Abstract: A control algorithm controls a coil defrosting cycle on a reversible heat pump by
storing values representing performance of a clean coil, i.e., one with no frost build-up, and
monitoring those values as they evolve over time. The values are used to create a "frost
factor" whose value varies between 0%, signifying a clean coil, and 100%, signifying a
heavily frosted coil. When the frost factor reaches a predetermined value close to 100%, the
refrigerant cycle of the heat pump is inverted (reversed) to achieve coil defrosting.

Abstract: Passive matrix pixelated organic electroluminescent (EL) devices
are fabricated by using a single mask which defines a deposition zone for
depositing an organic EL medium layer and a thin cathode by directing respective
vapor streams towards a substrate in the deposition zone. A cathode bus
conductor is formed over an electrically insulative base layer and at least one
electrically insulative organic cathode bus shadowing structure is formed over the
cathode bus conductor for providing electrical contact between a thin cathode and
the cathode bus conductor in a position where the organic EL medium layer is
spaced from a base of the cathode bus shadowing structure. The electrical contact
is achieved by directing an organic EL materials vapor stream towards the
substrate in a direction substantially perpendicular to the substrate, and by
directing a cathode materials vapor stream towards the substrate under a subtended
angle. An inverted organic EL device is fabricated by providing cathodes on a
substrate, forming an organic EL medium layer over the cathodes, and forming
light-transmissive anodes over the organic EL medium layer with each anode
being in electrical contact with an anode bus conductor.

Abstract: A planar-type magnetron sputtering apparatus capable of
forming a uniform thin coating on the entire surface of a
substrate having a large area is disclosed. This sputtering
apparatus has an insulating target seat, a permanent magnet
closed circuit unit consisting of at least two permanent magnet
closed circuits, and used for applying an electric field to the
target, and a closed circuit moving unit used for continuously
moving the permanent magnet closed circuit unit in one
direction along an elliptical track parallel to the surface of
the target. Due to the movement of permanent magnet closed
circuits in one direction, the magnetron discharge tracks
continuously moves along the target surface in the same
direction. This sputtering apparatus thus allows the target to
be uniformly etched on its surface. It is thus possible to
form a desired uniform thin coating on the entire surface of a
substrate having a large area. This apparatus also improves
the using efficiency of the expensive target to a desired level
of higher than 60 % since the target is uniformly etched on its
surface due to the unidirectional movement of the permanent
magnet closed circuits.

Abstract: A broadcast receiver includes a controller which detects a reception log of a receiving unit and which records the reception log in a reception log memory. The reception log includes at least the reception channel, reception start time, and reception end time. Periodically, for example, once a week, an audience member connects the broadcast receiver to a general-purpose computer. The general-purpose computer transmits the reception log data recorded in the reception log memory, together with a receiver ID written in a ROM, through a telephone line over a communication network such as the Internet. A person who computes viewing/listening information obtains the reception log data and receiver ID from the communication network and computes viewing/listening information such as a program rating. Instead of providing the broadcast receiver with the reception log memory and a computer interface, a removable storage unit with a computer interface can be used.

thereby minimizing or eliminating bubble formation. The inner layer is also formed
using a gettering agent which getters alkaline and alkaline-earth elements while the
inner layer is formed. The alkaline and alkaline-earth elements are gettered on an
innermost portion of the inner layer which is later removed, leaving an inner layer with
relatively few impurities. When used in a CZ-crystal growing process, the inner
surface of the crucible remains smooth and substantially no bubbles grow in the inner
layer.

time and forms fuel vapor  16  near the lip portion  11 . With the expansive flow of the
combustion gas  17  caused by the ignition, the fuel vapor  16  in front of the ignition
position hits the surrounding wall of the cavity  8  and is guided toward the bottom of the
cavity  8 , promoting a vertical vortex. Thus, heat spots do not become large at a certain
site and are extinguished quickly. The generation of NO is suppressed, while the
vertical vortex promotes the after-burning of soot in the combustion gas  17 .

Abstract: A state quantity σ( n ) of a switching function is calculated based on a predetermined target air-fuel ratio  TGABF , a detected air-fuel ratio  AFSAF  detected by a sensor (16), and a state equation derived from a transfer function  Geng ( q ) of a secondary discrete system, representing the correlation between an air-fuel ratio of an air fuel mixture in a combustion chamber (1A) and the detected air-fuel ratio (S14). The air-fuel ratio is feedback corrected by applying a sliding mode control process based on the difference between the target air-fuel ratio  TGABF  and the detected air-fuel ratio  AFSAF,  and the state quantity  σ ( n ) (S14 - S21). The response and robustness of the air-fuel ratio control are enhanced by using a physical model of the secondary discrete system.
