Abstract: The invention relates to a waste container, in particular made from stainless steel, whose wall consists of two half-shells (13a, 13b) which are connected at the top by a circumferential rail (19) and, in the first embodiment, are held together at the bottom by one or preferably two reinforcing hoops (17), the reinforcing hoop(s) serving as a securing means for a removable collecting pan (15) which forms the bottom of the waste container, and in a second embodiment the half-shells are tightly bonded, at the bottom, to the bent-over edge (11) of the base (10) made of the same material as the half-shells. The rail (19) is designed as an angled section of metal or plastic whose horizontal leg (19a) serves as a bearing device for the insertion of the waste container into a retaining device, and whose vertical leg (19b) serves as a reinforcement of the wall of the waste container and to receive at least one articulated carrying handle (14) which can be folded against the horizontal leg (19a) and thus serves to fix a waste container bag. The waste container has a circular or square cross-section which preferably tapers somewhat from top to bottom. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The circuit includes: a diode bridge (25) having first and second input terminals (16, 17) and first and second output terminals (15, 18) for rectifying the input AC voltage; two capacitors (26-1, 26-2) serially connected with each other via a mid-terminal (19) while two other terminals of the serial capacitors are respectively connected to the output terminals (15, 18) for smoothing the rectified output from the bridge (25); a first fuse (31) connected between a first input terminal (1) of the power source circuit and the first input terminal (16) of the bridge, or between a second input terminal (2) of the power source circuit and a connection point (22); a second fuse (32) connected between the second input terminal of the bridge and the connection point (22), the current rating of the second fuse being substantially less than that of the fist fuse; and a switch (21) connected between the connection point (22) and the mid-terminal (19). When a first AC voltage, typically 115 volts, is input to the power source circuit the switch (21) is kept closed so as to perform a voltage-doubler rectification, and when a second AC voltage, typically 230 volts, is input to the power source circuit the switch (21) is kept open so as to perform a full-wave rectification, while providing substantially the same DC output voltage.

Abstract: This invention aims at suppressing a parasitic transistor operation of a vertical MOS device at the time of application of a noise current and improving the limitations of withstanding against destruction of the device. P base layers 3 constituting each unit cell of an n-channel DMOS device are partially connected by p extraction regions between the unit cells so as to short-circuit the p base layers to source electrodes 9 in regions Z2 through the extraction regions. Accordingly, an applied noise branches to a conventional path extending from a region Z1 to the source electrodes 9 through an n© source layer 5 and a path extending from regions Z2 to the source electrodes 9 through the p extraction regions 4. Since the p regions form one continuous region throughout the device as a whole, a local potential rise of the p base layer can be limited. Accordingly, the parasitic transistor operation can be suppressed and a breakdown voltage of the device can be improved.

Abstract: A systolized and modular arithmetic device has a control module, followed by a series arrangement of processing module, followed by a tail module. For multiplying an integer P and an integer Q modulo a third integer M, a provisional product is incremented each time with Q for a -1- bit in P, preceding by a doubling of the product. For a -0- bit only the doubling ensues. Normalizing mod M is effected by adding the complement of M, W, under control of propagated carry values. A similar procedure is proposed for exponentiation of Q. ̂F.

Abstract: A programmable controller (PC) which converts PC instructions directly into targeted CPU instructions, not into a macroprogram format, and stores them as an execution file. The PC stores restoration information for ladder display together with the CPU instructions, whereby the number of program steps to be executed is reduced and a ladder display can be provided. The PC also converts PC instructions written in the ladder language into restoration information restorable to the ladder language and generates them as a main processing restoration information file, then converts the PC instructions directly into targeted CPU instructions, not into a macroprogram format, on the basis of the restoration information file, and stores them as an execution file independently of the main processing restoration information file. Also, the execution file for sequence processing is separated from the main processing restoration information file for ladder display, ensuring that processing can be performed much faster without needing to judge whether a step is an execution instruction or display information. The PC incorporates conversion programs and conversion tables for generating finally required CPU instructions, whereby sequence programs can be developed in an environment where there is no computer for sequence program development. The use of such tables and programs permits function change and function addition to be made to the stored conversion tables using an accessory CRT/keyboard so that specifications can be changed as required.
