Abstract: An apparatus for generating a digital signal representing an analog signal comprising a reference array establishing reference values at hierarchically arranged reference nodes in response to a reference signal. The apparatus includes a first iteration comparing circuit comparing selected first reference values present at first nodes with the analog signal. The first reference values establish a plurality of ranges of reference values. The first comparing circuit generates a first output signal indicating a particular range in which the analog signal first compares with respect to a reference value in a predetermined relation. A logic circuit generates a control signal in response to the first output signal. A second comparing circuit effects second comparing of selected second reference values with the analog signal. The second reference values are present at selected nodes which are in intervals adjacent the first reference nodes and hierarchically segment those intervals. The second comparing circuit responds to the control signal to effect the second comparing and comprises a plurality of second comparators. Each second comparator receives the analog signal as a first input and receives hierarchically equal of the second reference values from the intervals as a plurality of available second inputs. One of the available second inputs is selected as the second input value to each second comparator in response to the control signal. The second comparing circuit generates a second output signal and the logic means responds to the first output and the second output to generate the digital signal output.

Abstract: A heating device such as an electric blanket or pad includes a substrate and a heating element (10) that heats the substrate. The heating element (10) has first and second elongate conductors (12,14) arranged coextensively with one another, at least one of them being a resistive heating conductor, and an insulator (16) that separates the conductors. A half-wave rectifier such as a diode (D1) is connected between an end (22) of the first conductor (12) and an end (24) of the second conductor (14). The first and second conductors (12,14), input terminals (18,20) for connection to an AC supply, and the diode (D1) are so interconnected that, during half-cycles of the AC supply of one polarity only, heating current from the supply will flow through a first path comprising the first conductor (12), the diode (D1) and the second conductor (14), with the heating current flowing in opposite directions in the first and second conductors, respectively. A fuse (F) and a thermally actuated circuit interruption device (TF) are connected in the first path. A resistor (R), which is thermally coupled to the thermally actuated circuit interruption device (TF), is connected in series with a second diode (D2) between one (20) of the input terminals (18, 20) and an end (28) of the second conductor (14) such that, in the event of a reduction in the impedance of the insulative means (16), current can flow from the supply during half-cycles of the AC supply of the opposite polarity through a second path comprising, the second diode (D2) and the reduced impedance. Current flow through this second path serves to actuate the thermally actuated circuit interruption device (TF). A transistor (T1) may be used to drive the resistor (R) in response to current flow through this second path.

Abstract: A diamond semiconductor device of the present invention comprises an n-type diamond layer to which an n-type dopant is doped at high concentration so that metal conduction dominates, a p-type diamond layer to which a p-type dopant is doped at high concentration so that metal conduction dominates, and a high resistance diamond layer formed between the n-type diamond layer and the p-type diamond layer. Here, the thickness and the doping concentration of the high resistance diamond layer are values at which semiconductor conduction dominates. Then, in a case that an applied voltage is forward bias, electrons are injected from the n-type region to the p-type region through the conduction band of the high resistance region, and holes are injected from the p-type region to the n-type region through the valance band of the high resistance region, so that a current flows. On the other hand, in a case that an applied voltage is reverse bias because substantially no dopant is doped to the high resistance diamond layer, carriers are not present, so that a large current does not flow. Therefore, semiconductor conduction dominates as carrier conduction in pn junction and the rectification can be obtained, so that with the control of carriers, good diode characteristics or transistor characteristics can be achieved.

Abstract: Airflow is used to substantially eliminate problems cause by excess liquid toner flow in developing a latent image on a photoconductor (226) surface (126, 326). Edge effects at each end of a squeegee roller (229) are prevented by concentrating an airstream at the nip (331) interface of the squeegee roller (229) with the photoconductor (226). Drip lines are prevented by providing a laminar airflow across the squeegee roller (229) interface with the photoconductor (226) to force excess toner away from the nip (331) interface before the excess liquid can pass through the nip (331) and cause a drip line.

Abstract: An armature disc 51 is attached to a resilient plastic spider 40 by angularly spaced rivets 60. To prevent the spider 40 from striking the disc 51 and creating a buzzing noise, spacer pads 71 are formed integrally with the spider 40 adjacent the rivets 60 and establish an axial gap 70 of substantial width between the disc 51 and the spider 40 along arcs located between the rivets 60. The heads 62 of the rivets 60 are located in countersunk holes 80 in the spider 40 and pull axially through the plastic of the spider 40 to release the armature disc 51 from the spider 40 if the spider 40 becomes excessively hot as a result of slippage of the coupling. A metal washer 85 on the hub 36 of the coupling prevents the hot disc 51, when released, from dropping onto and melting a central sleeve portion 41 of the spider 40.

Abstract: Système d'éclairage comprenant une source de rayonnement et un polariseur cholestérique à large bande. Ce polariseur comprend une couche de matière polymère présentant une disposition cholestérique, la matière étant disposée de sorte que l'axe de l'hélice moléculaire soit orienté transversalement à la couche. On obtient la largeur de bande du polariseur en augmentant le pas de l'hélice moléculaire d'une valeur minimale sur une première surface de la couche cholestérique à une valeur maximale sur la deuxième surface de la couche. Selon l'invention, le polariseur doit être placé dans le système d'éclairage de sorte que la deuxième surface de la couche cholestérique soit orientée vers la source de rayonnement. Grâce à cet agencement, la dépendance de la luminosité et de la couleur de l'angle de vue dans ce système d'éclairage est étonnamment faible. On améliore encore cette propriété par l'utilisation d'une plaque quart de lambda présentant une anisotropie négative dans l'indice de réfraction. L'invention se rapporte également à un polariseur linéaire destiné à être utilisé dans ce système d'éclairage et à un dispositif d'affichage pourvu de ce polariseur linéaire.
