Abstract: System to extract energy from a flow of fluid by means of a
rotor or propeller (11) connected to means to use and/or
transform the energy to another energy form, the rotor or
propeller (11) being associated with conveyor means (21) to
define a conduit (12) through which the fluid flows, the
system providing a reduction in section of the passage of
the flow of fluid in the conduit (12) from a value (D1) in
correspondence with the inlet into the conduit (12), to a
value (D2)<(D1) in correspondence or proximity with the
position of the rotor or propeller (11), and a rapid
increase in the section of passage immediately downstream of
the rotor or propeller (11) from the value (D2) to a value
(D3)>(D2), the reduction in section upstream of the rotor or
propeller (11) entailing the concentration of a large
section of flow in a reduced section, the rapid increase in
the section of passage in the area downstream of the rotor
or propeller (11) entailing an increase in the impact
section of the fluid in transit, with a corresponding
reduction in the speed.

Abstract: The switch includes a main store control unit with at least one comparator unit (2-5) which is arranged in front of the main store. The comparator acts with a counter (1) and a control logic so that when a predetermined threshold (Ldisc) for the fill level of the main store is obtained a predetermined number of connections (VC) are defined based on the sequence of arrival of ATM cells assigned to the connections. Each ATM cell of a packet belonging to the connection value to be defined is erased before arrival in the main store. Preferably, the comparator is connected with an erasure table (15) which includes the connection identifications of the frames to be erased. The erasure table activates the erasure of each arriving ATM cell whose connection identification is stored in the erasure table.

Abstract: A computer system architecture is described for providing increased
performance in a counterflow pipeline processor. The system includes an instruction
fetching unit, a register file, and a pipeline connected between the instruction fetching unit
and the register file. The pipeline is formed from a group of sequential stages. Each
stage in the pipeline includes a first instruction register for storing a first instruction, a
second instruction register for storing a second instruction, and a first results register for
storing results. The instructions are transferred in a first direction from stage to stage,
and results are transferred in an opposite direction from stage to stage. The registers for
the instructions include an operand field, a first source field for the operand, a second
source field for the operand, and a destination field. Each of the fields itself includes a
register name, a value, and a validity bit. In operation instructions and results pass each
other in the pipeline and the results of execution of the instructions are transferred to the
register file and to the results fields. In another approach to providing improved
performance plural pipelines are employed, individual ones of which may have multiple
instruction registers therein.

Abstract: A semiconductor IC device 100 comprises an active
area 102 including a plurality of unit cells 101a and 101b,
and a plurality of electrodes 103 disposed in a zigzag
fashion along the periphery of the active area 102.
Signal I/0 electrodes 103a are disposed on the first row

and ground electrodes 103b and 103c are alternately
disposed on the second row of the zigzag electrode
arrangement. Owing to this constitution, power supply
and ground electrode 103b and 103c may exist separately
from signal I/0 electrode 103a, so that a sufficient
number of power supply and ground electrodes 103b and 103c
can be secured even in the case that all of available
signal I/0 electrodes 103a are fully used for maximum
operation of the circuit portion (active area) 102.

Abstract: A circuit breaker (1,13) includes separable contacts (2,44A,44B,44C) for
movement between a closed position and an open position, and an operating mechanism
(3,42) for moving the separable contacts (2,44A,44B,44C) between the closed and open

trip unit (5,12) employs those signals corresponding to the electrical conditions to produce
a trip signal (6,40,49). A trip coil (7,41) employs the trip signal (6,40,49) to actuate the
operating mechanism (3,42) to move the separable contacts (2,44A,44B,44C) to the open
position. A closing mechanism (8,56) produces a close signal (9,57), and a close actuator
mechanism (10,53) employs the close signal (9,57) to actuate the operating mechanism

unit (5,12) includes a microprocessor-based firmware routine (110) for selectively
enabling and disabling the close actuator mechanism (10,53) as a function of the signals

Abstract: Provided is a release liner formed of a plastic film
having a laminated structure of at least three layers,
described specifically, as two surface layers, (A) a
release functioning layer composed of a polyethylene film
having a density of 0.88 to 0.92 g/cm 3  and a melt index not
greater than 10 g/10 minutes and (B) a surface film layer
having a thermal linear expansion coefficient similar to
that of said release functioning layer and, as an
intermediate layer, (C) a reinforcement layer having a
melting point not less than 120°C. By forming a pressure-sensitive
adhesive layer on the surface of the release
functioning layer (A) of the above-described release liner,
a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be obtained. The
release liner exhibits good release function without using
a silicone-base releasing agent and has heat resistance
sufficient for not causing deformation such as curl even
when heat is applied to the liner.
