Abstract: A laser scanner control circuit which is used for an apparatus for scanning onto a photo sensitive material by a laser beam and forming an image thereon is constructed as a monolithic driver IC onto a single chip. A reset circuit is provided for a sample-hold circuit so as to minimize the laser power when the image forming apparatus is in a standby mode. A circuit to detect an abnormality of the laser power is further provided. Due to this, the safety of the laser power control of the sample-hold circuit is improved. The operation of the sample-hold circuit can be started at a time point when the laser emitting operation is stable.

Abstract: Variable array thinning is described to achieve efficient radar pulse shaping for advanced radar waveforms such as pulse burst or monopulse doppler. At the beginning of the pulse only a few elements (22), spread out over the array (20), are turned on. The effective amplitude can be controlled with precision because each element (22) is either off or at saturation. High efficiency is maintained because the off-state of each element (22) is long enough so that prime power is not consumed.

Abstract: This invention is intended to enable initial ends to be opened irrespective of the configurations of Markov models and without entailing a large increase in amount of processing in Markov model aided voice recognition. For word models dependent on input length, matching paths are started in sequence within the initial end open ranges of sequences of input labels, and the initial likelihood values of the matching paths to be started are set at the greatest median likelihood value of other paths at the start. Matching is carried out in synchronization with input labels, and paths are disbranched in label units by applying beam search techniques to reduce amount of computation. For word models dependent on word model length, matching paths are started in sequence in each state within the initial end open range of each word model, and the initial likelihood values of the matching paths to be started are set at the greatest median likelihood value of other paths at the start. Matching is carried out in synchronization with states, and paths are disbranched in state units by applying beam searching techniques to reduce amount of computation.

Abstract: The (X,Y) positions of the nodes 31A - 31C, 32A - 32C in a circuit 20 containing boundary scan components 22, 24 and non-boundary-scan components 26, 28 are stored in a computer 14. The computer 14 selects a set 32A - 32C of non-boundary scan nodes within a radius R of a selected boundary-scan node 31A, R being the length of solder bridges in the circuit. A logic 0 voltage is applied to the set 32A - 32C and a boundary-scan test is performed. If the boundary-scan test fails, a fault is declared in the circuit 20 between the set 32A - 32C and the selected boundary-scan node 31A. A logic 1 voltage is applied to one 32A of the nodes in the set 32A - 32C, and the test repeated. If the test returns different results, the fault is declared between that one node 32A and the selected boundary-scan node 31A.

Abstract: Light emitted from a semiconductor light emitting element (11A) in a light source unit (11) is provided to an optical splitter/coupler (14), from which it is provided as clockwise and counterclockwise light beams (LB1, LB2) to both ends of an optical fiber coil (16), respectively. An optical phase modulator (17) is interposed between one end of the optical fiber coil and the optical splitter/coupler. The both light beams having propagated through the optical fiber coil interfere with each other in the optical splitter/coupler. The resulting interference light is applied to a front light emitting end face of the semiconductor light emitting element and is emitted from its rear light emitting end face, together with a backward light beam (LB2), thereafter being received by a light receiving element (11C). A DC component of the output from the light receiving element is input into a quantity-of-light stabilizer (11D) to stabilize the power of light that is emitted from the light emitting element. A high-frequency component of the output from the light receiving element is synchronously detected by a synchronous detector (21).

Abstract: The dipped-beam headlamp has a reflector (10) which is subdivided into an upper part (19) and a lower part (20) which touch one another in an axial plane (17) inclined at an angle of  alpha /2 to the horizontal. The transition between the two reflector parts (19, 20) is continuous in the second order. The two reflector parts (19, 20) have reflection surfaces in the form of general paraboloids, the latter containing identical parabolas in the tangent plane (17), but containing different parabolas in all the other axial sections. The result in sections through the reflector perpendicular to the optical axis (14) is ellipse-like curves of intersection (23) which have over their circumference a variable eccentricity with respect to the optical axis (14) of the reflector (10). In this case, the eccentricity in the region of the tangent plane (17) is approximately zero, and increases up to the axial plane (22) perpendicular to the tangent plane (17). This design of the reflector (10) reflects the light while forming a light/dark boundary having a section inclined at an angle of  alpha . <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-chamber waste-disposal container with an ejector piston which can be displaced axially, separates the intake chamber with an openable cover from the delivery chamber, and is formed by a sleeve which is guided on the container wall, the internal diameter of which is closed by means of a shut-off plate and which exhibits guiding and sealing means interacting with the inner side of the container wall, said container wall being provided with inwardly directed stops for stopping the moved ejector piston. In order to develop said two-chamber waste-disposal container such that the ejector piston stops reliably and the kinetic energy, which is to be converted, is absorbed without damage to the container wall, the intention being for said ejector piston to reach as closely as possible to the end of the intake chamber, the invention provides that the sleeve (6) of the ejector piston (5) has a pre-corrugated compression ring (12), the stops (9), which are arranged on the border of the receiving container (3) and interact with the compression ring (12), being arranged preferably above the base region of the receiving container (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage-bag container, to an assembly unit therefor and to the manufacture thereof. In this case, a flexible storage-bag container is inserted into a standardised commercially available external container for pressure cans. The flexible material of the internal, collapsible bag is welded directly on to the outer wall of an immersion tube. The seams are located at the point where the immersion tube is connected to the valve body. This point is a constituent of the valve body and has at the lower end an annularly outwardly projecting shoulder over which one end of the immersion tube can be fitted. The point located directly above the shoulder is not welded to the collapsible bag. It is ensured, on the one hand, by the arrangement of the seams and, on the other hand, by the connection of the immersion tube to the valve body that the collapsible bag cannot become detached from the immersion tube. The adherence of the tube to the valve body by means of friction forces prevents the tube from slipping off the valve body while the bag is being filled and in the drop test during the quality control. The main advantages of this invention are greater freedom in design, low costs and a simpler manner of manufacture, above all because no special connection pieces, container components or epoxy resins are required. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Water-absorbent resins which are prepared by mixing polysaccharides with amino acids (amino acids and/or polymers of amino acids) and heating the mixture so as to cause a crosslinking reaction therein. Each of the water-absorbent resins has a water-absorbing ratio of not less than 10 g/g with respect to physiologic saline as well as having a rate of biodegradability of not less than 10 %. Moreover, its water-absorbing ratio under pressure is not less than 10 ml/g with respect to physiologic saline. The water-absorbing ratio under pressure is measured by using a measuring device that is constituted of a weighing machine, a container, an air-intake pipe, a conduit, a glass filter, and a measuring section. The water-absorbent resins are superior in both water-absorbing capacity and biodegradability, and are capable of maintain their water-absorbing capacity even under pressure.
