Patent EP-0779605-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KANATSUKA TSUNEO
IPC: G07F11/42
Filed: 1996-12-06
Abstract: There are used article display shelves each comprising a plurality of article storing compartments arranged vertically and laterally, the article storing compartments each holding a plurality of articles in a front-declined state, and the articles in each article storing compartment are held by means of a stopper, the stopper being capable of moving between an article holding position for inhibiting free fall of article and an article release position for permitting free fall of article. On the premise that money is paid, a bucket is conveyed to a position where a desired article is to be dropped from the article storing compartment which holds the article, and the position of the stopper is shifted to the article release position by an operation performed on the bucket side. As a result, the desired article is put into the bucket, which bucket is then conveyed up to an article take-out port. In this way the sale of article is effected. Thus, the expensive drive source included in the stopper displacing structure, namely, the structure for taking out a desired article from the associated article display shelf, is provided on only the bucket and hence it is possible to provide a less expensive, large-sized, automatic vending equipment.

Abstract: High speed power supply transients are suppressed in a system having fast edges and where a radial transmission line exists between the power supply (3) and ground planes (4), by terminating the edges of the PCB in it characteristic impedance. In practice, this means approximating a continuous construct with many spaced instances of a discrete resistance (11, 13). The dissipative terminations themselves are resistive, and if placed directly between the power supply and ground would needlessly dissipate a great deal of DC power. To prevent that they are AC coupled with a high quality coupling capacitor (12, 14) of sufficent capacitance to allow the resulting impedance to appear predominately resistive at and above the lowest frequency of interest, say, 100MHz. Because of the confused nature of the reflection that may be generated at arbitrary locations within the interior of the PCB, there may well be "hot spots" within that interior that would benefit from the placement of a selected AC coupled load (20) at or near such a spot.

Abstract: A computer system defines a write transaction having a
certain encoding as a prefetch command. A computer program
developed for the computer system may include prefetch
commands at points where the program has determined that a
previously unreferenced coherency unit may be needed
presently. By initiating the coherency activities for
retrieving the coherency unit via a prefetch command, at
least a portion of the latency inherent in that coherency
activity may be experienced prior to executing an memory
operation which accesses the coherency unit. In one
embodiment, two prefetch commands are defined: a prefetch-shared
command and a prefetch-modified command. The
prefetch-shared command prefetches the coherency unit into
the shared coherency state within the processing node which
executes the prefetch command. On the other hand, the
prefetch-modified command prefetches the coherency unit into
the modified coherency state within the processing node
which executes the prefetch command. When data from the
coherency unit is received in the processing node, the data
is transmitted across a local bus within the processing node
to a memory. The data is stored into the local memory,
thereby becoming available locally. The latency associated
with the subsequent memory operation which accesses the
coherency unit may thereby be decreased.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting blocks of
compressed data in an ATM network is disclosed. Compressed
data blocks representing a movie are labeled prior to
transmission with the amount of data in each block and
information regarding the compression ratio of each block
and the time into the movie at which the block displays. A
server in the system first determines the size of the
receiver buffer, and then the minimum number of consecutive
blocks that would fit in the buffer. It then determines
minimum rate in bits per second by dividing the buffer size
by the number of blocks, times 8 bits/byte, times the
duration of each block in seconds. The server further
instructs the receiver to wait before decompressing and
displaying data by an amount of time sufficient to receive
the amount of data from the first blocks of compressed data
that is equal to the amount of data in the largest
compressed data block in the file.

Abstract: A push-pull wideband semiconductor amplifier for use
in, for example, a CATV (cable television) system which
suppresses deterioration of composite second-order (CSO)
distortion in output signals. The push-pull wideband
amplifier includes: a divider which divides a signal
inputted by way of an input terminal into two signals of
differing phase, a first and second amplifying circuit
each of which amplifies the signal divided by the divider,
and a combiner which combines the two signals amplified
by the first and second amplifying circuits into one
signal and outputs the result signal. The node between
the first amplifying circuit and the second amplifying
circuit is an imaginary ground point having a potential
of 0 V from the standpoint of an alternating-current
signal. A termination circuit is provided between this
imaginary ground point and ground and absorbs fluctuation
in potential generated at the imaginary ground point. In
the event of fluctuation in potential generated at the
imaginary ground point, the fluctuation in potential is
absorbed by the termination circuit. The standing wave
that accompanies fluctuation in potential is therefore
not generated, and even-order distortion is suppressed.
