Inventor: EGUCHI TAKAHIRO
IPC: B60W10/101
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling a starting clutch
(7) of a vehicle having a function of stopping engine
idling so that an engine (1) is automatically stopped
under given conditions when the vehicle is at a
standstill, the starting clutch (7) being disposed in a
transmission of the vehicle in series with a belt type
continuously variable transmission mechanism (5) which
receives an input of a power from the engine through a
power transmission mechanism having built therein
hydraulically operated frictional engaging elements (64,
65), the vehicle start-up from the state of engine
stopping is made smoothly at a good response. At the time
of vehicle start-up from the state of engine stopping,
when the rotational speed (NDR) of the drive pulley (50)
of the transmission mechanism (6) has increased to a
predetermined speed (YNDR2), the control mode of the
starting clutch is switched from the waiting mode in which
the engaging force of the starting clutch (7) is kept
below a creeping force which causes the vehicle to creep,
to a running mode in which the engaging force of the
starting clutch (7) is increased above the creeping force.

Abstract: In a first embodiment of an optical switch (10 having at least
one dual axis micromirror (22, 26 and 28; 50; and 90), the micromirror is
manipulated about two generally perpendicular axes by varying voltage
patterns along two electrostatic arrangements. The two electrostatic
arrangements may be formed to independently drive two movers (76 and 78;
96 and 98), or may be formed to control a mover that is displaceable in two
directions. The micromirrors and the movers that control the micromirrors
may be integrated onto a single substrate (92). Alternatively, the micromirrors
may be formed on a substrate (52) that is attached to the substrate (64) that
includes the mover or movers. In a second embodiment of an optical switch
in accordance with the invention, the switch includes two collimator arrays
(12 and 14) and two dual axis micromirror arrays (16 and 18). Each first
micromirror in the first micromirror array is dedicated to one of the collimators
in the first collimator array. Similarly, each second micromirror of the second
micromirror array is dedicated to one of the collimators of the second
collimator array. By manipulating a first micromirror, an input signal from the
associated first collimator can be reflected to any of the second micromirrors.
By manipulating the second micromirror that receives the signal, the signal
can be precisely positioned on the second collimator that is associated with
the second micromirror.

Abstract: A clutch control apparatus includes a clutch disk (23),
which is engaged with a flywheel (21), by means of a diaphragm
spring (25); a release mechanism (including a rod and an electric
motor (32)) for pressing a central portion of the diaphragm
spring; and a clutch control circuit (40). The flywheel (21) and an
outer circumferential portion of the diaphragm spring (25) abut
each other via taper portions of a pressure plate (24) and an
adjust wedge member (29). The clutch control circuit calculates
an ideal clutch load and an output torque of the electric
motor for a detected stroke of the rod. On the basis of
these values, the clutch control circuit obtains the
acceleration of the rod. The clutch control circuit (40)
estimates a stroke of the rod from the obtained acceleration
and causes the adjust wedge member (29) to rotate such that a
detected actual stroke and the estimated stroke become equal,
thereby modifying the attitude of the diaphragm spring
accordingly.

Abstract: A syringe pump has an arm 21 swung against the barrel of the syringe 3. The arm 21 is coupled to a strip mask 30 having a row of transparent apertures 31 to 35 of differing length. The mask 30 extends above a CCD array 40 of sensing elements 41 and below a concave mirror 43, which produces a collimated beam of radiation on the mask from an LED 42. The length of sensing elements 41 exposed to radiation through an aperture 31 to 35 in the mask 30 gives an approximate indication of barrel size; the position of an edge of the aperture gives an accurate indication. The pump compares the barrel size with information relating size to syringe type and produces an indication of syringe type on a display 11. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A NAND type nonvolatile memory comprising: a sense
circuit (100) having a constant current supply source
(P7) connected to a bit line (BL) to which memory cells
(MC00-MC30) are connected and a sense transistor (N8)
for sensing potential at the connection point thereof;
a first reference potential source (ARVss) on the
opposite side from the bit line of the memory cells
(MC00-MC30); and a second reference potential source
(PBVss) to which the source of the sense transistor
(N8) is connected, wherein during Erase-verify
operations the first reference potential (ARVss) and
the second reference potential (PBVss) are controlled
to a predetermined positive potential. By controlling
the first reference potential (ARVss) to the positive
potential, the control gate level of a memory cell
(MC00-MC30) can be equivalently brought to the
Erase-verify level (which is negative), and by further
controlling the second reference potential (PBVss) of
the sense transistor (N8) to the positive potential as
well, the equivalent threshold voltage of the sense
transistor (N8) can be increased, or the equivalent
trip level of the sense inverter increased, thereby
solving the conventional problems associated with
Erase-verify operations.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating with an integrated circuit is provided that
allows an integrated circuit to communicate debugging information and system bus
transaction information with an external system. The system may include an interface
protocol that provides flow control between the integrated circuit and the external system.
The system may include a high-speed link and/or a JTAG link for communicating
information. A link may be automatically selected by a debug circuit, or selected by an on-chip
device or external system. The high-speed link enables real-time collection of trace
information. Links may be memory-mapped, such that on-chip devices and other devices
attached to the system bus may access the external system. The high-speed link may also
operate at a rate which is integrally coupled with a rate of the processor or system bus.
Further, the high-speed link may be adapted to change speeds in response to a change in
operating speed of the system bus or processor. The JTAG interface may utilize standard
JTAG components and instructions such that external devices such as debug adaptors
adopting these components and instructions may be re-used for different integrated circuit
types. Information transmitted over the JTAG or high-speed link may be compressed to
optimize available bandwidth of the links. Also, processor control signals can be transferred
through links that allow an external system to manipulate and monitor operation of the
processor and its associated modules.

Abstract: A wireless communication network includes at least two programmable
application processors (APs) for message processing. Each AP runs one or more active
radio control software (RCS) instances on behalf of a defined cell group and one or more
standby RCS instances on behalf of at least one other cell group. Each cell in the
network is connected to a pair of APs. One AP runs an active RCS instance on behalf of
the cell and the other AP runs a standby RCS instance on behalf of the cell. What is
disclosed is a system and method for performing dynamic load balancing during system
operation between a pair of APs (AP pair) serving at least one cell in common. In a first
step, selection is made, relative to at least one cell served by the AP pair, of a first RCS
instance running as an active RCS instance on one member of the AP pair and a second
RCS instance running as a standby RCS instance on the other member of the AP pair.
The first RCS instance is redesignated as a standby RCS instance for the cell and the
second RCS instance is redesignated as an active RCS instance for the cell. Active
message processing is then transferred from the first RCS instance to the second RCS
instance during network operation and without service interruption to the cell. In a
variation the foregoing, an entire group of RCS instances (active or standby) can be
moved from one AP to another. Also disclosed is a distributed mated-pair processor
arrangement in which the standby RCS instances for a cell group are distributed across
multiple APs.

Abstract: An Integrated locomotive braking and ECP braking control (5) on a lead locomotive (10)
for implementing braking effort on all locomotives in a manner relative to braking effort applied
on ECP freight cars. On the lead locomotive, a data interface can be established between a
head-end-unit (25) and a brake controller (27). The head-end-unit can electrically signal each ECP freight
car (13) to carry out braking commands. The integrated brake control can include a CPU, as part of
either the brake controller or the head-end-unit, which can be programmed to provide braking
effort on the lead locomotive relative to the braking effort applied on the ECP freight cars. The
braking on the lead locomotive is implemented by the brake controller by controlling the
independent brake relative to the braking effort commanded on the ECP freight cars. The
independent brake (42) on non-ECP trailing locomotives (11) is connected to the lead locomotive
independent brake via a standard independent brake pneumatic connection. As a result, the same
braking effort applied on the lead locomotive via the independent brake (32) is automatically
implemented on the non-ECP trailing locomotives via the independent brake pneumatic
connection such that all locomotives are braked relative to braking on the ECP freight cars.
