Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic apparatus in which in the case where a resume is instructed from the user, a status of FDD is checked, and when the FDD is in the state in which it can be shifted to the resume, the resume is executed, and when it is impossible to shift to the resume, an alarm is generated to the user so as not to shift to the resume. The shift to the resume status is detected every stage and a record is stored into a memory every completion of each stage. When each stage is completed, it is regarded that the information stored at this stage can be broken, so that the power supply to a device is stopped. In case of executing a resuming operation, information is written back for only the device which needs the resuming operation in accordance with the recorded content. Thus, even when the resume is in an incomplete state, the apparatus can be again resumed to the former operating status.

Abstract: An interconnect bracket which mechanically and electrically connects an auxiliary device to a main unit. Very few additional parts are required and the auxiliary device is user installable with minimal tools. The interconnect bracket provides the electrical connection by employing traces which run the length of the bracket. The interconnect bracket attaches to the bottom surface of the main unit and is configured to fit within receiving recess slots such that the bracket is substantially flush with the bottom surface of the main unit. As a result, no visible connectors or cables are necessary. The interconnect bracket is lightweight and contains guides which assist in the installation of the auxiliary device. The interconnect bracket provides a means of connection which enables the auxiliary device to separate from the main unit when subjected to forces such as would be experienced if the coupled units were dropped. This reduces the potential for damage to the components of the main unit and auxiliary device.

Abstract: A multiplexer for time slot data is described for time slots which are structured slot-by-slot on the basis of frames and/or multiframes. Multiplexers of this type are used, for example, for video codecs which exchange their data via ISDN Basic Rate Access channels. Since the bit rate at which video codecs exchange their data is higher than the bit rate at which data can be transmitted via a Basic Rate Access channel, at least two Basic Rate Access channels must be provided for the intended data exchange. The signals of these Basic Rate Access channels can be delayed differently en route to the receiver. The essential object of the described multiplexer is to compensate for this transit time difference for up to thirty Basic Rate Access channels. To achieve this object, the received data (1a) are allocated to the Basic Rate Access channels on a channel-by-channel basis and are recorded in an addressable main memory (3). Detection means (11, 13, 13A, 14, 15, 16) are intended to detect frames and multiframes among the stored data of each channel. If the frame or a multiframe is detected in the data of one of the channels, the addressing means (6) are set with the aid of control means (4, 5, 16) in such a way that, for example, the start of a multiframe receives a predefined write address. The data of all the channels are multiplexed by means of the read-out from the main memory (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mobile radio station for use in a mobile radio transmission system which comprises a plurality of base stations (BS) with corresponding service areas (SA) which together cover a geographical area through which mobile stations (M) can roam. Each base station is connected to a central station (CS) by means of a respective two-way communication link (CL). In order that it can be contacted without all the base stations having to put out a call, each mobile station registers in known manner with the base station in whose service area it is situated, and this is recorded by the control station. When it roams into a new service area this process is repeated. However, in order to preclude frequent re-registrations when the mobile station repeatedly crosses the boundary between two service areas, when it registers with a new base station and hence a new service area it retains its registration with at least one service area with which it is already registered, thereby creating its own customised enlarged registration area. Thus the transmission overhead created by the registration procedure is reduced.

Abstract: An ink jet apparatus has a piezoelectric ceramic arrangement including a plurality of grooves (12) filled with ink. The grooves are separated from one another by side walls (11), and the inside of the grooves are partially furnished with electrodes (13). The electrodes receive a driving voltage to selectively vary the inner volumes of the grooves (12) based on the piezoelectric thickness slip effect. The selectively varied inner volumes of the grooves cause the ink to jet out therefrom. In this structure, the height of the side walls (11) divided by the width thereof is at least 2 and at most 9. Using a low driving voltage, the apparatus boosts the ink pressure within the ink chambers (12) so as to keep the velocity of jetted ink droplets sufficiently high and the volume thereof sufficiently large to form characters and images onto a printing medium.

Abstract: A positive temperature coefficient thermistor is prepared from a sintered body of a ceramic material composition which has as a substrate BaTi0₃ with metallic oxide and has, in a predetermined voltage range, a voltage-current characteristic defined by the following equation:       Vx + Iy =        a     ̲             
     wherein  a  is a constant value, Vx is a voltage on an axis of abscissa and Iy is a current on an axis of ordinate in a cartesian coordinate, said voltage range extending from a predetermined value to a value at least twice as much as the predetermined value so that when a voltage in said voltage range is applied to the sintered body, the sintered body provides heat at a substantially constant value. Thus, when the present invention is used in countries or areas in which commercial voltages of 110 V and 220 V are used, almost certain temperature can be obtained without changing voltage by a transformer.

Abstract: A Video-RAM semiconductor memory device comprised of a RAM array having an address input for inputting row, column, and target addresses, and a serial access array having a serial output port. The Video-RAM has address/control logic which detects a stimulus such as a RAS clock from an external controller indicating a coarse timing location for a data transfer between the RAM array and the serial access array. The control logic then provides control signals, that are internally synchronized with a serial clock, and that occur during a period that a tap pointer is equal to a value one less than a programmable target value or an input target address. This causes a row in the RAM array corresponding to an input row address to be transferred between the RAM array and the serial access array.
