Abstract: A process for producing 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutanoic
acid which includes conducting
hydration and successive hydrolysis of 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile
in a reaction system containing
2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile and sulfuric acid,
ammonium bisulfate being added to the reaction system at
the time of the hydration and/or the hydrolysis,
acquiring 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutanoic acid from the
resulting organic layer, adding a water-miscible organic
solvent to the by-produced aqueous layer to deposit
ammonium sulfate, and separating and removing the
ammonium sulfate from ammonium bisulfate, thereby
permitting recycling and reusing of ammonium bisulfate,
reduces the amount of sulfuric acid used, produces
substantially no waste water containing sulfates and is
of a low production cost and environmentally friendly.

Abstract: A postal scale system is updated, by telephone or other communication
medium, by a remote service provider whenever postal rates or regulations are
changed, without requiring shipment or replacement of IC chips. The system
provides for remote updating of both application software and databases such
as rates, zip codes and the like. By having direct communication between the
provider and the postal scale, the invention permits relevant data, including
scale model number, software version number and the like to be accessed by
the provider, thus to update the service provider's database and to provide
updates only to the correct systems. The inventive system further uses
automated telephone billing, available as 1-900 service, thus to reduce expenses
and errors associated with billing for update services.

Abstract: A system for providing synchronization and
information exchange in a network such as a digital
television broadcast network using a network
management operations and control paradigm. A
management entity component, such as a computer
workstation operated at a control center, coordinates
the actions of different agent components, such as
hardware used at the headend or uplink site of a
television network. The agent components are used to
provide conditional access to a television signal by
inserting conditional access data into the
transmitted programming. Management information
bases (MIBs) are provided for the agent components
and the management component. The agent components
update their MIBs with information of the
communication network, such as changes in a
television event schedule. The management component
periodically reads the agents' MIBs to obtain the
updated information and store it in its own MIB. The
management component provides information to the
agents' MIBs according to the updated information
obtained from the agents to synchronize the insertion
of data into the digital broadcast data stream by the
agents.

Abstract: An electrical input buffer circuit is provided for receiving an
input signal such as an electronic spark timing signal and providing an output
signal despite the presence of noise. The input buffer circuit receives a
control signal and a reference voltage signal, and the voltage potential
therebetween provides a differential input. A voltage divider network is
coupled between the inputs for producing a first voltage potential and a second
voltage potential in response to the differential input. A differential pair of
NPN type transistors compares the control signal to a threshold value. The
input buffer circuit produces a output high or low signal as a function of the
input control voltage and is allowed to operate above and below local ground.

Abstract: There is provided an ASK modulator which can obtain the
Errorless ASK modulated signal even if the ringing phenomenon
is generated when the digital signal changes to the logical
low level from the logical high level. 
     The ASK modulator comprises a switching diode (1)
connected in series to a carrier signal transmitting path, a
first resistor (4) connected between one end of the switching
diode and a digital signal input end (9) and a second resistor
(10) connected between one end of the switching diode and the
reference voltage point. The digital signal to be applied to
the digital signal input end is divided by first and second
resistors and the switching diode is turned ON and OFF to
generate the ASK modulated signal with the logical level of
the divided digital signal. In this case, the switching level
of the switching diode rises substantially to prevent that the
switching diode turns ON by the ringing phenomenon.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus is comprised of a generator
11 in which a voltage is changed as time elapses, a booster
circuit 12 for boosting an output voltage of the generator
11, and an oscillator circuit 13 that drives the booster
circuit 12. When the voltage of the generator 11 changes
as time elapses so that the voltage exceeds the minimum
driving voltage of the oscillator circuit 13, the
oscillator circuit 13 obtains power for starting
oscillation from the generator 11. The oscillator circuit
13 that has started oscillation drives the booster circuit
12 to thereby boost the output voltage generated by the
generator 11. Since the oscillator circuit 13 after
starting oscillation continuously performs oscillation
using the power boosted by the booster circuit 12, even
if the voltage of the generator 11 changes as time elapses
so that the voltage becomes lower than the minimum driving
voltage of the oscillator circuit 13, the voltage can be
boosted to the minimum driving voltage of the oscillator
circuit 13 or higher.
