Abstract: A quiescent current brake on the non-drive end of electric motors, consisting of a coil housing connected to the motor frame, into which a magnetic coil is inserted, a brake disc which rotates with the motor shaft, and an armature plate, which can move longitudinally between the magnetic coil and the brake disc, is supported against rotation and is supported during braking by spring force via a friction disc located between it and the brake disc, is intended to be designed such that signals can be derived both for the state when the brake is ventilated correctly as well as for the states when the maximum permissible air gap thickness is reached or the friction disk is worn down. To this end, it is provided according to the invention that the armature plate is electrically insulated with respect to the coil housing when the magnetic coil is not energised and the brake is operating correctly, is electrically conductively connected to the magnetic coil when the latter is being energised, and that the armature plate is electrically conductively connected to a point in space which is electrically insulated with respect to the coil housing and is decoupled from the armature plate movement. The brake is further designed such that, when a maximum air gap thickness is reached, or when the friction disk is worn down, the armature plate and the coil housing are electrically conductively connected. In order to evaluate the signals, the switching state of the magnetic coil and the magnitude of the electrical resistance between the armature plate and the coil housing are provided. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an automatic gain control device which is connected to an output circuit (21, 22) supplied with a gain controlled signal to produce a timing signal in a receiver of a direct conversion type and which includes an amplifier (23, 24) for amplifying a received baseband signal into an amplified signal with a controllable gain, a d.c. blocking circuit (25, 26) for producing a variable level signal with the amplified signal exempted from a d.c. component, and a level detector (27, 28) for producing a level value signal by detecting level values of the variable level signal, a timing controller (31) is supplied with the timing signal to produce a first control signal in each of predetermined time slots in which a receiver input signal comprises bursts representative of an information signal. A second control signal is produced in an interval between two consecutive ones of the predetermined time slots. Controlled by the first control signal, a sample holding circuit (35, 36) supplies the level value signal to the amplifier to control the gain. Controlled by the second control signal, a clamping switch (33, 34) produces the gain controlled signal by removing a d.c. offset from the variable level signal. The receiver input signal may be orthogonally modulated.

Abstract: Disclosed is an optical head of small size and light weight flying to float relative to a signal record­ing and reproducing surface (18) of an optical disk (1), thereby recording and reproducing an information signal on and from the signal recording and reproducing surface (18) of the optical disk (1) with a high density by focusing a laser beam by using an objective lens (21, 31) having a large numerical aperture NA. Disclosed also is an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus using the optical head for information signal recording and reproduction. The optical head comprises a fixed optical part (2) includ­ing a laser beam source (6), a collimation lens (7), a reflected beam splitter (8) and a photo detector (11), a moving optical part (19) including a beam reflector (20), an objective lens (21, 31) and a slider (22) mounting the beam reflector (20) and the objective lens (21) thereon and flying to float the objective lens relative to a signal recording and reproducing surface (18) of an optical disk (1), and an actuating element (23, 32, 28, 35) mounted on either the objective lens (21, 31) or the collimation lens (7), or an actuating element (26) for driving a flexure (24) connecting the slider (22) to a linear motor (25), or a lens part   (40) for changing the position of the beam emission point of the laser beam source (6). The slider (22) mounting the objective lens (21, 31) thereon flies to float the objective lens (21, 31) relative to the signal recording and reproducing surface (18) of the optical disk (1) through a gaseous layer, and fluctuation of the flying height of the slider (22) is limited to a value smaller than about several um substantially independently of vertical runout of the signal recording and reproducing surface (18) of the optical disk (1), so that the movable distance of the objective lens (21, 31) required for the focus control can be mimized. Therefore, the laser beam can be focused into a diffraction-limited beam spot by using the objective lens (21, 31) having a large numerical aperture NA, so that the optical head of the small size and light weight can detect a substantially offsetless servo error signal. Thus, a large-capacity memory device having a stacked structure permitting high-speed track access can be provided.

Abstract: An interrupt controller comprises a circuit for holding priority information obtained by designating one priority selected from a plurality of priorities for each of a plurality of interrupt requests, and a flag for indicating whether or not a nesting is allowed for an interrupt request having at least one predetermined priority of the plurality of priorities. On the basis of the priority information held in the circuit and information held in the flag, a controller operates so that when an interrupt request is generated in the course of execution of an interrupt processing having the predetermined priority, if the flag is in a first condition, the controller acknowledges the generated interrupt request only when the priority of the generated interrupt request is higher than the predetermined priority, and if the flag is in a second condition, the controller acknowledges the generated interrupt request not only when the priority of the generated interrupt request is higher than the predetermined priority, but also when the priority of the generated interrupt request is the same as the predetermined priority.

Abstract: This is a friction welding method for joining a rim and a disc of a disc wheel and apparatus therefore wherein an outside material or a rim and an inside material or a disc, each of which is a component of a disc wheel, are joined together. 
     This friction welding apparatus comprises, typically, a mechanism for fixing firmly the circumference of one material almost entirely circumferentially, a mechanism for rotating another material, a mechanism for generating frictional heat between the two materials, with the inside material fitted into the outside material, by pressurizing the rotated material to the fixed material. 
     This method employs a lap joint process instead of a butt joint process. Either or both of the materials can be provided with a projection on the circumference. A projection absorbs the turning force, inertia force and braking force produced at the time of joining operation to prevent the above forces from being concentrated on a local portion of the materials in process. This prevents the finished products from deformation.

Abstract: A resonance voltage is generated by the inductance and capacitance of a cable (30) connecting the output voltage of a power source (10) to a load, such as a motor. As the cable length is increased, the impact of the cable (30) inductance and capacitance on the output voltage is increased. The increased cable length may result in oscillation or resonance of the output voltage becoming twice the voltage of the power source (10), leading to a premature deterioration of the connected load (40). In the invention, a circuit (60) is provided to suppress the resonance voltage by clamping a crest of the voltage to approximately the value of the voltage of the power source (10).
