Title: Weather-resistant polymer alloys
IPC: C08L67/03
Filed: 1990-12-28
Abstract: For optical applications, transparent, amorphous thermoplastics, such as polyaryl ether ketones, are of considerable interest. However, polyaryl ether ketones have inadequate UV stability and weathering resistance, while amorphous polyaryl esters do not have these adverse properties. The properties can be improved by means of polymer alloys, and weathering-resistant materials made from homogeneously mixed polymers comprising at least one amorphous polyaryl ether ketone and at least one amorphous polyaryl ester are thus obtained.

Title: Track counter for optical disk
IPC: G11B21/08
Filed: 1990-01-10
Abstract: The track counter for optical disk in accordance with 
the present invention, that counts the number of tracks a 
light beam passes upon when an optical head moves over an 
optical disk in the radial direction, comprises a passage 
signal generating circuit (6) for detecting based on a 
reflected light of the light beam from the optical disk, 
that the light beam passed upon a track and for releasing 
a passage signal on that occasion, a counter (7, 8) that counts 
the passage signals released by the passage signal 
generating circuit, a count suspending circuit for 
forecasting that the light beam will pass upon a specific 
position of a track and for suspending the count by the 
aforementioned counter of the passage signals during this 
forecasted period, and a count value compensating circuit 
for assuming, when the count of the passage signals is 
suspended by the count suspending circuit, the number of 
tracks the light beam passed upon during that period, and 
for adding this assumed number to the count value of the 
counter. This track counter for optical disk is arranged 
such that it is able to count accurately the number of 
tracks the light beam passed upon even when the light beam 
passed upon the ID sections of a track, or when the 
passage upon a track cannot be detected because of a 
scratch on the surface of the disk or the like. Thereby,  
when the optical head moves and slides, the access speed 
may be enhanced.

Title: Frequency limited resonant regulator
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 1987-12-23
Abstract: In a resonant regulator power supply, a resonant circuit (10) is coupled to a source (S1,S2) of alternating input voltage that is controllable in operating frequency. A power transformer primary winding (W1) is coupled across the capacitive element (CO) of the resonant circuit (10) for generating an output voltage across a secondary winding (W3). A control circuit (50) varies the operating frequency in a negative feedback loop to regulate the output voltage on the positive slope of the frequency characteristic curve. A frequency limiting circuit (60) prevents the operating frequency from passing through the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Process and apparatus for tritium recovery
IPC: B01D59/28
Filed: 1991-04-23
Abstract: The invention provides a new high temperature isotopic exchange fuel processing loop for tritium recovery in which tritium is exchanged out of impurities such as tritiated ammonia, methane and water by swamping with H2 and isotopically equilibrating the mixture in a high temperature reactor. Downstream of the reactor is a Pd/Ag permeator for separation of the hydrogen from the impurities, the separated hydrogen being sent to an isotope separation system for tritium recovery and the residual impurities being recycled. The process eliminates the need for impurity oxidation and electrolysis of DTO and does not rely on complicated catalytic decomposition reactions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A misfire detection method is provided. which
method makes it possible to accurately detect the
occurrence/absence of misfire by eliminating a
detection error in misfire detection, which error is
caused by a vibrational increase or decrease of the
rotational changing rate of a crankshaft after a
misfire state occurs, and which method does not
require any special hardware for that purpose. A
processor, which receives pulse outputs from a crank
angle sensor. calculates in sequence angular
accelerations Dω n-2 , Dω n-1 , Dω n , and Dω n+1  in
crank angle areas which correspond to a preceding
cylinder, two cylinders checked for misfire, and a
succeeding cylinder, respectively. If the values
Dω n-1  and Dω n  significantly decrease in comparison
with the values Dω n-2  and Dω n-1 , respectively. then
it is tentatively determined that misfire has occurred
in both cylinders checked. Then if the value Dω n+1 
significantly increases in comparison with the value
Dω n , then the restoration to the normal combustion
state is confirmed, and the occurrence of misfire in
the two cylinders checked is definitely determined.
