Title: Tie-down assembly for securing a cask containing radioactive waste to a vehicle
IPC: G21C5/00
Filed: 1989-02-01
Abstract: A tie-down assembly for securing a cask to a vehicle, 
comprisiing a plurality of cask lugs (14, 16), each of 
which is attached to a portion of the outer wall 918) of 
the cask (3) for connecting the cask to tensioned 
cables (38, 40) which in turn are attached to the 
vehicle (5) wherein said cask lugs (14, 18) are formed 
from a material whose ratio of ultimate stress to yield 
stress is substantially lower than the ratio of ultimate 
stress to yield stress of the material forming said portions 
of the outer wall (18) of the cask (3) so that said cask 
lugs will break off or pull out of the cask before they 
apply a force great enough to break or rupture said outer 
wall portions of said cask.

Title: Position/speed detection method and apparatus
IPC: G01D5/244
Filed: 1989-03-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a position detecting method and apparatus which 
are suitable for detecting the position of a moving body on 
the basis of the output of a position detector (1) for 
generating two-phase periodic waves having a phase difference 
of a quarter period, the apparatus comprising wave processing 
means (2) comparing either one of the two-phase periodic waves 
with a predetermined reference value having hysteresis to 
thereby obtain a roughly estimated position for every half 
period of the one periodic wave; means (12, 14) for analog-­
to-digital converting the two-phase periodic waves and a zero-­
cross value for every sampling period to thereby obtain a 
finely estimated position; and detecting the position of the 
moving body on the basis of the roughly estimated position and 
the finely estimated position while correcting an error due to 
the hysteresis at the starting point of the roughly estimated 
position, by use of the relationship between the roughly 
estimated position and the finely estimated position. Accord­
ing to this method and apparatus, continuity between the 
roughly estimated position and the finely estimated position 
can be maintained, so that exact and high-resolution position 
detection can be performed.

Title: An fm intermediate-frequency circuit
IPC: H03G11/06
Filed: 1989-05-22
Abstract: An FM intermediate-frequency circuit into which there is integrated at least a limiter-amplifier (1A), a level detector included in the amplifier, and a phase-locked loop (2, 3, 4) which contains a VCO (4). A large dynamic range of the level detector is obtained without having to use excessive limiter-amplifier amplification, which would cause oscillation problems. In parallel with the said limiter-amplifier (1A) is at least a second limiter-amplifier (1B), in connection with which there is also a level detector. By means of a dividing circuit (R1, R2) the level of the input signal of the second limiter-amplifier (1B) is dropped. The signals (1A, 1B) obtained from the level detectors are combined to form one level detection signal (ITOT). If the signals are in the form of current, the combining can be carried out directly by summating the signals.

Patent EP-0371577-A3 (EP)
Title: Easily upgradable video memory system and method
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 1989-06-28
Abstract: A video memory system is disclosed in which the memory module used to store video data also generates a selection signal that indicates whether the module is a monochrome or color memory module. Memory control logic generates a pixel clock which governs the rate at which pixels of data are output to a monitor, and a load clock which determines the rate at which data is read from the memory module. The load clock is generated at a first rate when the selection signal denotes a monochrome memory module, and at a second, faster rate when the selection signal denotes a color memory module. A shift register receives video data from the video memory module at the rate of the load clock, and outputs that data at the pixel clock rate. The shift register outputs a plurality of bits of the video data in parallel to a video signal generator, which converts the received data into a video signal. To upgrade the video memory system in the preferred embodiment from a monochrome system to a color system, a monochrome memory module is replaced with a color memory module. Alternatively, an upgrade can be effected by adding memory to the memory module and changing the mode selection signal from monochrome to color mode.

oligomer; from 5 up to 20% of a third resin which com­
prises a cresol formaldehyde oligomer, liquid acrylate 
diluent for said resins; from 5 to 15% of a polyfunctional 
acrylate monomer; and from 1 to 5% of a UV photoinitiator. 
The compositions are applied to substrates such as printed 
wiring boards and cured with ultraviolet light to form an 
adhesion between electronic components and the substrate.

Title: Communications network routing and management system
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1989-08-16
Abstract: A large number of potential alphanumeric patterns are 
ordered in a predetermined sequence which is then used to 
construct a transition graph composed of machine states 
along one coordinate and alphanumeric symbols along the 
other. The intersections on that graph establish either 
the next machine state on the graph or the action the 
system should provide. Pattern recognition is thus 
possible against strings of alphanumeric characters 
received there-after by responding to the characters to 
determine a path of state transitions through the graph 
until an appropriate action indicator is reached. Ma­
chines including the invention are dynamically configur­
able and permit a variety of system management options to 
the user. The invention has particular utility for 
flexible configuring of the dialing plan and internal 
management of PBX type of telephone switching devices 
regardless of the pattern discipline associated with its 
external connections.

Title: Neural computer
IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 1990-01-04
Abstract: An information processing system includes a 
plurality of functional blocks (neurons) (100) and a data 
bus (300) for transmitting in common the outputs of the 
individual functional blocks (neurons). Data transaction 
among the functional blocks (neurons) is performed through 
the data bus on the time-division basis. For preventing 
the outputs from conflicting or competition, addresses are 
assigned to the individual blocks (neurons), respectively, 
so that only the functional block (neuron) having the own 
address designated by the address signal supplied through 
an address bus (302) outputs data signal onto the data 
bus, while the other functional blocks (neurons) receive 
the information on the data bus as the signal originating 
in the functional block whose address is designated at 
that time point. The addresses are sequentially changed. 
During a round of the addresses signals, data are 
transmitted from given functional blocks (neurons) to 
other given functional blocks (neurons).

Title: Process for decaffeinating green coffee
IPC: A23F5/22
Filed: 1990-11-23
Abstract: A simple, operationally reliable and economic process is described for decaffeinating green coffee, which ensures a high degree of decaffeination, avoids denaturation of further constituents of the green coffee and permits isolation of the caffeine. In this process, green coffee beans, optionally moistened to 20% by weight to 40% by weight, are first extracted with a carbon dioxide-saturated liquid solvent, preferably water, at a temperature of 20 DEG C to 110 DEG C and at a pressure of 30 bar to 300 bar and, after reducing the pressure to 1 bar to 10 bar, are rinsed with the liquid solvent. The liquid phase loaded with the green coffee constituents including caffeine is decaffeinated in a device provided downstream by treatment with supercritical carbon dioxide and is again saturated with CO2. The caffeine is washed out of the supercritical CO2 phase with water and is isolated in pure crystalline form. <IMAGE>
