Abstract: In a method for heat process of silicon, a single crystal silicon produced by the Czochralski process is thermally processed at a low temperature ranging from 400 °C to 550 C . Outside this temperature range, the oxygen precipitate is not adequate. The result is that a predetermined oxygen precipitate can be obtained uniformly in the crystal growth direction without any reduction especially at the crystal bottom part. The resulting silicon is particularly suitable for manufacture of LSI.

Abstract: A single-chip microcomputer (19) has a clock-signal generating circuit (14) which includes a main system-clock oscillation circuit (5) for generating a main clock-signal (102), a sub system-clock oscillation circuit (4) for generating a sub clock-signal (101), a selector flag setter (3) for setting a selector flag, an oscillation control flag setter (2) for setting an oscillation control flag, and a synchronization control circuit (6) for effecting synchronization between the main clock-signal (102) and the sub clock-signal (101). The clock-signal generating circuit (14) of the invention has a logic circuit which takes an logical AND operation of outputs of the oscillation control flag setter (2), the selector flag setter (3) and the synchronization control circuit (6) and which outputs an oscillation control signal (120) for stopping oscillating operation of the main system-clock oscillation circuit (5). The main system-clock oscillation circuit automatically stops upon completion of the clock-signal switching operation, so that a CPU does not require a stand-by period for the switching of clock-signals and this results in the enhancement of processing capability of the CPU and results in the reduction of the power consumption.

Abstract: 2.1. In the delivery of items of clothing hanging on transport hangers (20) to a handling apparatus, there is often a requirement to lay the items of clothing with the front side or the rear side on a work surface of the handling apparatus. Until now this has only been possible manually in an expensive manner. 2.2. According to the invention, the items of clothing are delivered to the handling apparatus (automatic folding machine 21) by turning the transport hangers (20) into alternative relative positions. As a result, the items of clothing can always be hung in the same relative arrangement on the transport hangers (20) by the operator. To this end, at least one delivery conveyor system for delivering the items of clothing to the handling apparatus (automatic folding machine 21) has a pre-conveyor (29) and a number of delivery conveyors (30, 31), it being possible for the transport hangers (20) to be unturned on one delivery conveyor (30) and turned through 180 DEG on the other delivery conveyor (31) before they arrive at the handling apparatus (automatic folding machine 21). 3. The device according to the invention is suitable in particular for the delivery of gowns, patients' shirts etc. to be folded, to the work surface (46) of an automatic folding machine (21). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A controller for an injection molding machine controls the injection ram by means of profiles (350) having segments with programmable setpoints. The injection molding machine is initially controlled during each segment in an open-loop manner (354). Closed-loop control (352) is then adopted. The difference between the process signal, e.g. ram velocity, and the setpoint at the end of each segment is used to change the current setpoint to improve the open-loop accuracy over time. The learning (353) rate of change of the open-loop setpoints decreases after the initial correction.

Abstract: A process for producing PET based polyester polymers from a lower dialkyl ester of a dicarboxylic acid and a glycol, using a catalyst system containing manganese, lithium, antimony and preferably cobalt as well as a small amount of dicarboxylic acid is described. 
     The process includes the step of employing an effective catalytic amount of manganese and lithium in an ester interchange reaction where the lower dialkyl ester and glycol produce monomer; and using an effective catalytic amount of cobalt and antimony and a small effective amount of dicarboxylic acid to convert the monomer to polyester. 
     The process reduces the production time for polyesters and makes the use of a smaller ratio of glycol to dialkyl ester feasible. The latter can be further reduced by adding titanium to the catalyst system.

Abstract: In a VTR for a TCI signal, time-base correction and TCI decode processing are applied to the reproduced TCI signal of each channel and also to the corresponding dropout signals. According to the resulting dropout signal for luminance signal and the dropout signal for chrominance signal, the dropout section of a luminance signal and the dropout section of a chrominance signal are respectively compensated for. As a result, a luminance signal may have the data of the dropout section compensated for with data of a highly correlated luminance signal of 1H before and 1H after the horizontal period where dropout occurs. The dropout compensation circuits can be simplified since the luminance and chrominance signals are processed by separate circuits.

Abstract: 5 n7 An optical pickup is used to optically read recorded information on an optical information storage medium such as a compact disk (20) in a compact disk player, for example. The optical pickup has a beam splitter (2) having a first facet (21) for reflecting a laser beam from a semiconductor laser (1) toward the optical information storage medium. The right beam reflected from the optical information storage medium passes through and is diffracted by the first facet (21) of the beam splitter (2). The laser beam then passes through a second facet (22) of the beam splitter (2), and is then divided by a diffraction grating (3) into a transmitted beam and a diffracted beam that is then guided through an optical waveguide (4). The beam splitter is simple in structure and can easily be manufactured, and hence the optical pickup is relatively small in size. Another optical pickup includes a phase layer (8), a polarizer layer (9), and a diffraction grating (3) in a semiconductor substrate (1). A laser beam reflected by an optical information storage medium is caused to change the phase by the phase layer (8), and passes through the polarizer (9) layer to the diffraction grating (3), which divides the laser beam into a transmitted beam and a diffracted beam. The phase layer (8) and the polarizer layer (9) are fabricated at the same time that the semiconductor substrate (1) is manufactured.

Abstract: A Parallel RISC computer system is provided by a multi-mode dynamic multi-mode parallel processor array with one embodiment illustrating a tightly coupled VLSI embodiment with an architecture which can be extended to more widely placed processing elements through the interconnection network which couples multiple processors capable of MIMD mode processing to one another with broadcast of instructions to selected groups of units controlled by a controlling processor. The coupling of the processing elements logic enables dynamic mode assignment and dynamic mode switching, allowing processors operating in a SIMD mode to make maximum memory and cycle time usage. On and instruction by instruction level basis, modes can be switched from SIMD to MIMD, and even into SISD mode on the controlling processor for inherently sequential computation allowing a programmer or complier to build a program for the computer system which uses the optimal kind of parallelism (SISD, SIMD, MIMD). Furthermore, this execution, particularly in the SIMD mode, can be set up for running applications at the limit of memory cycle time. With the ALLNODE switch and alternatives paths a system can be dynamically achieved in a few cycles for many many processors. Each processing element and memory and has MIMD capability the processor's an instruction register, condition register and program counter provide common resources which are used in MIMD and SIMD. The program counter become a base register in SIMD mode. In one embodiment all instruction registers are coupled to form a common broadcast path, and in an alternative embodiment, the ALLNODE switch is utilized as an alternative path for broadcast to all processors coupled by the interconnection network to be chosen as the system of choice.
