Abstract: The tread of a rib type tire is modified to provide draft angles in lateral grooves (54, 24) of selected ribs (80, 60) to compensate the tire's residual aligning torque (RAT). This allows the vehicle to have straight ahead motion with no steering pull. The draft angles D₁, D₂ are achieved by inclining the radial centerline of the lateral grooves (54, 64) to be sloped forward on one side of the midcircumferential plane. The centerline draft angle results in tread blocks (52, 62) sloped forward and backward during forward motion of the vehicle. The sloping tread blocks (52, 62) produces an effective rolling radius change on selected ribs (50, 60) of the tread pattern. Effective rolling radius of selected ribs is a concept introduced to explain the physical relationships that exist in the contact patch of the tire with the ground surface. The resulting contact change introduces longitudinal tangential stress changes that induce a torque to compensate for the inherent residual aligning torque due to the unmodified tire's construction and tread pattern.

Abstract: In some immunoassays which are carried out in clinical analyzers, the steps are time-consuming and often require batch processing of samples in more than one station. This means that throughput of the analyzer is relatively low. Described herein is an improved analyzer incubator (50) which utilizes two independently driven incubator rings (52, 54). Each ring (52, 54) supports and transports cuvettes (C) containing samples between processing stations of the analyzer. At least one reagent addition station (74, 76) is disposed permanently adjacent each of the two rings (52, 54). Enhanced throughout is obtained using more than one incubator ring (52, 54) compared with an analyzer having only one such ring for all reagent addition stations.

Abstract: It is often desirable to display characters with an edge. According to the invention, this edge is generated using an on-line method in the following way: for each current raster line the preceding and subsequent raster lines are read out in accordance with the desired contour and logically combined by columns, and this logically combined information is delayed in steps by a number of raster dots. The delayed signals are combined in each case according to the desired contour side and width and result in the contour signal after suppression at those points where character information is to be displayed. Any character forms can thus be provided with an optional contour, it being necessary only for these character forms to be stored, without a contour. A description is furthermore given of a circuit arrangement for a simple implementation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To enable wired-OR signal lines to be connected without interlock in a bus linkage unit for connecting the bus of a computer system with the bus of an expansion device or the bus of another computer system through a signal transfer path in which the signal mode is different from those of the buses. 
     A shadow register 46 that acts on the level of wired-OR signal line 51 of the other bus is provided in each system. The level of wired-OR signal lines in each system is sent to the shadow register of the other system through a communication path. When the shadow register of the system is at a predetermined level, said system will not send the level of said wired-OR signal line to the other system. Interlock is eliminated by avoiding repetition of level transfer echoes between both systems in this way.

Abstract: Method and its device for evaluating semiconductor wafers that evaluates semiconductor wafers by estimating the dopant level which is equivalent to the critical value at which the excess minority carrier injection density reaches the high injection state, and that measures the minority carrier lifetime at a low-injection-state exposure condition adapted to said dopant level. 
     Excitation light (emitted by excitation light generator 4) is emitted onto a semiconductor wafer 2 at varying exposure conditions as imposed by an exposure condition controller 9. Detector 6 detects the change in the level of reflected radiation from microwaves emitted by microwave generator 5 onto the wafer 2. The dopant level in the semiconductor wafer 2 is estimated by estimation circuit 10' based on the change in the exposure conditions and the change in the minority carrier lifetime as determined by the change in the microwave level. The minority carrier lifetime is measured by measurement circuit 12 at the exposure condition adapted to said dopant level as detected by exposure condition detection circuit 11. This structure makes possible the estimation of the dopant level in the semiconductor wafer while obtaining the lifetime based on Shockley-Read-Hall statistics, and is thus highly qualified for evaluating the semiconductor wafer 2.

Abstract: The process for producing a thermoelectrically weldable zone in thermoplastic materials is considerably improved by embedding the heating conductor in a geometrically true and air-free manner at a defined depth below the joint surface. For this purpose, in a first process step, a sublevel wire-bed base (2) is cut into the material by cutting, at the desired depth measured from the material surface, using a suitable tool, an essentially inverted T-shaped incision running in two planes and the surface profile is guided following the section along the insertion line of the heating conductor, the cover strips being, by means of the same tool, lifted along the cut path and stretched, as a result of which an open furrow with the sublevel wire-bed base is formed. Preferably, in the same operation, the wire bed (4) is co-cut, using a cutting tool, in a geometrically true manner corresponding to the heating conductor. In a subsequent process step, the heating conductor (5) is inserted through the furrow which is still open and the cover strips (3) are pressed and finally melted. A groove-free, smooth joint surface remains, along which a fine, non-elevated melt scar runs. <IMAGE>
