Patent CA-2361903-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMASWAMY DEEPA
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: This invention is a method and system for determining whether the engine should be running in a Hybrid Electric  Vehicle during vehicle idle conditions. Specifically, a controller determines if the vehicle is in idle and if engine operation is necessary. To determine whether engine operation is necessary, the controller determines whether the battery needs charging, whether vacuum needs to be replaced in the climate control system or brake system reservoir, whether the vapor canister requires purging, whether the adaptive fuel tables require fast adapting, whether the engine or catalyst temperatures are unacceptable, or whether the air conditioning has been requested. Once the controller determines that the engine must be running, the controller determines in which control mode to run the engine, either speed control mode (using powertrain controllers) or torque control mode (using a generator and generator controller). Finally, the controller optimizes engine running conditions, to the extent possible depending upon the control mode, to perform any necessary functions during vehicle idle.

Title: Control of a plurality of electron beams of a color cathode ray tube
Inventor: GORSKI RICHARD M
IPC: H01J29/58
Filed: 1990-08-10
Abstract: An electron gun for use in focusing a plurality of electron beams on a screen of a color cathode ray tube in which the electron beams are aligned in an in-line array and are deflected across the screen by an asymmetric magnetic field which causes astigmatism of the electron beams. The electron gun comprises first and third electrodes, each adapted to receive a common dynamic voltage, and each having for each beam a horizontally-extending opening through which the electron beam passes.      A second electrode, between the first and third electrodes, is adapted to receive a fixed voltage and has an aperture for each beam. When excited, the first, second and third electrodes cooperate to establish dynamic quadrupole fields effective to compensate the electron beams for such beam astigmatism.

Title: Method for obtaining a picture of the internal structure of an object using x-ray radiation and device for the implementation thereof
Inventor: KUMAKHOV MURADIN ABUBEKIROVICH
IPC: G01N23/223
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: The invention relates to means used to obtain a picture, presented in a visually perceptible form, of the internal structure of a subject in particular a biological one. According to the inventive method, X-ray radiation emitted by a source is concentrated (for example, with the aid of an X-ray lens (2)) in an area containing a point (4), placed inside an investigated field (7) of a subject (5) and to which current measurement results are related. Secondary radiation (compton, fluorescent) which emerge s within said area is transported (for example, with the aid of an X-ray lens (3)) to one or several detectors (6). A scan-out of the investigated field ( 7) of the subject (5) is performed by displacing said area, and the density of the subject at that point is determined by totaling the secondary radiation intensity values received from one or several detectors (6) and determined simultaneously with the coordinates of the point (4). The density values, together with corresponding coordinate values obtained with the aid of transducers (11), are used in the unit (12) for data processing and data display in order to create a picture of the density distribution of the substance within the investigated field of the subject.

Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: A spectrometer (10) includes a two-dimensional array of modulatable microm-irrors (18), a detector (20), and an analyzer (22). The micro-mirrors are positioned for receiving individual radiation components forming a part of a radiation source. The micro-minors are modulated at different modulation rates in order to reflect individual radiation components at known and different modulation rates. The micro-mirrors combine a number of the reflected individual radiation components and reflect them to the detector. The detector receives the combined radiation components and creates an output signal. The analyzer is coupled to the detector to receive the output signal and to analyze at least some of the individual radiation components making up the combined reflection. By using a micro-mirror array that modulates the radiation components at different rates, all of the radiations components can be focused onto a single detector to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the detector.
