Abstract: In a metal halide lamp which includes a discharge
tube (2) retaining a fill of mercury and at least one metal
halide added as a luminous material, an energy density of the
arc discharge portion (3) represented by a product E × j is
in the range of  70.0 ≤ E × j ≤ 150.0 (VA/mm 3 ) 
where  E=V/d ,  j=I/S , assuming that I is a lamp current in
amperes with a lamp voltage of V volts applied between the
paired discharge electrodes in a stable lighting condition of
the lamp and that each of the electrodes has a tip face (1a,
1a') of which a cut area in section is S mm 2  and the gap
distance is d in millimeters, and thus a high luminous flux
retention rate and high luminance of an arc discharge portion
can be accomplished with a longer life of the lamp, suppressing
a lamp voltage varying rate, avoiding a change in color
temperature, which remarkably improves additional merits when
in utilization as a light source in various display apparatuses
such as optical projection systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to the separation of a high temperature (e.g. 300-1200 DEG C) and high pressure (e.g. 2-20 bar) solids-gas stream from a pressurized fluidized bed reactor into solids and gas while reducing the pressure of both the gas and solids takes place in a vertical de-entrainment vessel (41) having a packed bed (48) of solids within it. The possibility of fluidization of the solids is minimized by causing the velocity of the gas component of the solids-gas stream to be reduced during, or just prior to, introduction of the gas into the packed bed (48) of solids, e.g. by providing an expanding conical end (451, 452, 453) in the inlet (42) for the solids-gas stream into the vessel (41). A gas permeable solids impermeable element (46) may also or alternatively be connected to the inlet (42) and extend toward (optionally all the way to) the side wall of the vessel (41), to substantially prevent fluidization. The fluidization-preventing element (46) may be a perforated plate, ceramic filter, or wire mesh screen, and may have gradually increasing gas permeability from the inlet (42) to the vessel side wall. A number of different inlet flows to the vessel may be provided, and at least one separated gas and solids outlets (441, 442; 43) leads from the vessel (41) to a low (e.g. atmospheric) pressure area. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An enhanced adaptive rate-based congestion control system for
packet transmission networks uses the absolute rather than
the relative network queuing delay as the measure of
congestion in the network. Other features of the congestion
control system include test transmissions only after a
predetermined minimum time, after the receipt of an
acknowledgment from the previous test, or transmission of a
minimum data burst, whichever takes longest. The congestion
control system also provides a small reduction in rate at low
rates and a large reduction in rates at high rates. A
logarithmic rate control function provides this capability.
Rate damping is provided by changing all of the values in a
rate look-up tables in response to excessive rate variations.
Finally, the fair share of the available bandwidth is used as
the starting point for rates at start-up or when a predefined
rate damping region is exited.

Abstract: For establishing a parent-child relationship between adjacent
network nodes interconnected by a transmission medium, a handshaking
circuit comprises a state detector for monitoring the transmission medium
to detect predetermined first and second states and a contention that occurs
when predetermined first states are simultaneously present. A state machine
asserts the first state for initiating a handshaking process and relinquishes
this state when a contention is detected. A receive count value is
continuously incremented from the instant the contention is detected to the
instant the transmission medium changes to an idle state. A transmit count
value is continuously incremented from the instant the first state is detected
to the instant the contention is detected. When the transmit count value is
greater than the receive count value, the state machine asserts the first state
again and when the transmit count value is smaller than the receive count
value, it asserts the second state.

Abstract: A system (UTMS) is disclosed for sending guiding
destination data to a control center and calculating a
recommended route at the control center while taking traffic
conditions into account and presenting the route to a vehicle,
in which a route guidance apparatus promptly obtains the
recommended route. A controller installed on the vehicle uses
data stored in a map data memory to independently search for a
route to a destination, and a UTMS link positioned on the
obtained route is transmitted to the control center as guiding
destination data. Until the search completes, immediately
after the destination has been set, a UTMS area to which that
destination belongs is transmitted to the control center as
temporary guiding destination data. Thereafter, a UTMS link
that appears from the search is transmitted as guiding
destination data. A recommended route is obtained from the
control center even before the search completes, thereby
improving the utilization efficiency of the UTMS.

Abstract: A recording condition control method for an optical
recording apparatus includes: a first step of varying a
light quantity of a light beam or a strength of an
external magnetic field so that a plurality of
predetermined recording conditions are set; a second step
of recording a first test pattern on a first track on an
optical recording medium; a third step of recording a
second test pattern on a second track adjacent to the
first track; a fourth step of reading the first test
pattern on the first track so as to detect a signal
quantity; a fifth step of storing the recording
conditions and the amplitudes by relating them with each
other; a sixth step of searching the signal quantities
stored for one approximating most to a predetermined
value; and a seventh step of selecting the signal
quantity searched out through the sixth step as the
optimal recording condition. By this method, the width
of the record marks is optimally controlled, while
crosstalk occurring between tracks upon signal
reproduction and crosserase (erasure of end portions of
record marks due to effusion of record from an adjacent
track) upon signal recording are minimized. As a result,
it is possible to realize high-densification of tracks.
