Abstract: A motor control apparatus for a hybrid car capable of reducing a
spin of the wheel (14) driven by the motor, wherein the hybrid car
comprises an engine driven wheel (12) driven by an engine (11) and a
motor driven wheel (14) to be driven by a motor (13) for driving the wheel
not driven by the engine (11). In an engine (11), a front wheel (12) driven
by an engine (11), a generator (15) connected to this engine and driven
thereby, an electric motor (13) for driving the rear wheel (14) connected
by the generator without being driven by the engine, and a controller (20)
mounted on the car to control the output of this electric motor; the
controller (20) controls the field currents of the electric motor (13) and
generator (15) in such a way that the driving torque of the motor driven
wheel (14) to be driven by the electric motor (13) is smaller than the
driving torque of the engine driven wheel (12) to be driven by the engine
(11), thereby ensuring the traction and the car stability.

Abstract: A vaned diffuser for a centrifugal compressor has provision for selectively adjusting the pitch of the vanes 21 in order to accommodate variable load conditions. Each of the vanes 21 is rotatable about a pivot pin 34 near its leading edge and is engaged with an actuation member 66 near its trailing edge 33. The actuation members 66 are attached to a common ring 62 which can be selectively rotated to move to the vanes 21 in unison. The ring 62 is supported by rollers at its outer periphery and is positioned at the outer periphery of a diffuser wall such that there is no forward facing step projecting into the flow stream. A throat 87 is defined between adjacent vanes, and the pivot pin 34 for each vane 21 is located downstream of the throat on the pressure side of the vane 21 to reduce turbulence in the flow at the throat.
Patent EP-1473917-A1 (EP)
IPC: H04M1/2745
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: The multimedia service for mobile telephony makes use of short
message service (SMS) in order to notify (through a notification
message) to recipient terminals that they can download a multimedia
message or to inform the sender of a multimedia message that its message
has been correctly received (read report). 
     However, the SMS technology is not well adapted to performing
notification in fixed telephony because, up to now, there are relatively
few networks and terminals which are equipped with devices authorising
SMS. 
     The invention relates to a terminal for fixed telephony
comprising:
   means for receiving and/or transmitting multimedia messages according to
the MMS standard,   means for receiving from a gateway server, through a conventional channel
or line for fixed telephony, an identification number representing the
gateway and an alert relating to a multimedia message, and   means for establishing, after reception of said identification number, a
communication with the gateway server, this communication being
according to HTTP over the internet protocol, said communication being
for retrieving at a given location in said gateway server, an alert
message relating to a MMS message, the given location identification in
the gateway server being predetermined in the terminal.    
     So the goal of the invention is to provide a solution for alerting purposes
relating to multi media messages in fixed telephony which is independent from
short message service (SMS) and which provides maximum compatibility
between MMS for mobile telephony and MMS for fixed telephony. "Alerting"
means here any information provided to terminals which relates to multimedia
messages. Notification and read report messages are such alerting
messages.

not undergo mutual contact at the position where it undergoes crossing,
a driving machine 9 is installed so as to be inclined such that
a rotation axis of the drive sheave 12 is at an acute angle with
respect to a vertical line, and, there are provided a first deflector
sheave 17 guiding the first main rope 30 from the driving machine
9 to the car 4 and a second deflector sheave 18 guiding the first

Abstract: A method and associated structures for coding a sequence of data bytes (BY1,BY2), in which two bits (B1, B2) of a data byte form a double bit (D1-D4). Each double bit is represented by a time slot frame (ZR1-ZR4) that has at least four time slots (ZS1-ZS4). The time slots can assume an on or off value (Z1, Z0). The coding is carried out in a time slot frame such that at least one time slot is preloaded with an off value (Z0) at a position (AF). The time slots that have not been preloaded have, at most, one time slot with an on-value in order to form a logic value (00, 01, 10, 11) of a double bit. The method can be used for identification systems (IS), for mobile data memories (DT) and for reader/writers (SLG). Therein, a higher data rate and/or a greater transmission distance between the reader/writer and the mobile data memory is achieved.

Abstract: A shoe insole (111) for diabetics is provided with a sole base body (136), a sole covering layer (137) and with a number of cushion-like layers (112, 113, 114, 115, 116) distributed over the surface of the sole. The cushion-like layers consist of at least one first cushion-like layer (112) in the forefoot joint area, a second cushion-like layer (113) in the midfoot/tarsus transition area, and of a third cushion-like layer (114) in the midfoot/heal transition area. These cushion-like layers serving to assist venous blood draining are each subdivided into individual plateau-like areas (118 to 127) that are adjacent in the transversal direction of the sole surface (117) while being separated from one another. The top side of the cushion-like layers also covered by the sole covering layer (137) is raised relative to the level of the top side of the sole base body (136). The aim of the invention is to provide a shoe insole of the aforementioned type that, while providing a lasting assistance of arterial inflow into the foot or foot sole area, has a continuing positive influence on the foot or foot sole areas endangered by a diabetic metabolic condition. To this end, at least one indentation (161, 162) is provided between the first cushion-like layer (112) in the forefoot joint area and the second cushion-like layer (113) in the midfoot/tarsus transition area. Said indentation serves to relieve the pressure on the midfoot bone capitulum(s) and emanates from the top side of the sole base body (136).

Abstract: Procédé d'activation et/ou de préconditionnement rapide et économique de substrats d'épuration des gaz visant à réaliser une convection forcée du gaz de préconditionnement ou d'activation par les pores du substrat. Pour cela, on pompe le gaz dans le réceptacle contenant le substrat et on le fait monter à une pression élevée qui est maintenue sur une courte durée prédéterminée, puis on ventile les contenus du réceptacle. On met à nouveau le réceptacle sous pression avec le gaz de purge à un niveau élevé, et la pression élevée est maintenue sur une courte durée prédéterminée, puis on ventile le réceptacle. On peut répéter ce cycle autant de fois que nécessaire. L'activation et/ou le préconditionnement peut être effectué sur une durée bien plus courte et avec bien moins de gaz comparé aux processus de préconditionnement et d'activation par diffusion. Ce procédé est notamment approprié pour préconditionner et activer des substrats épurateurs de gaz afin de réduire la concentration en contaminants jusqu'à un niveau égal ou inférieur à 1 ppm.
