Abstract: In the processing and application of cyanoacrylate adhesives, in particular in the application of such an adhesive to surfaces to be bonded, the adhesive can polymerise in an undesired manner both to the surfaces to be bonded and to cannulas (hollow needles) or valves intended for adhesive dispensing, so that the adhesive dispensing or the bond surfaces are adversely affected. It is proposed to passivate essentially all parts which come into contact with the cyanoacrylate adhesive in an acidified solvent before they are brought into contact with the adhesive for the first time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high performance shared cache 100 is provided to support multiprocessor systems and allow maximum parallelism in accessing the cache by the processors 3, servicing one processor request in each machine cycle, reducing system response time and increasing system throughput. The shared cache of the present invention uses the additional performance optimization techniques of pipelining cache operations (loads and stores) and burst-mode data accesses. By including built-in pipeline stages, the cache is enabled to service one request every machine cycle from any processing element. This contributes to reduction in the system response time as well as the throughput. With regard to the burst-mode data accesses, the widest possible data out of the cache can be stored to, and retrieved from, the cache by one cache access operation. One portion of the data is held in logic in the cache (on the chip), while another portion (corresponding to the system bus width) gets transferred to the requesting element (processor or memory) in one cycle. The held portion of the data can then be transferred in the following machine cycle.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed which are simplified in their constitution and capable of forming a strip material 58 that is inexpensive and yet of high quality by joining one on the other first and second strips 25, 41 shifted from each other in the lengthwise direction. During the joining the second strip 41 with the first strip 25, the second strip 41 is pulled by the transfer conveyor 11 and thereby drawn from the supporting means 42 and then fed to the transfer conveyor 11, and by virtue of this, the feed rate of the second strip 41 is identical to the traveling speed of the transfer conveyor 11 (the transfer speed of the first strip 25), thus leading to enhanced quality of the resulting strip material 58. In addition, since the transfer means 51 and the transfer conveyor 11 are required to be controlled only in timing of actuation, a controlling means therefor may be simple.

Abstract: The evaporative emission control system in the present invention is equipped with a fuel tank and a canister connected to the fuel tank, and a pressure sensor connected to the canister and the fuel tank via a three-way switching valve. The pressure sensor can be selectively connected to the canister and the fuel tank by switching the position of the three-way switching valve. The control circuit, which may consist of a known type of microcomputer, detects failures in the system based on the smoothed pressure values of the canister and the fuel tank. The smoothed pressure value is obtained by smoothing fluctuations of the pressure detected by the pressure sensor. Since the characteristics of the fluctuations of the pressure in the canister and the fluctuations of the pressure in the fuel tank are different, the control circuit changes the degree of smoothing fluctuation when obtaining the smoothed pressure value of the canister and when obtaining the smoothed pressure value of the fuel tank.

Abstract: The invention provides an optical fiber amplifier which assures stable operation of a pump light source and efficiently makes use of residual pump power to achieve improvement in conversion efficiency. The optical fiber amplifier includes a rare earth doped fiber (1). Pump light from a pump light source (2) is introduced into one end of the rare earth doped fiber (1) by way of a first optical coupler (3-1), and residual pump light originating from the pump light and arriving at the other end of the rare earth doped fiber (1) is demultiplexed by a second optical coupler (3-2) and then reflected by a reflecting mirror (4) so that it is introduced back into the rare earth doped fiber (1) or applied to the loss compensation of a dispersion compensating fiber by Raman amplification. The residual pump light introduced into the rare earth doped fiber (1) is intercepted, after passing the rare earth doped fiber (1), by an optical isolator (5) so as to prevent unstable operation of the pump light source (2) which may otherwise be caused by the residual pump light admitted into the pump light source (2).
