Abstract: In the catalytic conversion of at least two reactants in a flow medium, it is necessary to bring the reactants into contact with a catalyst in a suitable mutual stoichiometric ratio, in order to achieve high deposition coefficients with simultaneously low creep (slip) of the reactants. Measurement of the concentration of the reactants such as, for example, NH3 and NOx in the flow medium is technically laborious and expensive, in particular for the examples mentioned. In order to overcome this deficiency, the invention provides a sensor (4, 46) for determining the variation in the concentration of an adsorbable material (NH3), which diffuses out of a flow medium (36) and into the sensor material (34, 54) via a surface (33) of the sensor material (34, 54), as a function of the distance to this surface (33), in which the sensor material (34, 54) is provided with contact pairs (12, 62) provided with electrical supply lines (16, 18, 58), in the sensor material (34) and, if appropriate, on the surface (33) of the sensor material (34, 54), by means of which the electrical conductivity of the sensor material (34, 54) between the contacts (28, 30, 62) of the individual contact pairs can be determined. By measuring the variation in the electrical conductivity as a function of the material depth, it is possible to deduce the concentration of the material adsorbed onto the sensor material and the concentration of this material in the flow medium. The sensor is particularly suitable for supporting the deposition of nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases of diesel and lean-burn engines. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low cost, compact projection display source (20) that serves as a very bright image source for an automotive head up display. The present invention is comprised of a high intensity halogen light source (31) and a liquid crystal display (32). The liquid crystal display (32) is conrolled by display electronics that write images onto the liquid crystal display (32) that are to be displayed to the driver or passengers of a vehicle. Light output from the high intensity light source (31) is transmitted through a piece of infrared energy absorbing glass (33), a decentered lens, such as a Fresnel lens (34), and a diffuser (35) that uniformly backlights the liquid crystal display (32). Crossed polarizers (36, 37) are used on either side of the liquid crystal display (32). The high intensity light output transmitted by the liquid crystal display (32) is passed through a yellow-orange output window (38) which is projected onto a toric combiner (22) for display to the driver of a vehicle. A fan (41) provides cooling for the liquid crystal display and display circuitry that interfaces between the display electronics and the liquid crystal display (32). The projection display source produces a very high contrast (very bright) image source without heat problems.

Abstract: A precured tire tread  (10)  made of an elastomeric material and suitable for mounting on a prepared steel belted radial truck tire casing  (60)  is described. The tread  (10)  is preferably compression molded and has a ground-engaging surface  (18)  with grooves  (12)  and an inner tread of minimal thickness. The precured tread  (10)  has a tread width at a centerline  (CL) , a center portion  (22)  and two shoulder portions  (26 ,  28) . Each of the shoulder portions has a first radius curvature R1 and second radius of curvature R2. The first radius of curvature R1 has a center located along a line  (32)  parallel to the centerline  (CL)  of the precured tread  (10)  and displaced a distance D1 therefrom. The first radius of curvature R1 is between 125% and 225% of the tread width. The distance D1 is between 10% and 25% of the tread width. The second radius of curvature R2 has a center along a line parallel to the centerline of the precured tread and displaced a distance D2 therefrom. The second radius of curvature R2 is between 5% and 25% of the tread width and the distance D2 is between 30% and 50% of the tread width. The ground-engaging surface  (18)  of the tread in the shoulder portions is displaced toward the tire's axis of rotation, thereby reducing scuffing of the tread in applications where tires are mounted on an vehicle axle which is subjected to excessive lateral forces. Excessive lateral abrasive forces could occur in any truck with more than one rear drive or idler axle. The forces are more severe, as the number of drive axles increase.

Abstract: Rounding error can be reduced when evaluating binary floating point polynomials utilizing a Floating Point Unit (58) by first computing the sum of products of second and higher order polynomial terms. Next, the Floating Point Unit (58) adds a zero th  level term to the product of a first order coefficient and an independent variable to form a "Big" term. The Floating Point Unit (58) calculates as a "Little" term the rounding error resulting from the computation of the "Big" term. The "Little" term is then added to the sum of products of higher order terms to form an "Intermediate" term. Finally, the Floating Point Unit (58) adds the "Big" term to the "Intermediate" term to form the polynomial result corrected by the rounding error introduced by the computation of the low order terms.

Abstract: A level detector 2 detects variation of the amplitude of an input signal a to output a level signal b representing HIGH or LOW in order to define the head portion of the input signal a. A time constant control signal 3 generates a time constant control signal c on the basis of the level signal b to control a time constant of an estimator 4 so as to make the time constant small for a prescribed period from a time when the level signal b varies from HIGH to LOW. The estimator 4 estimates DC offset included in the input signal a with the time constant varying according to the time constant control signal c to output an estimate d. A compensator 1 subtracts the estimate d from the input signal a to obtain a compensation output. Therefore, in the estimator 4, the rapidity of estimating the DC offset are different between a period corresponding to the head portion of the input signal a and other periods. Thus, a DC offset compensation device can be configured capable of fast DC offset compensation at the head portion of the input signal a and stable DC offset compensation at the other portions.

Abstract: A cost-effective anti-howling system and method enables fast detection of the presence of true double talk, and substantially eliminates undesirable howling attributable to sudden changes in the acoustic echo path between a speakerphone microphone (110) and loudspeaker (134) during speakerphone conversations. Speakerphone embodiments include a delay-compensated and normalized cross-product calculation (218) performed by a system processor having at least two memory buffers (310, 320). One buffer is associated with the loudspeaker signal and the other buffer is associated with the microphone signal. The delay-compensated cross-product of the microphone voice signal input and the loudspeaker voice signal output is determined and normalized by energy estimates of the two signals to reduce the calculation error made by variance in the signal level.   <IMAGE>
