Abstract: Blends are formed with numerous commercially available resins and a comb-shaped polymer ("comb" for brevity) of a macromolecular monomer of a polylactone having terminal vinyl unsaturation so long as the polylactone chains are long enough to be compatible with one of the components to be blended. The comb may be formed with any polymerizable olefinically unsaturated monomer, preferably a vinyl, styryl, or acryloyl monomer. The vinyl unsaturation of the "head" of the macromer of polylactone may be acryloyl, styryl or allyl. The comb is made by a low temperature emulsion or suspension polymerization process. The comb, which has a hydrocarbon backbone and pendant polylactone chains, typically has a number average molecular weight of at least 10,000. A blend of first and second resins which are normally incompatible with each other, is also produced using a comb in which the backbone is compatible with one of the resins. Such blends also result with a synthetic resin and a comb in which the pendant chains consist of a first block which has a polylactone structure, and a second block which has a polyether structure, or vice versa.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device and a method of compensating for a luminance point defect of the liquid crystal display device. After a luminance point pixel is detected, a laser beam (10) is irradiated from an excimer laser oscillator on a portion in the vicinity of a surface of one of glass substrates (2, 27) of a liquid crystal panel (1) on which an illuminating light (40) is incident, the portion being located on the same irradiation path of the illuminating light with the luminance point pixel (5). In this way, the portion (16) is laser-etched, thereby forming a rough surface in the portion. When such a panel is used in a projection device, the light transmitted through the luminance point pixel (5) is scattered and so reduced. Accordingly, the luminance point pixel is inconspicuous against normal pixels (28) around the luminance point pixel (5).

Abstract: A plurality of cartridges each have a specimen tub, a dilution tub and three reaction tubs, and a specimen is placed in the specimen tub in advance. The cartridges are mounted in a rack and set to a cartridge standby section. A specimen dispensing unit distributes the specimen from the specimen tub to the reaction tubs of each cartridge set to the cartridge standby section. Thereafter the cartridges are successively transported independently of one another in selected directions within a three-dimensional space to a first reagent dispensing section, a first reaction path, a second dispensing section, a second reaction path, an unreacted component removing section, a luminescent reagent dispensing section and a hydrogen peroxide dispensing section in the stated order by transport mechanisms provided in the respective sections. Examination processes are carried out with reagents dispensed by reagent dispensing units and through B/F separation by unreacted component removing units. Finally, reaction mixtures are subjected to photometry by a photometric unit in a photometric section, and thereafter the cartridges are transported to a cartridge discharge section. 
     Where an analytical curve correction is effected, a specimen dispensing unit and each of sample cartridges holding sample specimens are moved relative to each other. For example, a first sample specimen placed in the specimen tub of the first sample cartridge is distributed to a first reaction tub of each of three sample cartridges. A second sample specimen placed in the specimen tub of the second sample cartridge is distributed to the second and third reaction tubs of each sample cartridge. A third sample specimen placed in the specimen tub of the third sample cartridge is distributed similarly. The respective sample cartridges are subjected to the examination processes prior to cartridges holding specimens to be examined. A new analytical curve is obtained from the results of examination thereof for use in examining the specimens placed in the cartridges subsequently transported for the examination processes.

Abstract: A level converting circuit for an input clock signal having a relatively low amplitude comprising a level converting circuit for converting the input clock signal to an output clock signal having a relatively high amplitude, the level converting circuit having an input transistor which has a predetermined threshold voltage, and detecting/offsetting circuit for detecting the threshold voltage of the input transistor and adding an offset voltage in response to the detected threshold voltage to the input clock signal and then for providing the offset input clock signal to the level converting circuit. The novel setup performs clock interfacing of a thin-film transistor integrated circuit device represented by an active-matrix liquid crystal display device at a relatively high speed at a low voltage below 3 V for example. This allows to fully cope with a recent trend of ever reducing operating voltage of a CMOS gate array constituting an external timing generator, eliminating necessity for building a pulse amplifier based especially on high dielectric-strength MOS process into the gate array to eventually reduce size of the chip.

Abstract: Tobacco is fed to a cylinder (4) carried by an indexing rotary table (2) which carries the cylinder through four stations in succession. At the second station the tobacco is compacted (by piston 13). At the third station the tobacco batch is transferred to a pressure vessel (14) and is cooled by flowing carbon dioxide gas through the batch. The outlet (32') is then closed and the pressure of the gas is raised to effect impregnation. The initial cooling is such that a controlled amount of carbon dioxide condenses on the tobacco. The pressure is then released and the expansion of the gas and evaporation of the liquid carbon dioxide cools the impregnated tobacco. At the fourth station the tobacco is discharged (17) and is subsequently expanded by heating.

Abstract: A field of application of manually actuable spot-welding guns is the welding together of sheets in vehicle body building. The welding electrodes (18, 19) are to bear with a minimum pressure against the sheets to be joined. To this end, a movement of the welding electrodes towards one another is necessary. Accordingly, the distance between the electrodes must be variable. According to the invention, provision is made for a welding plane (20) lying between the welding electrodes (18, 19) to run approximately perpendicularly to the main extension direction of the electrode holders (12, 13) or to the housing. In addition, one electrode holder (12) can be moved (manually) in its longitudinal direction in the gun housing (11) against a spring pressure and approximately perpendicularly to the welding plane (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vehicular traffic monitoring system incorporates an array of photosensors and a nonlinear resistive network for identifying, locating, and processing outliers in sensor images of a highway or intersection. The camera system can be mounted on a pole or overpass to provide an image of the roadway or intersection. Areas of the outlier network ("video loops") are designated to correspond to selected areas of the roadway. Images are received by the outlier detection network with all data path switches closed between sensor elements and their corresponding network nodes. The system detects the presence of objects in the image by comparing the brightness or intensity of each pixel with that of the background. If the intensity of a pixel is significantly different from the background level, the data path switch corresponding to that pixel is opened. A readout of the state of all the switches in the network yields a map of outlier points for each video frame. The outlier map is connected to a data processing system to identify and locate outlier points in the image. The detection of a threshold number of outliers in a video loop indicates the presence of a vehicle at the corresponding area of the roadway. The processor, having a greatly reduced computational load without extensive image processing, simply measures and transmits traffic data such as the number and speed of vehicles passing through the video loops.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously programming a plurality of antifuses each having a first electrode connected to a common node and each having a second electrode connected to an isolated node electrically isolated from the nodes of each of the other antifuses includes the steps of precharging the common node and the isolated nodes to an intermediate voltage potential selected to minimize the stress on all antifuses; precharging the isolated nodes of selected ones of the antifuses to a first programming voltage potential placing a second programming voltage potential on said common node, the first and second programming voltage potentials selected such that the difference between them is sufficient to cause programming of said antifuses and such that said intermediate potential is substantially centered between them, waiting a predetermined amount of time; and measuring the current flowing between the common node isolated nodes. If the measured current indicates that the desired antifuse has not been programmed the programming process may be attempted a preselected number of times. After the selected antifuses have been programmed, they are individually soaked by passing a soaking current through them.
