Patent EP-0653556-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NUSSBAUM STEPHEN H
IPC: F02D19/02
Filed: 1994-10-27
Abstract: Apparatus, and a corresponding method for its operation, for controlling the air/fuel ratio in a large engine having one or more banks of cylinders with separate intake and exhaust manifolds. Oxygen sensors in the manifolds are sampled periodically to provide the apparatus with an indication of the level of oxygen, and therefore an indication of the level of various pollutants, in exhaust gases discharged from the engine. The apparatus, preferably in microprocessor form, computes a fuel control correction based on the difference between the sensed oxygen level and a desired oxygen level in each exhaust manifold. The correction is applied in the form of a change to the pulse width of a binary control signal applied to a solenoid valve. In the illustrative embodiment, the solenoid valve is coupled to a fuel pressure regulator and functions to vent an air chamber in the regulator when the solenoid is actuated. Changing the pulse width of the control signal varies the average fuel pressure and thereby controls the air/fuel ratio, which in turn corrects the oxygen level in the exhaust manifold. The controller also monitors various temperatures in the engine and selectively disables control of the air/fuel ratio when selected temperatures fall outside assigned limits.

Abstract: An input acoustic signal is subjected to modified discrete cosine transform processing to obtain its spectrum characteristics. On the other hand, linear prediction coefficients are derived from the input acoustic signal in a linear prediction coding analysis part (17), and the prediction coefficients are subjected to Fourier transform in a spectrum envelope calculation part (21) to obtain the envelope of the spectrum characteristics of the input acoustic signal. In a normalization part (22) the spectrum characteristics are normalized by the envelope thereof to obtain residual coefficients. A normalization part (26) normalizes the residual coefficients by a residual-coefficients envelope predicted in a residual-coefficients envelope calculation part (23), thereby obtaining fine structure coefficients, which are vector-quantized in a quantization part (25). A de-normalization part (31) de-normalizes the quantized fine structure coefficients. The residual-coefficients envelope calculation part (23) uses the reproduced residual coefficients to predict the envelope of residual coefficients of the subsequent frame.

Abstract: The strap is moved by an in-feed through channels in a frame inside which the material to be strapped is placed. The top traverse of the frame, in which the bundle is placed, is lowered onto the material to be strapped to compress it. The system which connects the ends of the strap is mounted on top of the traverse. Because the path, over which the strap is moved, is long, an additional set of drive rollers is provided. The rollers move the strap by friction. The axes (40,41) of the rollers (38,39) lie either side of the strip in a plane at right angles to the plane of the strap. One of the rollers is spring-loaded against the side of the strap and can be swung clear from the strap.

Title: Distributed systems with replicated files
Inventor: RAO CHUNG-HWA HERMAN
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1995-07-19
Abstract: Techniques for providing replicated files in a distributed system. A replicated file has a set of copies in components of the distributed system. Operations on the copies have the same semantics for the application processes accessing them as operations on a single copy of a file in a system where all processes execute on the same host. These semantics are achieved by means of a distributed synchronization system. Each replicated file has a read token and a write token. In order for an application process to perform an operation on a replicated file, the token required for the operation must be in the process's host and the process must have access to the token. Tokens are passed between hosts by token servers which respond to requests for tokens from application processes and from other token servers. The techniques are implemented using a library which replaces a standard I/O library, and may thus be employed without modification to hardware or the operating system.

Abstract: Variation of an address signal is detected by an address transition detecting circuit. The trailing edge of a detection pulse ATD is delayed by a delay control circuit to generate a control signal φ with an expanded pulse width. Selection of word lines of a memory array is controlled depending upon a row address signal by a row decoder. The selected word line is activated only while the pulse period of the control signal φ. Before making the output of the row decoder into non-active state, the output of a sense amplifier is latched by a latch circuit by the control signal φ to output to an output circuit. Thus, double selection of the memory cell in transition of the drive signal of the word lines to be selected will never caused to avoid necessity of measure for double selection, and whereby shorten memory access period.
