Abstract: A lockup control system for a torque converter of a vehicle equipped with an
air conditioner. The lockup control system maintains a coasting slip restricted state
of the torque converter even during coasting of the vehicle with an accelerator pedal
released, for restricting slip rotation between input and output elements of the torque
converter. The coasting slip restricted state is achieved by a coasting lockup
capacity that is lower than a lockup capacity of the torque converter in a driving
condition of the vehicle with the accelerator pedal depressed. According to the
invention, the coasting lockup capacity is controlled according to an operation load
of the air conditioner and increased as the operation load of the air conditioner
increases.

Title: Source de plasma bipolaire, source de nappe de plasma et cellule d'effusion faisant appel a une source de plasma bipolaire
Inventor: MASCHWITZ PETER
IPC: C23C14/32
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une source de plasma comprenant une structure composée de deux cathodes creuses reliées à une alimentation en courant alternatif bipolaire.  L'alimentation en courant alternatif bipolaire applique en alternance une tension négative à une cathode creuse et une tension positive à l'autre cathode.  Tandis qu'une tension négative est appliquée à l'une des deux cathodes creuses, une décharge à cathode creuse se forme à l'intérieur de la cavité correspondante.  L'autre cathode forme alors une anode, ce qui fait que les électrons s'échappent du plasma et rejoignent l'autre côté, fermant de la sorte le circuit électrique.  Le générateur plasma ainsi constitué peut être utilisé comme source de chaleur d'une cellule d'effusion permettant de former un plasma à partir d'un gaz réactif, ou pour augmenter la réactivité d'un gaz situé entre une source de dépôt sous vide et un substrat à revêtir.

Abstract: The combination of narrowband applications with broadband transport may be enabled by implementing a hybrid switch capable of operating as a narrowband switch, a broadband switch, and/or a combination narrowband/broadband switch. The hybrid switch may be initially installed/activated as a narrowband switch in order to operate with a network of all or mostly all narrowband switches. Eventually, the hybrid switch may be used entirely as a broadband switching mechanism when operated with a network of all or mostly all broadband switches. In the interim, the hybrid switch may be operated in a narrowband or a broadband mode on a communication-by-communication basis, for example, depending on the capabilities of the node or nodes to be used in establishing a given communication. The hybrid switch may include both broadband (e.g., ATM) and narrowband (e.g., STM) switching components.

Abstract: A data processing network and method for conserving energy in which an initial negotiation between a network server and a switch to which the server is connected is performed to establish an initial operating frequency of the server-switch link. An effective data rate of the server is determined based on network traffic at the server. Responsive to determining that the effective data rate is materially different than the current operating frequency, a subsequent negotiation is performed to establish a modified operating frequency where the modified operating frequency is closer to the effective data rate than the initial operating frequency. The determination of the effective date rate and the contingent initiation of a subsequent negotiation may be repeated periodically during the operating of the network. In one embodiment, the initial and subsequent negotiation are compliant with the IEEE 802.3 standard.

IPC: H01T13/41

Abstract: In a spark plug (100), a resistor (15) is placed
between a terminal (13) and a center electrode (3) within
a through hole (50) of an insulator (2). The through hole
(50) of the insulator (2) has a first portion (51) which
allows the center electrode (3) to be inserted
therethrough, and a second portion (52) which is formed on
a rear side of the first portion (51) so as to be larger
in diameter than the first portion (51) and which
accommodates the resistor (15) therein, where the second
portion (52) is connected to the first portion (51) via a
connecting portion (55) including a two- or more-stepped
reduced-diameter portion. Then, an electrically
conductive glass seal layer (16) is placed at a position
corresponding to the connecting portion (55) between the
resistor (15) and the center electrode (3). When the
glass seal layer is formed by filling electrically
conductive glass powder and its heating and compression,
the pressurizing cross-sectional area in the axial
direction is reduced to an extent of diameter reduction by
the reduced-diameter portion of the connecting portion
(55), so that a sufficient compressing force can be
ensured in event that the pressurizing force is lost, for
example, due to friction between the upper filler material
(e.g., resistor material powder) and the wall surface of
the through hole (50). By virtue of this arrangement, the
sintering of the glass seal layer (16) progresses
sufficiently so that the burns of carbon in the glass seal
portion and the oxidization of metal components become
unlikely to occur. Thus, such trouble as increase in
conduction resistance can be avoided over a long term.
