Patent EP-0505160-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WATANABE YOSHIO
IPC: H03K3/0232
Filed: 1992-03-18
Abstract: A monostable multivibrating circuit includes: a time constant setting circuit (1) responsive to an input pulse signal (a), for outputting at least one signal (b) having a time constant different from that of the input pulse signal; and an emitter-coupled logic circuit (2) including a first pair of transistors (21), one base receiving the input pulse signal and another base receiving a first reference signal (VR1), and a second pair of transistors (22), one base receiving an output signal of the time constant setting circuit and another base receiving a second reference signal (VR2). The monostable multivibrating circuit outputs a one-shot pulse (c) defined by a pulse starting time corresponding to a change in level of the one base input of the first pair of transistors and a pulse stopping time corresponding to a change in level of the one base input of the second pair of transistors. The one-shot pulse presents "H" level only when the one base input of the first pair of transistors is at "L" level and the one base input of the second pair of transistors is at "H" level. By this constitution, it is possible to determine the number of stages of circuits regardless of the duration of the one-shot pulse and thus facilitate a standardization of the circuit designing. Also, it is possible to reduce an occupation area thereof and decrease a power dissipation thereby.

Abstract: A convergent synthesis of 19-nor-vitamin D compounds, specifically 19-nor-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, is disclosed. The synthesis can also readily be utilized for preparing other 1α-hydroxylated 19-nor-vitamin D compounds. The key step in the synthesis is a suitable application of Lythgoe's procedure i.e. a Horner-Wittig reaction of the lithium anion of a phosphine oxide with a Windaus Grundmann ketone to give, after any necessary deprotection, the desired 19-nor-vitamin D compound.

Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression or course of, colon cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of colon cancer in a symptomatic patient. The course of colon cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.

Abstract: The median value of a set of voltage values is found by a technique that minimizes the circuitry while maximizing the speed, and also provides for dropouts. The voltage values, illustratively five in number (e.g., V₁ ... V₅), are applied in pairs to the inputs of ten comparators (e.g., 100 ... 109). The outputs of the comparators, and their complements, are formed into five "status words" (e.g., W₁ ... W₅) of four bits each (e.g., C₁₂, C₁₃, C₁₄, C₁₅, ... C₅₁, C₅₂, C₅₃, C₅₄), such that each bit of a given status word represents the comparison of a given value with another of the values. status word represents the comparison of a given value with another of the values. The status word that contains two l's and two 0's represents the median value. In a preferred circuit embodiment, this status word is rapidly determined in a series of three logic stages, wherein the highest and lowest values are eliminated in the first stage (e.g., Fig. 2), the next highest and lowest are eliminated in the second stage (e.g., Fig. 3), and the last stage (e.g., 400 ... 404) determines the remaining status word that is associated with the median value. This technique also readily provides for dropouts by initializing the logic circuitry. For example, the fifth status word (associated with the fifth value) is preset to 1111, so that if any single value is not received, the missing value is not chosen as the median. Additional dropouts may be similarly treated to ensure that the median is chosen only from the voltage values actually received. This technique may be used, for example, in a disk drive system, where the position of a servo head must be precisely controlled.

Connected states of a VTR (30), a VTR (40), a VTR (50), a VTR (60), an MDP (70), a tuner (80) and an AV center (100) composing a standard pattern are memorized in advance. A flag (N) representing the non-use is set to an AV equipment (e.g., VTR (60)) that is not used in actual practice of the AV equipments constructing the standard pattern. Therefore, a system in which a part of the AV equipments constructing the standard pattern is omitted can be managed similarly to the system of the standard pattern.

Abstract: The color determination circuit 308 detects hue of the color image information, and the controller 205 decides a color component to be separated (separation color) in accordance with the detected hue. Output color by the printer 204 is set in correspondence with the separation color. The two-color-separating circuit 303 separates the color image information into image information on at least two color components in accordance with the decided separation colors. The separated image information on the each color is transmitted to the printer 204 via printer density correction circuits 304 and 305, and a buffer 306. Thereby it is possible to provide an image processing apparatus capable of setting and changing the separation color and the output color by automatic operation or by simple manual operation, thus the expression of the image forming can be improved.

Abstract: A notebook computer system for docking to a motorized expansion base unit. Before the actual docking event occurs, the notebook computer system communicates with the expansion base unit via a sense signal, which is provided by the notebook computer to indicate the power state of the notebook computer. If the expansion base unit determines that the notebook computer is in a proper state for docking, it activates its motor to load the notebook computer. Once docked, the notebook computer runs a resource conflict check routine to determine if resource conflicts occur. A fatal conflict occurs when the resource requirements of bus devices connected to the expansion base unit conflict with the resource requirements of a video controller or hard disk drive connected to the notebook computer. When such a fatal conflict occurs, the notebook computer issues a software eject request to expansion base unit. In response, the expansion base unit undocks the notebook computer. A non-fatal conflict occurs when the resource requirements of the expansion base unit devices conflict with the resource requirements of PCMCIA cards inserted into the PCMCIA slots of the notebook computer. Unlike the case of a fatal conflict, the notebook computer responds to a non-fatal conflict by disabling the offending devices in the expansion base unit.
