Abstract:
A system and method of controlling an internal combustion engine are provided. The method may include closing said intake valve at a timing in a first range, which is before a maximum charge closing timing with which an amount of air inducted into said cylinder from said air intake passage would be maximized at a given engine speed, during a cylinder cycle when a desired amount of air to be inducted into said cylinder is less than or equal to a predetermined air amount at the given engine speed. The method may further include closing said intake valve at a timing in a second range, which is after said maximum charge closing timing and separated from said first range during a cylinder cycle, when a desired amount of air to be inducted into said cylinder is greater than said predetermined air amount at the given engine speed.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor resistor includes forming a well region in a semiconductor substrate, with the well region serving as a resistive region, forming a pair of contact regions spaced apart from each other in the well region, and forming a diffusion region in an intermediate portion between the pair of contact regions on a surface of the well region. The diffusion region is configured to adjust resistance and temperature dependence of the semiconductor resistor.
Abstract:
To provide a multivendor-compatible printed board. On one face of an IVH (Interstitial Via Hole) board, wiring is provided for mounting a first semiconductor device, and on the other face, wiring is provided for mounting a second semiconductor device having pin positions and pin counts different from the first semiconductor. By the IVH board according to the present invention, one face can be used for mounting the first semiconductor device, and the other face can be used for mounting the second semiconductor device. Thus, even when the semiconductor device mounted on the IVH board of the present invention is changed, it becomes possible to use the identical board.

Abstract:
A power correction value generating unit determines a power correction value for minimizing an error, from a reference output power value of a carrier multiplexed signal, generating due to peak power suppression under a carrier setting based on the carrier setting relating to either one or both of the number of carrier signals and frequency arrangement, and peak suppression setting. An output power error correcting unit corrects a signal gain before or after the carrier signals are multiplexed, using the power correction value obtained by the power correction value generating unit. In an apparatus performing peak suppression according to an input limitation power of the power amplifier, it is possible to always obtain a desirable transmission (output) power even when the number of carriers or carrier frequency arrangement varies.

A liquid crystal driving signal generating apparatus comprises a PWM signal generator, a low pass filter for limiting a frequency band of a PWM signal outputted from the PWM signal generator, a liquid crystal panel connected to an output of the low pass filter, and a control means for controlling the PWM signal generator. The control means controls the PWM signal generator such that the PWM signal generator generates a PWM signal with a duty ratio corresponding to a refractive index to be set in the liquid crystal panel.
Abstract:
A microwave heating oven has a seal located in the path formed by a gap between the oven body and the oven door for preventing microwave leakage. The seal may comprise several seals, and includes a microwave absorber as one of the seals. The microwave absorber consists of a mixture of a powder of magnetic material and an organic high molecular weight compound. The length of the microwave absorber in the direction of propagation of microwave in the path of microwave leakage is an integral multiple of about 1/2.lambda., wherein .lambda. is a wavelength of the microwave in the microwave absorber. Absorption is improved by setting the absorber in a recess in the wall or door of the oven, or by surrounding the absorber by a metal layer except on the surface thereof parallel to the direction of propagation and facing the gap.

A vacuum suction system comprises a work conveyor table 2 having work receiving openings 5, and a table base 3 having vacuum suction channels 7 which communicate with the work receiving openings 5 of the conveyor table 2. The work receiving openings 5 and the vacuum suction channels 7 communicate with a vacuum generation source 17 via a vacuum pipe 9. A negative pressure sensor 10 is disposed on the vacuum pipe 9. Based on a signal from the negative pressure sensor 10, a compressed air generation source 20 supplies a compressed air to the vacuum pipe 9 and thereby stabilizes the vacuum level in the vacuum pipe 9.
