Filed: 1992-04-15
Abstract: A process for the copolymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane and hexaphenylcyclotrisiloxane in an ordered manner reacts the desired ratios of the siloxanes in the presence of a lithium containing catalyst and a solvent at a temperature which controls the polymerization pattern. When the polymerization temperature is below l00°C., the polymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane is favored. When the polymerization temperature is above l00°C., the polymerization of hexaphenylcyclotrisiloxane is favored. By selection of the silanes used, their ratios and the polymerization temperature, copolymers in the desired sequence of dimethylsiloxy units and diphenylsiloxy units can be formed.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for quantizing gray level pixels using a combination of halftoning and error diffusion which initialiy determines a best fit halftone cell, and propagates halftoning error in order to maintain gray density, while reducing halftoning and error diffusion artifacts. The diffused error is the difference between the average gray output value and the average gray input value over the area of a halftone cell. Input and output gray values are also compared for adjusting the halftoning threshold.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and to a device for thermal cleaning of metal strip surfaces during heating in continuous annealing lines, in particular for removing oil-containing coatings, while dispensing with alkaline and acidic cleaning solutions, chlorinated hydrocarbons, caustic alkalis and the like. The oil film is caused to evaporate by blowing with a hot hydrogen-nitrogen gas mixture, and the oil vapours are converted to CO and CO2 by stoichiometrically adequate feeding of steam, so that the carburisation of the low-carbon annealing material, otherwise unavoidable in view of the existing high carbon potential, is avoided. By means of a circulation fan and of nozzles directed onto the strip surface, an impact flow is generated under which the vapour pressure of the oil film increases proportionally to the heating rate and the evaporating hydrocarbon compounds react with the steam fed in accordance with the heterogeneous and homogeneous water gas equilibrium. In this case, the circumstance is exploited that the blanketing gas temperature is already very high, but the temperature of the strip running in is still comparatively low. Because of this, and owing to the short residence time of the strip in the cleaning section, oxidation reactions on the strip surface and diffusion processes in the strip material are not yet activated. The evaporating oil film, whose maximum boiling point is not reached until just before the exit from the cleaning section, provides additional protection. The boiling curve and the distribution of the evaporation rate over the temperature are known, so that strip heating, blanketing gas throughput and circulation can be matched to the boiling properties of the oil residue. Pretreatment of the strip in tristeam degreasing units or electrolytic degreasing units or other precautions against carburisation of the annealing material can be dispensed with; an appropriate blanketing gas circulation ensures that no carbon epitaxy occurs in the furnace chamber. The process is designed for the lowest possible pollution of the environment and is particularly suitable for the continuous heat treatment of thin strip cross-sections of ferrous materials such as fine sheet and very fine sheet, low-carbon grain-oriented and non-grain-oriented magnetic steel sheets, stainless steel sheets, strip of iron/nickel alloys and of non-ferrous metals such as alloys of titanium, copper, zinc and aluminium, whenever residues of fabrication aids such as oil and emulsion must be removed before annealing. After the evaporation of the oil film, pigments such as abraded metal and dust are blown off from the strip surface by the gas jet, and this counteracts the formation of pimples on the furnace support rollers and the formation of stratches on the underside of the strip. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a separable bottom end stop assembly for a concealed slide fastener, a socket member (1) has first- and second-plug-member insertion holes (6, 7) on opposite sides of a central catch plate (5), and an engaging tongue (9) projecting inwardly from one side wall (8). When a first plug member (2) is inserted into the socket member (1), a locking portion (17) on one side of a lower end of the first plug member (2) comes into locking engagement with the catch plate (5) and an engaging portion (18) on the other side of the lower end of the first plug member (2) comes into engagement with the engaging tongue (9). With continued inserting of the first plug member (2), an inwardly directed hook-shaped end (15) of an engaging projection (16) extending from an upper end of the socket member (1) comes into engagement with an engaging recess (22) in a rear wall (21) of a slider (19). In this state, a second plug member (3) is inserted into the second-plug-member insertion hole (7), and a slider (19) is then pulled so as to move the socket member (1) in a predetermined range, whereupon only the slider (19) is pulled to join the opposed stringers (s, s') together. To separate the closed stringers (s, s'), the slider (19) is pulled to push the socket member (1) down, and then the second plug member (3) is removed from the socket member (1) and the slider (19).

Abstract: A current transformer (4) detects the output currents of a voltage-type inverter (INV), and comparators (11) check whether the outputs from the current transformer exceed a predetermined limit value. When the comparators (11) detect that the magnitude of the current vector exceeds the predetermined limit value and the motor is driven, selected phases of the inverter are switched off whereas in the case of motor braking all phases are switched off. This ensures that the output current of the inverter (INV) will be reduced.

Abstract: A signal amplifier circuit is provided with a buffer amplifier (1) and an adjusting circuit (2) for detecting a difference in voltage between a reference voltage (V o ) and an output voltage (V o  + ΔV) of the buffer amplifier when the reference voltage (V o ) is inputted to the buffer amplifier (1) as an offset voltage, and for inputting a voltage obtained by subtracting the offset voltage (ΔV) from the voltage of an input signal so as to cancel out the offset voltage. An image display device of the present invention includes the above signal amplifier circuit. According to the above arrangement, the offset voltage (ΔV) can be cancelled out. Therefore, the signal amplifier circuit having a desirable buffer characteristic that a voltage having the same level as the voltage of the input signal can be outputted even if the offset voltage is generated in the buffer amplifier. By adopting the above signal amplifier circuit, an image display device which permits a high quality image display can be achieved.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for accurately reading and storing data as multiple data blocks on a removable data storage medium mounted within a data storage system. Each data block includes an initial acquisition data character and multiple diverse synchronization characters/bursts and adjacent data blocks are separated by a unique interblock gap character. A multimodal interblock gap character detection circuit is provided which may operate in a normal mode of operation or a stringent mode of operation, the stringent mode requiring an enhanced degree of certainty for detection of the interblock gap character. A predicted time window of occurrence for a next interblock gap character is generated in response to detection of an initial acquisition data character and at least one synchronization character within a data block. Additionally, a global clock count signal based upon multiple track outputs is generated each time a resynchronization burst is encountered. The multimodal interblock gap character detection circuit is then automatically switched from the stringent mode of operation to the normal mode of operation during the predicted time window, minimizing the possibility of erroneous interblock gap character detection during data block processing. In data blocks which are sufficiently large to utilize multiple unique end of block synchronization characters, the occurrence of each successive end of block synchronization character may be utilized to redefine the predicted time window with greater accuracy. Expiration of a predicted time window or the occurrence of a global clock count signal during an open predicted time window may then be utilized to generate a presumption of the occurrence of an interblock gap character; however, actual detection of the interblock gap character will override the prediction circuitry.
