Title: High-speed acs unit for a viterbi decoder
Inventor: HANSQUINE DAVID
IPC: G06F7/38
Filed: 2000-10-23
Abstract: System performing an ad-compare-select (ACS) butterfly operation in an implementation of the Viterbi algorithm. The system includes a first memory element (145) for storing a plurality of source state metrics; a multiplexer (670) which is capable of selecting between a first and second operating path based on even and odd clock cycles. ACS mechanism (600), which calculates the target state metrics for each of the source state metrics. A second memory coupled to the ACS mechanism and the multiplexer, is used to temporarily store the target metrics. The multiplexer therefore selects the first operating path during even clock cycles and supplies the source state metrics from the first memory to the ACS mechanism to generate target state metrics. During odd clock cycles, the multiplexer selects the second operating path to access the second memory and use the previously calculated target state metrics as intermediate source state metrics.

Inventor: KURODA TATSUYA
IPC: F01L1/26
Filed: 2002-07-09
Abstract: An outboard motor includes an internal combustion engine provided with a pair of intake valves. The opening and closing operation of one of the intake valves can be paused. The internal combustion engine comprises a vertical crankshaft, a cylinder head provided with an intake port having a pair of intake openings for one combustion chamber, and a fuel injection valve for injecting the fuel into the intake port. The intake port has an upper branch section and a lower branch section extended under the upper branch section. A valve train includes a valve-operation mode changing mechanism. The valve-operation mode changing mechanism pauses the opening and closing operation of the first intake valve and operates the second intake valve for opening and closing the lower intake opening of the lower branch section while the internal combustion engine is operating at engine speeds in a low-speed range. Thus, the amount of the stagnant fuel staying on the wall surface of the intake port can be reduced, variation of the air-fuel ratio can be suppressed, and the stability of combustion can be improved.

Title: Wood accelerating drying process based on its rheological properties
Inventor: PERRE PATRICK
IPC: F26B21/06
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: The objective of the present invention is an accelerated drying process for wood, capable of use with all species and of maintaining the quality of the dried wood intact, in which the temperature of the system is kept within the glass transition temperature range, for an appropriate period so as to attain the intended humidity ratio of the wood. It relates to an accelerated drying process for wood based on the rheological properties (hygro-thermalviscoelastic) of the latter, where the glass transition temperature of lignin is used as a relaxant or neutralization agent for the residual growth stress of trees, as well as those from the drying process. The process is controlled by monitoring the temperatures of the wood through the use of thermocouples placed along the length of the pieces. Furthermore, the use of the process of the present invention provides a significant reduction in the drying time and a reduction of the defects because molecular fluidity is maintained.

Abstract: A mass transit system of a transit authority automatically determines and applies the lowest possible transit fare to a patron's account, thereby releasing the patron from decisions leading to the most cost effective fare instrument for his or her transit pattern. A fair fare system and method utilizes the transit authorit's existing hardware infrastructure, i.e., mainframe, vendors, gates, smart card and Point of Issue (POI) devices, with additinoal processing mechanisms for determining the best fare over rolling time periods. Because a relatively large storage capacity of the fare instrument is required, smart cards are employed for use with the fare fair system.

Title: Process for the production of high quality middle distillates from mild hydrocrackers and vacuum gas oil hydrotreaters in combination with external feeds in the middle distillate boiling range
Inventor: MUKHERJEE UJJAL KUMAR
IPC: C10G65/12
Filed: 2002-12-11
Abstract: In the refining of crude oil, vacuum gas oil hydrotreaters and hydrocrackers are used to remove impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and metals from the crude oil. Typically, the middle distillate boiling material (boiling in the range- from 250°F-735°F) from VGO hydrotreating or moderate severity hydrocrackers does not meet the smoke point, the cetane number or the aromatic specification. in most cases, this middle distillate is separately upgraded by a middle distillate hydrotreater or, alternatively, the middle distillate is blended into the general fuel oil pool or used as home heating oil. With this invention, the middle distillate is hydrotreated in the same high pressure loop as the vacuum gas oil hydrotreating reactor or the moderate severity hydrocracking reactor. The investment cost saving and/or utilities saving are significant since a separate middle distillate hydrotreater is not required. A major benefit of this invention is the potential for simultaneously upgrading difficult cracked stocks such as Light Cycle Oil, Light Coker Gas Oil and Visbroken Gas Oil or Straight-Run Atmospheric Gas Oils utilizing the high-pressure environment required for mild hydrocracking.
