Abstract: A switched power supply (40) has a pulse width modulator to
adjust a pulse width that controls the output voltage (104). The
width modulator includes a comparator (66) that compares a
signal (104) indicating a value of the power supply to a ramp
wave (69). An output of the comparator (66) is a signal
containing a time width proportional to the output of the power
supply. Additionally, a first comparator (90) compares the
output voltage (42) to a first reference voltage (94). When the
output voltage (42) exceeds the first reference voltage (94),
the first comparator (90) changes state. A second comparator
(88) compares the output voltage (42) to a second reference
voltage (92). When the second reference voltage (92) exceeds the
output voltage (42), the second comparator (88) changes state.
The pulses are width modulated to first or second width limits
in response to changes of output states of the first and second
comparators.

further includes a first spring (4) biasing the plunger (3) in a protruding direction, and a second
spring (73) biasing the slider (72) such that the slider moves along the inclined slide surface of the
slider housing portion. A "wedge-effect" prevents the plunger (3) from moving backwards.

Abstract: The invention provides a production process of a gas turbine capable of being applied to various cycles. A principal part of a gas turbine is set in advance based on roughly set conditions, and the number of stages of a compressor and the number of stages of a turbine, which can provide conditions suitable for a desired cycle, are set based on the set principal part. The compressor and the turbine each having the set number of stages and included in the principal part are combined with each other to construct the gas turbine. When the set number of stages of the compressor or the turbine differs among a plurality of desired cycles, a substantially disk-shaped member having an outer periphery, which forms an inner peripheral wall of a substantially annular flow passage of the compressor or the turbine, is assembled into the cycle having a smaller number of stages so that the bearing-to-bearing distance is kept constant in the gas turbine operated in the plurality of desired cycles.

Abstract: A system for testing a number of integrated circuit (IC) devices under test (DUTs) having
interface circuitry coupled to a single or multi-channel tester for receiving data values from
the tester and providing error information concerning the DUTs. The interface circuitry
forwards data values (received from the tester over a single channel) to a number of DUTs in
parallel. The circuitry performs comparisons using data values read from the DUTs, and in
response generates error values indicative of the comparison. The error values may then be
returned to the tester over the same or a different channel.

Abstract: In a power transmission system in a vehicle including a continuously variable gear
path and a multi-stage gear path, a difference between gear ratios at the start of forward
travel and at the start of backward travel is minimized, while using a single-pinion type
planetary gear mechanism. The continuously variable gear path includes a
forward/backward travel switching mechanism comprising a single-pinion type planetary
gear mechanism, and a belt-type continuously variable transmission. A multi-stage gear
path comprising gears is set at a gear ratio closer to a LOW side from that of the belt-type
continuously variable transmission. A difference between the gear ratios in the multi-stage
gear path and the continuously variable gear path can be minimized by using the
multi-stage gear path at the start of forward travel of a vehicle and using the continuously
variable gear path at the start of backward travel of the vehicle. Thus, when the forward
traveling and the backward traveling are switched over from one to another, it is
unnecessary to suddenly change the gear ratio of the belt-type continuously variable
transmission, which can contribute to an improvement in durability of belt-type
continuously variable transmission.

Abstract: A dye transfer printer uses a dye donor web that is capable of
developing a crease-causing wave-like or ripple distortion across the donor web
when the donor web is subjected to a longitudinal tension as it is advanced from a
print head, over a web guide, and onto a web take-up spool in the printer. The
web guide is positioned to extend across the donor web and is adapted to be
bowed to effect a curvature across the donor web in proportion to the longitudinal
web tension in order to urge the donor web to spread substantially widthwise to
reduce the likelihood of the wave-like or ripple distortion developing across the
donor web. If the wave-like or ripple distortion is prevented from developing in a
dye transfer area being used, it is unlikely that any creases will be created in the
next unused transfer area. Thus, no line artifacts will be printed on a dye receiver
during dye transfer in the printer.

Abstract: A variable beam divergence FSO optical transmitter is described, as well as a method
for altering the transmission power being radiated in a telescope for laser on air telecommunications
systems. The method calls for the transmission of a very wide angle
of the laser beam, in any case sufficient to ensure the quality of the link, when the
level of atmospheric attenuation is at a minimum (good visibility conditions) and for a
reduction of the beam, in a linear way, in order to increase the density of the power
transmitted when visibility becomes poor (increase in atmospheric attenuation due to
mist or fog). To increase or decrease the divergence of the beam, the distance between
the source of light and the lens is altered in a suitable manner. After evaluating the extent
of the variation due to atmospheric attenuation, arrangements are made to alter to
a suitable extent the angle of the laser beam that is radiated.
