Abstract: An LD light-emitting circuit (2) comprises an analog multiplexer (MP) having a plurality of switches, and resistors (R7, R8, R9 and R10) connected to these switches. When the temperature is not higher than normal temperature, the resistor (R7) is connected so that the amount of light emitted from the LD (1) is maintained constant. As the temperature rises, however, the resistor (R8, R9 or R10) having increasing resistance is connected in response to a signal from a control circuit, in order to decrease the driving current that flows into the LD (1). This enables the LD (1) to suppress its own heating and to lengthen its life.

Abstract: An electric motor has a stator(17) fastened to a thermally conducting flange(17). The rotor (1)runs outside the stator and has a smooth surface. Joined to the flange is a cooler (3) made of thermally conducting material which partially surrounds the rotor (ie, in a sector) leaving a very small airgap of about 400 microns. Thus the airflow through this gap removes heat from the stator. The cooler is at least a quarter, and preferably at least half, the length of the rotor. It may extend the whole rotor length. It has ribs on both sides, leaving peripheral air channels. The airgap widens near the ends of the sector over which the cooler extends.

Abstract: A computer system includes a computer (30) having an event detecting interface (25) for detecting when an event occurs. Based on the occurrence of the event, a keyboard assignment scheme is dynamically reconfigured to an appropriate configuration. The computer also includes a user interface (70) for sensing when a key combination of at least one standard key (12) and a non-standard key (15) of a keyboard is depressed and a look-up table for storing a plurality of key combinations and one or more applications corresponding to each key combination of the active configuration. A non-standard key application control (50) in the computer determines the application corresponding to the depressed key combination according to the active configuration. If the depressed key combination corresponds to one application, the non-standard key application control launches the application via an application program interface (65). If the depressed key combination corresponds to a plurality of separate applications, the user is presented with a pop-up list to select an application for launching. In addition, the user can define the available configurations by communicating with the non-standard key application control via user dialogs to add or edit configurations thereby selecting the applications launched when a key combination in the defined configuration is depressed.

Abstract: A system for delivering packetized data in a network dynamically assigns a unique address to a mobile unit, allocates bandwidth within a wireless link by a token scheme and provides forward error correction for the packet. The system has a means for wirelessly transporting the packets between a base station and an end point which is responsive to a link cell for linking the base station and the end point. The link cell contains a header and a body. The header in turn contains a forward error correction code, a radioport id and a token. The forward error correction code provides error detection and error correction that relies solely on a one-way communication of data bits from a sender to a receiver. The radioport id is a logical id assigned such that each radio-port in a vicinity has a unique id. The token enables the wireless transportation over a selected channel of the packets between the base station and the end point. The token is utilized to allocate the selected channel from a plurality of channels. A method is also described for delivering packetized data between an endpoint and a base station.

Abstract: To process bit maps for full color and other data-intense bit maps for printing, a data processing route determines if a block of data within a page is not in color or is otherwise in a single value. Such data is stored in DRAM (28) in one bit per pel form. Other blocks are stored with eight bits for each pel. A able is then developed defining the contiguous order in a page. An ASIC (32) then transfers the pel information in order of printing to a video RAM (40) with the eight bits restored for data stored in one bit per pel form. The data applied to that ASIC is decompressed.

Abstract: To prevent an insufficient engagement of electrodes. 
     A breaker device according to the invention is excellent in safety because of its construction in which a conductive path is located inside the casing 1 and is allowed to have a compact configuration of particularly low height because a handle 40 can be inclined to its resting position. When the handle 40 is inclined to the resting position while a movable electrode 31 is insufficiently engaged, engaging portions 77 come into contact with receiving portions 75 and a lever action works with the contact positions of the engaging portions 77 and the receiving portions 75 as a fulcrum. As a result, a rotating force applied to an operable portion 40A is translated into a downward acting engaging force applied to the movable electrode 31 via rotation center shafts 45 and a mount body 35. In other words, since the movable electrode 31 is brought into its properly engaged state by inclining the handle 40 to the resting position, the insufficient engagement of the movable electrode 31 can be prevented.
