Abstract: A thermometer for measuring the core temperature of a body by measuring infrared radiation emitted by the tympanic membrane of the ear. The thermometer includes a fiber optic fiber bundle assembly which is inserted into the ear canal to a location adjacent to the tympanic membrane. Infrared radiation is conveyed to a thermopile which converts the radiation to an electrical signal. To assure an accurate signal in changing ambient temperature conditions, circuitry is provided which measures the thermopile resistance (heat) just prior and/or just subsequent to taking a temperature reading and nulling this signal. A disposable sheath is provided to cover the end of the fiber optic assembly inserted into the ear canal to prevent cross contamination between patients. The sheath includes an infrared radiation transparent window over the end of the fiber optic so that there are no openings in the sheath within the ear. Electronic circuitry is provided to measure and display input voltage characteristics, compensate for room temperature variations, fiber optic transmission variations and thermopile cold junction temperature variations, and display an accurate measured temperature. The temperature measured is displayed within about one second of initiation of temperature measurement.

Abstract: A slider unit having a reading/reproducing head (4), for use floating over the surface of an information recording disk, has a slider body having a flying height sensor (15), float surfaces on the underside thereof to generate a lift force, and a device (40) for controllably adjusting the lift force generated at the undersurface. Device (40) may be for example a piezoelectrically or electrostatically controllable valve layer positioned over a vent communicating between the upper surface of the slider and opening into a recess (21) for generating a negative lift component at the underside of the slider. The slider body is made from a ceramics base portion (3) and a semiconductive insert portion (20) e.g. of silicon or photosensitive glass, on which the adjustment device (40) can be formed using microfabrication techniques such as deposition and etching. A step (22) for forming a negative pressure generating recess (21) may also be etched in the semiconductive insert (20). By using these techniques, mass-production of the slider units is facilitated.

Abstract: A portable cellular telephone (1) capable of recognizing a Calling Line Identification (CLI) signal. The telephone comprises a memory (100) in which can be stored telephone numbers together with an associated operating instruction. For example the instruction may be for the telephone to respond with a "BUSY LINE" signal. When a call is received which includes a CLI signal the memory (100) is searched to find a number corresponding to the CLI. If a match is found the normal operating sequence is interrupted to carry out the associated instruction. Hence the telephone can respond with a "BUSY LINE" signal for calls originating from selected telephone numbers, providing a call screening facility.

Abstract: 2.1 In the case of known storage devices, the recording medium is transported by a slide, which can be displaced by means of spring force, into a removal position on the front side of the storage device, the slide being extended with the recording medium placed on it out of the housing to such an extent that the recording medium can be grasped. After removal of the recording medium, the slide is pushed back again to avoid projecting parts. 2.2 In order to be able to dispense with pushing back the slide after removal of the recording carrier, the storage device is equipped with a locking mechanism which, in the storage position, engages in the housing of the recording medium. Furthermore, even in the removal position, the entire slide is in a withdrawn location in the storage device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image blur prevention system includes a blur detecting circuit for detecting the blurring of an image and outputting a blurring signal corresponding thereto. A determination circuit is also provided in the system for determining, in response to the blurring signal output by the blur detecting circuit, that the image plane is moving because signals from the blurring detecting means do not become zero displacement signals for the predetermined amount of time except in the case of image plane movement, such as panning, thus increasing the responsiveness of the image plane movement operation. The determination means determines, that the movement of the image plane is terminated when the blur displacement of the image intersects a central point of the image blur for a predetermined number of times. The image blur prevention apparatus is thus capable of automatically and reliably shifting from the image plane movement operation to the normal blur correction operation.

Abstract: An on-the-fly error correction method for correcting a data block within a stream of substantially contiguous data blocks during a data decoding process, each block having error syndrome information calculated and appended in accordance with a predetermined Reed Solomon code during an encoding process occurring before the data decoding process, comprising the steps of: 
   passing the block of data through a syndrome information recovery circuit to obtain recovered information related to the error syndrome information, 
   comparing the recovered information with zero to determine if an error burst is present within the data block, and 
   if an error burst is determined to be present: 
   latching the recovered information into a remainder latch in order to free the syndrome information recovery circuit for the next data block of the stream, 
   causing a microcontroller to call and execute an error correction service routine and thereupon: 
   selectively transferring bytes of the recovered information from the remainder latch to the microcontroller, 
   determining with the microcontroller the location and a corrected value for the error burst in accordance with a predetermined Reed Solomon error correction algorithm implemented within the microcontroller by the service routine, and 
   substituting the corrected value for the error burst within the block detected to contain the error burst before it is delivered to a host system. Cross checking the correction, and error detection of data block ID fields is also disclosed.
