Title: Combustion control system for changing between homogeneous and stratified charge modes in a direct-injection, spark-ignition i.c. engine
Inventor: AKIMOTO AKIRA
IPC: F02D41/04
Filed: 1997-06-30
Abstract: In an in-cylinder fuel injection engine capable of selectively switching a combustion strategy from a stratified charge combustion to a homogeneous charge combustion and vice versa, when a coolant temperature at engine start is lower than a specified temperature, the combustion strategy is established to be a homogeneous charge combustion mode and this homogeneous charge combustion mode is held until the coolant temperature reaches the specified temperature. While the coolant temperature is higher than the specified temperature and lower than a warm-up completion temperature, the combustion strategy is switched from homogeneous to stratified by lowering the engine load from a high load area to a low load area so as to improve emissions and fuel economy. On the other hand, when the engine is restarted at the coolant temperature higher than the specified temperature, the combustion strategy is established to be homogeneous until the fuel pressure reaches a specified value and is switched from homogeneous to stratified after the fuel pressure reaches the specified value.

Title: Printer for randomly marking a lottery ticket or game card
Inventor: HARDY WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: A63F3/06
Filed: 1997-09-08
Abstract: The printer comprises an array of ink absorbent pins 48 attached to the bottom ends of rods 46 independently movable within respective apertures 44 from a stowed (Fig.2) to a marking position (Fig.3). Each row of apertures is separated by ridges 42. In operation, a user shakes the printer such that each of several balls 62 enters wholly a randomly selected aperture. A spring loaded transparent cover 20 with pins 64 on an underside thereof is then pushed downwards such that each pin engages a respective ball. This moves the balls further into the apertures, which in turn moves each rod from its stowed position such that its related marking pin contacts and marks a game card. The printer may be used with a game card holder (100,Fig.5) and ink supply (112).

Title: A method and apparatus for recording an alerting signal for use in a cellular telephone
Inventor: HEIE ANDERS FAHNOE
IPC: H04M19/04
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording an alerting signal in a cellular telephone comprising a microphone 40 for receiving an input audio signal wherein the audio signal is sampled and converted into a digital signal by ADC 50. A Fourier transform converter 80 and switch 90 are used to select the strongest frequency from each sample which is then stored in memory 100. Alternatively, the average of several selected frequencies may be used. The selected frequencies stored in memory form a digital representation of the alerting signal. Reference frequencies stored in a tune table can also be used when selecting and storing the chosen frequencies. The audio signal may be supplied by a compact disc player or other audio equipment and may be received by infra red or radio frequency means. By sampling the audio signal and storing selected frequencies the amount of memory required to store the signal can be reduced.
Patent GB-983317-A (GB)
Abstract: 983, 317. Voltage measuring. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. Feb. 20, 1963 [Feb. 28, 1962], No. 7766/62. Heading G1U. In an arrangement for measuring the output voltage of an A.C. bridge, a transformer 8 is supplied at its primary winding with the same A.C. voltage as is used to supply the bridge, while the outputs from the bridge and the transformer secondary windings are applied to a difference amplifier 9. The difference amplifier produces an output whose phase depends on which of the two input voltages is of the greatest magnitude. This information is determined in the phase detector 11 and the output from this used to control an arrangement 10 which adjusts the transformer secondary tapping until a balance is obtained. The position of the tapping then indicated the bridge output voltage. A detailed description of the means by which the transformer secondary tappings are adjusted is given, a system of logically operated relays and uniselectors being utilized (Fig.2). In this system the transformer is set initially to its zero output setting. The output from the detector 11 operates a transistor 12 and thus the uniselector 19. This brings into operation relays and uniselectors so that the tapping of the first secondary winding 52 of the transformer is stepped past the balance point, at which stage the detector 11 delivers an opposite polarity output. This actuates a transistor 13 and the uniselector 20, which controls a system which steps out one tapping of the winding 52 and brings the winding 53 into circuit. The procedure repeats on this winding (whose total output voltage is equivalent to that from one section of the winding 52). The winding 54 gives further finely graded outputs.
