Title: Voltage regulating circuit for eliminating "latch-up
Inventor: PONZETTA ANTONIO MARTINO
IPC: G05F1/575
Filed: 1998-05-11
Abstract: The voltage regulator has a series bipolar transistor (2) to adjust the voltage output. The base voltage of the transistor is controlled by a resistor (5) and Zener diode (6) connected across the unregulated potential source, with the base connected to the junction between the resistor and the Zener diode. In addition, a voltage detector circuit (11) is connected across the regulated output and is also connected to the base of the transistor. The voltage detector causes the transistor to switch to the blocking state when latch up occurs. Filter capacitors (3,9) are fitted across the unregulated and the regulated supplies.

Abstract: This invention relates to ink follower for a water-base
ballpoint pen with its bubbles removed, time-dependent
stability, less oil separation, and greatly reduced lot-to-lot
viscosity difference and associated performance difference,
and a method for manufacturing the same. After addition of
thickener, the follower is made depressurized preferably at
0.2 atm or lower. Simultaneous heating and stirring are
preferable. When the ink follower is solely debubbled in
advance, fine bubbles contained in particulate silica, clay
thickener, etc. can be very highly removed even if the
centrifugal debubbling is not so strong and there is no bad
affection to the writing property of the pen. It is also
possible that, after adding the thickener, a centrifugal force
greater than or equal to 200-fold of the gravitational
acceleration is applied to debubble.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable has strength assemblies (30)
adjacent a tube (13) for imparting crush resistance to the
cable and at least one of the strength assemblies (13)
includes a strength member (32) in contact with the tube
(13) which has at least one optical fiber (11) therein.
The strength member (32) is coupled to a first jacket (34)
and may be surrounded a single jacket, or by an armor tape
(36) and a second jacket (38) . The strength member may be
disposed in a recess of the tube. When crush loads are
applied to the fiber optic cable, the stresses created in
the cable are advantageously distributed by the strength
assemblies (30) whereby stress concentrations and undue
deflection of the cable in response to the crush loads are
avoided. Tight coupling and minimized gaps between the
cable components in the strength assemblies (30) inhibits
slippage and/or warping of the components under stress, and
thereby evenly distribute the stress for preventing crush
induced attenuation in the optical fibers.
