Inventor: YOSHIDA KOHEI
IPC: F01N3/18
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: In an exhaust emission control apparatus having an NOx catalyst (9)
disposed in an exhaust passage (8) of an internal combustion engine, the present
invention is intended to suppress deterioration in exhaust emissions when the
temperature of the NOx catalyst is raised. In case where the temperature of
the NOx catalyst (9) need be raised, an amount of nitrogen oxides occluded in the
NOx catalyst is decreased in advance to the raising of the temperature of the
NOx catalyst, whereby the amount of nitrogen oxides to be discharged from
the NOx catalyst upon raising the temperature of the NOx catalyst can be
decreased.

Abstract: A simple admission control mechanism for IP based networks is provided.
The decision on whether a new flow is accepted is based on the link load
information on the paths from the source to destination. The new flow is accepted
when the link load is less than a threshold. When at least one of the links on all of
the available paths is larger than the acceptable threshold, access is denied to the
flow. More than one threshold level may be used. Under the multiple threshold
scenario, the traffic may be divided into different classes. The admission control
mechanism helps to ensure a network that is not heavily congested.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic sample collector for liquids which are discharged from a chromatographic column, a dialysis apparatus, or a reaction container, for example, and are consecutively collected at a given volume division, a method for collecting samples of a liquid in a predefined chronological sequence, and uses of the inventive sample collector. The volume is divided by assigning one or several gas-permeable liquid barriers (4, 5) to each collection container (3). The sample collector can be produced as one piece which is for single use and is made of polypropylene, Teflon, or other suitable materials. The inventive sample collector has the advantage that it requires no source of energy and can be autoclaved and miniaturized, among other things. The design of the inventive sample collector makes it possible to keep the content of the collection containers free from oxygen or immediately freeze the liquid flowing into the collection containers.

Abstract: A defibrillation circuit (30, 40) generates a defibrillation pulse (Tp, Th) and includes a patient?parameter compensator (34, 42) that causes the pulse (Tp, Th) to have a predetermined characteristic regardless of the value of a patient parameter (Rp). For example, the circuit (30, 40) can generate defibrillation pulses (Tp, Th) that have a desired shape, decay rate, voltage level, current level, and/or energy level regardless of the patient impedance (Rp). Consequently, a defibrillator (50) that includes the circuit (30, 40) is likely to be more effective than prior defibrillators in restoring normal heart rhythms to patients having an atypical value for a parameter such as impedance (Rp, Th).
