Abstract: It is known to use proboscises in clinical analyzers to aspirate and dispense liquid at a dispensing station. These proboscises need positional control to prevent vertical overtravel when picking up disposable tips prior to the aspirating and dispensing steps. This is normally achieved using a sensor arrangement which needs to be re-calibrated every time a part of the proboscis is replaced or there is a variation in the distance over which the proboscis needs to travel for tip pickup. Described herein is a proboscis and method of use which automatically detects whether or not a disposable tip (130) has been properly picked up. The proboscis features a probe (110) supported on a base (150) movable within a driven housing (112), a sensing flag (114) with multiple signalIng stations (160, 160') being fixed to the base (150). These allow the sensor (116, 162) cooperating with the flag (114) to be fixed to the frame (122) of an analyzer using this proboscis, rather than to be adjustably attached, so that no adjustment is required for re-calibration to account for any change in position of the sensor (116, 162).

Abstract: A method for handling data in a plurality of data storage disks (27) having user data sectors and corresponding parity sectors, the method being used when the disks are being operated in a non-degraded or a degraded mode wherein a non-volatile RAM (28) is used in an array control processor (25) which controls the operation of such disks. When new data is to be written into the array, the non-volatile RAM stores information identifying the array, the starting sector into which data is to be written and the number of sectors to be used for writing the new data so that parity and data entries in corresponding sectors can be matched when a power failure occurs. Further, when opening a new array, the data and parity entries in corresponding sectors can be matched and verified, the operation for such matching being peformed in between other operations that are being performed by the control processors (i.e., in the "background" thereof).

Abstract: A digital modulator includes an integrator and a phase modulator. In the integrator, an input signal is supplied to an adder (112) and is added to output data of a register (116) positioned at a later stage in the integrator. Added data provided from the adder (112) is compared with a predetermined value and is supplied to a first subtracter (113) and a first selector (115). The first subtracter (113) subtracts the predetermined value from the added data and supplies difference data to the first selector (115). The first selector (115) selects the added data to supply it to the register (116) when the added data is less than the predetermined value, and selects the difference data when the added data is not less than the predetermined value. The register (116) outputs the added data or the difference data at the timing of a clock signal. In the phase modulator, the output data of the register is supplied to a second subtracter (212) and is subtracted from a reference value equal to half the value of the above predetermined value. The second subtracter (212) provides the difference data and supplies borrow data to a second selector (217). An absolute-value of the difference data is supplied to a memory (214) as read address data, and the memory (214) provides half-cycle data of a sine function. In accordance with the borrow data, the second selector (217) selectively outputs one of the half-cycle data and the inverted half-cycle data generated by a negative or inverting amplifier (216).

Abstract: In the case of a microprocessor, a register is provided as an additional special function register for expanding the address range of the program counter, which register actually comprises two individual registers connected in series. One register supplies the most-significant address bits via an AND gate and is also coupled to the internal data bus. The register contents are automatically altered when the program counter passes through the end position or start position. In the case of program jumps, the previous contents of the register are likewise stored in the stack, for which only a few instructions from the normal instruction set are additionally necessary. In the case of an interrupt, the AND gate is inhibited, as a result of which the first segment of the program memory with the interrupt service routines is automatically addressed. In this way, linear expansion of the program address range is provided without impairing compatibility. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to make good self-repair on which little secondary effect is exerted by calculating a manipulated variable of a parameter at the time of the repair by a functional amount in an image forming apparatus having a self-repair function. When a fault occurs, control-type repair for operating a physical parameter is first made. In this repair, the physical parameter to be operated is searched for (n3). If the physical parameter to be operated is determined, a manipulated variable of the physical parameter is then calculated by a functional amount (n4). The manipulated variable of the parameter by the functional amount is determined by adjusting the degree to which a plurality of functions are developed. Therefore, a manipulated variable in which the development of the functions is most preferable as the entire apparatus is determined. If the fault cannot be repaired by the control type repair, functional redundancy type repair is made (n6, n7, n8, n9). In the functional redundancy type repair, priorities to repair candidates are determined by the functional amount.
