Abstract: An infinitely variable transmission has a gear neutral (GN) point and serves as
an output member by torque circulation. When a pulley ratio thereof is within a
predetermined range from the GN point, a coasting state occurs which may hinder
smooth torque transmission based on the transmission efficiency and generate a great
engine braking effect (failure in the transmission resulting from the coasting state)
based on a large gear ratio. When the pulley ratio assumes a predetermined value that
may cause failure in transmission resulting from the coasting state, upon release of the
accelerator pedal, an electronic throttle system performs control such that the engine
outputs a predetermined torque. Thus a positive driving state is always established.
In this state, the continuously variable transmission CVT is shifted in the upshift
direction to escape rapidly from a range defined by the pulley ratio of the
predetermined value.

Abstract: A dictionary system has a vendor computer and a plurality of
client computers that communicate through the Internet. Each
client computer has a word processor program with a spelling
checker that utilizes a local main dictionary provided by the
vendor and a local customized dictionary containing words added
by the user. The vendor computer contains a dictionary of
approved words, a database of misspelled words, and a database of
requested words. When a user adds a new word to the local
customized dictionary, an Internet request is sent to the vendor
computer to add the new word to the dictionary of approved words.
The user is notified by an Internet message from the vendor
computer if the requested word is misspelled. The database of
requested words from all users is reviewed periodically and
utilized to update the approved dictionary. The updated
dictionary is periodically released to the users as an upgrade to
the local main dictionary. Users are compensated for the words
that they contribute to the approved dictionary.

Abstract: All two-character chains including two general characters
and all three-character chains including one special character
between two general characters are detected from a
registration character string in which a large number of
special characters not having any meaning are frequently
arranged, or all two-character chains including two general or
symbolic characters are detected from a converted registration
character string produced by changing each special character
of the registration character string to one type of symbolic
character determined in correspondence to one general
character adjacent to the special character. Also, occurrence
frequencies of the general or symbolic characters of each
chain are counted and stored in a recording medium with the
registration character chains. When a retrieval character
chain is input, occurrence frequencies of particular character
chains corresponding to all retrieval character chains
detected from the retrieval character string in the same
manner are read out from the recording medium and are collated
with each other, and a particular character string agreeing
with the retrieval character chain is retrieved from the
registration character string. Because an occurrence frequency
of any special character is not counted or the special
characters are changed to various types of symbolic
characters, a recording area required for the occurrence 
frequencies of the registration character chains can be
reduced.

Abstract: A mechanically stable self-aligned MxN optical switch (1) having a low insertion
loss is achieved by employing three cleaved silica optical structures (30,40,50) containing a
plurality of waveguides (35,45,55). A monolithic silica optical structure is cleaved into the three
corresponding structures (30,40,50). Each of the first and third structures (30,50) has a cleaved edge (32,52) and a
respective set of waveguides (35,55) extending parallel to a corresponding structure surface.
The second structure (40) has two substantially parallel cleaved edges (42,44) and a plurality of
sets of waveguides (45) extending parallel to a corresponding structure surface. The
corresponding surfaces of the first, second and third structures (30,40,50) are positioned on, for

Abstract: A lock comprises a body having first (14) and second (22) opposite side plates each having an orifice (16, 20) therein so as to form a passage therebetween. A cylindrical lock cylinder (2) passes through the passage and is driveably connected with a rotatable cam (8). A bolt member is mounted for movement relative to the body and is moveable by the cam (8). The lock cylinder (2) is received by first and second close-fitting sleeves (12, 24) which are secured thereto, the second sleeve (24) being removably secured, such that an inner end of each of the first and second sleeves (12, 24) abuts the first and second side plates (14, 22) respectively, so as to prevent axial movement of the lock cylinder (2). The first sleeve (12) has at least one projection (12b) on its inner end (12a) which is received in the orifice (16) of the first side plate (14) and is a close fit therein, so as to substantially prevent rotation of the first sleeve (12). The first side plate (14) has an upstanding ridge (18a) on an inner face (14a), which is located such that when the lock is in the locked position it is adjacent the cam (8) and sufficiently limits axial movement of the lock cylinder (2) that the at least one projection (12b) on the first sleeve (12) is not completely disengageable from the orifice (16) in the first side plate (14) even when the second sleeve (24) is removed, whereas when the lock is in an open position such axial movement is not limited by the ridge (18a) (Fig 2). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

surface 5a of piston 5, extending from cut-away section
18 toward the exhaust port via the outer perimeter of

Abstract: A method and system for decoding tailbiting convolution codes are
disclosed. A set of tailbiting convolutional codes is encoded by a convolutional
encoder having multiple encoding states. A first starting score is assigned to
each of the encoding states. A Viterbi algorithm is then performed once on the
tailbiting convolutional code to associate an ending score with each of the
encoding states. A subset of these encoding states is subsequently selected,
within which the ending score of each encoding state meets a certain criterion.
The Viterbi algorithm is again performed on the tail biting convolutional code for
each encoding state within the subset to determine the best encoding state as
the most likely initial encoding state for the tailbiting convolutional code. A
Trellis path of this most likely initial encoding state is utilized to decode the
tailbiting convolutional code.

Abstract: A down hole tool, constructed to be suspended in a
well by pipe, includes a housing (42), a circulation piston (82), a
biasing member (94) and a pressure-compensation system. The
housing defines a flow chamber in open fluid communication
with the pipe interior, a bypass port for fluid flow between
the flow chamber and the well, a mud chamber in open
communication with the well, and a sealed chamber separated
from the flow chamber by a sealed interface. The
circulation piston separates the flow and mud chambers and
is arranged for movement between a first, bypass port-blocking
position and a second, bypass port-exposing
position in response to pressure in the flow chamber. The
biasing member biases the circulation piston to its first
position, and the pressure-compensation system limits the
pressure difference between the flow and sealed chambers,
thereby limiting the pressure difference across the sealed
interface. The tool has particular application to tools,
e.g. well logging tools, adapted to be connected downhole to
a wireline cable connector that is pumped down the well.
Methods of use are also disclosed.
