Abstract: An anti-lock braking system includes a friction torque
gradient estimating unit for estimating, from a small number
of parameters, the gradient of friction torque with respect
to a slip speed, and controls a braking force acting on
wheels on the basis of the friction torque gradient estimated
by the friction torque gradient estimating unit. The
friction torque gradient estimating unit may employ several
types of estimating methods; e.g., a method of estimating the
gradient of friction torque from only time-series data
concerning a wheel speed; a method of estimating the friction
torque gradient from time-series data concerning wheel
deceleration as well as from braking torque or time-series
data concerning physical quantities associated with the
braking torque; or a method of estimating the friction torque
gradient from micro-gains which are obtained when brake
pressure is excited in a very small amount at the resonance
frequency of a vibration system comprising a vehicle, wheels,
and a road surface and which represent the characteristics of
the vibration system. Further, there is also disclosed a
method of determining, from the thus-estimated friction
torque gradient, the limit of the characteristics of friction
torque developed between the wheels and the road surface.

Abstract: A needle shield assembly (20) having a single-use cannula lock of the present invention includes a needle cannula (21) having a proximal end (22), a distal end (23) and a lumen therethrough. A hub (28) includes a proximal end (29) for connection to a fluid transfer device and a distal end (31) connected to the proximal end (22) of the needle cannula (21). A collar (41) is rotationally connected to the hub (28) so that the collar can be rotated around the hub. An elongate needle cover (37) removably engages the hub (28) and covers the needle cannula (21). An elongate needle shield (45) having a proximal end (47) and a distal end (46) is hingedly connected, through its proximal end, to the collar (41). The needle shield (45) includes two sidewalls (50,51) defining a longitudinal opening (52) and a back wall (53) between said side walls defining a recess (55) having an interior surface. The needle shield is capable of pivoting from an open position wherein the needle cannula is exposed, to a closed needle protecting position wherein at least part of the needle cannula is within the longitudinal opening of the needle shield. The needle shield assembly further includes structure for preventing the needle shield from pivoting into the closed position unless the needle cover is removed, and structure for locking the needle shield in the closed needle protecting position when the needle shield is pivoted into the closed position. The structure for locking traps the needle cannula in the longitudinal opening (52) of the needle shield (45).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multi-layer pipe liner bag (10),
wherein a guiding tube (3) is inserted into an outer layer (1) composed of a
tubular resin absorbent material (1A) and a plastic film (1B) coated over the
outer periphery of the tubular resin absorbent material; an inner layer (2)
composed of another tubular resin absorbent material (2A) is inserted into
the guiding tube, and the guiding tube is extracted with the outer layer and
the inner layer being fixed; and the tubular resin absorbent resin absorbent
materials of the outer layer and the inner layer are impregnated with
thermosetting resin to complete the pipe liner bag. Since the outer layer
and the inner layer are manufactured separately, the manufacturing of the
respective layers can be performed with a good workability.
Advantageously, the plastic film covering the outer surface of the outer
layer can be prevented from scratches.

Abstract: A current feedback amplifier (12) is provided for
controlling a stator winding phase current in a polyphase stator
winding, such as a three-phase stator winding (10), of a polyphase
direct current motor. The current amplifier (12) includes a first
stage current feedback amplifier C (27) and a second stage current
feedback amplifier (100) coupled through a switch (101). The
first stage current feedback amplifier C (27) detects a stator
winding phase current I AB  flowing through a C-coil (15) of the
three-phase stator winding (10) and generates an equalized sense
current I senseT  in response that is related to I AB . The equalized
sense current I senseT  is generated using a phase trim FET (31) and
an adjustable phase trim FET (32). The second stage current
feedback amplifier (100) receives I senseT  from the first stage
current feedback amplifier C (27) and generates a control signal.
This may be done by comparing I senseT  to an amplitude adjusted
reference current I refT . The amplitude adjusted reference current
I refT  is generated using an amplitude trim FET (81) and an
adjustable amplitude trim FET (82). The second stage current
feedback amplifier (100) provides the control signal to a driver
circuit for controlling the stator winding phase current. The
second stage current feedback amplifier (100) may sequentially or
commutatively couple to other first stage current sense
amplifiers, such as a first stage current feedback
amplifier B (30) or a first stage current feedback
amplifier A (28), to control other stator winding phase currents
to generate equalized, amplitude adjusted stator winding phase
currents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the area of workflow
management systems (WFMS). More particularly the invention
is related to a methodology of automatically deriving and
steadily improving a process model executed by the WFMS. 
     Current methodologies of defining process models are a
priori in nature, i.e. it is assumed that the correct
process model of a business process to be supported must be
specified before workflow technology can be used to execute
and control the underlying activities making up the
business process. 
     The current invention dramatically simplifies and automates
the process of modeling a business model of a business
process. The invention allows to start just with the set of
unrelated activities and discover the real world relations
between them at a later point in time; data mining and OLAP
technologies are exploited for this discovery. The current
invention thus proposes a posteriori methodology. For that
purpose the precise underlying process model is derived at
a later point in time based on audit data collected by the
WFMS during the early deployment of a process model.

Abstract: A combustion control system for a diesel engine provided
with a fuel injection system and a sensor for detecting an ignition
timing. The combustion control system comprises a control unit
which is configured to control the ignition timing to be restored to a
target value when the ignition timing shifts from the target value
owing to circumferential factors such as cetane number of fuel.
Preferably, the ignition timing is controlled to generally coincide
with or be retarded relative to a fuel injection termination timing.
This regulates an ignition delay period to be longer than a fuel
injection period in a predetermined engine operating region, thereby
effectively accomplishing so-called low temperature premix
combustion.
