Abstract: A living body stimulating apparatus capable of giving extensive therapeutic effects and softer feeling of stimulation. Rectangular wave pulse groups S containing a plurality of pulse density modulated higher frequency components or on-pulses than a rectangular wave pulse are applied repeatedly from conductor elements 24 to a human body. As a human body has a capacitive impedance, softer stimulation can be applied to the human body as compared with a rectangular wave having the same current and frequency. Furthermore, a pause period between on-pulses is varied by a stimulus generator means 8, so that a charging current to an equivalent electrostatic capacity of a human body is supplied little by little so as to slowly increase a charged quantity. As a result, cenesthesia of softer stimulation can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a memory, a sensing system detects bit states using one data and two reference inputs, to sense a difference in conductance of a selected memory bit cell and a midpoint reference conductance. Reference conductance is generated as the average conductance of a memory cell in the high conductance state and a memory cell in the low conductance state. The data input is coupled to the selected memory bit cell. The two reference inputs are respectively coupled to memory cells in high and low conductance memory states. The sense amplifiers use either current biasing or voltage biasing to apply a sensing voltage within a predetermined voltage range across the bit cells. Capacitance coupled to complementary outputs of the sense amplifiers is balanced by the circuit designs. In one form, the two reference inputs are internally connected. One of several gain stages amplifies the sense amplifier output without injecting parasitic errors.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à une efficacité économique postale utilisé dans des opérations postales. Ce procédé consiste généralement à transporter des objets d'un premier magasin et à pré-traiter une combinaison desdits objets sur la base d'un critère affecté, notamment des processus d'établissement des prix variable, pour calculer une autre valeur de ces opérations. Le pré-traitement collecte des combinaisons d'objets optimisées spécifiques au récipient et les stocke comme élément prélevables dans un système de stockage. Un tel pré-traitement supprime le besoin d'établir les coûts d'utilisation nécessaire dans l'art de la technique, ce qui permet de réduire les coûts d'utilisation, y compris les coûts indirects de l'équipement  temps d'immobilisation . Le pré-traitement permet également d'accomplir les réductions postales offertes par le service postal américain, ce qui supprime le besoin d'un pré-tri additionnel nécessaire selon l'art de la technique. En outre, on utilise des processus d'établissement des prix variable pour optimiser le potentiel économique de ces opérations.

Abstract: A hazard detector has an electronic circuit with a start-up program for causing emission of a local indicator signal, such as a flashing signal from a LED, if power and ground terminals of the detector are connected with proper orientation, i.e. polarity, to power and ground lines of a power supply. Through this means, a person installing the hazard detector can tell immediately after connection if the detector has been connected with proper orientation, and avoids the need for introducing a hazard such as heat or smoke to test the operation of the detector. A variation uses a more sophisticated program that disables, during a test mode, complex filtering algorithms that are used by detectors to block false alarm signals; if such filtering is not disabled, impedes normal testing of the detectors.

Abstract: A filter has coupled pairs of resonators positioned between and planar to split feed lines. The filters are further positioned orthogonal to the signal path. The filter has two pairs of resonators. Coupling extensions of the split feed lines are substantially parallel to each other. The resonators couple with the split feed lines at the coupling extensions. The resonators in each pair also couple to each other. The topology effectively forms an Elliptic Function response bandpass filter with high close-in frequency rejection capability. The filter can be cascaded to provide improved frequency rejection. Further, this topology may be relatively inexpensively produced using standard lithography techniques.

A cet effet, il est prévu pour ce lave-vaisselle, une commande de programmes électronique pour assurer la commande des cycles de programmes de rinçage, qui comporte un module de commande (1) programmable, présentant une interface (8) permettant la programmation extérieure d'au moins un cycle de programme de rinçage pouvant être exécuté par la commande de programmes, un contact pouvant être établi avec ladite interface directement depuis l'extérieur du lave-vaisselle. L'intégration d'une interface (8) pouvant être mise directement en contact depuis l'extérieur du lave-vaisselle, en vue de la programmation de cycles de programmes de rinçage, sur le module de commande (1) de la commande de programmes, permet de monter la commande de programmes, sans programmation préalable dans le lave-vaisselle et de n'être programmée que dans une des dernières étapes ou une fois la production du lave-vaisselle terminée.
