Patent EP-0790394-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MOROTA KENJIRO
IPC: F02M35/104
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: A variable intake apparatus includes an intake manifold. The manifold has a surge tank (23) and a plurality of branch pipes (31, 32, 33, 34) extending therefrom. The air in the surge tank is drawn into the combustion chambers (20) of an engine (12) via the branch pipes. The lengths of the branch pipes are different. A movable pipe (41, 42, 43, 44) is slidably located in each branch pipe. The movable pipes slides within the branch pipes for changing the effective passage length of the intake passages. The passage lengths of the movable pipes are determined such that the effective intake passage lengths are equalized. A motor (45) actuates the movable pipes to slide within the branch pipes based on the engine speed. The movable pipes integrally move with respect to the branch pipes while keeping the passage lengths of the intake passages equalized.

Abstract: The arrangement connects a device (DEV) to a conductive system bus(S-BUS) using a multiple plane plug device (SV) with at least three contact planes (SE2-4). One of these planes signals the start and another signals the end of a plug process. The supply voltage (VCC) for the device to be connected is conveyed via a contact plane (SE3) between the start and end planes (SE2,SE4). The supply voltages can be highly controlled for the device increasing up to an end value, in dependence on a control circuit (VCC-CTL). The signal effectively existing at the end of the plug process is first switched in an oscillating manner. Then it only changes into a permanent signal for signalling correct connection when the supply voltages (VCC) have reached their end value.

Abstract: Centrifugal filtration capable of imnproving recovery of crystal in a basket (20). The basket is so arranged that a central axis thereof is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction to obliquely downwardly orientate a bottom wall (20b) of the basket. A crystal recovery suction pipe (33A) is arranged which includes a pivotally movable section (33b) pivotally moved in the basket, of which a distal end is advanced into crystal in the basket. Crystal in the basket is recovered by suction through the distal end of the suction pipe, which is ultimately displaced to a corner (P) of the basket between a lowermost portion of a peripheral wall (20a) of the basket and the bottom wall. This permits crystal collected to a lowermost section of the basket to be substantially recovered by suction through the suction pipe, to thereby improve crystal recovery.

Abstract: A graphical user interface is disclosed that consists of a toolbar and toolbar icons that can be directly linked to Web documents containing references to Java applets or data files that collectively implement the functions associated with the icons. The Web documents and/or the referenced objects can be remote (i.e., accessible over the Intemet) or local (directly accessible via the operating system of the computer displaying the GUI). The graphical user interface is linked to Web browser software so that, whenever a toolbar icon is selected, the interface triggers the Web browser to load the Web document linked to the selected icon. Once this occurs, the Web browser automatically loads the files referenced by the Web document and then executes those of the loaded files that are executable (i.e., Java applets or standalone programs). In a preferred embodiment, each toolbar icon is linked to a single applet (remote or local) that implements the icon's functions. Due to the linkage between an icon's associated Web document and the Web browser, the icon's associated applet is executed automatically whenever the icon is selected.

Abstract: A copy protection mechanism for protecting software against copying, consists of a challenge mechanism embedded in each protected item of software. The challenge mechanism has no access to the customer's private keying material. In operation, the challenge mechanism sends a random challenge to the customer's signature server. The signature server signs the challenge, using the customer's private keying material and then returns the signed challenge to the challenge mechanism. The challenge mechanism then verifies the signed challenge, using the customer's public keying material, and prohibits the customer from using some or all of the protected item of software unless the verification is successful. The mechanism permits every customer to receive an identical copy of the copy protected program with the embedded challenge mechanism.

Abstract: A thermal ink-jet pen cartridge (50) having a rigid extemal frame member (78) is fabricated from a rigid engineering plastic and an interior frame structure (68) is attached thereto, formed of a softer, more ductile plastic material than the engineering plastic. An ink reservoir (62) is defined by the interior structure (68) and a pair of flexible bag membranes (64, 66) formed of a plastic material impervious to the ink and compatible with the interior member material, allowing the membranes (64, 66) to be joined to the interior member (68) to form a leak-proofjoint. The extemal structure (78) has locking features (144) formed into an interior surface. When the interior member (68) is injection molded to the external member (78), the molten material flows into and around the locking features (144), securing the interior member (68) to the external member (78) and resisting the shrinkage forces as the molten material cools. The ink reservoir (62) is filled through a fill port (130) passageway (134) extending through the external frame member (78) and the inner member (68). The passageway (134) is lined with the softer material of the inner member (68), and is sealed by an oversized ball (132) press fit into the passageway (134) after the ink filling process. The extemal frame member (78) comprises polysulfone, while the interior frame structure (68) comprises a polymer blend composition comprising (A) a copolymer of ethylene and methyl acrylate and at least one of (B) a polyester copolymer and (C) either a styrene-ethylene/propylene or a styrene-ethylene/-butylene-styrene block copolymer. The present polymer compositions provide good chemical and heat stabilities and solvent resistance when subjected to inks used in printing. Further, the present polymer compositions are flexible and have excellent compatibility and adhesion to the various polymeric components used in the ink jet cartridge (50).

Abstract: There is disclosed a structural alignment method
making use of the double dynamic programming algorithm.
Distance cut-off approximation is performed (step S1), and
AN cut-off approximation is then performed (step S2). An
alignment is produced based on the results of distance cut-off
approximation and AN cut-off approximation (step S3).
Subsequently, an ε-suboptimal region defined by the obtained
approximate solution is determined (step S4). Further, DDP
based on a full structural environment is performed for
residue pairs within the ε-suboptimal region (step S5). The
structural alignment method is simpler than conventional
methods, and can shorten computational time while
maintaining high accuracy.
