Abstract: A disk player has a magazine for storing disks on carriages and a disk transport mechanism transporting a selected disk between four positions including an eject position, a load position, a playback position, and a store position which lie in a single plane. The selected disk is carried upon a carriage from the magazine to the load position where the selected disk is partially removed from the magazine to the playback position above a disk reader. An alignment mechanism provides relative movement between the magazine and a plane of transport of the disk transport mechanism permitting a selected disk to be inserted or removed from the magazine at the store position. The disk reader is positioned to read the selected disk while overlapping disks stored in the magazine resulting in a smaller disk player size. The magazine pivotally holds the carriages in a stacked arrangement with prongs engaging recesses in the carriages. The magazine also holds a carriage for accepting disks of two sizes. A separator mechanism pivots apart carriages in the magazine to allow sufficient clearance for removal and insertion of a selected carriage. The separator mechanism also has a stopping protrusion which serves as a keeper to hold a carriage below the selected carriage in the magazine during withdrawal of the selected carriage.

Abstract: 1.0 Device for fastening spacers on an inner pipe element. 2.1 In the case of multiple-shell chimneys, spacers serve to stabilise the inner pipe column which, as a result of the heat loading which occurs, has to be arranged such that it can be displaced in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the chimney. Experience shows that the installation of the spacers, which is, as a rule, laborious, is often forgotten during construction of the chimney. 2.2 It is proposed to arrange a peripheral bracing ring on the outer wall of the inner pipe element, there being provided through-passage openings which run in the longitudinal direction of the pipe at mutual intervals between the bracing ring and the outer wall and into which in each case one spacer element can be inserted in a simple manner by means of an abutment leg running in the longitudinal direction of the pipe. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fault tolerant storage controller utilizing tightly coupled dual controller modules. The controller modules each check to see if another controller module or cache module is present and, if so, then all configuration information with respect to the controller modules and attached devices are shared between them. Configuration information may be entered into either or both of the controller modules and the information is shared dynamically. Each cache module may be "locked" by an individual controller module to prevent the other controller module from inadvertently disturbing the contents of the other controller module's cache. During initialization, each controller module checks for the existence of an associated cache module and, if present, it is immediately "locked" by the controller module. Should a controller module fail or give an indication of a malfunction, the other controller module will disable or "kill" the malfunctioning controller module thereby resetting it and releasing any lock it may have had on its cache module. In those instances where the cache module is a write cache, the surviving controller module can resume operations where the malfunctioning controller module left off and complete any remaining writes to the disabled controller module's storage devices preventing the loss of any host computer data. The controller modules are tolerant of the other controller module failing and then rebooting and the sequence of events is detected and recognized by the surviving controller module such that it does not disable the one that failed. The dual controller modules communicate asynchronously to verify that they are each operational and to exchange and verify configuration information and to provide operational status dynamically.

Abstract: A universal interface for operatively connecting and feeding the sequential copy sheet output of various reproduction machines (12) of widely varying ranges of sheet output level heights to various independent copy sheet processing units (1) having widely varying sheet input level heights with a free-standing movable interface module (10) of a fixed narrow width. A sheet feeding path (14) extends from one side of the module to the other for transporting the copy sheets. This sheet feeding path is preferably bi-directional and reversible for feeding copy sheets therethrough from either side. It is repositionable by vertically repositioning over a large vertical height range, integral sheet path ends (15,16) opening at opposite sides of the interface module. A retention system (17,19) retains the sheet path ends at a selected height position mating with a selected reproduction apparatus sheet output level and a selected copy sheet processing unit sheet input level. The disclosed sheet feeding path varies in length automatically with this path end repositioning, yet remains substantially linear, and to that end may utilize baffles (20) which telescope automatically.

Abstract: A MOSFET is used to protect a battery driven load against the effects of a reverse-connected battery. This invention is particularly suitable for use with loads, such as those commonly found in motor vehicles, which contain semiconductor devices that may be severely damaged by a reverse voltage. The source of the MOSFET is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and a gate driver circuit is used to provide a gate to source voltage sufficient to turn the MOSFET on when the battery is properly connected. If the battery is connected in reverse, the gate driver turns the MOSFET off, and the intrinsic body-drain diode in the MOSFET prevents a reverse current flow through the load. In conjunction with the MOSFET, a sensing device sends out a warning signal which may be used, for example, to turn off a portion of the load if the output of the battery falls below a level necessary to maintain the MOSFET in a fully on condition.

Abstract: A scanning electron microscope suitable for producing an image of high resolution by detecting secondary electrons (109) and backscattered electrons (110) generated from a specimen (107) at a low accelerating voltage in a separate or synthesis fashion. In the scanning electron microscope electric and magnetic fields for separating trajectories of backscattered electrons and secondary electrons generated from a specimen are established, and a backscattered electron detector (121) for detecting generated backscattered electrons is disposed on the trajectory of the backscattered electrons. According to the microscope, since secondary electrons and backscattered electrons can be detected efficiently in a separate fashion even at a low accelerating voltage of several kilovolts or less and besides the detector does not exert the deflection action on a primary electron beam (104), backscattered and secondary electron images of high resolution can be obtained.

Abstract: To change the bobbins in the creel of a twin-sided textile machine, where each operating row such as at the spinning stations of a ring spinner assembly has at least one inner and one outer row of supply bobbins, the doffer moves along the longitudinal line of the machine assembly against a stationary transport system, to exchange the bobbins between creel and transport line. The doffer moves along the line of the machine assembly after a bobbin has been taken from the creel and before a fresh bobbin is inserted into the creel. At the outer and inner rows of bobbins, the bobbin at the inner row can be held in a position for handling near the doffer, and only one such position is available for each pair of bobbins to cover one bobbin of the inner row and one bobbin of the outer row. The unit operates with a prepositioned bobbin transport, and has a suction system to extract any residual matter from a bobbin or the unit itself.

Abstract: The method allows performing the multiplexing of audio-visual streams, coded according to standard MPEG1, to be sent to remote equipment where demultiplexing and decoding occur. The method takes into account the trend of the occupancy of the input buffers of the remote decoders in order to avoid possible underflow or overflow conditions. For this purpose a multiplexed stream is constructed, composed of packets of variable sizes, by choosing the streams on the basis of the urgency to receive data that the demultiplexing buffers BDi have in order not to become empty.

Abstract: A data reproducing method and a data reproducing apparatus which enable to run special reproductions such as a reverse reproduction quickly without accessing to a disk frequently. The data reproducing apparatus comprising demodulating means (3) for demodulating data read out of the disk (1), control means (6) for writing the demodulated data to storage means (5) and for reading the data from the storage means (5) and decoding means (10-16) for decoding data read out of the storage means (5) to the original data, further comprises detecting means (32) for detecting attribute information indicating attributes of the data appended per predetermined unit of the data so that the data is decoded selectively in response to the detected attribute information. A type of data stream and a type of picture can be known by detecting attribute information of the data, so that only necessary data may be selectively decoded and displayed in a variable-speed reproduction mode. Thereby, it becomes unnecessary to read data necessary for decoding out of the disk repeatedly every time when an image is reproduced during the special reproduction such as the backward reproduction and the waiting time necessary for reading data out of the disk may be shortened, allowing a smooth and quick special reproduction to be realized.
