Title: Fuel injection controller for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: AUGUSTIN ULRICH
IPC: F02M59/46
Filed: 1998-01-14
Abstract: A fuel injection controller for an internal combustion engine having a high-pressure pump is provided with a solenoid valve which is arranged between the high-pressure pump and injection nozzles. The solenoid valve has a magnetically actuated valve body 2 whose closing element 2a which is arranged in a low-pressure space 9 interacts with a valve seat 3 on the housing 1 of the solenoid valve. Fuel is sucked into the high-pressure pump in the injection intervals via a low-pressure system 10, 14,14a,13 connected to the low-pressure space 9, while the closing element 2a interrupts the connection to the low-pressure system 9 in the injection cycle by magnet actuation. A throttle point 12 is arranged in the low-pressure system 9 in such a way that, at the start of the injection interval, a pressure is built up in the low-pressure space 9 and causes the closing element 2a to be displaced in the direction of the closing position.

Title: Emulating hardware in a semiconductor device test system
Inventor: SAUER ROBERT F
IPC: G01R31/319
Filed: 1998-02-07
Abstract: A semiconductor device test system tests a semiconductor device 14 by applying a test signal to the device 14, and comparing the resultant output with expected value data. An emulator includes an emulator unit 23 which emulates a function of each hardware unit of the test system 13, and a device emulator 24 which emulates the functions of the device under test. Imaginary test and resultant signals are compared in order to emulate the operation of the device evaluation program 11, 21. The emulator can be combined with the test system's operating system, whereby hardware table data (54, fig. 7) used in the compilation and interpretation of test programs (51, fig. 7) can be modified independently of the compiler (53, fig. 7). The emulator thus enables the evaluation of hardware control data associated with the change and addition of testing hardware, and the development and debugging of device programs 11, without needing to use the actual test system hardware.

Title: Mobile radiophone apparatus
Inventor: MATSUMOTO KOUICHI
IPC: G10L19/16
Filed: 1998-06-24
Abstract: In a mobile radiophone analog voice signals 4 are converted 5 to n (eg 32) bit digital form and stored in a memory 6; a microprocessor 9 finds the maximum of the quantised data in the memory and on that basis selects 7 a smaller number (eg 14) of bits for voice encoding 8 and transmission 18-19; and a conversion parameter corresponding to said selection is included in the transmitted signal. The selected bits convey the most significant bits of all samples stored in the memory in a fixed time period reducing quantisation errors and allowing more faithful reproduction 10-13 and 3 of received 17 signals.

Title: Multi-level nonvolatile semiconductor memory device with a circuit for adjusting data sensing time
Inventor: CHOI BYENG-SOON
IPC: G11C11/56
Filed: 1998-11-17
Abstract: A multi-level nonvolatile semiconductor memory device 1000, comprises a dummy cell array 220, a dummy cell sense amplifier circuit 240, a sensing time control signal generating circuit 260 and a sensing period signal generating circuit 280. According to this configuration, each sensing period of a data reading operation is automatically determined by means of those, so that each sensing period (time) is optimized even though the amount of cell current flowing through each cell differs at the data states from each other under a constant gate-source voltage Vgs of each cell transistor. Therefore, a sensing margin of each data state is ensured and such problems as current consumption and lower operation speed are prevented, so that a reliability of the multi-level nonvolatile semiconductor memory device is improved.

Patent GB-2337166-A (GB)
Title: Balancing charges in a plurality of batteries
Inventor: MILLER DAVID LOWELL
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1999-04-28
Abstract: An arrangement for balancing charge in a plurality of series connected batteries 10A to 10D has capacitors 18A to 18D, and switches 22A to 22D, 24A to 24D, 26A to 26D and 28A to 28D. In a first method of operation, switches 22A-22D and 24A-24D are closed and switches 26A-26D and 28A-28D are opened, so that capacitors 18A-18D are connected across batteries 10A-10D respectively. Switches 22A-22D and 24A-24D are then opened and switches 26A-26D and 28A-28D closed to connect the capacitors 18A-18D in parallel with one another so that their voltages equalise at about the average of the voltages of the batteries. Switches 26A-28D and 28A-28D are then opened again and switches 22A-22D and 24A-24D closed so that a battery having a lower than average charge will receive charge from its respective capacitor, and a battery with a higher than average charge will charge its respective capacitor. The above switching sequence may be repeated at a predetermined rate, or the sequence may be begun and repeated only when a particularly severe charge imbalance between the batteries is sensed by a control system. The charge balancing method may be performed while the batteries are charging, or while they are discharging, or while they are quiescent. In an alternative method of operation, if battery 10A (for example) has a higher charge than another battery such as 10D, some or all of the capacitors 18A-18D are connected across battery 10A, and then those capacitors are connected across battery 10D.
