Abstract: The actual welding temperature is fed to the control unit(8) and compared with a set value stored in the data carrier(10) on the plastic fitting(2) and using an adjustable variable the temperature is controlled to the set temperature for optimum welding quality. A set temperature for preheating and another for the welding event are also stored in the data carrier together with the time/set temperature profile. The actual welding temperature is recorded on the basis of either the physical properties of the heating wire(14), a melt pressure sensor or magnetic, especially high frequency properties. A tolerance band is provided for the set temperature during welding. The control unit(8) performs several tasks, e.g. heating to the set temperature, measuring temperature, carrying out safety checks and controlling the resulting adjustable variable. The data carrier(10) contains fixed control parameters, especially welding temperature and/or preheating temperature and/or heating wire temperature coefficients and/or welding and preheating times and cooling times. The control variable remains constant during the measuring and control cycles of the control circuit or can be switched on and off at intervals. A further temperature sensor(30) at a precise distance from the melting zone checks whether the heating wire and hence melt has reached a prescribed limit and a signal from this sensor halts the welding action.

Abstract: A gait generation system of a biped mobile robot (1) having a body (24) and two
articulated legs (2) each having a foot at its distal end connected by an
ankle joint (10,12,14R,L).
The system has two or three models approximating a deviation of displacement
(position) and velocity of the body and the ZMP (zero moment point) indicative of
the floor reaction force acting on the robot. In the system, two gaits for a robot
walking step are generated. If there is a discontinuity of the body position or
velocity or the ZMP in the gait boundary, the models are manipulated to cancel the
discontinuity. The output of the models are calculated from the input, and based
on the input and output, the gaits are corrected. The models are designed to stop
at every two walking steps so as to avoid calculation errors from being
accumulated.

Abstract: A procedure is described for determining the power output of a downhole drilling
motor, when the motor is inside the wellbore. The technique uses stand-pipe pressure and
fluid flow rate as the main inputs. The power output of the motor is calculated by carrying
out two low flow stall tests at flow rates lower than the drilling flow rate. These tests result in
"off-bottom" and stall pressures at the two flow rates. Another off-bottom pressure is taken
at the actual flow rate that will be used during drilling operations. From the use of the off-bottom
and stall pressure measurements, a determination is made of the differential pressure
across the motor and the stall pressure at the actual drilling fluid flow rate. A full power
curve and a predicted operating stand-pipe pressure for optimal power generation are
provided based on an experimentally verified assumption regarding the change in rotation rate
of the motor versus the differential pressure across the motor power section.

Abstract: A temperature compensated filter has a
compensating screw (18) mounted in a support (40) in
the wall (22) of a cavity. The support is made from a
material having a high coefficient of thermal expansion
compared to the material of the cavity and the material
of the compensating screw. As temperature changes, the
support moves the compensating screw either further
into the cavity or further out of the cavity to
compensate for the change in resonant frequency of the
cavity that would otherwise occur. The compensating
screw can be used with single, dual or triple mode
cavities. The compensating screw can be made of
metallic material or it can be made of non-metallic
material with a metallic outer surface. The
compensating screw is locked in the support before the
support is inserted into the wall of the cavity. The
support is then locked in the wall of the cavity and
the screw automatically changes position within the
cavity as temperature changes. An RF barrier (50) can
be used to prevent RF energy from the cavity from
entering the area of the support.

Abstract: A memory controller provides fast processing of sequential split memory access
instructions which include a split write instruction. In a split write instruction, a write address and
write request are provided to the memory controller in an initial transaction while write data can
be provided to the memory controller in a later transaction. The memory controller includes a
sideline buffer, for buffering incomplete write instructions, and memory control logic which
ensures proper execution of the sequential memory access instructions. Upon receiving an
incomplete write instruction, the memory control logic stores the corresponding write request and
write address in the sideline buffer until corresponding write data becomes available. The memory
control logic determines if there is overlap between memory space to be occupied by an initial
write data block and memory space to be occupied by a subsequent read data block or second
write data block, of a read or write instruction respectively. By using a sideline buffer to
temporarily store incomplete write instructions, processing of sequential memory access
instructions can continue subject to observance of memory access conflict rules.

Abstract: When a second disc is inserted, recording and/or
reproducing operation of information on or from a first disc
is stopped, and a moving member is moved in the X1-direction.
This movement allows a clamp chassis to be moved upward and
unclamped, and the second disc is carried into a disc
apparatus by a transfer roller and is supported by disc
guides. Then, the first and the second discs are supported
by the disc guides and are moved upward and then, the first
disc is carried out of an insertion opening by the transfer
roller. In the course of the movement of the drive chassis
to the upper position, the second disc is placed on a
turntable, and is chucked and clamped by a clamper.
Therefore, it is possible to exchange the second disc with
the first disc only by inserting the second disc.

Abstract: A diagnostic platform includes a processor, storage
media and user interfaces, including a display screen, the
processor being coupled to engine analyzer hardware and
adapted to be coupled to a scanner for downloading data from
vehicle on-board computers. The system stores libraries of
information regarding vehicle identifications, drivability
symptoms exhibited by vehicles, vehicle system and component
tests and service codes which can be registered by the
vehicle on-board computer. System software permits the user
to input an identification of the vehicle under test and, in
one mode of operation, displays a library of faults, such as
symptoms or service codes, from which the user can select
those exhibited by the vehicle, whereupon the system selects
from the test library those tests pertinent to diagnosis of
the causes of the selected faults and displays them in a
hierarchically ranked order based on likelihood of
successful diagnosis of the faults. The user can then
select and initiate any displayed test. In other modes, the
system initially displays one of the libraries of system or
component tests, from which the user selects those deemed
appropriate, whereupon the system highlights icons which can
be selected for initiating pertinent test procedures.
Selected test procedures may include links to the engine
analyzer or scanner hardware or other appropriate test
modules.

the symmetrical polyurea-urethane coated granular fertilizer products
produced by these processes. These processes comprise coating fertilizer
granules with compounds which react to form urethane coatings which
contain terminal isocyanate groups, followed by polymerization of these
urethanes to form symmetrical polyurea-urethanes. Suitable compounds
comprise a) an organic polyisocyanate component, and b) an alkanol-amine
component containing at least one tertiary amine group and at least
one hydroxyl group. These compounds are present in sufficient quantities
that the molar ratio of isocyanate groups to isocyanate-reactive groups is
from about 1.6:1.0 up to about 10.0:1.0 in each encapsulating layer. It is
necessary that sufficient amounts of these compounds are applied to the
fertilizer granules such that the symmetrical polyurea-urethane coated
granular fertilizer particles contain from about 0.5 to about 15% by weight
of polyurea-urethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated
fertilizer particles.
