Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve the
performance of purifying an exhaust gas by suppressing
the variation of the air-fuel ratio of an engine
occurring when the rotation cycle of the engine is
substantially synchronous with the drive cycle of a
purging control valve, and to prevent misfiring caused by
a lean air-fuel mixture. 
     An evaporative control system comprises: a purging
control valve, located in a purge passage for
communicating a canister with an intake passage of an
engine, for controlling an amount of purged gas; an
air-fuel ratio sensor; a fuel injection control means, an
engine speed detecting means, a duty cycle limiting means
that, when a synchronism engine speed domain judging
means for judging whether or not the engine speed of the
engine falls within a synchronism domain in which
synchronism with the drive cycle of the purging control
valve is substantially attained, judges that the engine
speed of the engine 1 falls within the synchronism
domain, and limits a duty cycle to a value within a set
range according to the engine speed of the engine; a
purge ratio calculating means for calculating a purge
ratio according to the duty cycle limited to any value;
and a purging control valve open/close control means for
opening or closing the purging control valve at the duty

Abstract: An apparatus[10, 500, 600] and method for measuring the thickness of a film [15, 216,
315, 415] having top and bottom surfaces. The apparatus[10, 500, 600] includes low
coherence light source[12] that generates a probe light signal. The film[15, 216, 315, 415] is
positioned against a roller[314,460] having a partially reflecting surface that is positioned at a
fixed distance from the film[15, 216, 315, 415]. The probe light signal is applied to the
film[15, 216, 315, 415] and is then reflected back through the film[15, 216, 315, 415] by the
partially reflecting surface. The light leaving the film[15, 216, 315, 415] is collected to form
the input to a receiver[18] that determines the time delay between light reflected from the top
and bottom surfaces of the film[15, 216, 315, 415]. The receiver output may also be used to
determine the thickness of the various layers in a multi-layer film[15, 216, 315, 415].

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for selectively measuring color
values of a transmittance sample in a transmittance mode and a reflectance
sample in a reflectance mode. The spectrophotometer includes two light
channels, a first light channel from a light source to a first detector and a second
light channel from the same light source to a second detector. The light channels
conduct the light through the spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer includes
appropriate circuitry to compare the light striking the first and second detectors
to determine the color value of a sample. A transmittance cell is located in the
first light channel for selectively receiving a transmittance sample. When a
sample is present, light passing through the transmittance sample is altered
because the sample selectively absorbs some of the wavelengths of light. The
spectrophotometer also includes a reflectance measurement area in the second
light channel for selectively receiving a reflectance sample. When a sample is
present, the light reflects off of the sample, the sample selectively absorbs certain
wavelengths of light and reflects other wavelengths of light. When the
spectrophotometer is in said transmittance mode, the transmittance sample is in
the transmittance cell and a non-light altering element (such as a white tile) is in
said reflectance measurement area. When the spectrophotometer is in the
reflectance mode the transmittance cell is empty and the reflectance sample is
received in the reflectance measurement area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling transparency operatives
simultaneously with raster operatives in a graphics environment.
This is achieved by introducing filter operations to obtain the
effect of transparency. Filter operations work cooperatively with
grayscale and continuous-tone color raster operations. The
introduction of filter operations, and their cooperation with
raster operations allows this otherwise computationally complex
problem to be served by a single hardware circuit for use in real-time
applications such as monochrome and color laser printing. The
solution is also applicable to displaying complex graphics on a
video display device. A suitable apparatus receives graphics
language commands which define the image to be displayed and
generates a set of graphics orders from the graphics language
commands representing the image to be displayed. The apparatus
includes an image generator for generating a bitmap image from the
graphics orders. A raster operation model is used for processing
multiple-bit pixels in a source, in a pattern and in a
destination, and a filter operation model is used for processing
multiple-bit pixels in the source, pattern and destination. The
raster operation model and the filter operation model operate
cooperatively to modify the destination.

Abstract: An architecture for an extended multiprocessor (XMP)
computer system is provided. The XMP computer system
includes multiple SMP nodes. Each SMP node includes an XMP
interface and a repeater structure coupled to the XMP
interface. The SMP nodes are connected to each other by
unidirectional point-to-point links. The repeater structure
in each SMP node includes an upper level bus, one or more
transaction repeaters coupled to the upper level bus. Each
transaction repeater broadcasts transactions to bus devices
attached to a lower level bus, wherein each transaction
repeater is coupled to a separate lower level bus. 
     Transaction repeater includes a queue and a bypass path.
Transaction originating in a particular SMP node are stored
in the queue, whereas transactions originating in other SMP
nodes bypass the incoming queue to the bus device. Multiple
transactions may be simultaneously broadcast across the
point-to-point link connections between the SMP nodes.
However, transactions are broadcast to the SMP nodes in a
defined, uniform order. A control signal is asserted by the
XMP interface so that a transaction is received by bus
devices in the originating node from the incoming queues at
the same time and in the same order it is received by bus
devices in non-originating nodes. Thus a hierarchical bus
structure is provided that overcomes physical/electrical
limitations of single bus architecture while maximizing bus
bandwidth utilization.

Abstract: Frequency warping approaches to speaker
normalization have been proposed and evaluated on
various speech recognition tasks. In all cases,
frequency warping was found to significantly improve
recognition performance by reducing the mismatch between
test utterances presented to the recognizer and the
speaker independent HMM model. This invention relates
to a procedure which compensates utterances by
simultaneously scaling the frequency axis and reshaping
the spectral energy contour. This procedure is shown to
reduce the error rate in a telephone based connected
digit recognition task by 30%.
