Abstract: In an engine exhaust pipe (3), an NOx catalyst (19)
for occluding NOx in a state of the lean air-fuel ratio and
reducing the occluded NOx in the state of the rich air-fuel ratio.
A CPU (31) sets a target air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied
to an engine (1) to the lean side with respect to the
stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for the lean mixture combustion.
The CPU (31) sets a rich time for a rich mixture combustion in
accordance with the engine operating state and the NOx
purification rate in the NOx catalyst (19). In this moment, the
shortest rich time is set within a range in which a desired NOx
purification rate by the NOx catalyst (19) is obtained. A
three-way catalyst (19a) may be arranged upstream of the NOx
catalyst (19). The three-way catalyst (19a) carries only a noble
metal such as platinum having no oxygen storing capability.

Abstract: A powertrain for a vehicle includes an engine, a multi-speed
transmission and control, and output drive mechanisms. The transmission has
an electro-hydraulic control for establishing the transmission drive ratios and
the interchange therebetween. The ratios are established by a plurality of
friction devices, one of which is engaged for the lowest forward ratio. The
control has a microcomputer which evaluates vehicle operating parameters and
maintains the transmission properly controlled in response to various input
signals. The transmission is maintained in an auto neutral condition when the
engine is at idle, the transmission output speed is zero, the vehicle brakes are
engaged and the forward drive has been selected. The control continually
adjusts the pressure in the one friction device to maintain the torque capacity
thereof in a range less than full engagement and greater than a minimum
value.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of cleaning a
semiconductor wafer after lapping in the manufacture thereof
comprising the steps of slicing a monocrystalline ingot into
a semiconductor wafer, and chamfering, lapping, acid-etching,
and then mirror-polishing the thus-obtained semiconductor
wafer. The semiconductor wafer is cleaned in a strong-alkaline
aqueous solution at a point of time after the
lapping and before the acid-etching, such that the surface
of the semiconductor wafer is dissolved in an amount in the
range of 4 - 8 µm. The cleaning method prevents generation
of a protrusion on the outer circumferential end portion of
the wafer in the subsequent acid-etching step.

Patent EP-0902355-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SANTOS GREGORY N
IPC: G06F12/10
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: A computer system having a core logic chipset that functions as a bridge between an
Accelerated Graphics Port ("AGP") bus device such as a graphics controller, and a host
processor and computer system memory wherein a Graphics Address Remapping Table ("GART
table") is used by the core logic chipset to remap virtual memory addresses used by the AGP
graphics controller into physical memory addresses that reside in the computer system memory.
The GART table enables the AGP graphics controller to work in contiguous virtual memory
address space, but actually use non-contiguous blocks or pages of physical system memory to store
textures, command lists and the like. The GART table is made up of a plurality of entries, each
entry comprising an address pointer to a base address of a page of graphics data in memory, and
feature flags that may be used to customize the associated page. The core logic chipset may cache
a subset of the most recently used GART table entries to increase AGP performance when
performing the address translation. A GART cache entry control register is used by an application
programming interface, such as a GART miniport driver, to indicate to the core logic chipset that
an individual GART table entry in the chipset cache should be invalidated and/or updated. The
core logic chipset may then perform the required invalidate and/or update operation on the
individual GART table entry without having to flush or otherwise disturb the other still relevant
GART table entries stored in the cache.

Abstract: The structure of the joint between co-operating
cushioning elements 2a, 2b, is in that a ridge defining a
cushioning member 2 bulged at the top thereof is formed at
one end and a groove 24 corresponding to said ridge at the
other end and said ridge and said groove are integrated by
engaging them. By the integration, the strength of the
joint is increased. In the case of jointing a plurality of
arcuate members 2a, 2b to form the cushion member 2, the
arcuate members differ in hardness among them are used
arranging the softest arcuate members 2a at the portion
where the compressive deformation is the largest. This
suppresses an excessive concentration of stress at the
pipe joint portion in curved jacking. The sectional shape
of the cushion member 2 is in that at least one side of
the cushion member 2 is uneven having a slope, a groove or
a stepped portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solid film
lubricant useful for aerospace and other heavy machinery
applications comprising a mixture of boric acid and
molybdenum disulfide in a polymeric binder comprising a
silicone polymer and an epoxy resin is provided. Boric
acid and compounds related to boric acid can be
effectively used as inorganic lubricant components in
solid film lubricants (SFLs) in place of graphite
thereby avoiding galvanic corrosion induced by graphite.
The boric acid containing SFL provides superior
lubrication at the high stress levels common for booster
rockets and other aerospace applications, but without
inducing galvanic corrosion, or exposing workers and the
environment to toxic materials such as lead compounds.
In addition, it affords substantial savings in labor,
due to the need for only one coat, and savings in energy
due to the substantially lower cure temperature of about
250°C (450°F) compared to 550°C (1000°F) for a currently
used two coat ceramic system. There is also a
significant savings in time, hazardous waste disposal
costs and human protection costs by using the boric acid
containing SFL.

Abstract: A method is described for changing between jobs in a device
for slitting a web (N) into a plurality of lengthwise strips (L1, L3, L5, L1', L3',
L5') with two series of slitting tools (25, 25B). At the moment of the job
changeover, the tools of a first series are moved from a slitting position to an
inactive position and the tools of the second series are moved from an
inactive position to a slitting position. The passage from one position to the
other is delayed for one of the tools of each series in order to generate two
