Abstract: A semiconductor memory device, which performs
refreshing for data retention, provided with a power down
mode that stops refreshing. The device includes a request
generation circuit (19), which generates a refresh request
signal (req) with an oscillation signal generated by an
oscillation circuit. The oscillation circuit stops
generation of the oscillation signal in response to a power
down mode entry signal (NAPe). This reduces the current
consumption of the semiconductor memory device.

Abstract: A vision training device includes a fixed frame positionable in front of a wearer's
face. The fixed frame defines two windows corresponding in position to the eyes of
the wearer, through which light passes. An optic system includes a prism lens,
which may have fixed power or variable power by changing shapes thereof. The
prism lens is mounted to the fixed frame and is movable between first and second
positions, wherein in the first position, light is allowed to pass in a first state with
which the eyes are adducted, and in the second position, light is allowed to pass in a
second state with which the eyes are abducted. A transmission system is coupled to
and selectively drives the prism lens between the first and second positions. Thus,
by repeatedly and cyclically moving the prism lens between the first and second
positions, the eyes are forced to change between adduction and abduction thereby
realizing training of vision.

Abstract: According to a method for manufacturing means for making embossed decoration patterns on ceramic tiles, a die (M), defining a predetermined decoration pattern, is machined on a plate (3) of gummy material, by computer controlled laser. Then, the plate (3) is removably mounted on a punch (40) of a press (4) and a series of sample tiles (1) is press-died. In case of a satisfying result, the production is started by the same punch (40) with the plate (3); otherwise, the corrections are made and other proofs are performed until the final decoration pattern is obtained; it is possible to start the production with the die (M) defining the final decoration pattern. When the die (M) is worn out, the plate (3) is replaced with another one carrying a new die (M), likewise obtained by laser technique.

Abstract: A simple and flexible over-air protocol for
use with a mobile telephone system, having hand-held
telephones in a microcell or other type of cellular
communication system. A method in which user stations
communicate with one or more base stations to place and
receive telephone calls, in which the user stations are
provided a secure voice or data link and have the
ability to handoff calls between base stations while
such calls are in progress. Each base station has a set
of "air channels" to which it transmits in sequence. 
The air channels supported by each base station are
called that base station's "polling loop". A user
station receives general polling information on an
unoccupied air channel, transmits responsive information
to the base station, and awaits acknowledgment from the
base station. Each base station may therefore
simultaneously maintain communication with as many user
stations as there are air channels in its polling loop.
The ability of a user station to communicate on any
unoccupied air channel makes the protocol air-channel
agile, while the stability of user station and base
station clocks may define air channels, gaps, and minor
frames.

banknotes from the receiving portion, a detector for discriminating
"regular and defective" and "front and back" of taken-out banknotes,
and first to fourth stacking and banding devices for classifying and
stacking banknotes on the basis of discrimination results and
banding each 100 banknotes. When the first stacking and banding
device fails in a mode that the first and second stacking and banding
devices stack front bills and the third and fourth stacking and
banding devices stack back bills, in expectation of 100 front bills
being stacked in the second stacking and banding device, in the
timing that the 97th front bill passes the detector, the take-out
roller is stopped. When the number of front bills is less than 100,
the take-out roller rotates and takes out one banknote.

Abstract: Continuous breakpoint halogenation with hydroxyl free radical species is used to
increase the rate of sanitization a water system and maintain a high rate of oxidation in
the bulk water of the pool, spas, and other water systems despite the presence of
accumulated demand. Undesirable compounds can be eliminated by maintaining a level
of desired oxidation potential. The feedrate and ratio of halogen donor and free radical
species can be optimized to sustain the desired ppm range of halogen and sustain an ORP
of, for example, 780 mV - 820 mV. Sustaining these parameters can prevent or even
reverse the accumulation of combined halogen and other halogenated volatile
compounds, which can contaminate the air and water of water facilities such as indoor
swimming pools.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide multi-channel reproducing apparatuses and multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatuses that can be easily connected to one another. In the multi-channel reproducing apparatus 1, a DSP 6 converts an inputted audio signal to audio signals for a plurality of channels, adds channel identification information to each audio signal and multiplexes the audio signals to generate a multi-channel reproducing signal. The DSP 6 supplies the multi-channel reproducing signal to a plurality of multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatuses 20 1  to 20 n  that are dispersedly arranged. These multi-channel reproducing loudspeaker apparatuses 20 1  to 20 n  input the multi-channel reproducing signal from an input terminal 20a and output the signal to outside from an output terminal 20b. Each loudspeaker apparatuses 20 1  to 20 n  extracts and reproduces the audio signal of the channel assigned thereto from among the multi-channel reproducing signals inputted from a decoder 11 and outputs audio sound from a loudspeaker 16.

example, a cyclone. The vertically extending duct may have doors (32) opening to
the interior of the booth to provide access to the vertical duct for cleaning. The doors
may have holes (120) to aspirate air from the booth interior to optimize air flow
patterns within the booth. A diverter plate (26) within the booth (2) defines with the
booth floor (10) a floor duct leading to the overspray intake (18). The diverter plate
has apertures for allowing oversprayed powder to be collected through the plate. The
diverter plate may be provided as two or more diverter plates held at different
elevation levels within the booth to define a floor duct which is larger in parts of the
floor duct which are closer to the overspray intake than parts of the floor duct which
are farther from the overspray intake. The coating system may include an air assist
which provides jets of air across a portion of the interior surface of the booth. The
surface may be one or more sloped portions (22) of the floor and/or one or more
portions of the diverter plate. The air supply may be pulsed to produce periodic bursts
of air across the interior surface. The booth walls are made of non-conductive resin
based cored composite materials. Various non-conductive fastening devices and two
component resin bonding materials may be used to form mechanical joints to
assemble a spray booth.

Abstract: A method of providing access to a network of contact centres comprises providing
contact links on one or more web pages which when activated initiate contacts to
the contact centres. The network addresses associated with the links and to which
the contacts are automatically directed are dynamically specified in the web pages
and are obtained from a database. The database is dynamically updated in
response to statistical updates received periodically or continually from the
individual contact centres. In this way the contacts can be directed in advance to
the most appropriate destination without having to evaluate each contact as it
enters the contact centre network, thereby reducing processing time and delays.
Alternatively one or more remote session initiation protocol (SIP) proxy servers
can be updated periodically with network addresses from the database, whereby
SIP requests are directed by the proxy server to the contact centre or agent most
suitable to handle the contact, as determined in advance of the request from the
statistical information.
