Patent EP-1088972-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TERAJI ATUSHI
IPC: F02F1/24
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: An in-cylinder direct-injection spark-ignition
engine operable in at least a stratified charge
combustion mode where fuel injection is executed on a
compression stroke while introducing a normal tumble flow
created on an intake stroke to an induced air drawn into
a combustion chamber through an intake port, includes
a piston movable through a stroke in a cylinder, and
having a cavity combustion chamber recessed in a piston
crown and formed into a circular-arc shape in a flow
direction of the normal tumble flow. The cavity
combustion chamber is formed in the piston crown so that
the cavity combustion chamber extends from an intake
valve side to an exhaust valve side. As seen from a
cross-sectional view from a direction perpendicular to
the flow direction of the normal tumble flow, a recess
of the cavity combustion chamber is circular-arc shaped
in cross section by two different curved surfaces being
continuous with each other, namely a first curved surface
located at the exhaust valve side and having a first
predetermined radius of curvature and a second curved
surface located at the intake valve side and having a
second predetermined radius of curvature greater than
the first predetermined radius of curvature.

Abstract: A vacuum processing apparatus has vacuum
processing chambers (11a,11b,11c) the insides of which
must be dry cleaned. When the vacuum processing
chambers are dry-cleaned, dummy substrates (30) are
transferred into the vacuum processing chamber by
substrate conveyor means (13,14) from dummy substrate
storage means (1c) which is diposed in the air
atmosphere separate from storage means (1a,1b) for
storing substrates (20) to be processed, and the inside
of the vacuum processing chamber is dry-cleaned by
generating a plasma. The dummy substrate (30) is
returned to the dummy substrate storage means (1c)
after dry cleaning is completed. Accordingly, no
specific mechanism for the cleaning is necessary and
the construction of the apparatus can be made simple.
Furthermore, the dummy substrates (30) used for dry
cleaning and the substrates (20) to be processed do not
coexist, contamination of the substrates to be
processed due to dust and remaining gas can be
prevented and the production yield can be high.

conditions, a power storage unit (22) for storing electric energy generated by the motor
acting as a generator using the output from the engine and electric energy regenerated by
the motor when the vehicle decelerates. The control system comprises: an output assist
determination device (S122, S135) for determining, based on a determination threshold
value (MTHAST, MAST, MASTTH) as the standard, whether to assist the output from
the engine by the motor, depending on the driving conditions of the vehicle; an air-fuel
controller (12) for changing the air-fuel ratio of the mixture, which is to be supplied to
the engine, to a condition leaner or richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio; a
determination threshold value changer (S251, S301) for changing the determination
threshold value, depending on whether the air-fuel ratio of the mixture is leaner or richer
than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio; and a determination threshold value change
prohibiting device (S254, S304) for prohibiting the operation of the determination
threshold value changer when the air-fuel controller changes the air-fuel ratio of the
mixture from a condition leaner than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to a condition
richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

Abstract: An optical device for use with an optical input beam comprises an
optical thresholding device (OTD) having a predetermined threshold
level, and is positioned along an optical path defined by the
propagation direction of the optical input beam (12). A source (20)
generates a control beam (22) through the OTD, wherein if the combined
intensity of the optical input beam (12) and the control beam (22) is
large enough to exceed the threshold level of the OTD, the optical beam
passes through the OTD. The OTD attenuates the optical beam as it passes
therethrough. In a preferred embodiment, the OTD is a saturable
absorber. When the device is configured as an optical comparator, the
intensity of the optical input beam (12) is large enough to exceed the
threshold level of the OTD, the OTD saturates and turns transparent so
that the control beam (22) passes through the OTD as an optical
indicator beam and the optical input beam (12) passes through the OTD.
When configured as an optical signal attenuator and the intensity of the
optical input signal is negligible compared to that of the control beam,
the combined intensity of the optical input signal and the control beam
do not saturate the OTD.

Abstract: La présente invention propose un dispositif (10) de circuit intégré à logique programmable présentant une pluralité de régions (20) de logique programmable disposées sur le dispositif en une pluralité de rangées et colonnes de croisement desdites régions. Des ressources d'interconnexion (e.g. conducteurs d'interconnexion, amortisseurs/amplificateurs de signaux, connecteurs programmables et autres) sont prévues sur le dispositif pour effectuer des interconnexions à partir de, vers et/ou entre les régions. Certaines au moins de ces ressources d'interconnexions se présentent sous deux formes qui sont d'architecture semblable (e.g. ayant un acheminement similaire et parallèle) mais qui possèdent des caractéristiques de vitesse de propagation de signal considérablement différentes. Par exemple, la majeure ou une plus grande partie de ces ressources (200a, 210a, 230a) d'interconnexion à dualité de forme présente ce que l'on peut appeler une vitesse de signal normale, tandis qu'une plus petite partie (200b, 210b, 230b) peut présenter une vitesse notablement supérieure.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product of pricing options which involve more than one underlying asset. The method employs a lattice approach by extending current trinomial techniques to higher dimensions, while achieving a maximum economy of nodes. Such economy produces computational advantages in terms of faster execution speed and the utilization of less memory resources. The method valuates options under a general form (i.e., Brownian motion) where parameters may depend on time and price, and accounts for drift and volatility parameters.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système relatif au non respect des limitations de vitesse sur route par un véhicule. Ce système comprend une station de base avec une unité de traitement de données qui traite des données transmises à un téléphone cellulaire local par un émetteur embarqué sur le véhicule routier, cet émetteur transmettant via GPS des informations sur la localisation géographique ainsi que sur l'identité du véhicule et sa vitesse en ce point géographique. L'émetteur, qui peut être en mode actif ou silencieux, est activé par un déclencheur qui reçoit du compteur de vitesse un signal indiquant une vitesse supérieure ou égale à une vitesse limite programmée dans le déclencheur de transmission. Ce déclencheur de transmission peut être re-programmé sur d'autres valeurs limites correspondant à une limitation de vitesse réglementaire. A cette fin, un ensemble de transmission cellulaire émet un signal de commande sur un canal de commande, signal qui est reçu par un sélecteur sur le véhicule. Le signal de commande émis par l'ensemble de transmission cellulaire informe le sélecteur de la valeur de la limitation de vitesse la plus basse dans la cellule sollicitée par l'ensemble de transmission. En retour, le sélecteur programme le déclencheur de transmission en fonction de cette valeur de telle sorte qu'il puisse actionner l'émetteur en réponse à un signal de vitesse supérieure à la valeur programmée. En l'absence d'un signal de commande, le sélecteur programme le déclencheur sur la limitation de vitesse la plus élevée valable pour le véhicule considéré.
