Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide steering responsiveness and linear
steering perception when the steering wheel is restored, even when there is excessive,
sudden steering beyond a predetermined tolerance (- E  ≤  ≤  E ). 
     If a steering angle  suddenly enters a "play" range at the left and right ends of the
-X n  plane, the steering direction (turning direction/restoring direction) of the steering
wheel can lead to a localized change in the gear ratio (∂X n /∂). Fig. 3 is a graph showing
an example of this type of hysteresis loop. When a driver tries to get out of the "play"
range by turning the steering wheel in the restoring direction, a positive value can be
achieved for the localized gear ratio based on the above hysteresis loop even in the "play"
range. Thus, based on this arrangement, if the steering angle  exceeds the tolerance range,
the localized gear ratio can be prevented from being continuously 0 when the steering
wheel is immediately turned in the restoring direction.

Abstract: An apparatus (21) is provided for recovering a reference clock generated by a master clock (22) in a sender (20). The sender (20) sends timing packets over a network (3). The apparatus comprises a controllable slave clock (27) and a control circuit (25, 26, 28) which determines the frequency drift between the master clock and the slave clock and controls the slave clock (27) so as to reduce the drift. The error is determined as a function of ( r  ×  m  ×  N ) -  C'     a   ( n  +  r  ×  m ), 
where
     
N is the number of cycles of the master clock between the sending of consecutive timing information items, C' (s) is the number of slave clock cycles between receipt of the (s-rm)th and sth timing information items from the network, m is an integer greater than 0, q is an integer greater than 1, and r is a non-negative integer representing the order of the drift determination.

Abstract: A method of the present invention separates lightweight grains from raw
grains. In a primary separation step, raw grains containing the lightweight grains
is whirled upward with primary air along the inner wall of the cylindrical section (1) for
allowing raw grains and part of lightweight grains to stay in a certain flow area by
frictional resistance with respect to the wall surface generated by whirl, and to
drop into the conical section (3) on the downside by their own weight. In a secondary
separation step, secondary air is blown toward the raw grains dropping into the
conical section (3) in the primary separation step to blow the contained lightweight
substances upward to the space in the cylindrical section (1). In a discharging step,
raw grains with the lightweight grains removed are taken out from the conical
section (3). A tertiary separation step for blowing the tertiary air may be added.

Title: Method and system for delayed allocation of resources
Inventor: MARKARYAN MARK
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2004-01-28
Abstract: The present invention allows a server to delay allocating resources to a client's request. When the client requests a feature that requires server resources, the server accepts and acknowledges the client's request, but the client is prohibited from using the requested feature until further notice from the server. For example, during an authorization process, the server allocates only the minimum resources required to maintain the session and to authorize the client. Thereafter, the server allocates the resources necessary to support the client's request only when the resources become available. Until then, the server maintains the communications session without supporting the request. Thus, the server shepherds its resources rather than committing them at the whim of a client. Also, a client need not repeat its request if the server cannot immediately satisfy it; instead, the server accepts the request and then later begins to support it when adequate resources become available.

Abstract: What is described is a lithographic method for fabricating three-dimensional structures on the micrometric and submicro-metric scale, including the operations of: 
- depositing a layer (L1) of a first resist (R1) on a substrate (S); 
- depositing a layer (L') of a second resist (R2) on the layer (L1) of the first resist (R1); 
- forming a pattern of the second resist (R2) by lithography; 
- depositing a further layer (L2) of the first resist (R1) on the previous layers; and 
- forming a pattern of the first resist (R1) by lithography. 
     The second resist (R2) is sensitive to exposure to charged particles or to electromagnetic radiation in a different way from the first (R1); in other words, it is transparent to the particles or to the electromagnetic radiation to which the first resist (R1) is sensitive, and therefore the processes of exposure and development of the two resists (R1, R2) are mutually incompatible to the extent that the exposure and development of one does not interfere with the exposure and development of the other.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display apparatus in which a plurality of areas in which response speeds are greatly different from each other coexist in a pixel, a gradation does not reach a desired one in several frames or a excessive brightness occurs, no matter what a degree the facilitation of gradation transition may be set. A first replacement process section replaces the image data of the desired target frame with a first gradation, when a gradation transition from a current frame to a desired target frame corresponds to the above gradation transition. A second replacement process section replaces the image data of the current frame with a second value. The first value is set to a value causing the pixel to respond at a fully high speed without the occurrence of the excessive brightness. Without avoiding the deterioration of the image, it is possible to drive a liquid crystal display apparatus, in which areas whose response speeds are different from each other coexist in the pixel, such as a liquid crystal display apparatus of vertically aligned mode and normally black mode.
