Abstract: A variable valve train device 110 for use on an internal combustion
engine 12 having a rotary camshaft 19 with adjacent valve-opening and
valve-closing lobes 18, 21. The device is mounted on the engine head and
is pivotable about the camshaft to alter the timing and lift of a fuel intake
valve. A command link 122 controls the rotational position of the apparatus
with respect to the camshaft and is rotationally supported by a cylindrical
shell bearing 126 mounted on the engine head coaxial with the camshaft.
The shell bearing is supported by an hydraulic lash adjuster 128 or an
adjustable ball joint 130, 131 to minimize mechanical lash in the device.
The command link includes a ring gear 123 which meshes with a control
shaft gear 28 for advancing or retarding the valve timing. The command
link pivotably supports a rocker assembly 132 for following the rotary motion
of the valve-opening and valve-closing cam lobes 18, 21. The rocker
assembly is linked to an output cam 140 disposed between the camshaft 19
and a roller finger follower 116 for actuating the valve 14.

Abstract: A surround sound display has a graphic sound stage image,
including speakers representing sources and a central listener, and bent
correlation meter scales for each stereo channel. The correlation meter
scales have values from +1 at one end to -1 at the other end and are bent to

Abstract: There is provided a network system and its associated devices and techniques which allow a terminal device to utilize functions of another terminal device without the need to provide any dedicated interface or system switch. A server 12 receives a service request from a first terminal device 13 or a second terminal device 16 while the first and second terminal devices 13 and 16 are in voice communication with each other. Upon receipt of the service request, the server 12 searches position information on the second terminal device 16 from an identifier contained in the service request to specify a processor 18 located in the neighborhood of the second terminal device 16 on the basis of the position information. Then the server 12 establishes a new connection (communication lines 2B and 2C) for image communication. Thus the image data is transferred fron the first terminal device 13 to a reception device 17 through the communication lines 2B and 2C, and displayed on a large screen of the processor 18.

Abstract: In order to remove adverse effects in case error detection using error detection
codes cannot be performed correctly, and to improve the data transmission efficiency,
a turbo decoder (6) compares data which is decoded this time with data which was
decoded at a previous time, both of which are decoded in repetitive decoding
processing, to obtain discord number information indicative of the number of
discordant sign bits, and sends the information to a terminal I/F unit (7) and a packet
flow retransmission controlling unit (10). Even though it is determined that error
detection result from a CRC recalculating unit (9) shows that no bit error exists,
in case the number of discordant sign bits is larger than a predetermined threshold
value, it is determined that there is generated error. A packet flow
retransmission controlling unit (10) sends a signal requesting retransmission of data.
Furthermore, the data amount to be retransmitted is varied in accordance with the
number of discordant sign bits to improve the data transmission efficiency.

generating unit multiplies the image data stored in the
line storing unit by an interpolative coefficient
corresponding to the developing format of the image data
to be converted in the plural interpolative coefficients
which are beforehand set for the plural kinds of
developing formats, thereby generating the television
signal.

Abstract: A pulse current component of a driving current is determined,
based on a current-optical output coefficient derived using average
optical output information of a semiconductor light-emitting
element. A bias current component can be set by adjusting an average
optical output of the semiconductor light-emitting element while
changing the bias current component by the driving current including
the determined pulse current component. Since the current-optical
output coefficient can be derived based on the average optical output
under wide conditions, both the pulse current component and the bias
current component can be determined under the wide conditions and
without using a quick-response light detector.
