shaft (42), and a clutch pack (158) operably interconnected between the inner and
outer drums. The transfer clutch (50) also includes an apply plate (160) that is
coupled for rotation with the primary output shaft (32) and which is moveable for
exerting a compressive clutch engagement force on the clutch pack (158), a primary
spring (176) which acts between the inner and outer drums for biasing the inner drum
toward a "disconnect" position whereat its clutch teeth (136) are disengaged from the
clutch teeth (138) on the primary output shaft, and a secondary spring (178) which
acts between the inner drum (130) and the apply plate (160) for biasing the apply
plate (160) toward a "released" position whereat it is disengaged from the clutch pack
(158). The transfer case (16) further includes a power-operated actuator assembly
(52) for causing movement of the apply plate, sensors (54) for detecting vehicle
conditions and generating sensor signals, a mode selector (56) for permitting a

Abstract: A multi-layer paving element (12) has an upper wear layer
constituted by a slab (14) and a lower support layer of
cementitious material (16). The production method involves the
steps of: arranging the slab (14), the plan dimensions of which

the mould (20), in the bottom of a mould (20) which also has
means for centering the slab (14); pouring fresh cementitious
material (16) into the mould (20) and subjecting it to vibro-compression
so that it is evenly distributed within the mould

Inventor: MOTOZAWA YASUKI
IPC: B60N2/42
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: The occupant protective apparatus includes one or more
seats 1 respectively supported on a car body so as to be movable
along the direction of a force acting on the car body in the case
of a car collision and each including a seat belt 3 for
restricting an occupant 2 seated on the seat 1, a fluid container
14, the capacity of which can be reduced as the car body is
deformed in the car collision, and a force generating unit 5 for
applying a force to the seat 1 in the back-and-forth direction
of the car body in response to generation of the pressure of fluid
filled in the fluid container, such pressure generation
occurring when the capacity of the fluid container is reduced.
According to the present occupant protective apparatus, for
example, in case where a forward running car collides head on
with a structure on the road, the fluid container disposed in
the front end portion of the car body is compressed and the fluid
filled in the fluid container is thereby charged into the force
generating unit such as a liquid pressure cylinder. Due to this,
backward going acceleration is applied to the seat at the same
time with the occurrence of the car head-on collision to thereby
generate in the seat higher deceleration than the deceleration
of the car body, which makes it possible to enhance the
restricting force of the seat belt for restricting the forward
movement of the occupant.

Abstract: A device, system and method permitting on-line
explosives-based cleaning and deslagging of a fuel burning
facility (31) such as a boiler, furnace, incinerator, or

Abstract: A method useful in a radiation-sensitive-material exposure system (100) having
a radiation source (106), a phase-shifting mask (103) and a focal plane. Radiation is transmitted from
the source through the phase-shifting mask onto a radiation-sensitive-material (101). The
spatial relationship between the focal plane and the radiation-sensitive-material is
adjusted and radiation is transmitted from the source through the phase-shifting mask
onto a radiation-sensitive-material after again. The technique may be repeated at any
number of focal plane positions to improve simultaneously the imaging process
resolution and depth of focus.

Abstract: The invention provides for control of access to data which is stored in an
electronic data storage device (18) and enables various types of permissions to
be set for determining access to the stored data such that, if an attempt is made
to access particular data which does not have a suitable permission type, access
is denied. It is implemented as an access control device (16), such as a chip,
which controls all access to the data storage device (18). This implementation is
adopted since such electronic devices are more difficult to "hack" for access by
an unauthorized user. The invention has a number of different utilizations, such
as for controlling access to credit card information; for identifying a user
according to a PIN or other identification information; for controlling access to a
particular location according to the identity of the user; and for controlling access
to various types of data files, such as music files in theMP3 format and so forth.

Abstract: A patch antenna's resonators (116, 118) are supported by a non-conductive frame (124). The
frame supports the resonators without making holes in the resonators and thereby avoids
the problem of creating unwanted electric field polarizations. Additionally, the frame
grasps the resonators in areas of low current density and thereby avoids creating
additional disturbances in the radiation pattern. In one embodiment of the invention, the
frame includes a perimeter lip (164) that snaps over the edges of the feedboard (130) and thereby
attaches the frame to the feedboard.

Abstract: In an image processing technique for generating a
multi-valued image with fine contours from an input
image that is generated by reading in, as a multi-valued
image, the dotted print contents of printed
matter a contour extracted image is generated by
performing the contour extraction process for the input
image, and contours from the contour extracted image
that satisfy a predetermined condition are deleted to
generate a partial contour image. Then, contours are
added to the partial image according to the density
distribution of the contour in the partial contour
image, and a contour added image is generated. By
referring to the contour added image, the input image
and a smoothed image obtained by performing a smoothing
process for the input image are superimposed to
generate a synthesized image. Since contours that
satisfy a predetermined condition are deleted from the
contour extracted image, the moire patterns included in
the contour extracted image are removed. In addition,
since contours are added according to the density
distribution of the contour, necessary contours can be
recovered.

Abstract: An automated system and method for diagnosing and monitoring the
outcomes of atrial fibrillation is described. A plurality of monitoring sets is
retrieved from a database. Each of the monitoring sets include recorded measures
relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis. A
patient status change is determined in response to an atrial fibrillation diagnosis
by comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at
least one other recorded measure. Both recorded measures relate to the same type
of patient information. Each patient status change is tested against an indicator
threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded
measures which were compared. The indicator threshold corresponds to a
quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiology resulting from atrial
fibrillation.

reverse link and desired geographic coverage of the reverse link. The method for
controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications system includes
measuring a first performance indicator and a second performance indicator for a reverse

additional metrics that characterize the performance of the current subscriber stations.
The decision to grant or deny access of the subscriber station to the wireless
