Inventor: BOTHAM MICHAEL P
IPC: G01R31/3167
Filed: 1995-12-04
Abstract: Equipement de contrôle automatique comportant des générateurs de synchronisation programmables servant à générer des signaux numériques et des signaux analogiques. On peut programmer le générateur de synchronisation numérique afin qu'il génère des signaux de synchronisation avec une résolution plus fine que celle de l'horloge pilote du générateur de synchronisation. On obtient une résolution extrêmement fine par détermination du numérateur et du dénominateur d'une partie fractionnaire d'une période. On peut programmer le générateur de signaux analogiques de la même façon, afin d'obtenir une résolution de fréquence fine. Cette résolution fine permet de synchroniser le générateur de synchronisation numérique et le générateur de synchronisation analogique.

Abstract: The invention provides a laminated glass and a method of producing the same. This laminated glass includes first and second transparent glass plates and an interlayer film interposed therebetween. This interlayer film has functional ultra-fine particles which have a particle diameter of up to 0.2 µm and are dispersed therein. Due to the incorporation of the ultra-fine particles thereinto, the interlayer film is provided with various additional functions such as heat insulation, ultraviolet ray absorption and the maintenance of a sufficient radio transmittance. Therefore, the laminated glass becomes suitable as an architectural or automotive laminated glass.

Abstract: A field emission device is made by pre-activating ultra-fine diamond particles before applying them to the device substrate. This initial pre-activation increases manufacturing speed and reduces cost and reduces potential damage to the device substrate from exposure to high temperature hydrogen plasma. 
     A method for making an electron field emission device comprises the steps of: 
   providing particles comprising diamonds; 
   having said diamonds predominantly comprising diamonds having maximum dimensions in the range of 5-10,000 nm; 
   exposing said particles to a plasma-containing hydrogen at a temperature in excess of 300°C; 
   adhering said particles to a substrate having a conductive portion; and 
   disposing an electrode adjacent said diamond particles.

Abstract: A processor detects a function which includes no function call instruction and no update of the return address/calculation register from an assembler program. After the detection, the processor outputs a special return address to the end of the function detected, and executes the assembler program. The processor stores a return address not only on the stack but in the return address/calculation register. When the special return instruction has been fetched, the return address is moved from the return address/calculation register without accessing to the stack.

Abstract: Method for continuously casting metal strip of the kind in which molten metal is introduced into the nip between a pair of parallel casting rolls (16) via a metal delivery nozzle (19) disposed above the nip to create a casting pool (30) of molten metal supported on casting surfaces (16A) of the rolls immediately above the nip and the casting rolls (16) are rotated to deliver a solidified metal strip (20) downwardly from the nip. 
     The casting surfaces (16A) are smooth so as to have an Arithmetic Mean Roughness Value (R a ) of less than 5 microns and the casting pool contains material to form on each of the casting surfaces a thin layer interposed between the casting surface and the casting pool during metal solidification a major proportion of which layer is liquid during the metal solidification and the liquid of the layer has a wetting angle of less than 40° on the casting surface. This promotes wetting of the smooth casting surfaces and increases heat flux during metal solidification.

Abstract: The input pads DQ0 to DQ3 and the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 are connected to each other by means of the wires La or Lb. In the case where the memory cell array is of the × 4 bit pattern, the input pads DQ0 to DQ3 are connected to the input terminals of the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3, respectively, via the wires La, whereas in the case where the memory cell array is of the × 1 bit pattern, one of the input pads, that is, DQ0 is connected to each of the input terminals of the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 via the wires Lb. The structures from the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 to the memory cell arrays are the same and common to the × 4 bit pattern and the × 1 bit pattern, and therefore an increase in the driving performance of the transistors in the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 can be suppressed.

Abstract: A temperature controlling method and apparatus for a refrigerator are provided, in which a temperature-equilibrating position into which cool air is to be discharged is calculated based on a fuzzy model and learning of a neural network, using the change in temperatures measured by only a small number of temperature sensors at a predetermined number of portions within a refrigeration compartment, and then the rotation velocity of a ventilation fan and a stop angle of a rotary blade are controlled according to the calculated temperature-equilibrating position. As a result, the cool air is appropriately discharged into each portion according to the distance between the rotary blade and a target position, so that the optimal temperature equilibrium is obtained in the refrigeration compartment.
