operate at a number of coupling lengths (L/ℓ) selected from a region of a corresponding switching diagram where the cross and bar state switching curves are approximately parallel to each other and to the vertical axis, the vertical axis defining numbers of coupling lengths, or from a region of corresponding process sensitivity plots for the cross and bar states where the cross and bar state voltage curves are both approximately of zero slope. A number of these directional couplers form an optical switching array and a number of arrays form a system or network for switching optical signals each of which are capable of operation with uniform cross and bar state voltages at low crosstalk levels.

Abstract: A process for successfully combining the results of several classifiers provides a method for calculating confidences of each classification decision for every classifier involved. Confidences are then combined according to the Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence. Initially, basic probability assignments for each of the classifiers are calculated and used to calculate confidences for each classifier. The confidences for all of the classifiers are then combined. The combined confidences are then used to determine a class for the data input to the classifiers.
