Abstract: A novel device of the present invention detects an abnormal driving condition where a sub-throttle valve pressed in a full-opening direction by means of a spring is abruptly driven in the full-opening direction due to an abnormal condition of an actuator, and controls an internal combustion engine according to the requirements. A difference DLTA in an opening TA of a sub-throttle valve 34 within a preset time period is determined (steps S100 through S130) and then compared with a predetermined range allowing to be driven by a stepping motor 32 (step S140). The sub-throttle valve 34 is pressed in a full-opening direction by means of a spring 54. In case of a step-out of the stepping motor 32, the sub-throttle valve 34 is abruptly driven in a full-closing direction by the spring 54. When an abrupt change of the sub-throttle valve 34 is detected, a process under abnormal conditions (abnormality process) including reduction of fuel injection is implemented (step S160). However, when a manifold negative pressure is not abruptly changed while an abnormal condition of the stepping motor 32 is detected, the abnormality process may not be executed since no abrupt variation in the air intake is expected. When an abrupt change in the manifold negative pressure is detected, on the other hand, an ISC valve is closed to compensate for the abrupt change.

Abstract: A coupling device interconnects a car connector BC and a charger connector SC positively by a small force to charge a battery in an electric car. After incompletely coupling, when an operation lever 8 together with a grip 32 are grasped, a sector gear 16 is turned to an anticlockwise direction and a pinion 15 is rotated to the anticlockwise direction through an intermediate gear 17. Thus a coupling plate 10 is moved from an advanced position to a retracted position through engagement of the pinion 15 and a rack 13. Distal ends of the coupling plates 10 are closed during a former movement of the plates so that windows 21 in the plates receive projections 22 on a connector housing of a car connector BC. A connector housing 2 of a charger connector SC together with a body 3 are drawn into the housing 1 during a latter movement of the plates, thereby completely interconnect both connectors BC and SC. When the lever 8 returns to an opening position, the coupling plate 10 is backed from the retracted position to return the housing 2 together with the body 3 and detach the housing 1. When the body 3 is pulled, both connectors BC and SC are separated.

Abstract: An improved 3270 data stream architecture to eliminate data bytes in the 3270 data stream to improve line utilization and reduces network costs. First, a 6-bit increment option has been added to the addressing options for the buffer control orders to reduce the number of address bytes in the set buffer address (SBA) order, repeat to address (RA) order, and the erase unprotected to address (EUA) order. Second, a reduced Start Field (SF) and repeat to address (RA) orders are implemented with utilizing a modified Set Attribute (SA) order to designate the field attribute character and repeat character. The SF and RA orders following the SA order in the data stream are reduced in length. Third, a Modify Existing Format has been implemented which provides a means of modifying a format load that is currently in the format storage of the out-board device without having the host application program resend the entire format when only a small portion of the format needs to be modified. Specifically, the Load Format Structured Field has been modified to add the modify existing format fields to modify specified portions of the Load Format Structured Field without having to retransmit the entire field. Lastly, to enable a host application to selectively determine when to reset the Format Group rather than resetting the Format Group Selection automatically prior to being able to use a loaded format, a modified Set Partition Characteristics structured field is used by the host application to selectively enable and disable the Local Format Storage feature.

Abstract: Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Generierung von ebenen technischen Kurven oder Konturen zur Darstellung von technischen Bildern anzugeben, das mittels Digitalisierung von parametrischen polynominalen und rationalen kubischen Bezierkurven in der x-y-Ebene aufeinanderfolgende Rasterpunkte mit möglichst wenigen einfachen Rechenoperationen erzeugt. Die parametrische Form einer Kurve wird hierzu in die implizite Form f(x, y) = 0 mit einem kubischen Polynom f transformiert. Der zu erzeugende Kurvenbogen wird (falls erforderlich) in Abschnitte zerlegt, in denen keine der Funktionen x'(t), y'(t), x'(t)+y'(t) und x'(t)-y'(t) das Vorzeichen wechselt und keine Selbstüberschneidung der durch f = 0 gegebenen Kurve auftritt. In jedem Abschnitt wird ausgehend von einem bereits ermittelten Rasterpunkt nahe der Kurve der nächste Rasterpunkt aus zwei jeweils durch ein Inkrement in einer oder gleichzeitig in beiden Koordinatenrichtungen erreichbaren Punkten ausgewählt, indem das Vorzeichen von f in der Mitte zwischen beiden Kandidaten bestimmt wird. Das Verfahren benötigt 10 Parameter, die pro Rasterpunkt durch lediglich 6 Additionen aktualisiert werden. Anwendungen sind etwa Laserbelichter (Drucker, Plotter, etc.), Mikrolithografie mit Elektronen- oder Röntgenstrahlen, Mikrosystemtechnik, binäre und integrierte Optik, Herstellung von Lichtwellenleitern, 2-D-Robotersteuerungen, Drucktechnik und die Visualisierung von Entwurfsdaten.
