Filed: 1993-06-28
Abstract: A mastering apparatus (FIG. 1) which can produce both of a format signal for a compact disk and another format signal for a minidisk is disclosed. Most of components of a mastering processing system for a compact disk are used commonly for another mastering processing system for a minidisk, and an address generator (30) for generating an address upon mastering processing for a minidisk is provided. The operation condition of the address generator is controlled by controlling a digital signal processor (26) of the address generator. When a compact disk format signal is to be produced, the address generator is controlled to a no-operation mode so that the apparatus operates as a compact disk mastering apparatus. On the other hand when a minidisk format signal is to be produced, the address generator is controlled to an operation mode so that the apparatus operates as a minidisk mastering apparatus.

Abstract: A wireless communications system and method for providing simultaneous multi- channel packet data communications to a single user for given services without compromising system performance and efficiency. The system has at least one base station that transmits to at least one of a plurality of receiver stations over a given set of carrier frequencies, wherein each base station keeps of list of optimal frequencies over which a given receiver station would reliably receive data packets transmitted from the base station without the need for an increase in carrier energy. In one embodiment the system maintains a queue for each terminal to which data packets will be delivered. The data packets can be delivered over voice-dedicated and/or data packet dedicated frequencies at one time. In any event, however, when transmitting on voice-dedicated frequencies, the queued data packets are transmitted during voice inactivity periods. In another embodiment, both the base station and the receiver stations or terminals are capable of transmitting different packet data simultaneously over different frequencies.

signals A to F of an optoelectronic scanner (3) in a replay
or recording appliance for replaying from or recording onto
an optical recording medium having the following method
steps: as well as an appliance with a corresponding input
circuit of a digital servo controller: first of all, the

Abstract: A connector system is provided which enables a first connector (12, Fig. 6),
especially a rectangular one, to be quickly mated and unmated from a second
connector device (14), by turning a handle (74) lying rearward of the first connector,
where the handle is readily accessible to turn despite the first connector
lying closely adjacent to other connectors along a row. A bayonet nut (60) lies
between two sets of contacts (16, 18) of a rectangular connector, at the front of
the connector housing, with a shaft arrangement (84) extending rearwardly
from the nut and having a handle (74) that can be turned to turn the nut to
couple to bayonet thread pins (64) of a mating connector device. The shaft
arrangement includes a first shaft (80) that is fixed to the bayonet nut (60) and
a second shaft (82) that is fixed to the handle (74) and that is rotatably connected
to the first shaft but that can be moved rearwardly to move the handle
(74) rearwardly. This allows rearward movement of the handle of a selected
one of a row connectors, to a rearward position (74R) where the handle can be
readily grasped to be turned, instead of being closely surrounded by the handles
of other connectors and/or wires (34). A release/lock rod (100) projects
through and rearward of the handle (74) and can be moved axially to release
the second shaft (82) to move rearwardly and to lock the second shaft in a forward

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass
surrounded by an outer casing glass that includes a spout (14) for delivering core glass from
a first source through a first orifice (24). A second orifice (30) is vertically spaced beneath
and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by an annular chamber (32) that
communicates with the second orifice through a gap between the first and second orifices. A
tube (34) delivers casing glass from the outlet opening (36) of a casing glass spout (38) to the
annular chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity through the orifices from the first
and second sources to form the cased glass stream. A hollow tube (40) within the casing glass
spout is positioned with respect to the spout outlet opening for metering flow of casing glass
through the outlet opening and delivery tube to the annular chamber surrounding the orifices.
The interior of the hollow tube is coupled to a source (60 or 72) of gas under pressure so as
to maintain the tube interior, and the interior of the thin fall of casing glass through the spout
outlet opening, at a pressure above ambient pressure surrounding the casing glass spout. This
elevated gas pressure within the casing glass fall reverses the pressure differential between the
interior and exterior of the spout outlet opening, so that any tendency for air to migrate
through the refractory material surrounding the outlet opening and into the casing glass fall is
eliminated.
