Abstract: A continuously variable transmission of an automotive
vehicle comprises a primary pulley disposed on a power input shaft,
and a secondary pulley disposed on a power output shaft. Each of the
primary and secondary pulleys includes a fixed wheel counterpart
having a first sheave surface, and a movable wheel counterpart
having a second sheave surface. The first and second sheave surfaces
face each other to form a pulley groove whose width is changeable
with axial movement of the movable wheel counterpart. An endless
belt is wound on the primary pulley and the secondary pulley so that
the secondary pulley is drivably connected to the primary pulley.
The belt includes a steel belt portion, and a plurality of steel
elements supported on the steel belt portion and aligned along the
steel belt portion. The respective steel elements are engageable in
the pulley grooves of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley. In
the above arranged continuously variable transmission, the sheave
surfaces of the fixed and movable wheel counterparts of the primary
pulley has a first surface roughness, and the sheave surfaces of the
fixed and movable wheel counterparts of the secondary pulley has a
second surface roughness which is rougher than the first surface
roughness.

Abstract: A dynamic synchronous collaboration framework
utilizes a distributed synchronization point to permit
synchronous collaboration of mobile agent objects
in a distributed computer system. The framework
simplifies agent collaboration for applications which
divide a complex problem into multiple tasks and
delegate tasks to multiple mobile agents. The collaboration
framework also enables mobile agents within
an application to perform synchronous collaboration
with affiliated agents in the native language of
an associated software application. Such collaboration
is accomplished by joining collaborating agents
to an agent group. Member agents periodically correlate
results through a collaborative sharing within
the agent group, and may adopt new behaviors based on
the results of the collaboration.

Abstract: An improved barrier layer of tantalum to prevent
diffusion of copper into a dielectric layer is made by
alternately sputter depositing a thin amorphous tantalum layer
and a tantalum nitride layer. The wholly amorphous tantalum-containing
layer prevents formation of a columnar structure in
thick tantalum layers which tend to peel, destroying the
barrier. The sputter depositions of tantalum and tantalum
nitride can be repeated until the desired thickness of the
barrier is obtained.

Abstract: Beam steerers are used in optical communications to direct a light signal towards a
selected angular direction. Conventionally, the light signal is finely steered by
employing mirrors to reflect the light signal. A beam steerer, arranged to direct a light
signal in a free space optical communications system includes a pair 6,7 of lenses,
through which a light signal 17 is transmissible, the lenses having opposite and
substantially equal optical power, and displacing means 8,9 for translating one lens
with respect to the other, transverse to an optical axis of the lenses. The provision of
lenses permits the angular deflection of the beam per unit distance translation of a lens
to be selected, as this is dependent on the optical power of the lenses. Selection of this
ratio is not possible with mirror-based beam steerers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a display device comprising a cache memory (4) consisting of memory segments, each memory segment being capable of storing an image fragment. A video generator (8) is driven by a video cache reader (5), which builds up a screen image from complete or partial image fragments stored in the memory segments. By means of hardware counters and registers (6) the address of an image point in the cache memory (4) is derived from the address of the image point read in last. As a result of this, the screen image can be built up very rapidly, so that no special screen memory is required and the amount of data to be transferred is reduced.

Abstract: A method to reduce the wave resistance of an airplane by disposing a
fluid element such as an engine nacelle at a predetermined position on an
upper surface of a main wing, positively superposing the air flow generated
by the fluid element onto the air flow on the upper surface of the main wing,
thereby establishing a gentle profile of pressure on the upper surface of the
main wing, and retarding the generation of a shock wave. If the engine
nacelle is disposed on the upper surface of the main wing, and the
longitudinal position of the front end of the engine nacelle is set in a range of
63% to 100% from the front end of a wing chord of the main wing (see  b  and
 i  in Fig. 9), a shock wave is generated on the upper surface of the main wing
in the range of a transonic speed to inhibit an increase in wave resistance.
Thus, the cruising speed can be increased, while avoiding an increase in
amount of fuel consumed. If the front end of the engine nacelle is ahead of
the position corresponding to 63% of the wing chord (see  e  and  f  in Fig. 9), a
shock wave inhibiting effect is not exhibited, and the wave resistance is
increased.

Abstract: A casing accommodating therein a pair of balance shafts
below the cylinder block comprises an upper casing and a lower
casing that can vertically be split, and an oil pump body is
molded integrally with one of the upper and lower casings. In
addition, one end of each of the two casings is inserted into
the oil pump body for support therein, and the two balance shafts
are each supported on a bearing provided between the two casings
in such a manner as to be split into two halves at an intermediate
portion or the other end thereof. With this construction, the
oil pump body can be molded together with the casing, thereby
making it possible to reduce the number of components used and
man hours for assembling. In addition, since the bearings can
be split into two halves, when compared with other portions of
the balance shafts, the journal portion can be thinned, thereby
making it possible not only to reduce the sliding friction but
also to make the casing smaller in size and lighter in weight.
More over, the degree of freedom of designing balance shafts
can also be improved. With the balance shaft supporting
structure for an engine the durability of a balancer, as well
as the degree of freedom of designing the same are improvided
without making the engine larger in size and increasing the
number of components used.

Abstract: A method for preparing a slurry for forming a catalyst layer of a PEM fuel cell electrode and a method for fabricating the PEM fuel cell produced thereby are provided. The method for preparing a slurry for forming a catalyst layer of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell according to the present invention comprises the steps of (a) adding an MOH solution to a perfluorosulfonate ionomer (PFSI) solution to convert PFSI in the PFSI solution into an M +  form-PFSI solution, wherein M is an alkaline metal selected from the group consisting of Li, Na and K; (b) adding an organic polar solvent having a higher boiling point than that of alcohol remaining in the PFSI solution to a mixed solution obtained in step (a) and heating the mixture at a temperature range of the boiling point of the alcohol to 20° C higher than the boiling point to remove the remaining alcohol to obtain a pretreated PFSI solution; and (c) mixing the pretreated PFSI solution with Pt/C to form a slurry for forming a catalyst layer of a PEM fuel cell. Since processing stability is improved and the slurry can be easily prepared, Pt loading greater than a conventional level can be achieved by a single coating step by preventing a Pt catalyst from penetrating into a backing layer, the electrode characteristics are improved. Also, mass production of the PEM fuel cells is possible.
