Abstract: A fuel metering control system for an internal combustion engine including a feedback loop having an adaptive controller and an adaptation mechanism that estimates a controller parameters θ̂. The adaptive controller corrects the quantity of fuel injection to bring a controlled variable obtained at least based on an output of said air/fuel ratio sensor, to a desired value. The air/fuel ratio sensor outputs are sampled and one of the sampled data is selected as the air/fuel ratio to be input to the adaptation mechanism. Similarly, the sensor outputs are sampled and one of the samples is selected in accordance with another characteristic to be used in the estimation of the air/fuel ratios of the individual cylinder. The air/fuel ratio is discriminated to be within a prescribed range, and set to a predetermined value when it is determined to be within the prescribed range.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for controlling energisation of a take-up motor driving a take-up spool of used ink ribbon in thermal printing apparatus. Prior to a printing cycle, the take-up motor is energised to rotate the take-up spool until tension in the ink ribbon caused rotation of an ink ribbon supply spool. The take-up spool is then rotated a predetermined amount and resultant rotation of the supply spool is determined by sensing means. A function dependent upon the rotation of the supply spool is determined and used during subsequent operation of the apparatus to control energisation of the take-up motor such as to wind the used ribbon onto the take-up spool with a desired amount of tension in the used ribbon.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast rendering of objects or scenes on a display controlled by a computer system. The scene to be rendered is stored as a series of triangle lists in an object data file. The triangle lists are presorted by the system into front- and back-facing triangles, as determined by scalar products of the triangle's normal vector with a vector from each respective triangle to the user's selected viewpoint. An array of pointers is generated for the front-facing triangles, and another array is generated for the back-facing triangles. The object or scene is rendered by first loading the attributes for the front-facing triangles to a frame buffer controller, then processing all of the front-facing triangles sequentially, without switching back and forth between front- and back-facing triangles. The attributes for the back-facing triangles are then loaded, and the back-facing triangles are then all processed sequentially. If culling of either front- or back-facing triangles is selected by the user, then that set of triangles is not processed. The data generated in the processing of the front- and back-facing triangles are used to drive the display.

Abstract: A small elliptic high pass filter is incorporated into a low noise block downconverter (LNB)
to reject image frequencies in a 12 GHz Direct home satellite television Broadcasting System
(DBS). A waveguide transition with Separate electric probes receives Ku-band satellite signals and
transmits the signals to low noise amplifiers (LNAs), a power combiner, an elliptic high pass filter,
and a HEMT MMIC receiver. Within the HEMT MMIC receiver, the signal is passed through an
RF amplifier stage. A mixer mixes the signal from the RF amplifier stage with a local oscillator
signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF). An IF amplifier stage amplifies the IF signal
which is further processed by a television decoder box. Due to the unique response of the elliptic
high pass filter, the elliptic high pass filter provides a superior image rejection with lower insertion
loss for the LNB, and therefore provides improved television reception quality.

Abstract: A structure for a vehicle frame assembly (10) and method of manufacturing same are disclosed. The vehicle frame assembly (10) includes a plurality of structural members (20) having hollow ends which are connected together at joints by a plurality of joint nodes (30). Each of the joint nodes (30) includes a body (31) having two or more projections (32) extending therefrom. To join a structural member (20) to a joint node (30), the hollow end of the structural member (20) is initially disposed about the projection (32) of the joint node (30). The cross sectional shape of the projection (32) is preferably similar to, but somewhat larger than, the cross sectional shape of the hollow end of the structural member (20). Thus, the end portion of the structural member (20) is deformed somewhat when it is moved over the projection (32) to establish a press fit relationship therebetween. Following this initial installation, the structural member (20) and the projection (32) are then permanently joined together by welding. Because of the heat generated during the generation of the weld, a heat affected zone is created in the structural member (20). The heat affected zone immediately surrounds the weld and extends a relatively short distance along the length of the structural member (20). The projection (32) of the joint node (30) extends through and beyond the heat affected zone of the structural member (20) so as to provide internal mechanical support to the weakened region of the structural member (20). Thus, although the structural member (20) itself is weakened in the heat affected zone by the formation of the weld, the overall strength of the combined structural member and joint node assembly is not reduced.

Abstract: A process for the continuous production of an ABS resin includes a step of polymerizing 100 parts by weight of a monomer component, which is composed of a styrene monomer and an acrylonitrile monomer or of their mixture and a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with at least one of the monomers, in the presence of 4 to 50 parts by weight of a rubbery polymer by continuous bulk and/or continuous solution polymerization to form a polymer of the monomer component as a continuous phase and particles of the rubbery polymer as a dispersed phase. The polymerization step comprises at least two substeps, one being a first-stage substep of forming particles of the rubbery polymer and the other a second-stage substep of adjusting the particle sizes of the particles. The first-stage substep is conducted in a polymerization system making use of a plug flow reactor or a batch polymerization reactor, and conducts polymerization at least until the particles are formed in the polymerization mixture. The second-stage substep increases the amount of the monomer component converted into the polymer compared with that in the particle forming substep, and reduces the particles size. A polycarbonate-ABS resin composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hologram optical pick-up using two

according to the present invention, laser beams having
different wavelength, which are emitted from first and
second laser sources (11, 11') and focused by an objectiveive
lens (16) on a disc (17, 18), are reflected at a
surface of the disc (17, 18). The reflected laser beams
are diffracted by a first hologram (13) or a second
hologram (14), and then received by a first photo
detector (19) or a second photo detector (20). Accordingly,
laser beams having different wavelengths according
to a thickness and a recording surface of the disc
are emitted by the first laser source (11) or the second
laser source (11') to compensate for aberration of laser
beam due to the thickness of the disc (17, 18). Thereby,
the hologram optical pick-up can reproduce data from
discs (17, 18) having different recording surface without
loss of data. Also, the hologram optical pick-up can
record and reproduce data on/from any disc under best
environment and can increase efficiency of the laser
