Abstract: A radio receiver having a double-balanced mixer stage comprising two pairs of emitter coupled transistors (T1 to T4), the common emitters of each pair of transistors being connected to identical current sources (T5, T6 and T9). A local oscillator signal is applied differentially to junctions (58, 60) of the base electrodes of the first and fourth transistors (T1, T4) and the second and third transistors (T2, T3), respectively. The rf input signal is applied to the common emitter junctions (50, 52) via damping resistors (R3, R4) which are also connected to respective current sources. Outputs from the pairs of emitter coupled transistors are coupled to cascode stages (66, 68). Further damping resistors (R1, R2) are connected between the differential local oscillator input (22A, 22B) and the junctions (58, 60) of the base electrodes. The damping resistors are of a low value typically 25 ohms and serve to stabilise the double-balanced mixer circuit and prevent it from going into oscillation.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé qui permet de coller en surface du papier en ajoutant à ladite surface une composition de collage comprenant de la colle réactive à la cellulose et de la colle non réactive à la cellulose. Ce papier collé est plus efficace en impression à jet d'encre que le même papier traité avec une composition contenant uniquement de la colle réactive à la cellulose ou uniquement de la colle non réactive à la cellulose, lorsque la qualité d'impression est évaluée sur la base au moins d'une propriété liée à la densité optique, la bavure, l'imbibition par capillarité, la rugosité des bords et le dégorgement. Ce papier collé présente également une meilleure adhérence du toner, un coefficient de frottement plus élevé et une amplitude du coefficient de frottement plus faible qu'il n'est le cas avec le même papier traité avec une composition contenant uniquement de la colle réactive à la cellulose. Ce papier s'avère également efficace dans des essais mesurant sa convertibilité sur du matériel de conversion classique et son rendement sur des équipements d'utilisateur final fonctionnant à vitesse élevée.

Abstract: Method for the change of a radio bearer in a digital telecommunication system
comprising a radiomobile unit (PP) and a fixed unit (RFP) connected between them on
at least a bearer in the following, labeled with X. When a radio unit (PP or RFP)
detects a bad connection quality on bearer X between said radiomobile unit (PP) and
fixed unit (RFP), the method applies with the execution in sequence of the following
steps:
   a) listening of a new frequency on at least one of the time slots used in
reception with the purpose to identify a second not interfered bearer, in the following,
labelled with Y;   b) sending from the requiring radio unit to the interacting radio unit a
message requiring the activation of the said second bearer (Y);   c) transferring of all communications between both radio units from the
first bearer X to the second bearer Y as soon as the requiring radio unit receives a
specific confirmation message by the interactive radio unit;   d) return to the listening step if the confirmation message is not received.    
     The invention has the advantage of enabling the handover of a radio bearer
changing only the frequency, but maintaining the same transceiving time slots without
the need of an additional time slot which, in this way, is available for new
communications.

Abstract: A soft gasket material having two opposed facial surfaces and
an edge that is substantially perpendicular to those surfaces
has a coating on the edge. The coating has a thickness length
B which is a distance extending directly from the edge at its
center point to the coat's outer surface. The coating further
covers the edge from side to side and extends past at least
one corner of the edge in a protruding length A which is an
amount that is effective to form a barrier against the passage
of fluids onto the face of the gasket. In coatings where the
protruding length A is not supported by the gasket face, the
ratio of protruding length A : thickness length B must be at
least about 0.8, protruding length A must be a minimum of at
least about 0.1 mm (4 mils), and thickness length B must be a
minimum of at least about 0.08 mm (3 mils). In coatings where
the protruding length A is supported by the gasket face (a
distance C), the ratio of protruding length A : thickness
length B can be at least about 0.6, protruding length A can be
a minimum of at least about 0.08 mm (3 mils), and thickness
length B can be a minimum of at least about 0.06 mm (2 mils).

Abstract: An analytical instrument has a sample handler for inputting racks of containers, including
various types and sizes of test tubes, both capped and uncapped, and inserts, into the instrument
The sample handler has an infeed, an outfeed and a cross-feed between the infeed and outfeed.
The infeed and outfeed advance the racks of containers using walking beam mechanisms which
lift the racks by tabs on the right and left sides of the rack, which are positioned at a substantially
identical height. Racks input into the infeed are transferred by the walking beam mechanism to a
track on the cross-feed. They are then pushed, by a transport subassembly having a platform
with pivotable pusher fingers to cam the rack and to push it in only one direction, from behind
the infeed to a fixed position behind the outfeed. During this transport, the cross-feed maintains
the racks in a vertical position and the racks pass a bar code reader to read bar code labels on the
racks and test tubes and then under an ultrasonic liquid level sensor that takes multiple readings
to determine the types of the containers, whether the containers have caps that need to be
removed, and, if the containers are uncapped, the liquid level of the samples in the containers.
The pusher fingers hold the rack in the fixed position behind the outfeed to allow a robotic arm
on the instrument to retrieve the containers. After the removal of the containers, a tray on the
outfeed walking beam mechanism is used to remove the rack from the cross-feed and transfer it
to the outfeed. The outfeed has detents for holding the racks by the tabs in fixed positions for the
insertion of containers into an available position on a rack. The cross-feed may be transformed
into a bidirectional shuttle to transport containers between a laboratory automation transport line
and the instrument. The sample handler may also have a stat shuttle in which test tubes, inserts,
and other containers, including reagent and diluent packages, may be fed.

Abstract: In a switching power source of the RCC system in which
excited energy, accumulated in a transformer during an on-period
of a main switching element, is outputted to the
secondary side during an off-period, and a ringing pulse,
which appears in a control coil of the transformer upon
completion of the output, is fed back to the gate of the
main switching element through a capacitor used for cutting
a dc so that the main switching element is on-driven, a bias
resistor is interpolated between the capacitor and the gate,
and during the stand-by state, a control transistor is
turned on, with the connecting point between them being
connected to a main power-source line in a low level through
a series circuit consisting of a diode, Zener diode and a
resistor. Thus, a higher charge is allowed to accumulate in
the capacitor, and the ringing pulse is reversely biased by
the charge so as not to cause the re-starting. It becomes
possible to reduce the switching frequency during the stand-by
state in light load, and consequently to improve the
power-conversion efficiency by using a simple construction.

Abstract: To reduce the effects of cross-talk in, principally, a wireline
communication system (10), idle cells usually required for rate adaptation
(32) are substituted by null cells (36) and sequence scrambling (40)
required for data protection and associated with traffic is abandoned in
relation to the null cell. Subsequent modulation (48) of each null cell is
further restricted in the sense that a transmitted power associated with the
null cell is, preferably, minimised. In this latter respect, minimum power is
achieved within a modulation scheme through a two-stage process. First,
a zero level state is selected within a symbol constellation of the
modulation scheme (100), and then a confidence level associated with
recovery of the zero level state is enhanced by always sending zero
values as at least pairs of associated symbols. A receiver (14) then only
interprets incoming data as a null cell or the zero level state when all
associated symbols are recovered as the zero value. Hence, a metric
distance (146) between the zero level state (140) and any other symbol
state (102-132) in the constellation (100) is increased to unity by a multidimensional
presence of the zero level state.

Abstract: A cooking oven having an electric heating element (26) in the bottom for baking, warming and high temperature-self cleaning, and an infrared gas broiler (34) in the top of the oven. The infrared gas broiler is supplied with a fuel gas/air mixture from a venturi tube (40) that uses the stream of fuel gas to draw clean air into the oven from outside the oven. A flue duct (64) is provided in the top rear of the oven for the discharge of the combusted gases but no other opening is provided, such as for secondary air that is normally required for a gas oven. The venturi tube assembly creates a fuel gas/air mixture that contains 100% of the air necessary for full combustion of that gas and a positive pressure for distributing the gas/air mixture through ceramic radiants (36) for combustion to heat the radiants to a temperature for producing the infrared light waves. The positive pressure created within the oven by the gas/air mixture and combustion causes a continual discharge of the hot gases from the oven through the flue duct without a draft normally created by the introduction of secondary air.

Abstract: In a printing apparatus (22) of the present invention, image data divided
into a plurality of pages and supplied from an application program is printed on a roll
of machine glazed paper without any margins set between adjoining pages. This
arrangement enables a large image to be printed on a large-sized printing medium (P),
such as a banner. A printer driver (81) in the printing apparatus sets (22) feeding
amounts of sub-scan according to a selected printing mode. In the case where a
standard printing mode is selected, the printer driver (81) sets feeding amounts to
execute an upper end process and a lower end process with regard to each page. In
the case where a continuous printing mode is selected, on the other hand, the printer
driver (81) maintains a periodic variation of standard feeding amount, except the
upper end process carried out in a first page. When a print head (28) is located across
a boundary between adjoining pages in the course of printing in the continuous
printing mode, print data with regard to the adjoining two pages across the boundary
are output to the respective nozzles (Nz), and specific areas immediately before and
after the boundary are recorded simultaneously by one pass of the main scan. This
arrangement of the present invention effectively prevents banding from occurring in
the vicinity of the boundary.
