Abstract: An exhaust gas reflux apparatus for an internal combustion engine (E) includes one-way connection means (26) provided between an intake rocker arm (14i) and an exhaust rocker arm (14e). The one-way connection means moves between a non-operating position (A) where the intake and exhaust rocker arms are released and an operating position (B) where the intake and exhaust rocker arms are connected to open the exhaust valve (8e) only when the intake rocker arm rocks in a valve opening direction of the intake valve (8i). An actuator (30) for switching the one-way connection means between the non-operating position and the operating position is connected to the one-way connection means. Thus, an exhaust gas is sucked into a combustion chamber (5) from an exhaust port (6e) using a general exhaust valve in an intake stroke, when exhaust gas reflux is required.

Abstract: A vehicle height adjustment system operable to prevent a vehicle from running with
an inappropriate vehicle height is provided. A
vehicle height restoring speed controller (50) determines whether the vehicle is starting or not.
When the vehicle is starting, the vehicle height restoring speed controller (50) switches a restoring
speed of the vehicle height to a restoring speed for a vehicle's stopped state and not for a
vehicle's running state, and provides control so that the vehicle height is swiftly adjusted to a
reference vehicle height. This prevents the sustained inappropriate vehicle height, and
thereby prevents the resulting hindrance to vehicle running.

Abstract: A numerical controller capable of reducing machining time in
synchronization control machining. A workpiece (1) already rough-machined
into a shape of a gear, and a tool (2), are rotated in synchronism.
Proximity limit distance Lt ensuring that the workpiece (1) and the tool (2)
do not interfere with each other, approach amount Ap required to bring the
workpiece (1) and the tool (2) into a positional relationship for performing
normal gear machining (condition in which the workpiece engages with the
tool), and phase shift amount Fs corresponding to the depth of cut are given
as commands. In parallel with approach motion, phase adjustment motion
for making the workpiece (1) face a tooth space of the tool (2) is
performed. When the approach motion progresses by the proximity limit
distance Lt, if the phase adjustment is completed, the approach motion is
continued without interruption. If not, the approach motion is interrupted,
and resumed after the phase adjustment is completed. After the approach
motion is completed, phase shift is performed to give a cut, and machining
is performed. When cutting loads become a certain value or smaller, it is
determined that the machining is completed. Since the approach motion
and the phase adjustment are performed concurrently and completion of
machining is automatically determined, the machining time can be reduced.

Abstract: In an air cycle machine (ACM), a turbine (T) is driven by an engine bleed air (BA), and the turbine power is mechanically transmitted to a compressor (C) to compress the engine bleed air or open air. An electric motor (M) may be provided to electrically drive the compressor, if necessary, to thereby serve as an auxiliary power for the turbine power. The air cycle machine is included in an air conditioning system for an aircraft, wherein open air or engine fan air is raised in its pressure by taking advantage of the compressor (C) driven by the turbine power to use as a ventilation air. An air intake means (RA) is connected to the compressor (C) for supplying at least one of open air and engine fan air to the compressor (C). Therefore, a consumption of the engine bleed air having a high energy level can be efficiently reduced.

Abstract: An efficient method for renaming consecutive keys in a B-tree representing a hierarchical namespace, such as a file system, has an estimated time efficiency of  O (log N ), where N is the number of nodes in the B-tree. All the consecutive keys to be renamed are first excised from the original B-tree to form a trimmed B-tree, and the excised nodes are stored in a separate temporary extracted B-tree. The nodes in extracted B-tree are then renamed, and the renamed extracted B-tree is inserted into the trimmed B-tree to form a final B-tree that contains the renamed keys.
