Patent EP-1533493-A3 (EP)
Title: Four-stroke engine system
Inventor: KAWAMOTO SHIRO
IPC: F02B63/02
Filed: 2004-10-27
Abstract: A four-stroke engine (10) employs engine vibration for lubricating engine components. The engine vibration induces a ripple in a surface portion of the oil in an oil reservoir (38), which is located within a crankcase (26) of the engine (10). The oil ripple causes misting of the oil, which lubricates exposed engine components. Providing a crankcase (26) wall thickness of about 1.5 mm or less can increase the engine vibration. Alternatively, a clearance area (46) located within the crankcase (26) can be decreased to facilitate contact of the oil surface ripple with a counterweight, thereby splashing the oil onto exposed engine components. Vibration of the engine (10) can be further increased by coupling a vibration plate or spring to a portion of the crankcase (26).

Abstract: A system and related techniques automatically analyze Web search and other activity, to generate locality-selected results based on not just the user's location, but also the business or other content provider's location and the degree of local intent in the user's query. The locality or region to the user may be identified, for instance, by the presence of geographic clues or indicators in the general content of the Web site, for instance, the presence of ZIP codes, telephone numbers, town names or other semantic or other indicators which have some geographic connotation in search terms, key words or other query or semantic inputs. The user's degree of local intent may be automatically analyzed as well, for instance by the presence of terms such as "car repair" or "pizza restaurant" which may suggest the user intends to locate local goods, services or providers. The search service may then access a content database to identify ads or other media or content which match or correspond to the detected locality or region, such as ads for local restaurants, car dealerships, physicians or other services or products, and which correspond in location, working radius and degree of localness to the user's query. Because the delivery of localized search results according to the invention is specifically filtered for user-driven local intent, advertisements and other media or content may be delivered which better match the user's search objectives.

Abstract: A CMP system and methods reduce a cause of differences between an edge profile of a chemical mechanical polished edge of a wafer and a center profile of a chemical mechanical polished central portion of the wafer within the edge. The wafer is mounted on a carrier surface (210) of a wafer carrier (210) so that a wafer axis (224) of rotation is gimballed for universal movement relative to a spindle axis (218) of rotation of a wafer spindle (220). A retainer ring (226) limits wafer movement on the carrier surface (210) perpendicular to the wafer axis (224). The retainer ring (226) is mounted on and movable relative to the wafer carrier (212). A linear bearing (230) is configured with a housing (320) and a shaft (326) so that a direction of permitted movement between the wafer carrier (212) and the retainer ring (226) is only movement parallel to the wafer axis (224), so that a wafer plane and a retainer ring (226) may be co-planar.
