Abstract: A security system for replaceable components of a electrostatographic reproducing machine. The replaceable component is provided with a memory source (150) having a plurality of addressed floating memory locations (152,154,156,160,162). Periodically, one of the floating memory locations is randomly selected as a security location and a security code is written in the security location. The security code and the address of the security location in the machine memory device is stored in the machine's memory (134). Periodically, the code in the floating memory location at the address stored in the machine memory device is compared with the security code in the machine memory device (S4). If the two codes are not the same, then an alert code is written into each of the addressed memory locations (S9). If the two codes are the same, then the machine is placed in a stand by mode ready to make prints (S8).

Abstract: A method for forming a thin film, electrically blowable fuse (22) with reproducible
blowing wattage using a sacrificial metal patch (40) over a fuse dielectric layer (30) and two
etch processes; wherein the first etch process is selective to the metal patch (40) and
the second etch process is selective to the fuse dielectric layer (30). A fuse element (22),
having an element width, is formed over a semiconductor structure, and a fuse
dielectric layer (30) is formed over the fuse element. A sacrificial metal patch (40) is formed
on the fuse dielectric layer; wherein the patch width being greater than the fuse
element width. A second dielectric layer (50) is formed on the sacrificial metal patch,
and additional metal layers and dielectric layers may be formed over the second
dielectric layer, but only the dielectric layers will remain over the fuse element.
The second dielectric layer (50) and any overlying dielectric layers are patterned to
form a fuse window opening (55), having a width greater than the sacrificial metal
patch (40), using a first fuse window etch selective to the sacrificial metal patch. Then,
the sacrificial metal patch (40) is etched through the fuse window opening using a
second fuse window etch selective to the fuse dielectric layer, leaving a
reproducible thickness of the fuse dielectric layer (30) overlying the fuse element (22);
thereby providing a reproducible blowing wattage.

Abstract: The machine for making textile mesh products from fibres and/or filaments circulating in the form of a web has a series of identical spaced looping discs, set on a common transverse shaft alternating with looping elements such as fingers with meshing needle extensions that receive a crimped pseudo-filament of a certain length made from accumulated fibres/filaments. The looping discs have edges with regularly-spaced teeth with the distance between any two adjacent teeth at least three times the height of the teeth. The machine also has a series of controlled shutters between the discs, while the latter rotate at a speed synchronised with the movement of the meshing needles. During operation the machine subjects fibres/filaments to transverse looping accompanied by stretching produced by interpenetration of the looping discs, and transferring the crimped pseudo-filaments in sequence to the meshing needles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control device for positive displacement pumps, consisting of a throttle device (20) and a flow control valve (18). The flow control valve (18)  is provided with a flow control piston (21) and regulates an unrequired excess flow to the pump at an increased speed.  The throttle device (20) produces a speed-related pressure differential in a bore section (17A), said pressure differential being responsible for the displacement of the flow control valve (18) and the throttle device (20). The throttle device (20) is placed in the pressure outlet (bore section 17A) of the pump and contains a regulating pin (27) which is connected to the flow control piston (21), having a control contour which is embodied in such a way that a modifiable through cross-section is created in association with a throttle bore (28). The control pin (27) has a wider section (34) in an axial displacement area of the throttle device (20), said area not being involved in control of the volume flow, whereby a minimum obturating section arises in the displacement area. This results in accelerated movement of the flow control piston (21), which in turn results in quicker reaction of the control mechanism, thereby preventing an overshoot and overincrease in the flow capacity.

Abstract: A transistor has a source electrode and a drain electrode formed with a predetermined
interval secured in between on a semiconductor layer formed to perspectively overlap a gate
electrode. The source and drain electrodes are each longer in their lengthwise direction than
in their widthwise direction. The source electrode has a recessed portion formed therein to
allow the tip portion of the drain electrode in. The semiconductor layer protrudes out of the
gate electrode to form a portion that does not overlap the gate electrode but overlaps the
source electrode and a portion that does not overlap the gate electrode but overlaps the drain
electrode. Thus, the protruding portion that overlaps the source electrode and the protruding
portion that overlaps the drain electrode are separated from each other by the gate electrode so
as to be independent of each other. This prevents short-circuiting between the source and
drain that results when the portions of the semiconductor islands protruding out of the gate
electrode become conductive through a photoelectric effect brought about by the light that
travels past the gate electrode or by another cause.
