Abstract: A system is disclosed for positioning an electronic test head with respect to an electronic device handler. The positioner assembly includes separate locks which allow the test head to move vertically while preventing rotation of the test head about the main shaft. Thus, the test head can be aligned with the device handler, moved vertically away from the device handler while adjustments are made, and easily realigned with the device handler after adjustments have been completed. Alternatively, the separate locks allow the test head to rotate about the main shaft while preventing movement along the main shaft. Thus, the test head can be aligned with the device handler, rotated about the main shaft and away from the device handler while adjustments are made, and easily realigned with the device handler after adjustments have been completed. An index pin allows the test head to be rotated from an initial position to a temporary position and then rotated from the temporary position back to the initial position without requiring realignment of the test head relative to the device handler. The system includes a projected cradle assembly which allows the heavy test head to be projected above or below a physically large handler while still pivoting the load of the test head with its cable assembly at its center of gravity.

Abstract: In soliton optical fiber communication systems that comprise a multiplicity of spaced-apart intermediate non-electronic amplifiers, pulse arrival time jitter can be substantially reduced by incorporation into the transmission path of spaced-apart bandwidth-limiting elements. Exemplarily, the bandwidth-limiting elements are optical filters of bandwidth B f , with a filter associated with each intermediate amplifier, and with B f  chosen to fall within the range B sol (N f /3) 1/2 , where B sol  is the FWHM spectral width of the soliton pulses, and N f  is the number of intermediate filters in the system. More generally, the bandwidth-limiting elements are selected such that <δt²>, the variance of the jitter, is at most 90% of the variance associated with an, otherwise identical, comparison system that does not contain the bandwidth-limiting elements. Systems according to the invention thus can overcome the Gordon-Haus limit (in the bit rate/distance product.

Abstract: In a computing system of the type which executes instructions having the form A op B = B, a floating point register includes a plurality of addressable storage elements for storing operand data. A first address receiving circuit receives the B operand address from a first instruction, and a second address receiving circuit receives the A operand address from the first instruction. The A and B operand addresses are each used for addressing one of the plurality of floating point register storage elements. An instruction executing circuit performs a function designated by the first instruction on the operand data output from the floating point register and generates result data. The instruction executing circuit includes an exception circuit for generating exception data indicating whether an exception occurred when the function was performed. A shift register has a plurality of storage elements for storing address and control information. A first address storing circuit stores the B operand address in a selected one of the plurality of shift register storage elements, and a shift register output circuit outputs the stored first instruction B operand address at approximately the time the result data corresponding to the first instruction is generated by the instruction executing circuit. A floating point register storage control circuit stores the result data corresponding to the first instruction in the floating point register storage element addressed by the stored first instruction B operand address as long as no exception occurred when the function was performed. However, the floating point register storage control circuit inhibits the storage of the result data in the floating point register when an exception does occur so that the old B operand value is not destroyed by a probably erroneous value. An operand queue includes a plurality of storage elements for storing A operand data output by the floating point register, and a trap queue includes a plurality of storage elements for storing A operand data corresponding to an instruction which generated exception data, and A trap queue data storing circuit stores the A operand data output from the operand queue into one of the trap queue storage elements whenever an exception is detected. The instructions which were executing when the first exception is detected are allowed to complete.

Abstract: Two new classes of interconnection networks are described. The new classes of interconnection networks are referred to herein as the hierarchical shuffle-exchange (HSE) and hierarchical de Bruijn (HdB) networks. The new HSE and HdB networks are highly regular and scalable and are thus well suited to VSLI implementation. In addition, they can be adjusted to match any set of packaging constraints. These new networks are also efficient in supporting the execution of a wide range of algorithms on computers whose processors are interconnected via one of the networks fabricated in accordance with the teachings of the invention. Such computers, also contemplated by the invention, are referred to herein as HSE and HdB computers. Furthermore, methods for implementing the aforementioned wide range of algorithms, particularly those in the classes of Ascend and Descend algorithms, on the novel HSE and HdB computers, constitute a further aspect of the invention.

Abstract: A disk drive in which the disk spindle motor for a rotatable recording/reproducing media has a printed circuit stator winding (9b1) on a printed circuit board (9b3) within the disk drive housing (1) fitted between axially spaced circular flanges (9a4, 9a5) of a bobbin-shaped motor rotor (9a). Alternately poled, equally circumferential spaced, axial magnetic fields between the axially spaced circular flanges link radially disposed printed circuit winding sections (9b11). Electronic elements (15d-17) on the printed circuit board (9b3) are linked internally of the housing with the magnetic head (5b1) and the actuator motor winding (5e1) which powers the actuator (5) for moving the magnetic head (5b1) to different radial locations on the rotatable media (7a). Bi-polar energization of the stator winding (9b1) of the disk spindle motor (3) is under the control of a commutating circuit (9b4) controlled by a Hall sensor (9b18) linked by the axial permanent magnet fields. Motor speed control is achieved by controlling the voltage level of the commutating circuit (9b4) or by controlling the duty cycle of the voltage coupled to the stator winding (9b1). The disk drive design integrates the printed circuit assembly (9b3) with the disk spindle motor (3) and the electronics (15d-17) of the printed circuit assembly (9b3) within the disk drive housing (1) which reduces the disk drive profile and eliminates elaborate feed through connections with an external printed circuit assembly. The use of an axial gap disk spindle motor (3), integrated with a disk drive base (1), and provided with a printed circuit winding (9b1), reduces the disk spindle motor profile and brings the printed circuit assembly (9b3) inside the disk drive housing, eliminating the additional increment of the profile normally consumed by the printed circuit assembly. These cumulative reductions in structural profile reduce the overall profile of the memory disk structure in the disk drive, increasing the mechanical volumetric efficiency of the disk drive.

Abstract: The compression apparatus is intended for creating a bloodless condition in the extremities during surgical interventions or for intravenous local anaesthesia with the aid of a compression cuff that can be applied to the extremities and can be exposed to a pressure medium. A controllable pressure control valve (4) for the pressure medium is used to adjust the compression pressure in the compression cuff. The blood pressure value measured continuously by an automatic blood pressure instrument (12) causes a blood pressure-dependent control signal for the pressure control valve (4) in a control unit (14), so that the compression pressure in the compression cuff changes correspondingly when the blood pressure value changes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When a lighter is not in use, a push-down member (41) is kept positioned on one  end side of a lift-up lever (27) and has a lower end abutting against a lighter body (1) to  set a locked state to restrict a push-down action. As the push-down member (41) is  moved along the lift-up lever (27) toward the other end thereof, the locked state is  released and the position of that movement of the push-down member (41) toward the  other end of the lift-up lever (27) is maintained by its relationship with respect to the  lighter body (1) or the lift-up lever (27). When the push-down member (41) is then  pushed down, the lift-up lever (27) is rotated to open the valve means (9,15) and ignition  means (17, 21, 25) is activated at a same time to ignite the fuel injected through the valve  means (9,15). When that downward action of the push-down member (41) is released, the  push-down member (41) moves upward to the original state while moving toward the one  end of the lift-up lever (27) returning by the urging force of an elastic member (13) along  the lift-up lever (27). Therefore, releasing of the locked state and ignition can both be  accomplished merely by manipulating a single operating member, namely, the push-down  member (41), and after the ignition, the push-down member (41) automatically returns to  the locked state. It is therefore possible to significantly improve the operability of the  lighter without deteriorating the safety function of its safety device.

Abstract: In phase difference detecting method, circuit, and apparatus of the present invention, a voltage signal having a predetermined frequency is applied to a photoconductive light-receiving device (110), and an optical signal is received by this photoconductive light-receiving device. A current generated upon reception of light and flowing in the photoconductive light-receiving device reflects a product value of the voltage signal and the optical signal, and contains a DC component according to a phase difference between the voltage signal and the component of the optical signal having the same intensity modulation frequency as that of the voltage signal. A time average value of the current flowing in the photoconductive light-receiving device or a voltage value obtained upon conversion of this current is generated, and only the DC component is extracted, thereby detecting the phase difference between the voltage signal and the component of the optical signal having the same intensity modulation frequency as that of the voltage signal.
