Patent EP-0799984-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CARDINAEL MARC
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 1997-03-12
Abstract: A catalytic converter monitor uses two oxygen
sensors (20,22) disposed respectively upstream and
downstream of the catalytic converter (16). During a
testing period, the air-to-fuel ratio is biased rich and
lean transitions are then produced to generate excess
oxygen ions in the exhaust gas. The lean transitions
produce signal peaks in the sensor signals. The time
during which the downstream sensor signal exceeds a
predetermined threshold is compared to the equivalent time
for the upstream sensor (20). The time differences are
related to the oxygen storage capacity of the converter
(16). Such measurement makes use of sensor signal levels
and is substantially unrelated to sensor response times,
which can vary to give inaccurate results. Close-loop
control is maintained during testing.

Abstract: In order to improve the exhaust performance of the turbomolecular pump
comprising an exhaust stage, intermediate stage, and compression stage formed in
sequence by rotor blades and the stator blades to effect exhaust and compression of gas,
and rotor blades 141 to 144 are installed to a rotor shaft 12 supported by a bearing 20,
and fixed stator blades 181 to 184 are arranged between the rotor blades, each vane of
the rotor blade 144 forming the compression stage is arranged radially in a tilted
manner with respect to the rotor shaft 12, and curved in the width direction so as to be
convex to the rear side with respect to the vane rotation direction. Therefore, gas flows
along the plate surface at the periphery of each vane 144b, so that the gas can be

Abstract: An abutment tooth model which can improve a mold releasable property of
the prosthetic restoration (releasability from an abutment tooth model or a mold)
and a method of manufacturing such a prosthetic restoration are provided. The
abutment tooth model is formed of a base material such as an ultra-hard plaster
(CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O), and at least one oxide selected from the group comprising Zr, Y and
Ca. The abutment tooth model is formed so as to be slightly larger than the
abutment tooth to the extent of the degree of shrinkage of the prosthetic restoration
(green body) by taking the curing expansion upon molding and the thermal
expansion upon sintering into account The abutment tooth is formed using a
compound in which Ti powder or Ti alloy powder is contained as its main component,
and the compound is built up onto the abutment tooth model 5 so as to have a
desired shape, and thus obtained green body is subjected to a debinding treatment.
Then, the green body is sintered together with the green body to obtain a prosthetic
restoration composed of the metal sintered body.

Abstract: A preceding vehicle, an inter-vehicle distance (L) between
a self vehicle and the preceding vehicle, vehicle speeds of the
self vehicle and the preceding vehicle, an operation of a cruise
control, a braking operation, a brake pressure and the like are
detected and inputted to a cruise control unit (40). Based on these
input signals, the cruise control system selects a constant
speed running mode when the inter-vehicle distance (L) is larger than
a specified value (L s ) and selects a following-behind running mode
when the inter-vehicle distance (L) is smaller than the specified
value (L s ). When the constant speed mode is selected, the vehicle
travels at a constant preset vehicle speed by operating a throttle
actuator (25) and a brake actuator (26). Further, when the following-behind
running mode is selected, the vehicle travels keeping the
inter-vehicle distance (L) at a specified distance (L s ) by the operation
of the throttle actuator and the brake actuator. If the
following-behind running mode lasts longer than a specified time,
the preset vehicle speed is updated into a vehicle speed higher
than an average vehicle speed within the specified time. Further,
when a braking operation is detected during the following-behind
running mode, if the brake pressure is lower than a specified
value and the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined lower
limit vehicle speed, the cruise control is restored when the
braking operation finishes.

Abstract: The time over which a digital signature can be verified is extended well beyond the expiration
of any or all of the certificates upon which that signature depends. In a "save state" approach,
an archive facility is used to store public key infrastructure (PKI) state, e.g. cryptographic
information, such as certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs), in addition to non-cryptographic
information, such as trust policy statements or the document itself. This
information comprises all that is necessary to re-create the signature verification process at a
later time. When a user wants to verify the signature on a document, possibly years later, a
long term signature verification (LTSV) server re-creates the precise state of the PKI at the
time the document was originally submitted. The LTSV server restores the state, and the
signature verification process executes the exact process it performed (or would have
performed) years earlier. Another embodiment of the invention combines the strength of
cryptography with the proven resilience of (non-public key) technology and procedures
currently associated with secure data stores by saving the PKI state for future verification; and
protecting the PKI state information from intrusion by maintaining it in a secure storage
facility which is protected by services, such as firewalls, access control mechanisms, audit
facilities, intrusion detection facilities, physical isolation, and network isolation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for improving leak tolerance in an earpiece (100) of a radio device. The invention can be applied preferably in mobile stations. One idea of the invention is that an acoustic volume (111) is arranged behind the earpiece by taking advantage of the RF shield casing (112, 116) of a radio frequency unit of the device. By means of the invention one can form behind the earpiece an acoustic volume which loads optimally the earpiece without therefore needing to enlarge the size of the device. In an embodiment of the invention one wall of the casing arranged behind the earpiece has been formed by means of an electronic circuit board (112), to which circuit board radio frequency components (117) of an electronic unit have been connected. Then between the casing and the external volume one can preferably form an acoustic path by means of through holes (113, 114) arranged in the circuit board.

Abstract: In a game system, an atmosphere, such as a temperature and a
humidity, is set to a field where player characters compete with each
other. The atmosphere is displayed on a display screen. While a game
advances, an ability value of each player character is changed
depending on the atmosphere, and a change in ability value is
displayed on the display screen. Since the ability of each player
character is determined according to the ability value, the ability of
each player character is changed as the game advances so that the
development of the game is also changed. Accordingly, based on the
displayed atmosphere, a game player can elaborate a strategy so that
attractiveness of the game is enhanced.
