Patent EP-0828303-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAWATSU SHIGEYUKI
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: A fuel-cells generator system of the present invention
carries out an appropriate control to ensure a high output even
when a catalyst carried on an electrode is poisoned. An
electronic control unit of the fuel-cells generator system
measures an output voltage E of fuel cells, a concentration D
of carbon monoxide included in a gaseous fuel, a temperature
T of the fuel cells, and a pressure P of the gaseous fuel at
steps S100 through S130. When the output voltage E has been
lowered by the amount of change that is not less than a
predetermined voltage E0 at step S140 and when the concentration
D of carbon monoxide measured by a carbon monoxide sensor
represents the poisoned state of a catalyst carried on the
anodes of the fuel cells at step S150, the temperature T of the
fuel cells is gradually increased at step S180. The pressure
P of the gaseous fuel is also gradually increased at step S190,
in order to enable a partial vapor pressure in the gaseous fuel
to be kept at a constant value even under the condition of the
increased temperature of the fuel cells. This structure keeps
the partial vapor pressure in the gaseous fuel at a constant
level, thus preventing the partial pressure of hydrogen in the
gaseous fuel from being lowered and ensuring a continuous supply
of hydrogen to the anodes.

Abstract: An engine having an air intake passage for drawing air
into a combustion chamber and an injecting device for
injecting fuel into the combustion chamber. A mixture of
air and fuel undergoes stratified charge combustion.
Sensors detect the operating conditions of the engine, and a
swirl control valve opens and closes the air intake passage
to swirl the air-fuel mixture. An actuator drives the swirl
control valve. A computer computes a target opening angle
of the swirl control valve in response to the detected
operating conditions. A controller controls the force of
the swirl by controlling the actuator in accordance with the
computed target opening angle. A detector detects
fluctuation of engine rotation. A corrector corrects the
target opening angle in response to the detected fluctuation
of the engine rotation to improve the performance of the
engine.

Abstract: A framed soap composition comprises (a) from 20 to
50% by weight of a fatty acid soap, (b) from 1 to 15% by
weight of a nonionic surfactant, and (c) from 0.1 to 5%

incorporated with air bubbles is produced by melting a
mixture containing these components while heating the
mixture in the presence of water, subjecting the
resultant molten material to aeration treatment to
incorporate air bubbles, and pouring the resultant molten
material incorporated with air bubbles, into a frame
followed by cooling to harden the molten material.

Abstract: A method of making an x-ray mask intended to expose photoresist upon a layer which is to be etched to a nominal dimension, whereby effects such as global divergence, local divergence, and dose non-uniformity are compensated by adjusting the feature dimension in the mask. The compensation is achieved by varying the dose provided by an electron beam which is used to define the feature upon the x-ray mask or by adding or subtracting pixels during writing of the pattern with an electron beam. The dose is varied by changing the electron beam current or the rate at which the electron beam scans the field. The features are typically those encountered in the processing of a semiconductor wafer wherein the smallest dimension is 250 nm or less.

Abstract: A post-processing method and apparatus are described whereby a second image is formed by horizontally shifting pixel primitives of a first image by an amount determined by their respective depths to give a parallax shift. To avoid gaps appearing in the shifted image, two z-buffers (60, 62) are maintained during rendering of the first image with the second (62) being loaded by discarded values of the first (60) such as to provide a record of the first occluded primitive for each pixel. The horizontal shift is applied to the contents of both z-buffers and the results written to a third z-buffer (64) such that gaps due to the varied shift applied to the first image values (the unshifted contents of the first buffer 60) are filled by previously occluded values from the second buffer (62). The two images may then be output to a suitable stereoscopic display such as a Virtual Reality headset (34).

Abstract: Nouveaux types de copolymères de monomère aromatique d'alpha-oléfine/vinyle dont les spectres RMN au carbone 13 ont des signaux caractéristiques. En particulier, les copolymères d'éthylène/styrène décrits ont des crêtes dans les spectres considérés, qui apparaissent à l'intérieur du domaine de déplacement chimique compris entre 43,70 et 44,25 mg/l, de préférence entre 43,75 et 44,25 mg/l et entre 38,0 et 38,5 mg/l, ces crêtes équivalant au moins à trois fois le bruit de crête à crête. Les copolymères sont obtenus par polymérisation du mélange approprié de monomères, en présence d'un catalyseur comme le dichlorure de zirconium de (diméthylsilanediyle (2-méthyle-4-phénylindényle)) racémique. Les polymères décrits ont un module accru, du point de vue de la contrainte de traction/déformation due à la traction et des propriétés mécaniques dynamiques, à des niveaux de monomère aromatique de vinyle comparable.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allowing a first thread (112) to "share" its remaining time
quantum with a second thread (112) when the first thread is blocked. A thread (112)
may be blocked, for example, if it is waiting for a resource such as a data file or a
lock. A thread may also be blocked if it is waiting for an event, such as a user
keystroke. If there is a thread on the run queue that "owns" the resource needed by
the consumer thread, the blocked consumer thread transfers its right to execute for a
remaining time quantum to the owner thread, and the owner thread executes next. If
the threads (112) are in a same process (110), this transfer means that no process
context switch is required, since the consumer thread and the owner thread are
threads of the same process (110). In addition, this transfer means that the time
before the resource becomes available to the blocked consumer thread will be short.
Similarly, if a consumer thread is blocked to await an event, such as a user
keystroke, the blocked consumer thread's remaining time quantum are transferred to
another thread in that is waiting on the run queue for its turn to execute. Again, if the
threads (112) are in a same process (110), this transfer avoids having to perform a
context switch between processes.

Abstract: When a vehicle is moving out of a lane of a road, an
image processing computer unit (5) judges the hazardous condition.
Then, a power steering control computer unit (6) calculates a
correction reaction force based on a steering angular velocity
and increases a steering reaction force so as to generate a large
steering effort. This lane moving-out prevention system is
constituted such that only when the steering angular velocity
is large, i.e., when a driver turns a steering wheel sharply,
the steering reaction force is increased, thereby no additional
reaction force is produced when the driver makes a normal turn.

Abstract: A dressing (110) for promoting healing and pain relief of the body of a living organism having a pathologic condition has at least one layer of conductive material (114) having a resistance no greater than 1000  OMEGA /cm<2>. When placed proximate a portion of the body of the living organism suffering from the pathologic condition (5), the dressing alters the electrodynamic processes occurring in conjunction with said pathologic condition to promote healing and pain relief in the living organism. When used as a wound dressing, the conductive material (114) is placed in contact with tissue (21) around the periphery of the wound and with the wound (19), lowering the electrical potential (23) and resistance (27) of the wound (19) and increasing the wound current.
