Abstract: In a device (10A) for applying soft-elastic grommets on electric cable ends, in particular for plug elements protected against moisture, a sorting conveyor (11) is provided which feeds up the particular grommet in the vertical position of its longitudinal central axis. Adjoining this sorting conveyor downstream of the conveying flow is a conveying device (20; 23) which moves each grommet into a horizontal assembly position of its longitudinal central axis. The grommet is received in this assembly position by a sleeve-type tool (20), which has the same axis and serves the temporary centring reception of the insulated or stripped cable end, and/or by a centring mandrel (23). Moreover, a jaw-type tool (31) having at least two gripping jaws is provided, which grips the grommet and holds it fixed in space. The jaw-type tool (31) holds the grommet during the translatory introduction of the cable end into position. A reliable, quick mode of operation is achieved because the sleeve-type tool (20) and/or centring mandrel (23) are simultaneously constructed as a conveying device. These pass on the respective grommet following the sorting conveyor (11) in the horizontal assembly position of the longitudinal central axis of the grommet to the jaw-type tool (31). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for checking the input-output characteristic of a neural network which has an input layer, an intermediate layer and an output layer. Plural nodes of the input layer are related to plural nodes of the intermediate layer with plural connection weights while the plural nodes of the intermediate layer are also related to plural nodes of the output layer with plural connection weights. One of the nodes of the input layer is selected as a variable input element while the rest of the nodes are regarded as fixed input elements. A variable data input to the variable input element is varied within a predetermined variation range, while data input to the fixed input elements are fixed, so as to detect how the components of output data from the output layer change. The detected changes of the components of the output data are displayed as the input-output characteristic of the neural network.

Abstract: The invention provides a thermal printer with a removable print head unit (14) having a multitude of very small resistance heating elements (34-1...,34-n) for printing small dots or pixels (e.g., 300 pixels per inch) of an image. Minor variations in the printing characteristics of the multitude of individual head elements are electronically compensated for to achieve uniform print densities for that head unit (14). Print compensation data in the form of correction numbers respective to each resistance element of the print head are permanently stored in a low cost device, such as an electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), which is furnished as an integral part of the removable head unit (14). Each such head unit is uniquely calibrated by its permanently stored correction numbers to achieve uniform printing action so that for all intents and purposes all such head units perform the same in any printer. Any head unit may be operated in a given thermal printer without further adjustment to the printer. When the printer is powered-up, the correction numbers unique to the head unit (14) then installed in the printer are automatically loaded into the high speed memory and compensation circuits of the printer. This arrangement greatly simplifies the replacement of the head unit of a printer in the field.

Abstract: An amplifier (10) has at least several stages activated only to one of two bi-level states controlled in response to the value of an input source exceeding a threshold for each stage (40). Each stage (40) has a different threshold. The thresholds and source are arranged so that the stages change between the bi-level states as the value of the source changes relative to the thresholds of the different stages. Bi-level outputs of the stages are summed together. The values of the thresholds are continuously varied by a small amount relative to a predetermined maximum value for the source in response to a noise source that is independent of the signal source. A power supply for the stages includes an AC-DC converter having plural primary windings (48, 50) and several secondary windings (52.2 ... 52.(M-2), 52.(M)), one for each of the stages. The windings are coupled together so that at all times loading of the primary windings by the secondary windings as a result of activation of the output stages is approximately equal. The stages (40) are controlled so that the sum of the outputs of the stages remains a predetermined function despite one or a few of the stages failing.

Abstract: This invention relates to an actuator which changes its length without changing its width or breadth dimensions. Four shear electrodeformable bodies 4 are placed symmetrically on two faces of a central electrode 6. Each body also has a connecting electrode 8, attached to the electrodeformable body, thus forming a tetramorph which is the basic building block of the actuator. Each connecting electrode allows the tetramorphs to be attached to each other in layers and stacks to the desired dimensions of the actuator. Two of the electrodeformable bodies in the top half of the tetramorph are polarized to shear in one direction and the two electrodeformable bodies in the bottom half are polarized to shear in the opposite direction. If the shear in the electrodeformable bodies is up and down the tetramorph acts as a litter. If the shear in the electrodeformable bodies is sideways the tetramorph is a tangenter or axier.

Abstract: In a digital VTR that carries out magnetic recording and reproduction by bit rate reduction coding a digital video signal, a fixed length block is formed by controlling the code amount of a large block including a plurality of small blocks located distant from each other on a screen at the time of recording. The fixed length block is divided into a plurality of recording blocks so that the main components of respective small blocks are included separately on the recording blocks, whereby error correction is applied to form a plurality of error correction blocks. The error correction blocks are rearranged so that recording blocks including the main components of small blocks adjacent on a screen are also adjacent on a recording medium. Thus, the possibility of deviation in the information amount of each large block is suppressed to improve efficiency of bit rate reduction coding, and to obtain a high speed reproduced picture of high quality.
