Abstract: Object: To provide a can forming apparatus which is improved to remarkably suppress generation of noise and to avoid generation of defects such as dents and scratches on a can blank, thus effecting smooth deep drawing and ironing on the can blank without fail. 
Construction: The can forming apparatus has a pair of feed guides 51, 52 which are disposed on opposite sides of a path of feed of the can blank such as to partly project into the path and so as to temporarily hold a downwardly fed can blank C and to feed it again downward. The feed guides are provided with outer peripheral recesses which cooperate with each other in embracing the can blank therebetween and feeding it downward, and protrusions continuous from the recesses and adapted to press the can blank downward after the can blank is released from the recesses. A pair of leaf springs 60, 61 or a pair of rollers 55, 56 are disposed beneath the feed guides 51, 52 and urged to project into the path of feed so as to hold the can blank C before the can blank C is pressed downward by the protrusions after it is fed downward from the recesses.

Abstract: A component, illustrated as a friction pad assembly for a disc brake, has a backing plate (2A) carrying a lining of friction material (2B) on one side thereof. The assembly also includes a spring (12) and the spring and pad assembly provide opposed surfaces between which a pad support means (6) is received when the pad assembly is installed in the brake. With the pad support so received, the spring is stressed against an abutment (14) on the pad assembly to provide a radially outward force on the assembly. The spring is retained in a normally inseparable manner on the assembly prior to installation in the brake by co-action with the abutment (14) and a surface of the assembly. The invention may be applied to other components, such as a force distribution member or spreader.

Abstract: A three-phase flat-top waveform generator (10) which may be utilized in a pulse-width modulator. Transfer function means receive a three-phase input signal (e a , e b , e c ) and produce therefrom a zero sequence signal (e z ). Under steady-state and balanced conditions, the zero sequence signal will generally have a fundamental frequency three times the frequency of the input signal. Summing means (33, 34, 35) add the zero sequence signal to each phase of the input signal to produce the desired flat-top signal.

Abstract: Apparatus for routing optical fiber comprises an elongated manipulator (20, FIG. 2) having a vertical axis which can be controlled to move in an X-Y plane and in the ϑ direction around its vertical axis. A rotatable wheel (21) is mounted on a free end of the manipulator, and a reel (19) containing optical fiber (17) is mounted on one side of the manipulator. The fiber is threaded over a peripheral portion of the wheel and the wheel presses the fiber against an adhesive-coated surface of a substrate (18) to cause it to adhere to the coated surface. The manipulator is then moved in a direction parallel to the flat surface at an appropriate speed and direction to cause the wheel to rotate and to exert tension on the optical fiber. The tension causes additional optical fiber to unwind from the reel and to be fed to the wheel for adherence to the coated surface, thereby to form a continuous optical fiber portion extending along, and adhered to, the coated surface.

Abstract: Texture mapping is performed on polygons at the same speed as a polygon drafting process without a texture cache, thereby preventing complexity and an increase in cost. An image memory (8) is constituted in a double-buffer structure, and an address line, a data line and a memory control line are individually connected to each buffer. One of the two buffers is used for texture data, and the other for a drawing result. The texture data is one-dimensional, and the size thereof is less than a maximum value of a column address. The other buffer is an imaginary double buffer with two buffers, one of the buffers being used for reading out image data from a SAM port, the other being used for writing image data produced from polygons. Read/write switching is effected in a vertical flyback period. In the read-out buffer, just after row-directional read-out, the associated row is cleared by the flash write function of a multiport DRAM in a horizontal flyback period, and the next read-out address is output. In synchronism with this, texture data is refreshed.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for improving output image quality and reducing processing time in digital halftoning systems. The direction of processing each scan line of a source image is selected with blue noise, rather than the traditional raster scan sequence, to reduce directional and start-up anomalies. Source image pixel gray values are adjusted by means of imposed matrices, prior to error diffusion, in order to minimize distracting patterns and other anomalies in the output image. Error diffusion threshold values are modulated with blue noise, and the average threshold value reduced to reduce start-up delay. Finally, error terms in the error diffusion process are diffused according to a new three-weight filter. The three-weight filter substantially reduces error diffusion processing time, without sacrificing output image quality when used in combination with the modulated error diffusion threshold values.

Abstract: A measurement system for measuring the time for a signal to pass between two transducers TDR1,2 to allow fluid speed or flow to be determined in a gas meter for example. Each transducer can transmit or receive signals. The system is controlled by a microcontroller 31 and a signal with a phase change acts as a marker which is transmitted from transmitter 21 via matching stage 22,23 from one transducer and is received by the other. On receipt via the matching stage and amplifier 24 it is sampled by capacitor array 25 and detected in detector 29. Amplitude information from array 25 is made available to the microcontroller to compute time of signal travel and hence flow rates.

Abstract: In a horizontal output circuit having a east and west pincushion distortion correcting function modulating the amplitude of a horizontal deflecting current to be parabolic in a vertical period by using a pulse width variable pulse signal, a voltage produced in a capacitor C1 provided between a series circuit of a horizontal deflecting coil Dy and S correcting capacitor Cs connected in parallel to a horizontal output transistor Q3 and a reference potential point GND is modulated by using a pulse signal from a pulse width modulating IC 10 and is fed to a smooth circuit comprising a coil L2 and capacitor C2 provided in parallel with the capacitor C1. A negative power source is obtained by this smooth circuit and is fed to a power source terminal 13 of the pulse width modulating IC 10. That is to say, a negative voltage -V1ave produced in the capacitor C2 is integrated, the voltage is stored in said capacitor C2 and this average voltage -V1ave is fed as a negative power source to the power source terminal 13 of the pulse modulating IC 10 in the formation. Thereby, a power source which can discharge and has little power loss can be formed of a small number of component parts.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for
connecting terminals to a host computer via communication
lines in a computer network and a host computer therefor,
which simplifies the operation of confirming receipt of mail,
reduces the network traffic by not executing the log-in
process, and does not count the on-line service charge
for the mail receipt confirmation when no mail has
been received. 
     The method comprises the steps of: inputting an
identification number and a password of a user of the
host computer from one of the terminals to the host
computer (S21); determining whether or not the password
is the one for confirming that information addressed to
the user has been stored in the host computer (S22);
determining whether or not the information has been
stored in the host computer when it is determined that
the password is input for the confirmation (S23); and
enabling the user to use the host computer when it is
determined that the information has been stored in the
host computer (S24). In this way login need not be
carried out if no mail is present.
