Abstract: In a C-axis driving system for machine tools
including a worm wheel mounted on a spindle rotatably
supported by a headstock, a worm shaft with a worm formed
therein directed perpendicular to an axis of the spindle
and placed so as to be pivotable about a pivotal shaft
between an engagement position where the worm shaft is
engaged with the worm wheel and a disengagement position
where the worm shaft is disengaged therefrom, and a C-axis
driving motor connected to the worm shaft and serving for
rotationally indexing the spindle to a specified rotational
angle, wherein the worm shaft is rotatably supported by a
worm shaft base, the pivotal shaft is provided on the worm
shaft base so as to be directed perpendicular to an axis of
the worm shaft, and the pivotal shaft is supported by the
headstock. Thus, the C-axis driving system for machine
tools is capable of suppressing the upsizing of the C-axis
unit as well as the increase in cost while implementing a
smooth engagement with the worm wheel.

Abstract: To enable uniform heating of the wafer and to carry out heating of the guard ring with
high efficiency using lamps of a light source part formed of wafer heating lamps and guard
ring heating lamps, the distance between the guard ring heating lamps and the guard ring is
made larger than the distance between the wafer heating lamps and the wafer. A side wall is
formed with a mirror surface is located between the lamps for wafer heating and the lamps for
heating the guard ring by which the light which was emitted from the guard ring heating
lamps in the direction toward the wafer are reflected toward the guard ring. Furthermore, at
the outer periphery of the guard ring heating lamps, a second side wall is formed which is
used as a reflection surface. In addition, at the outer periphery of the guard ring, there is a
second mirror by which the light emitted outward of the guard ring is focused back onto the
guard ring.

Abstract: A washing appliance 3 having a thermally actuated diverter valve 1 to allow for
the diversion of water through the water holding receptacle 2 of the washing appliance
3, where control means controls the turning on and off of an inlet valve and energising
of the thermally actuated diverter valve. A method of controlling a thermally activated
valve 1 in the cycle of the washing appliance is also disclosed. This method provides

phase in a washing appliance 3. The present invention allows for the thermally
actuated diverter valve's "on time" life to be conserved, particularly in situations where
the flow of water into the appliance is low, for example when the appliance is used in
areas where water pressure is low, or when valves or pipes are blocked or obscured.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés d'amélioration des techniques de fabrication de stratifiés, visant à améliorer les propriétés surfaciques de certains objets et à réduire le temps de fabrication des structures de support. Un premier aspect de l'invention forme des surfaces présentant peu ou pas de concavités entre les couches qui possèdent une résistance améliorée aux fissures. Un premier procédé consiste d'abord à déposer un matériau alterné à amélioration de surface sur chaque couche, à côté du futur emplacement de la surface du matériau principal, puis à déposer le matériau principal, dont les bords coïncident avec le matériau alterné précédemment solidifié et déposé. Dans ce procédé, le centre des couches du matériau principal peut être concave, contrairement aux zones intercouches. Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne des structures amovibles sur lesquelles est déposé le matériau principal. Ces structures de support forment un support au-dessus des cavités du matériau principal servant à déposer le matériau et former les sommets des cavités, tout en réduisant le temps et la quantité de matériau requis pour construire ces structures de support. Des structures de support réduites comprennent des structures en colonnes portées par la base de la cavité et des attaches angulaires soutenant les parois de la cavité. Certaines structures de support sont portées par les parois latérales mais pas par la base, alors que d'autres sont soutenues par la base et pas par les parois latérales.

Abstract: Access to information is controlled by maintaining, for a given device or other entity through which information may be accessed, a contact list that includes information identifying one or more other entities which have attempted to communicate with the given entity. The contact list further includes a contact count field specifying, for each of the entities on the contact list, the number of times the corresponding entity has attempted to communicate with the given entity. The contact list is utilized in conjunction with a revocation list stored in a memory associated with the given entity in order to determine which of the other entities are authorized to communicate with the given entity. The contact list is updated after a modification of the revocation list, or if a new entity not already included on the contact list attempts to communicate with the given entity. If the contact list does not have sufficient space to accommodate a non-revoked new entity, an entity already on the contact list is selected for removal from the contact list based on its corresponding contact count.

Abstract: A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit includes a VCO (11) having
a parallel resonant circuit including a first capacitance (C4)
implemented by a reverse-biased diode and a second capacitance (C1

the oscillation frequency has a deviation is examined based on the
tune voltage controlling the first variable capacitance (C4). If a
deviation is observed due to a temperature fluctuation etc., the control
voltage for the second variable capacitance (C1 to C3) is corrected for
compensating the deviation.
