Abstract: The present invention is a gauge and method for characterizing the surface venting of rollers. The gauge includes a smooth pliable saddle with a pick-up head positioned at a mid-point of the saddle. The pick-up head includes an opening which faces the outer surface of a roller when the saddle is draped over the roller. The roller's venting characteristics are determined by applying a vacuum to the pick-up head and measuring the equilibrium flow rate between the saddle and the outer surface of the roller.

Abstract: According to an illustrative example, a chair column (10) comprises a stand tube (11). A gas spring (12) is inserted in the stand tube (11) with the piston rod (13) thereof directed downwardly toward an abutment wall (11 b) of the stand tube (11). The lower end of the piston rod (13) is connected to the abutment wall (11 b) and is rotatably supported on the abutment wall by a ball bearing (18). The ball bearing (18) comprises two bearing discs and a plurality of balls therebetween. The bearing discs and the balls are pre-assembled by a cage. The bearing (18) can be pre-assembled before it is combined with the lower end (16) of the piston rod (13) and is mounted thereafter on the lower end of the piston rod (13).

Abstract: Heat exchanger (30) that are also outer turns of secondary windings (15) of a transformer for use in a charge port (11) of battery charging apparatus (10). The outer turns may have any shape or thickness, may be air or liquid cooled, or may be vapor changers (heat pipes). Other turns of the secondary windings (15) cannot be used in this manner because they cause excessive energy dissipation, due to proximity losses. When used to a liquid cooled turn, the present invention comprises porting liquid coolant from a cooling system (31) including a pump (32), a compact heat exchanger (33), and a fan (34) through the outer windings. Heat dissipation from the secondary windings (15) of the transformer is efficiently removed by providing an internal coolant flow passage or passages formed or integrated at the center of the outer windings comprising the heat exchangers (30). The internal passages may be configured in several ways. One approach is to construct thin, flat, self-contained flexible coolant bladders (30) made of metal, such as copper. When applied to an air cooled turn, the present invention directs air from the fan (34) through finned heat exchangers (30). The of the inner turns (15a) secondary windings are bonded directly to the finned heat exchanger turn in order to provide good thermal contact and a large heat transfer area.

Abstract: A method of incorporating an auxiliary signal with an input video signal includes the step of encoding the input video signal to generate a variable bit rate encoded signal having a selected level of distortion. The video signal is applied to a buffer. The level of distortion is selected as a function of the fullness of the buffer. The video signal is read from the buffer and applied to a transmission channel at a predetermined video output rate. Portions of an auxiliary signal are applied to the channel at times when the buffer is in an underflow condition. The selected level of distortion has a flow which corresponds to a predetermined, non-zero level of perceptual distortion in the video signal.

Abstract: Variations in the waveform of high-frequency signals amplified by a field-effect transistor (FET) in a power amplification circuit due to changes in temperature are reduced. A FET having an n-type active layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode is formed on a (1 0 0)-crystal plane of a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. The FET is protected by a passivation film. The angle θ, formed between the longitudinal axial direction of the gate electrode and the 〈0 -1 -1〉-direction, is set at an angle of from 0° to 90° corresponding to the impurity concentration of the n-type active layer, in order that the temperature coefficient of the FET threshold voltage becomes substantially equal to the temperature coefficient of the gate bias voltage applied from a power supply to the gate electrode. If the angle θ is set at 45°, then the temperature coefficient of the FET threshold voltage becomes zero.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a caption moving device for realizing a high quality image expansion process so as to move only captions. 
     A Y/C separating 2 generates a luminance signal corresponding to an input image signal. A rate of change detecting part 3 detects a rate of change of the luminance signal and generates a rate of change signal corresponding to the rate of change. A rate of change judging part 5 compares a level of the rate of change signal with a level of a reference signal inputted separately. When the rate of change signal level exceeds the reference level, a control signal which represents valid is generated. A gate 7 outputs the luminance signal from the Y/C separating part 2 which is stored in a first memory 4 for a certain period only if the valid control signal is inputted thereto. A caption judging part 8 compares the luminance signal from the gate 7 with a reference level. When the luminance signal exceeds the reference level, a caption signal which represents valid is generated. This caption signal is written into and read from a second memory under the control of a control signal from a control signal generating part 10.

Abstract: A method for consistently interpreting events generated by a mobile computer in response to a screen display, where events are transmitted to an application server through an unreliable communication channel is disclosed. In operation, an epoch number is associated with screen drawing information created by the application server. Screen drawing information is transmitted from the application server to the mobile computer for generation of a screen display, and an event is generated in the mobile computer in response to the screen display. A combination of the event in response to the screen display and the epoch number associated with the screen display is transmitted to the application server for processing, and the epoch number received by the application server is compared to the epoch number last transmitted to the mobile computer. To ensure consistent operation of the graphical user interface on the mobile computer, the application server only processes those events having an epoch number that matches the last epoch number transmitted. Duplicate events are ignored, and events received out of order are buffered and sequentially processed in the correct order.

Abstract: An aluminum sputtering process, particularly useful for filling vias and contacts of high aspect ratios formed through a dielectric layer and also useful for forming interconnects that are highly resistant to electromigration. A liner or barrier layer (150) is first deposited by a high-density plasma (HDP) physical vapor deposition (PVD, also called sputtering) process, such as is done with an inductively coupled plasma. If a contact (140) is connected at its bottom to a silicon element (144), the first sublayer (160) of the liner layer is a Ti layer, which is silicided to the silicon substrate. The second sublayer (162) comprises TiN, which not only acts as a barrier against the migration of undesirable components into the underlying silicon but also when deposited with an HDP process and biased wafer forms a dense, smooth crystal structure. The third sublayer (164) comprises Ti and preferably is graded from TiN to Ti. Over the liner layer, an aluminum layer (156) is deposited in a standard, non-HDP process. The liner layer allows the hottest part of the aluminum deposition to be performed at a relatively low temperature between 320 and 500°C, preferably between 350 and 420°C, while still filling narrow plug holes, and the TiN does not need to be annealed to form an effective barrier against diffusion into the silicon. A horizontal interconnect formed by the inventive process is resistant to electromigration.
