Patent EP-1274145-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AOYAGI SATOSHI
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel cell power supply device which can
accurately determine a requested output current of a fuel
cell depending on an electric energy requested by a load even
if output current/voltage characteristics of the fuel cell
change. A power supply management control unit 14 has an I-V
characteristics estimating unit 52 for estimating output
current/voltage characteristics (I-V characteristics) of a
fuel cell by substituting a linear function (V = F(I)) in
which a gradient indicates an internal resistance (Rfc) of
the fuel cell and an interception of an axis representing a
voltage (V) indicates an open-circuit voltage (Vfc_o) of the
fuel cell calculated by a fuel cell open-circuit voltage
calculator 51 for the I-V characteristics. On the basis of
the I-V characteristics of the fuel cell estimated by the I-V
characteristics estimating unit 52, a requested output
voltage determining unit 53 and a requested output current
determining unit 54 determine a requested output voltage
(Vfc_REQ) and a requested output current (Ifc_REQ),
respectively, which are needed to obtain a target total
electric energy (Psys).

Abstract: Disclosed is an automated teller machine (ATM) configured to selectively
make a driving roller (12) and a driven roller (53) which transfer banknotes along a
predetermined path in the ATM come into or out of contact with each other. In the
ATM, a plurality of driven rollers are rotatably installed in a cover plate (51) to make the
driven rollers contact corresponding driving rollers by rotating the cover plate toward
the driving rollers, or to make the driven rollers separate from the driving rollers by
rotating the cover plate in the opposite direction. Thus, even if a banknote moving
between a pair of a driving roller and a driven roller comes to a stop due to a jam, the
banknote can be easily removed from the pair of rollers just by making the pair of
rollers be spaced apart from each other. Therefore, prompt and simplified repair
and maintenance are allowed and the ATM can be prevented from malfunctioning
due to a banknote jam.

Abstract: A memory array (25) and some addressing circuitry (30) therefor are formed by
creating circuit elements (26) at the crossing-points of two layers of electrode conductors
(70, 76) that are separated by a layer of a semiconductor material (72). The circuit
elements formed at the crossing-points function as data storage devices in the memory
array, and function as connections for a permuted addressing scheme for addressing the
elements in the array. In order to construct the addressing circuitry, the electrode
conductors are fabricated with a controlled geometry at selected crossing-points such that
selected circuit elements have increased or decreased cross-sectional area. By applying a
programming electrical signal to the electrodes, the electrical characteristics (e.g.
resistance) of selected circuit elements can be changed according to the controlled
electrode geometry.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a signal transmission method
in a wavelength-division-multiplex (WDM) transmission
system. The WDM transmission system comprises a first WDM
terminal (1 or 3) for transmitting a WDM signal, a second
WDM terminal (3 or 1) for receiving the WDM signal, and
an optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) node (2-1, 2-2,
or 2-3) for transmitting to a network element (6-1, 6-2,
or 6-3) an optical signal of a specific wavelength of the
WDM signal which is transmitted between the first and second
WDM terminals (1 and 3). The WDM signal is transmitted
from the first WDM terminal (1 or 3) to the second WDM
terminal (3 or 1) regardless of whether an optical signal
is added or dropped at the OADM node (2-1, 2-2, or 2-3).
The network element (6-1, 6-2, or 6-3) employs an optical
signal of an idle wavelength of the WDM signal that has
no transmission data, to transmit another transmission
data that is transmitted by the network element (6-1, 6-2,
or 6-3).

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer array comprising individual transmit MUT elements and receive MUT elements includes the transmit MUT elements and the receive MUT elements distributed in two dimensions over the array. By using different MUT elements for transmit and receive operation, each MUT element can be independently optimized for either transmit operation or receive operation. Furthermore, by independently optimizing the MUT elements for either transmit or receive operation, the same bias voltage can be applied to the MUT elements, thereby simplifying the bias circuitry associated with the MUT transducer array. Alternatively, because the MUT elements are independently optimized for transmit and receive, different bias voltages can be applied to the transmit and receive elements, thus providing further optimization of the elements.
