Abstract: Anti-theft system and method in which re-registration and deletion of a code is performed without using an exclusive tool. Modes are changed to a master key code registration mode when an ignition switch is switched from OFF to ON  five times consecutively within T1 seconds after a master key having its code registered is inserted into a key cylinder, within the following T2 seconds an opening and closing operation of a door is repeated six times, and the ignition switch is switched off and then the key is removed from the key cylinder. When a master key, a new code of which is to be registered is then inserted into the key cylinder within T3 seconds after the master key having a code already registered is pulled out of the key cylinder, and the ignition switch is turned on within T4 seconds after the insertion of the master key into the key cylinder, an identification code to be registered is read out of a transponder, and after a lapse of T5 seconds the identification code so read out is registered in memory as a registration code.

Abstract: The present invention is a cushion for a pet, preferably a cat, comprising a bed formed from a sheet comprising a plurality of layers of raw unwoven, uncovered polyester. Each layer comprises a solid first fiber and a second fiber that has a core and a sheath surrounding the core. The sheath has a lower melting temperature than the core. The sheet is then heated to the temperature, where the sheath of the second fiber melts and sticks to the adjacent fiber, whether a first or a second fiber, and is then cooled until the second fiber solidifies, attached to the adjacent fiber. The resulting material is a matted web of layered, electrostatic fibers that is subsequently cut into a right cylinder having a closed end of suitable size, such as large enough to accommodate a sleeping cat. The cylinder wall is then folded down on itself from its open end to form an annular upright wall having an inside layer and an outside layer, where the outside layer compresses the inside layer to form a more rigid wall.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une composition de polymère de carbonate comprenant: (a) un polymère de carbonate ayant un poids moléculaire moyen en poids de 20.000 à 40.000; (b) de plus de 0,1 à moins de 1,0 % en poids, par rapport au poids de la composition de polymère de carbonate, d'un composé d'ester de phosphate aromatique ayant une faible volatilité; et éventuellement (c) de 0,001 à 0,1 % en poids, par rapport au poids de la composition de polymère de carbonate, d'un sel de métal alcalin ayant un pH au moins égal à 7. L'ester de phosphate aromatique et d'une faible volatilité est de préférence choisi dans le groupe comprenant des composés d'oligomères d'ester de phosphate aromatique ou des composés de phosphate haloaryle. On utilise, de préférence, un ester de phosphate aromatique d'une faible volatilité qui subit une perte de poids ne dépassant pas 5 % en poids à 250 DEG  C, lorsqu'il est chauffé à une température de 500 DEG  C au cours d'une analyse thermogravimétrique à une vitesse de chauffage de 20 DEG  C par minute, et de préférence encore, ne dépassant pas 40 % à 300 DEG  C. De manière étonnante, ces compositions correspondent aux exigences V-2 de l'Underwriter's Laboratory (UL-94), sans pour autant que l'on assiste à une perte sensible des combinaisons intéressantes des propriétés de résines à base de polymère de carbonate. Dans des applications d'extrusion de feuilles, il est préférable d'inclure l'éventuel sel de métal alcalin basique afin de répondre aux exigences V-2.

Abstract: A co-channel interference canceler and a method therefor. The co-channel interference canceler includes: a co-channel interference rejection filter for outputting a second signal by performing co-channel interference rejection filtering on a first signal including co-channel interference; a selection signal generator for generating a selection signal which selects the signal with less error by calculating the error of each of the first and second signals with respect to a reference signal; a selection corrector for outputting a corrected selection signal by correcting the selection signal such that a predetermined one of the first and second signals is selected in a predetermined error region; and a selector for selecting one of the first and second signals according to the corrected selection signal. Therefore,unlike the selection signal whose state is easily changed even when the channel condition changes only slightly, the selection signal for driving the NRF is maintained in a predetermined error region to select a predetermined path, thereby improving stability and performance of the system.

Granted: 2001-08-14
Abstract: The main components of an earphone-microphone-earmuff assembly are an earphone, a microphone and an earmuff. Besides using the assembly as a whole, each component can be independently used as well. The assembly has several parts including a mounting cap, an earphone, an earmuff, and each part has its own mounting structure or structures for interconnection. In operation, the mounting cap and the earphone can be assembled together just for listening. Alternatively, the mounting cap and the earmuff can be assembled together just for ear warming or noise shielding. However, the mounting cap, the earmuff and the earphone can all be put together for hearing, ear warming and noise shielding. Furthermore, a microphone can also be installed on the earphone for easy communication.

Title: Electric vehicle with variable efficiency regenerative braking depending upon battery charge state
Inventor: GREWE TIMOTHY M
IPC: B60L50/15
Filed: 1998-11-12
Granted: 2006-03-21
Abstract: An electric vehicle is controlled to conform its operation to that of a conventional internal-combustion-engine powered vehicle. In some embodiments, the charging of the batteries by the auxiliary source of electricity and from dynamic braking is ramped in magnitude when the batteries lie in a state of charge between partial charge and full charge, with the magnitude of the charging being related to the relative state of charge of the battery. The deficiency between traction motor demand and the energy available from the auxiliary electrical source is provided from the batteries in an amount which depends upon the state of the batteries, so that the full amount of the deficiency is provided when the batteries are near full charge, and little or no energy is provided by the batteries when they are near a discharged condition. At charge states of the batteries between near-full-charge and near-full-discharge, the batteries supply an amount of energy which depends monotonically upon the charge state. Charging of the batteries from the auxiliary source is reduced during dynamic braking when the batteries are near full charge. Control of the amount of energy returned during dynamic braking may be performed by control of the transducing efficiency of the traction motor operated as a generator.

Abstract: An inductor assembly is disclosed for protecting electronic circuitry in a downhole equipment string. The inductor assembly includes a plurality of modular inductors coupled to one another in series to provide the desired inductance. The modular inductors are supported by a support structure in a protective housing, such as in a common housing with the electronic circuitry. The inductor assembly is electrically isolated from the housing. The support structure may include insulative end members and rail members extending between the end members to which the inductors are secured. One or more insulative covers are provided around the inductors to further isolate the inductors from the housing. The inductor assembly dissipates energy in the event of certain failure modes of power supply circuitry or lines extending from the earth's surface. The inductor may be secured electrically between a neutral node in a Y-wound motor to prevent high voltage ac waveforms from damaging the electronic circuitry. Insulation of the inductors inhibits arcing with the housing, thereby inhibiting damage to the inductors or the electronic circuitry during such failure modes.

Access Beans hide the home and remote interface methods of an Enterprise JavaBeans server from a client program so that the task of consuming an enterprise bean is one of consuming a standard Java bean. The home interface method of the enterprise bean is mapped to appropriate constructors in the Access Bean; and the remote interface method of the enterprise bean is mapped to Java Beans methods which in turn call the corresponding business methods on the enterprise bean. More than one type of Access Bean permits caching of attributes of the enterprise bean and indexing the cache so that a plurality of instances of an enterprise bean can be efficiently supported.
