Abstract: La présente invention concerne une suspension de carbonate de calcium stabilisée par acide possédant un pH inférieur à 7, de préférence compris entre environ 6 et environ 7, contenant de l'eau, du carbonate de calcium de préférence précipité, et un stabilisateur acide constitué par un sel de calcium hydrosoluble, un acide faible, un agent chélateur, un acide faible capable de chélater un ion calcium, ou un mélange de ceux-ci. Le stabilisateur acide est présent en quantité suffisante pour produire une suspension aqueuse de carbonate de calcium possédant une concentration accrue en ions calcium et un pH acide. Dans une suspension de carbonate de calcium stabilisée par acide typique de la présente invention, le stabilisateur acide est présent en quantité suffisante pour produire une concentration en ions calcium comprise entre environ 1 millimole et environ 5 millimoles, de préférence entre environ 1 et environ 120 millimoles. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé de fabrication de la suspension de carbonate de calcium stabilisée par acide de la présente invention, à un procédé permettant de former un papier chargé selon lequel on ajoute la suspension de carbonate de calcium stabilisée par acide de la présente invention à une pâte à papier au cours d'un processus de fabrication de papier acide, et à un papier chargé produit selon le procédé de la présente invention.

Inventor: ALBERTY MICHAEL
IPC: H04L27/36
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: The transmitter is constructed according to LINC principles, linear amplification with non-linear components. It has two parallel signal branches each with an amplifier (V1,V2) and a phase modulator (PM1,PM2). A band separation (WE) is provided which divides the input signal (D1) onto the two signal branches. A combiner (KB) adds the output signals (S11,S22) of both branches to a sum signal (SS). To adjust phase errors in the two signal branches, the band separation is arranged to interchange the allocation of the input signal parts (S1,S2) to the two signal branches cyclically with a preset frequency (fc). The cyclical commutation of the input signal sections produces an amplification modulation of the sum signal which is detected and changed depending on the phase in one of the signal branches so the amplitude modulation is minimal.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling fuel injection
in an internal combustion engine (1) for preventing torsional
vibrations of the engine without deteriorating the acceleration
performance is disclosed. The apparatus is provided with a
control unit (an ECU) (30) for controlling a fuel injection
quantity for the diesel engine (1) of a vehicle (10). The ECU
(30) calculates the change rate ΔNE of engine revolutions in
accordance with an input from a crank angle sensor (35) and
subtracts a value obtained by smoothing a variation component
of ΔNE from the ΔNE so as to extract a torsional vibration
component thereof. Moreover, the ECU (30) corrects the fuel
injection quantity of the engine to reduce the torsional
vibration component. Since the extracted torsional vibration
component does not contain steady change in the revolutions
during acceleration or the like, the steady change in the
revolutions caused only by the acceleration is not affected by
the correction of the fuel injection quantity. Therefore,
deterioration in the acceleration performance caused by
prevention of the torsional vibrations can be prevented.

IPC: G06Q20/02

Abstract: A procedure for tracking transactions carried out between multiple cost
centers and an in-house supply facility of a business entity is carried out by setting
up the supply facility to function essentially in the same manner as an independent
retail merchant through the existing bank card association. Transactions at the
stock room are identified as to amount, cost center, date, and other information
which is transferred to a network services host computer. This transaction
information is then transferred as a batch to a merchant accounting system which
transfers the information to the bank card association to the card issuer. The card
issuer then provides a funds payment that is transferred through the bank card
network to the merchant accounting system and finally to the merchant acquirer.
The merchant acquirer, however, then transfers the funds back to the credit card
issuer to cancel out the original funds transfer and thereby provide a closed loop
funds transfer. The bank card association generates transaction information which
is passed through the merchant accounting system to the merchant acquirer which
in turn pays an interchange fee that is transferred through the merchant accounting
system to the bank card association and ultimately into an account for the credit
card issuer. Periodically, the merchant accounting system provides a
comprehensive collection of the transaction information performed by the stock
room to the credit card issuer who in turn generates a transaction report that is 
provided to the business entity for updating its general ledger. At the close of a
month, the totality of transactions for the stock room of the business entity is
communicated to the credit card issuer which in turn determines the amount of
interchange fees it has received from the merchant acquirer and pays a
corresponding amount for the interchange fees back to the merchant acquirer, thus
essentially zeroing out the interchange fees in a closed loop manner. A statement
for the service of generating the transactions report is then issued by the credit card
issuer to the business entity.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved process for fabricating devices
containing metallized magnetic ceramic material, such as inductors,
transformers, and magnetic substrates. In particular, the unique vias
utilized in the process of the invention allow fabrication of devices from
multiple unfired ferrite layers with only a single via-coating step,
thereby avoiding the need numerous punching steps. Moreover, there is
no need for expanding the dimensions of the vias and thus no need for
internal metallization. The invention therefore provides for green tape-type
fabrication of devices such as inductors, transformers, and magnetic
substrates in a manner faster, less complex, and more reliable than
current methods. The invention also relates to use of an improved
conductive material in such a process, the conductive material
containing silver/palladium particles, ferrite particles, a cellulose-based
or other organic binder, and a solvent. After firing of the substrate onto
which the ink has been coated, and plating of copper thereon by a copper
pyrophosphate bath, the plated copper exhibits a pull strength greater
than about 4 kpsi, advantageously greater than about 5 kpsi. Use of a
copper pyrophosphate bath also allow uniform plating within long,
narrow vias.

Abstract: A duplex printing apparatus is equipped with a
first image forming process unit (250), a second image
forming process unit (260), a fixing section (410,
420), a conveyance system (700), and a control section
(1100). In making a switch-over between printing
modes, the control section (1100) causes the fixing
section (410, 420) to fix on the medium (1) the unfixed
toner image formed during the printing mode in
operation before the switch-over, and then causes the
conveyance system (700) to convey the medium (1) to a
printing start position for operation of the printing
mode after the switch-over. With this, in making a
switch-over between printing modes, even when the
medium (1) is fed back to the start position, it is
less likely that the unfixed toner image formed on the
medium (1) will be disturbed. Therefore, printing
quality can be maintained and printing can be performed
on the medium (1) without waste.
