Patent EP-0464748-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KATO HIDETOSHI
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1991-07-01
Abstract: A battery condition detecting apparatus includes a current detecting apparatus (9a), a voltage detector (9c) and a current accumulator (9d) of a battery (1). The battery condition detecting apparatus detects a first battery capacity when an engine (2) is started based on the battery voltage and battery current when the starter (3) is started; determines an initial capacity of the battery based on the first battery capacity; adds to this initial capacity, a battery current accumulated value which has been accumulated by the battery current accumulator after determining the first battery capacity, whereby a second battery capacity is detected after the engine has been started; and further comparing the presently detected first battery capacity with the second battery capacity just before this first battery capacity is detected, thereby setting the smaller capacity as the initial value. Then, a charge control apparatus for a vehicle sets a battery charging target value, depending on the initial capacity which has been set by the initial capacity setting apparatus of this battery condition detecting apparatus, and controls the alternator in such a manner that the battery is charged at this target value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission and/or reception system of data for personal computers, by means of circular diffusion of radioelectric signals, carried out in teletext settings, in which the data is gathered in files and groups and transmitted according to a telesoftware transmission procedure, comprising a configuration page; the characterising principle of the invention consists in the fact that the files are divided into groups and that said configuration page contains information that allows the receiving terminal to construct a general index or master directory after having automatically acquired said configuration page and in the fact that the headings of the files of each group are concentrated in the first page of the group itself so as that when the user selects a group, the terminal automatically aquires such page and displays on the screen the group directory.

Abstract: A gas laser oscillator having two discharge tube columns, both ends of which are connected by a bending unit (18), wherein each column comprises two discharge tubes (1) connected in series. At the opposite ends of the bending unit, one column has a total-reflection mirror (6), and the other column has a partial-reflection mirror (7). These discharge tubes, the bending unit, the total-reflection mirror, and the partial-reflection mirror are mounted to a single optical bench (14). Each end of the discharge tubes is fixed to the optical bench (14) by means of clamp (15a, 15b, 15c, or 16). When counted from the clamp nearest to the partial-reflection mirror, the first clamp (15a), the fourth clamp (15b), and the eighth clamp (15c) are non-movable with respect to the optical bench, while the remaining clamps (16) are movable, and thus adjustable. One total-reflection mirror unit of the two total-reflection mirror units (19 and 20) on the bending unit (18) is non-movable, and the other total-reflection mirror unit is movable.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. Positive and negative electrodes (1,2) of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart and electrically isolated from one another so that the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes (1,2) is established by fluid to be treated extending between the electrodes. Fluid passing between the electrodes is therefore ionized. Because it has been found that superior effects can be achieved when the fluid is ionized under a voltage only condition, in which there is relatively little current flow through the fluid, an electrical insulator (3) is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, extending across any shortest direct path therebetween. Thus, the electroconductive connection between the electrodes (1,2), that is established only by the body of fluid to be treated in the apparatus, is established through the fluid along a path that extends around the electrical insulator (3). Such a path, which is longer than any shortest direct path between the electrodes (1,2), defines a relatively long resistive path through the fluid between the electrodes. Accordingly, current flow is inhibited.

Abstract: An anti-wrap apparatus and method for high speed printing press involves detecting the start of web (16) wrap after web break to deactivate the press motors and apply the press brakes. In addition the detection mechanism (26) which senses a change in the web path, can sever the already printed web being drawn backwards by the start of web wrap, to limit the availability of web material, for web wrap. In the case of difficulty to sever web materials, severing action can be enhanced by forcing the web (16) being drawn backwards, against the severing detection mechanism.

Abstract: The K most frequently occurring symbols in an image represented by an alphabet of N symbols are mapped to a set of K codewords. The length of each codeword is an inverse function of the frequency of occurrence of the corresponding symbol in the image and the longest codeword is of length d bits. The remaining N-K symbols are mapped in order of their magnitude to a set of supplementary codewords of a uniform maximum length D bits. The d most significant bits of each supplementary codeword form a prefix which is uniform within each set and specifies whether the corresponding symbol is positive or negative. The remaining or least significant D-d bits of each supplementary codeword comprise a suffix and are mapped in order of bit position to progressively more narrow ranges of symbol values of the remaining N-K symbols.

Abstract: A method is described for routing calls outside of a carriers network based on characteristics of the call, the attributes of the caller, the status of subscriberprovided resource, and the status of network telephone provided facilities. Information about the call and the caller's identification is sent from the public switched telephone network (100) to a subscriber call routing processor. The carrier is directed by the routing processor to route the call to the subscriber's resource (108, 109, 110) best able to handle the call. Information about the call and the business relationship the caller has with the subscriber is used by the routing processor to determine which type of resource is needed to handle the call. The routing processor then chooses the particular resource (108, 109, 110) of that type to which the call is to be routed based on the current status of the resource, the status of the network-provided facilities, and the criteria established by the subscriber for selecting between alternative resources. Resource types may include any PSTN terminations, including automatic call distributors, audio response units, modems, and individual stations. The routing processor may also send information to the carrier to be delivered to the subscriber resource to assist in handling the call.

The hydrophobic polymer should be at least substantially biodegradable and thermoplastically processible, and the mixture with the starch should contain a polymeric phase promoter or a macromolecular dispersant, so that the starch is present in the mixture as the disperse phase with the hydrophobic polymer as the continuous phase, and the phase promoter or the dispersant is responsible for the molecular coupling of the two phases. The starch used is preferably thermoplastic starch prepared by means of sorbitol or glycerol essentially in the absence of water. The preparation of the biodegradable polymer mixture should likewise take place essentially in the absence of water.
