Patent EP-0700976-A2 (EP)
Title: Aqueous paint compositions
Inventor: TRENDELL MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: C09D7/62
Filed: 1995-08-11
Abstract: An aqueous paint composition comprises a film forming first organic polymer and a structured composite pigment and has a particulate volume concentration greater than 55 per cent. The structured composite pigment is formed from particles of an inorganic pigment and particles of a second organic polymer which is a non-film-forming polymer. The paint compositions of the invention have an improved opacity compared to conventional paints and generally are less prone to stain than known paints having a similar particulate volume concentration.

Abstract: A body stopper of a vehicle comprises stopper members (60) secured to frames (10), and gussets (70) secured to a floor panel (25) at the bottom of a cabin (20). Each gusset is secured with its upper end to the floor panel in confrontation with a seat cross member (26) and with its side surface to a side sill (24) under a door of the body, and configured to form a closed cross section in cooperation with the floor panel. Stopper members (60) are welded to the frames (10) at positions in front of the gussets, and each stopper member is configured to form a closed cross section in cooperation with the frame. A rearward impact to the front face of the vehicle is quickly transmitted from the frames to the body due to reliable engagement between the gussets and the stopper members. The gussets used as elements of the body stopper also behave to increase the rigidity of the body.

Abstract: A secure data storage system for a computer has a data storage system with a data interface to the computer mounted on a heat sink structure within a fireproof enclosure. A heat transfer system connected to the heat sink structure and to a wall of the fireproof enclosure transfers heat from the heat sink structure to outside the fireproof enclosure. A thermostat controller mounted outside the fireproof enclosure, upon detecting a temperature indicating of a fire, causes the heat transfer system to cease transferring heat from inside the fireproof enclosure to outside the fireproof enclosure and blocks passage of heat from outside the fireproof enclosure to inside the fireproof enclosure via the heat transfer system. Both passive and active heat transfer systems are disclosed. In another aspect of the invention, security for entered passwords is provided by diverting password keystrokes from a keyboard to a special controller, bypassing the keyboard controller. In one embodiment the special controller is also a read/write controller simulating an interface to a local hard disk, but in reality transferring data to be stored via a data link to the data storage unit in the fireproof enclosure.

Abstract: A system for estimating air/fuel ratios in the individual cylinders of a multicylinder internal combustion engine from an output of an air/fuel ratio sensor installed at an exhaust system of the engine. In the system, the exhaust system behavior is derived by a model in which X(k) is observed from a state equation and an output equation in which an input U(k) indicates air/fuel ratios in the individual cylinder and an output Y(k) indicates of the estimated air/fuel ratio as                       X(k+1)=AX(k) +BU(k)               Y(k)=CX(k) + DU(k)                          where A, B, C and D are coefficients. And an observer is expressed by an equation using the output Y(k) as an input and the air/fuel ratios in the individual cylinders is estimated from the state variable            X     ^           . In the system, the coefficient C is set to zero for a cylinder other than most recent  m  (2≤m<n) cylinders. Alternatively, a plurality of the observer matrices are prepared in advance and calculated at the same time. Depending on the engine operating condition or a valve timing switched between a plurality of characteristics one among the calculation results is selected.

Abstract: A radio channel initial transmission scheme for a
mobile communication system which is capable of reducing an
unnecessary interference with respect to the other radio
channels as well as an unnecessary consumption of a battery
of a mobile station. In the present invention, this is
realized by not carrying out a transmission of the
unnecessary general information during an initial period of
a radio channel set up. More specifically, only the
constantly necessary information among radio channel
transmission signals is initially transmitted from a
transmitting side of the base station and the mobile
station, at a time of setting up a radio channel between
the base station and the mobile station, and then the
constantly necessary information and the general
information other than the constantly necessary information
are subsequently transmitted from the transmitting side,
after a receiving side of the base station and the mobile
station becomes ready to receive the radio channel
properly.
