Abstract: On décrit une carte à mémoire comprenant une carte à circuit imprimé intercalé entre des protections comportant des bords. Des pattes situées sur un bord d'une protection se loge dans des évidements prévus sur le bord de l'autre protection. Les protections réunies de la carte assurent les niveaux élevés de rigidité qui sont suffisants pour supporter les contraintes de pliage et de résistance à la torsion nécessaires à ce type de carte. Cette carte est donc suffisamment rigide. Elle comporte également un connecteur d'entrée-sortie qui est relié à la terre sans un contact de masse séparé et qui est protégé sur toute sa longueur. Les pattes comportent un élément arqué comprenant une partie saillante oblique médiane qui est en contact avec un épaulement prévu sur l'autre protection à proximité de l'évidement. La carte électronique de cette invention comprend également une carte à circuit imprimé intercalé entre les protections comportant des bords. Les pattes prévues sur les bords d'une protection se logent dans des évidements prévus sur le bord de l'autre protection. Une rigidité appropriée est ainsi obtenue. Une cornière est intercalée entre les protections. Un connecteur d'entrée-sortie relié à la terre sans un contact de masse séparé qui est protégé sur toute sa longueur est également prévu. Cette carte comprend également une protection résistant au gondolage dans laquelle un évidement profond est entouré sur sa périphérie d'une rainure.

Abstract: Distance image outputted from an image processor (20) is read
by a recognition/judgment computer (30), in which the
distance image is divided into strips having a specified
interval and a histogram is prepared for each strip. Based on
the histogram, the position of solid objects and the distance
thereto are obtained and these positional data of the solid
objects are classified into groups of solid object and groups
of side wall. Further, the position of a wall surface forming
a boundary of a road is detected from the data of the groups
of side wall. On the other hand, assuming a wall surface
model composed of a series of nodes, respective nodes are
determined and corrected by the data of side wall. Thus
obtained nodes form a successive wall surface along a curved
road.

Abstract: A shatter-proof fluid sample container adaptable for use with a centrifuge is
provided. The fluid sample container is especially useful for expanding layers of a fluid
sample, such as a blood sample, that form during centrifugation. The fluid sample
container includes at least one fill well, a reagent pellet well including a reagent pellet
containing reagents and dyes, a mixing channel, a distribution cavity which distributes the
fluid to a plurality of expansion cavities, and a float cavity which includes a constant
density precision molded float. As the fluid is centrifuged in the fluid sample container,
the fluid contacts and dissolves the reagent pellet, and flows through the mixing channel
where the material in the reagent pellet mixes with the fluid. The fluid collects in a
distribution cavity until the rotational speed of the centrifuge is increased to impose a
centrifugal force on the fluid sufficient to cause the fluid to flow over a ramped portion
separating the distribution cavity from the plurality of expansion cavities and the float
cavity. The expansion cavities each include a portion having a cross-sectional area smaller
than the cross-sectional area of any other portion of the expansion cavity. The area
having the smaller cross-sectional area has the effect of expanding certain component
layers formed in the centrifuged sample, thus making the boundaries of those component
layers, such as the buffy coat layers in a blood sample, more readily ascertainable and thus
easier to read with an optical reader. The float cavity contains a float having a controlled
density such that it centers itself on the buffy coat region when the blood cells are packed
by centrifugal force. The depth of float penetration into the packed red blood cells is a
function of the RBC density. Since the RBC density is proportional to hemoglobin
concentration, the instrument can calculate % Hg from float depth.

Abstract: A frequency control method in a CDMA communication
system is described that prevents deterioration in
communication quality even in cases in which a mobile station
loses control of transmission power. A mobile station is
determined to have failed when the difference between the
reception Eb/I0 and a reference Eb/I0 exceeds a large
predetermined value, whereupon the base station instructs the
mobile station to turn off its power supply. If the power supply
of that mobile station cannot be confirmed to be off, the base
station instructs the mobile station to change its frequency. If
the frequency change of that mobile station cannot be
confirmed, the base station instructs normal mobile stations
other than the failed mobile station to change frequency.

Abstract: In a quality monitoring apparatus for monitoring the
quality of ATM cells stored in a buffer, a programmable
counter is provided for decrementing a count value in
response to each cell forwarded from the buffer to define a
time window of variable size. Responsive to each cell
discarded from the buffer, a predetermined value is added to
the count value of the programmable counter to produce a
summed value and the programmable counter is updated with
the summed value. A cell loss counter increments its count
value in response to each cell that is discarded from the buffer
within the time window. A decision circuit produces a low
quality signal when the count value of the cell loss counter is
greater than a threshold value.

Abstract: A pipe joint for fiber reinforced composite pipe (10, 13) has internal and
external matching tapers (11, 14) with a low taper angle. A half round helical groove
(16) is formed in each of the internal and external tapers (11, 14) for receiving
several turns of a ductile key (17). Deformation of the key (17) in shear redistributes
longitudinal loads along the length of the pipe joint. The outer member of the pipe
joint (13) has a high stiffness so that internal pressure in the pipe presses the tapered
surfaces (11, 14) together so that the resulting friction enhances the longitudinal load
carrying capability of the joint. High external stiffness may be provided by winding
