Abstract: A ternary signal input circuit includes two inverters
having opposite hysteresis characteristics, respectively,
a NOR gate for producing an output signal indicative of an
inversion of the logical sum of output signals from the
inverters, and a AND gate for producing an output signal
indicative of the logical product of output signals from
the inverters. The ternary signal input circuit, composed
only of digital components, converts a ternary signal
supplied through a transformer into binary signals and
outputs the binary signals. The ternary signal input
circuit has a relatively simple circuit arrangement and
will take up a relatively small area on an LSI chip when
it is incorporated into the LSI chip.

Abstract: A motor comprises a stator which has a plurality of teeth provided with
windings on each of the teeth and a rotor which has permanent magnets inside
the rotor, then the rotor comprises a rotating shaft disposed at the center part, a
rotor core fixed to the rotating shaft, permanent magnet slits formed inside the
outer rim of the rotor core, grooves formed at the walls of the magnet slits, and
the magnets inserted into the magnet slits. Then adhesive layers are formed
in the magnet slits for sticking the magnets to the rotor core. In this structure,
even if the size of the magnet slits and size of the magnet sections are
substantially same, the adhesive remains at the grooves, so that the magnets
are surely stuck to the rotor core. Also, by forming the grooves at the outer
rotor rim side corners of the magnet slits, the magnetic flux short circuit of the
magnets themselves and the possible travels of the magnetic flux into the
adjacent magnets are suppressed. So that highly reliable, high speed rotation
available and efficient motor is provided.

Abstract: In a swing type excavator a horizontal pin 31 as the
coupling point between boom 14 and the swing post 13 is positioned
rearwardly of a swing pin 30 as the swing center
of the swing post 13 away from the front attachment. With
this arrangement, the so-called ultra-small or undercarriage-width
turn is realized without reducing both the side
ditch distance in a side ditch digging condition and the
maximum digging depth in a deep digging posture. Also, a
swing post 13 is attached to an upper structure 11, which
is able to turn within a width of an undercarriage 10, at a
position forwardly and laterally of a cab 12. A front attachment
1, including a bucket 22, an arm 19, an upper boom
17, a lower boom 14 and a cross link 15, is mounted to the
swing post 13. The cross link 15 intersects a line connecting
a coupling point between the upper boom 17 and the
lower boom 14 and a coupling point between the lower boom
14 and the swing post 13, and changes an opening angle between
the upper boom 17 and the lower boom 14 depending on
a vertical tilt angle of the lower boom 14. With this arrangement,
the upper structure including the front attachment
can be turned within the undercarriage width by a simple
construction with no need of using a complex link 
mechanism, and interference between the front attachment
and the cab can be easily avoided when the front attachment
is swung.

Abstract: In a distributed object system, a stable object iterator provides a list of all
persistent objects within a collection of objects. A plurality of iterators are supported in
another aspect of the invention. An iterator associates a label with each persistent
object in a collection of stable objects. The label indicates whether the associated
object was added to or deleted from the collection before or after the inception of an
iterator. Multiple persistent iterators are supported by providing an indication of which
iterators each persistent object is, or is not, "visible" to. Should an element of the
persistent object collection be created after one or more iterators is created, that
element is "invisible" to those iterators. Objects that exist when one or more iterators
are created remain "visible" to those iterators, even if the object is deleted from the
collection while those iterators still exist. The system maintains an indication of all
extent iterators and of maximum and minimum iterator identifiers which respectively
correspond to the most recently created and least recently created iterators.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stripping composition for
removing coatings, in particular organic coatings, from metal substrates
particularly those which are easily corroded or damaged. 
     More particularly the invention is directed to a method of removing an
organic coating, in particular paint, from a substrate comprising a soft metal
eg aluminium, magnesium or zinc, which substrate can be easily damaged or
etched by the effect of water and a strong alkali. 
     The composition comprises a component which penetrates the coating
and swells or solubilizes it; a strong alkali accelerator which breaks down the
coating enabling it to be removed and a coupling agent characterised in that the
component which penetrates the coating and swells or solubilizes it comprises
benzyl alcohol and the coupling agent comprises a glycol, a glycol ether or
mixtures thereof. 
     The method comprises stripping a coating from a metal substrate in a
stripping bath containing water and a stripping composition of the invention
wherein a silicic is introduced into the stripping bath:
   as part of the stripping composition;   as part of a replenishing composition;   by addition together with or 
separately from a strong alkali accelerator using a dis-solution chamber 
through which the stripping composition is pumped or   by dissolving it into rinse water so that water which is carried back
into the bath carries the silicic with it.

Abstract: A voltage regulator with load pole stabilization is disclosed. The voltage
regulator consists of an error amplifier, an integrator which includes a switched capacitor, a
pass transistor, and a feedback circuit. In one embodiment, the integrator circuit includes an
amplifier, a capacitor, and a switched capacitor which is driven by a voltage controlled
oscillator. The voltage controlled oscillator changes its frequency of oscillation proportional
to the output current. In another embodiment, the switched capacitor is driven by a current
controlled oscillator whose frequency of oscillation is also proportional to the output current
of the voltage regulator. When the output current demand is large, the controlled oscillators
increase the frequency which decreases the effective resistance of the switched capacitor
thereby changing the frequency of the zero to respond to the change in the load pole.
Conversely, the effective resistance is increased as the current demand is decreased, also to
respond to the decrease in load pole. The controlled oscillator may be coupled to a current
sensing device that generates a scaled version of the load current and couples to the regulated
voltage output. The controlled oscillator is restricted to operating voltages that are related to
the regulated output voltage and a control current that is a scaled version of the load current.
Consequently, the disclosed voltage regulator has high stability without consuming excess
power.

exchanger (4) via a bypass pipe (7) with a shut-off valve (6), and
temperature sensors (13,14) detect the temperatures of the
refrigerant inflow and runoff port sides of an outdoor heat
exchanger (4). In a heating operation mode, when the temperature
of the refrigerant inflow or runoff port side reaches a
certain value or lower that requires defrosting, the shut-off
valve (6) of the bypass pipe (7) is "opened" to start defrosting using
the hot gas bypass defrosting method. The temperature of the
refrigerant runoff port side is detected every specified time
so that if the temperature change rate is less than or equal
to a predetermined value, the shut-off valve (6) is "closed" and
the four-way valve (2) in the refrigerating cycle is switched
to the cooling operation mode side in order to switch to the
reverse defrosting method that allows a hot gas to flow in
the reverse direction from said compressor (1) to said outdoor
heat exchanger (4), thereby enabling the outdoor heat exchanger (4)
to be defrosted promptly.
