Inventor: ABE KATSUMI
IPC: H02P7/28
Filed: 1991-02-26
Abstract: A power on/off circuit with lock function having a momentary type main switch (10), a two-circuit two-contact lock switch (11), a switching state holding circuit (17), a load (23, 25) and a power supply (24). One of the switching circuits in the lock switch (11) is connected between the main switch (10) and the input terminal (CK) of the switching state holding circuit (17). The other switching circuit in the lock switch (11) is connected between the main switch (10) and the reset terminal (CLR) of the switching state holding circuit (17). The switching state of the main switch is held by the switching state holding circuit, and the state is kept unless a reset signal is given to the switching state holding circuit. The lock switch has the only function to generate the reset signal, so that the lock switch does not cut off the supply of current to the load as in a conventional shaver.

Abstract: An austenitic stainless steel screw has a surface formed into a hard nitrided layer, and a part such as a screw head which is in contact with outside air has its ultra hard surface layer of the hard nitrided layer removed by scouring or the like, to be rust resistant. Even when the ultra hard surface layer is thus removed, an inner hard layer of the hard nitrided layer which was present beneath the surface layer remains to maintain the hardness of the screw surface. A method for manufacturing the austenitic stainless steel screw includes, upon forming the hard nitrided layer on the screw surface by nitriding, cleaning the austenitic stainless steel screw surface with a fluorine- or fluoride-containing gas prior to nitriding. Thereby, any remaining foreign matter or oxidized layer or the like on the screw surface is removed and at the same time the screw surface is activated so N atoms easily penetrate and diffuse during nitriding to form a uniform nitrided layer.

Abstract: In a speech recognition device including a similarity calculator (16) for calculating a usual similarity as a provisional similarity between an input pattern and prepared reference patterns, a calculating arrangement (17, 18) calculates a reference similarity between the input pattern and produced reference patterns. A correcting unit (21) corrects the provisional similarity by the reference similarity into a corrected similarity. As usual, the similarity may be a dissimilarity. The prepared reference patterns may be memorized in the calculator or be given by concatenations of primary recognition units. Preferably, the produced reference patterns are concatenations of secondary recognition units memorized in a memory (18).

Abstract: A thermal protective device comprising a band-gap voltage source (11) and a comparator (12). The voltage source (11) presents two output terminals (15, 16) at which are respectively present a temperature-stable voltage (V REF ) and a voltage (V₂) increasing with temperature. Below a predetermined temperature value, the variable voltage is lower than the stable voltage; but, when the ambient temperature reaches a predetermined value, both voltages are equal. The above voltages are supplied to the input of the comparator (12), the output of which supplies a maximum permissible temperature signal, when the variable voltage equals the temperature-stable voltage.

Abstract: 5 n7 Symbol sequences of varying lengths and having logical meanings other than as network addresses (e.g., subscriber names), are assigned and used as actual telecommunications network addresses, without imposition of predefined fixed lengths, formats, or orderings on their constituent segments (e.g., given name, surname), in a call-processing arrangement (200) that uses stored definitions of syntax (320, 350) and grammar (400, 410) of the network numbering plan. The syntax definitions include definitions (312) of individual address segments, called symbol strings, which have logical meanings. Each string's definition includes a string length range (332), a string type (331), and an indicator (VNI 334) of the string's influence on call treatment (e.g., route) selection. The grammar definitions include a matrix (400) that defines permissible sequences of string types, including string types (256) which cannot be dialed by users but only result from receipt of permissible sequences of strings of user-dialable types, and a matrix (410) that defines which string types' influences on call treatment selection may be combined to select a treatment for a call. A network digit analysis function (210) parses a received call-control symbol sequence by using the stored syntax and grammar definitions to select a treatment for the call.

Abstract: A barcode identification system includes a user operable personal computer(14) for creating print jobs. The personal computer is coupled to a number of printers (10-13) for printing the data for a job in a selected format on a record member such as a tag, label or the like (27). The system employs modular software. During the initialization of each of the software modules (22,24,26,28), the system determines whether the module includes a key identification that matches a system key and if not, the operation of the software module is limited to a demonstration mode if that mode is allowable. 
     A data entry routine aids the user entering valid data for a selected format. In response to a print command, the data entered by the user is combined with the selected format to form a job. The job is then sent to a spooler which distributes the job to one of the barcode printers of the system.

Abstract: The insertion mechanism contains an insertion arm (14), which is designed as a fixedly mounted pivoting arm, and a clamp (3) for presenting the thread (F) to be inserted to the insertion arm (14). The thread is transferred by the insertion arm to a reception member (13) and is fixed until transfer in the clamp (3), so that the thread transfer takes place in the form of a loop. As a result, the insertion arm (14) does not need to have a special thread clamp and can have a corresponding simple design. The pivoting movement of the insertion arm (14) requires only a simple drive, and the reception of the loop-shaped thread (F) by the reception member takes place without difficulty. <IMAGE>
