Abstract: Apparatus and method insuring that data objects used to maintain state information for shared data at a local central processing complex (CPC) is coherent with respect to state information maintained at a structured external storage facility (SES) over a link is valid. An error detector is attached to the CPC side of the link for detecting errors on the link, and, when an error is detected, setting a error state pending (ESP) latch to indicate that the link has failed and that the shared data in the local data object may be invalid because a message invalidating the data may not have been received by the CPC. In data processing operations, the ESP latch is interrogated by a central processor in the CPC to determine the health of the message path to the SES facility. A local cache vector reflecting the validity of the shared data in the local cache may then be interrogated to determine if the shared data in the local cache is valid. If a healthy path has continuously existed and the vector indicates that the local cache data is valid, the integrity of the data can be relied on.

Abstract: A serial rate conversion circuit converts the serial rate of a stream of signals, for example, from a SONET overhead data link (ODL) rate of 6.48 Mb/s to and from a data communications channel (DCC) rate of 4.096 Mb/s. The circuit includes a low data flow memory and address select circuit for communicating the stream of serial formatted signals at a low data flowrate and a high data flow memory and address select circuit for communicating the stream of serial formatted signals at a high data flowrate. Clock rate conversion circuitry associates between the low data flow memory and address circuit and the high data flow memory and address select circuit to convert the high data flow serial formatted signals back and forth between the low data flowrate and the high data flowrate while maintaining said stream in a serial format. To provide jitter tolerance during the serial rate conversion process, the high data flowrate frame associates with the low data flowrate frame so that the low data flowrate frame elements are cushioned or buffered by leading and following high data flowrate frame elements.

Abstract: To reduce contraction of the insulation which may occur at an operating temperature of 130°C, the polyethylene that is usually employed for the application of the "Sioplas" cross-linking process is modified with polypropylene (PP). 
     The polypropylene presents a softening point between 155 and 165°C, which guarantees, up to 130°C, the dimensional stability of the extruded material. 
     The mixture of the PP with low density polyethylene (LDPE) or low density linear polyethylene (LLDPE) or co-polymeric polyethylene of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) in an adequate concentration is the solution for the contraction problem.

Abstract: An aqueous ambient dry paint coating based on an addition copolymer matrix polymer containing an oligomer selected from a polyurethane or a polyester having a Tg below -20 o C and a number average molecular weight between 200 and 20,000, where the coating is free of organic coalescing solvents. The matrix polymer comprises emulsion copolymerized ethylenic monomers. In a preferred process, the oligomer is produced by forming an aqueous micro-preemulsion of oligomer in water by high shear mixing of oligomer and water containing 40% to 70% by weight oligomer and at temperatures between about 20 o C and 100 o C to provide an aqueous pre-emulsion having an organic phase droplet size less than 10 microns. The polymeric binder can be produced also by mixing the oligomer with the ethylenic monomers to form an organic mixture of monomer and oligomer, providing an aqueous micro dispersion of the organic mixture phase droplet size less than 5 microns, and copolymerizing the monomer to produce a vinyl acetate polymer containing oligomer. The polymeric binder system is free of coalescing organic solvent.

Abstract: A tube fitting is comprised of a tubular body (1), an annular clamping member (2), a tubular inner pipe (9), a releasing member (70), and a sealing ring (5). The clamping member is disposed axially movably in an axial bore (1A) of the body, and includes a claw (2A) and an outer peripheral portion (2E). The claw has an inclined surface projecting in a centripetal direction as an opening of the body goes away, and engages with an outer peripheral surface of a tube (8) fitted into the axial bore via the opening. The outer peripheral portion contacts with a regulatory surface (3A) of the body, and is pressed in a centripetal direction thereby, and accordingly presses the claw onto the outer peripheral surface of the tube. The inner pipe is disposed in the tube coaxially with an inner peripheral surface of the tube at an end of the tube. The releasing member includes a tubular base (7) and a leading end (4). The base is disposed axially movably in the axial bore on an outer side with respect to the regulatory surface. The leading end extends from the base over the regulatory surface to an inner side of the axial bore, and goes between the inclined surface of the claw and the outer peripheral surface of the tube. The sealing ring seals between an inner peripheral surface (10C) of the axial bore and an outer peripheral surface of the tube fixed in the axial bore.

Abstract: An address decoder has a plurality of address comparator circuits (102,103,104) for respective address areas, each comparator circuit including a base address register (107;111;115), a mask register (105;109;113), an AND gate (106;110;114), and a comparator (108;112;116). An address data (101) outputted from a processor is inputted to the address comparator (102) where the AND circuit (106) takes an AND logic of each bit for the address (101) and an inverted value taken for each bit from the content of the mask register (105) and the result is compared to a starting address of the pertinent address area stored in the base address register (107). If the compared data are in accord, an address decoded signal (117) of "1" is outputted, which indicates that the address (101) is an address within the pertinent address area. The address comparators (103) and (104) function in the same way as the address comparator (102). A priority encoder (120) receives address decoded signals from the plurality of address comparator circuits and outputs a highest priority address decoded signal as a final output when it receives a plurality of in-accord address decoded signals. The address decoder is small in circuit scale and has address area expansion capability.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cold-rolled can steel sheet having less planar anisotropy and achieving good workability. Rough-rolling is first performed on a continuously-cast slab. The slab has a composition essentially consisting of: C: 0.004wt% or lower; Mn: 0.05 - 0.5wt%; P: 0.02wt% or lower; Al: 0.005 - 0.07wt%; N: 0.004wt% or lower; and Nb: 0.001 - 0.018wt%, the rest being Fe and unavoidable impurities. A resultant sheet bar is then subjected to hot rolling which is completed at a finishing rolling temperature at an Ar₃ transformation point or higher. The resultant sheet bar is coiled at a temperature range from 450 - 700°C. Subsequently, the resultant sheet bar undergoes primary cold rolling before continuous annealing, which is performed at a recrystallization temperature or higher, and secondary cold rolling. The primary and secondary cold rolling are respectively performed at reduction ratios satisfying the following conditions of: 
 
       88% ≦ CR₁%+0.36xCR₂ ≦ 105%

Abstract: A battery selecting and charging system forms part of a portable electronic device, preferably a portable medical device. When the device is powered up, a selecting circuit selects one of two rechargeable batteries to power the device until it is depleted, and then automatically switches to the other battery. When the second battery is depleted, both batteries are selected to power the device. When the device is powered down, a battery charging circuit, having both a high and low charge section, provides a high charge to the battery having the greatest terminal voltage. Thereafter, the high charge is applied to the other battery, the low charge is applied to the first battery, and then the low charge is applied to the second battery. The battery charging circuit monitors the terminal voltage to prevent any damage to the batteries or the device.

Further, the canister shields the bumper during full jounce obviating damage thereto. The canister lower end portion has an inturned shoulder from which an inwardly off-set ring depends terminating in an exterior return bent hem flange. The return flange upper free edge is axially spaced subjacent the inturned shoulder providing an external annular groove sized to capture an elastomeric dust shield retaining rib.
