Abstract: When a Si single crystal 8 is pulled up from a melt 6 received in a crucible 2, the state of eddy flows generated in the melt 6 is judged from the temperature distribution of the melt at the surface. According to the result of judgement, the gas, i.e. N 2 , Xe or Kr, which causes extraoridnary deviation in the density of the melt 6 is added to an atmospheric gas, so as to keep the eddy flows under unstabilized condition. The effect of said gas is typical in the case of crystal growth from the melt to which a dopant such as Ga, Sb, Al, As or In having the effect to suppress the extraordinary deviation in the density is added. Since the single crystal is pulled up from the melt held in the temperature-controlled condition at the surface, impurity distribution and oxygen distribution are made uniform along the direction of crystal growth. A single crystal obtained in this way has highly-stabilized quality.

Abstract: A hinged mounting bracket used in conjunction with a telephone wire connecting block for termination of telephone circuit wires. The mounting bracket accepts modular connectors to form any size connecting block. The hinged bracket consists of two pieces, a bracket base and a front flap which receives the modular connectors. In one preferred embodiment, the front flap is coupled to the base by a hinge which enables the bracket to rotate open so that the rear of the modular connectors may be easily accessed. Access to the rear of the connectors at a time after the bracket has been mounted provides additional flexibility in all types of wiring schemes in that the front side of the connecting block may be kept from becoming overly congested. In a preferred application of the invention cable termination are made to the rear of connector modules and the cables enter the bracket through apertures in the base portion of the bracket. The wire access apertures are located at a position relative the termination locations for the cables on the connectors, such that a torsional or twisting force is subjected on cables entering the bracket, rather than a bending force.

Abstract: A method for dynamically determining a media type of a local area network (LAN) to which a network device is connected. A network interface driver software module is executed which is the lowest level of software to communicate with the LAN and which handles the sending and receiving of communication packets to and from the LAN by appending or stripping off packet frame headers. The network interface driver software module has one or more logical boards for processing communication packets having different respective frame types and has one or more configuration tables, each respectively associated with one of the logical boards, which each include a frame type identifying value that identifies a combination of frame type and media type for packets processed by the corresponding logical board. The network interface driver software module also has a service routine which can be accessed via an entry point. One or more protocol stack modules are executed for processing packets that use different respective protocols, and a multiplexer software module is executed which interfaces between the network interface driver software module and the one or more protocol stack modules and which routes packets from the network interface driver software module to the respective protocol stack modules according to the protocol used by the packets. The entry point of the network interface driver service routine is obtained via the multiplexer module. A location of one of the configuration tables is then obtained via the service routine. The frame type identifying value in the one configuration table is then read, and the network media type is determined by comparing the frame type identifying value read from the one configuration table to one or more values that correspond to a predetermined media type.

Abstract: A stream of precooled and purified air is introduced through an inlet 202 into a double rectification column comprising a higher pressure rectification column 204 and a lower pressure rectification column 206 and is separated therein into an oxygen-rich fraction and a nitrogen-rich fraction. A stream of argon-enriched oxygen vapour flows from an outlet 274 of the lower pressure rectification column 6 into a side column 252 in which argon is separated therefrom. An oxygen-enriched liquid air stream is taken from an outlet 216 at the bottom of the higher pressure rectification column 204. A vaporous oxygen-enriched air stream is introduced into the lower pressure rectification column 206 through an inlet 246 above the outlet 274. At least part of the oxygen-enriched liquid is separated in a further or intermediate pressure rectification column 224 provided with a reboiler 222, thereby forming a vapour depleted of oxygen and a liquid air stream further enriched in oxygen. At least one stream of the further-enriched liquid is vaporised to form the oxygen-enriched vapour that is introduced through the inlet 246 into the lower pressure rectification column 206. A part of the oxygen-depleted vapour is condensed in a condenser 230 and is taken as product or reintroduced into the lower pressure rectification column 206. The partial reboiling in the reboiler 222 is effected by indirect heat exchange with a vapour stream withdrawn from an intermediate region of the side column 252 through an outlet 281. The condenser 230 is cooled by a stream of liquid withdrawn through an outlet 242 of the further rectification column 224.

Abstract: A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission of multiple clutch type, in which a switchover valve (2 in Fig. 4) for switching-over clutch control pressures includes two spool valvules (4 and 6). When one of two clutches (C1 and C2) is supplied with the clutch control pressure and is held in engagement, the spool valvules (4 and 6) operate to cut off the supply of the clutch control pressure for the other clutch to-be-disengaged and to hold the engagement of one clutch to-be-engaged. Thus, even when the supply source (12 or 14) of the clutch control pressure has failed, the clutches (C1 and C2) are prevented from coming into multiple engagement.
