Abstract: A fuel rail assembly (50) includes an integral pressure damper
(64) and an over-pressure stop (80) to prevent the damper from flexing
beyond it elastic limit. The rail assembly (50) also includes injector cups
(58) formed outwardly relative to the rail (54) to provide substantially
unimpeded fuel flow to the injector (38). The fuel rail assembly (50)
further includes a damper cover (74) to protect the damper from outside
damage. The damper cover can be hermetically sealed to form an air
chamber (88) above the damper and opposite the fuel chamber (86) in
the fuel rail thereby providing a means for keeping the pressure
differential between the chambers (86,88) in an APDI fuel injection
system substantially constant.

Abstract: A microwave oven includes a control unit (11) which
sets sampling intervals to accumulate humidity values
measured by a humidity sensor (6), and controls a cooking
end time of food according to an accumulated humidity
value obtained by accumulating the humidity values
measured during the set sampling intervals. Accordingly,
the microwave oven prevents overcooking of the food, for
example, that does not require a further cooking after
initial generation of steam thereof. The microwave oven
may set sampling intervals through several measurements to
improve the reliability thereof. Moreover, the microwave
oven may learn an operation of setting sampling intervals
according to cooking conditions so as to finish a cooking
according to the set sampling intervals where a later set
cooking condition corresponds to the learned cooking
condition.

Abstract: A semiconductor-manufacturing tool has two load
locks, one for semiconductor wafers entering the tool for
processing and the other for wafers leaving the tool after
being processed. The load locks are of a new generation
capable of being evacuated or vented in shorter times than
load locks of the prior art, and permit high throughput.
The tool is associated with three atmospheric wafer-handling
robots to obtain the high throughput permitted by
the load locks. One robot transfers wafers to be
processed from a supply to a wafer pre-aligner, another
robot transfers wafers from the wafer pre-aligner to the
load lock for wafers entering the tool, and the third
transfers processed wafers from the load lock for wafers
leaving the tool back to the supply.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des systèmes de protection destinés à des systèmes électriques, les systèmes électriques pouvant inclure des réseaux locaux et/ou des réseaux en grille.  Les différents systèmes de protection peuvent être conçus et utilisés pour détecter et pallier les défaillances qui peuvent survenir au sein des systèmes électriques.  Par exemple, une paire d'enroulements de Rogowski peut être utilisée pour détecter le courant le long de conducteurs en leurs emplacements respectifs sur lesdits conducteurs, et pour transmettre des signaux correspondants à un relais différentiel multifonctions comportant plusieurs entrées de tension et de courant.  En comparant les signaux en provenance des enroulements de Rogowski, le relais différentiel peut déterminer s'il existe une défaillance en un point quelconque le long des conducteurs et entre la paire d'enroulements de Rogowski.  En outre, le relais peut alors, en réponse à la défaillance, déclencher un disjoncteur ou un autre dispositif de protection de réseau afin de remédier à la défaillance.

Abstract: When a plurality of toner containers mounted on
a developing rotary is simultaneously determined as
toner-absent toner containers, toner container
replacement may not be efficient because toner
containers are replaced at one replacement position.
Therefore, when the toner containers mounted on the
developing rotary are simultaneously determined as
empty (S16), a toner container is selected (S17) and moved
to a replacement position (S18) so as to be preferentially
replaced by considering the minimum times required for
the steps of replacing a nearest toner container and
inhibiting another image forming job.

from a microphone (191) and then determines the output
volume of a speaker (192) from the volume of surrounding
sound. The speaker volume control section (141)
then displays the value of the output volume of the

that, the speaker volume control section (141) monitors
whether or not an operation of changing the speaker
volume is performed and, when such an operation is not
performed for a predetermined period of time, presents
the determined speaker volume to a sound controller
(19). When an operation of changing the speaker volume
is performed, the speaker volume control section (141)

Abstract: To implement an efficient and convenient way of ensuring
that the I2C bus will not be stuck low during data
communication between a TV microprocessor (master) and a
DVD module microprocessor (slave) in a TV-DVD combo
device it is proposed to implement a Watchdog timer (13)
for the data communication via the I 2 C bus. 
     It has been detected that if the STOP condition is
missing during the data transfer between master (10) and
slave (11), the I 2 C bus will be blocked in low state for
ever, i.e. the TV microprocessor (10) will no longer be
able to communicate with the DVD module. This problem may
occur due to some interference problems within the TV-DVD
combo device. 
     With the implementation of the Watchdog timer (13),
preferably in software a simple error recovery scheme for
the I 2 C bus communication can be realized.
