Abstract: This driving source in hybrid type invention does not carry the output control of the fuel cell in accordance with the operating degree of the vehicle accelerator pedal but in accordance with the charging amount (the chargeable residual capacity) of the battery 1 which fluctuates with a vehicle move. That is, the output of the fuel cell system 3 can exchange when the chargeable residual capacity is from 70 % to 90 %, the output of the fuel cell system 3 is 3 kW, when it is from 70 % to 60 %, it is 5 kW, and when it is below 60 %, it is 10 kW. Consequently, the fuel cell system 3 can generate power in the effective range of from 30 % to 33 % and can charge the battery 1 effectively. Yet, the output of the fuel cell in each group is settled and the thermal fatigue of the fuel cell is prevented because of few output fluctuation. The electric motor becomes the drive disapproval state and thereafter when the electric motor moves without stopping the fuel cell immediately and by continuing the output of the fuel cell and charging the battery 1, the electric motor is in the full charge state, or batter fluctuation state. The charge time is that when the charge time is inputted from the input device 12, the output of the fuel cell which becomes full charge (90 %) during the time is selected.

Title: Electric cable termination fittings
Inventor: HEATHERINGTON ROY IAN
IPC: H01R13/658
Filed: 1995-07-14
Abstract: A termination fitting for an electric cable having an annular metal protective layer enclosed in an outer jacket of polymeric material comprises a metallic hub with a mounting spigot and a nut screwed to it (directly or indirectly). These hold in compression between them a deformable metal member comprising a base part bearing (directly or indirectly) on the nut and a number of fingers projecting longitudinally of the fitting from the base part towards the hub. The hub has a tapered female surface positioned to engage the fingers when the hub and the nut are screwed together and deflect them inwards towards the axis of the fitting and at least one of the fingers has a sharp distal end which is intended to pass through the outer jacket of the cable into direct mechanical engagement and electrical contact with its annular metallic protective layer.  Thus the termination can be made without stripping the outer jacket and without separating the parts of the fitting, saving termination time; splaying of flexible armor is inhibited; and mechanical grip ("retention") is improved.

Inventor: NAKANISHI HIROAKI
IPC: H04J3/17
Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: The slot assign system disclosed has a central station and a plurality of peripheral stations, and the communication between them is made through an artificial satellite. The central station stores pre-assign slot information for each of the peripheral stations, and multiplexes slot assign information to be changed at a next frame over the pre-assign slot information. The peripheral station, on receipt of the slot assign information, transmits the next frame using a slot assigned to itself. The central station sends a vacant slot with no pre-assignment as a non-assign information signal, and the peripheral station recognizing the vacant slot transmits, using the slot assigned to itself, a reservation request for using the vacant slot. The central station transmits a frame next to the frame to which the slot has been assigned. Thus, the slot assign information is centrally controlled by the central station and can be changed without cutting off the data link between the central station and the peripheral stations.
Patent CA-2171170-A1 (CA)
Title: Pipelined distributed bus arbitration system
Inventor: NORMOYLE KEVIN B
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 1996-03-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a scalable, modular and pipelined distributed bus arbitration system for efficiently resolving bus contention between sub-systems, e.g., processors, coupled to a common system bus. The arbitration system includes a plurality of distributed bus arbiters which receives the bus requests from the sub-systems and independently determine the next bus master. The arbitration protocol enables the arbitration process to be eliminated from the critical timing path thereby allowing the system to operate at the maximum system clock frequency possible for a given integrated circuit (IC) technology to reduce overall system clock latencies. Any change among the sub-systems during an arbitration clock cycle is based on any system bus request(s) which are active during a clock cycle immediately preceding the arbitration clock cycle, and is independent of any system bus request(s) asserted during the arbitration clock cycle. In addition, the arbitration protocol treats a current bus master, i.e., the bus master driving the system bus, preferentially. Each arbitration task is completed within a system clock cycle regardless of processor speed. As a result, the arbitration latency for retaining the current bus master is one system clock cycle while the latency for selecting and switching bus masters is two system clock cycles. In this implementation, a last port driver is the only sub-system permitted to assert a bus request in a clock cycle and immediately drive the system bus in the next immediate clock cycle. Conversely, when a second sub-system which is not the last port driver needs to drive an inactive system bus, the second sub-system asserts its bus request line in a first clock cycle, and arbitration occurs within all the respective bus arbiters occurs in a second clock cycle.

Title: Mehtod of producing lens, method of fabricating article with lens, articles with lens, resin composition for forming defining lines and lens-forming resin composition
Inventor: YUMOTO YOSHIHIDE
IPC: G02B30/27

Abstract: A lens body or article with lens is produced by forming lens-forming defining lines on the surface of a substrate, coating a lens-forming resin on the surface to thereby allow the lens-forming resin to swell in a convex form between the lens-forming defining lines by means of the repellency of the lens-forming resin with the lens-forming defining lines, and then curing the lens-forming resin. To this method is added a step of providing an image on the substrate to obtain an article with lens having the image. The image can stereoscopically be seen through the article with lens obtained by this method.
