Abstract: A hologram scale having a base substrate, a hologram film with a diffraction grating of a desired pitch exposed thereon, adhered to the base substrate, and with a protective substrate to protect the hologram film is manufactured by the following method: 
a hologram of a laser produced diffraction grating is formed on a holographic film (11) to act as a scale. This film is applied on a central portion of a base substrate (10). Adhesives (12) having moisture resistance are applied between the base and the protective substrates (13) to essentially surround the hologram film positioned on the base substrate. The protective and the base substrates are sealed integrally by the adhesives, securing the hologram film therein so as to protect it from ambient environmental conditions.

Abstract: A memory (10) which senses output signals from a selected memory cell (102) during a read cycle using a non-address transition detection apparatus. The memory (10) has a plurality of memory cells (102) which provide signals to a pair of bit lines (106) when selected. Input means (12) drive word lines (104) and select a bit line pair of a memory cell (102) located at the intersection of a selected word line and a selected bit line pair. The memory cell (102) outputs bit line signals which are sensed by a combination of a differential amplifier (152), a level shifter (160), and a transconductance amplifier (170), and are thereafter output and presented externally at a logic state representative of a differential current at outputs of the transconductance amplifier (170). The combination sensing apparatus and a method for constructing such an apparatus decrease access time significantly over a prior art memory using address transition detection.

Abstract: An anti-theft case, particularly for compact discs, music cassettes, video cassettes, and the like, is provided with movable means (7, 7′) for locking a cassette (15) with­in such a case. According to the invention, the case com­prises a box (1) having substantially a parallelpipedal shape, and being provided with an opening (2) for a cassette to be inserted therethrough into its box, which is formed in at least one of the box sides, in such a manner as to leave at least two wall portions (3, 4) which extend from two op­posite end-side walls (5, 6) of box (1), and which are long­er than the extent of cassette (15) in the direction in which a cassette is inserted into its box. A movable abut­ment member (7, 7′) is provided in the region of one of the two end-side wall portions (3, 4) of the box sides, and is caused to cooperate with one end-side edge of cassette (15), the said movable abutment member (7, 7′) being pushed by spring means (10, 10′) into its abutting active position, or vice-versa. By a locking and unlocking device (11) the movable abutment member (7, 7′) is moved from the said abutting active position into a withdrwan inactive position. The cassette (15) is inserted into its case in an inclined condition, and with the movable abutment member (7, 7′) in its inactive position, the cassette is so shifted as to be engaged under the end-side wall portion (4) which is asso­ciated with the movable abutment member (7, 7′), by being passed thereover, whereupon the cassette (15) is moved back­ward so as to be engaged also under the opposite end-side wall portion (3), thus uncovering the movable abutment mem­  ber (7, 7′) which is moved into its active position, in which it is caused to cooperate with the associated end-side edge of cassette (15), whereby any such shiftement of cas­sette (15) is prevented, that may be apt to disengage the same for the two end-side wall portions (3, 4).

Abstract: The calibration method involves measuring the output D from a detecting cell placed under the object as a function of the various thicknesses Ep of standard objects and of the supply voltages Vm of the X-ray tube. These measurements make it possible to establish an analytical expression of the form D = f(Vm, Ep) which describes the curves obtained (21 to 25). The inverse function of the analytical expression enables the thickness Ep to be calculated as a function of the measured output D and the known supply voltage Vm. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A microprocessor partially decodes instructions retrieved from main memory before placing them into the microprocessor's integrated instruction cache. Each storage location in the instruction cache includes two slots for decoded instructions. One slot controls one of the microprocessor's integer pipelines and a port to the microprocessor's data cache. A second slot controls the second integer pipeline or one of the microprocessor's floating point units. The instructions retrieved from main memory are decoded by a loader unit which decodes the instructions from the compact form as stored in main memory and places them into the two slots of the instruction cache entry according to their functions. In addition, auxiliary information is placed in the cache entry along with the instruction to control parallel execution as well as emulation of complex instructions. A bit in each instruction cache entry indicates whether the instructions in the two slots are independent, so that they can be executed in parallel, or dependent, so that they must be executed sequentially. Using a single bit for this purpose allows two dependent instructions to be stored in the slots of the single cache entry.

Abstract: A method for recovering a liquid diluent having a low salt content from an organic/aqueous phase mixture which contains significant quantities of the diluent, an alkali metal salt, and water comprises an integrated process which joins extractive distillation and ion exchange steps with a subsequent reaction for the conversion of an alkali metal hydroxide. In the initial step the diluent is extracted from the original mixture employing a suitable extractant material. The extract from the initial step containing diluent, extractant material, along with reduced quantities of water and salt, is passed to an ion exchange column for conversion of the alkali metal salt to its hydroxide. In a following fractional distillation dewatering column the extractant material begins to react with the alkali metal hydroxide to form an alkali-metal salt of aminocarboxylic acid which can pass harmlessly through the dewatering column for removal in further following fractional distillation step.
