Abstract: In a method of measuring a quantity of heat, the distance between the position of an end of an exposed fiber portion (11-14) before heating and the position of the end after heating is measured, and the quantity of heat applied to the end of the exposed fiber portion is calculated based on the distance. When heat is applied to an end of an exposed fiber portion, the end is fused and is rounded due to surface tension. For this reason, the position of the end of the exposed fiber portion retracts from the position it occupied before heating by the volume required for rounding the end. This retraction amount corresponds to a quantity of heat applied to the end of the exposed fiber portion. There­fore, by measuring the retraction amount, the quantity of heat applied to the ends of the exposed fiber portion can be quantitatively measured.

Abstract: In the protecting position, two vertical, operator-side protecting doors (12; 12') of the protecting cover screen off the regions of the mould (36) and of the plasticising cylinder (45) of the plastic-injection-moulding machine. At the same time, they are adjacent to a stationary bearer column (13) and can be moved in the opposite direction out of their protective position, in which they cover over the stationary protected area (15). Over the protecing doors (12; 12') there extends a horizontal profiled rail (19), supported on bearer columns (14). The guides for the protecting doors (12; 12'), guided in the region of their upper horizontal longitudinal edges, are arranged on this profiled rail (19). This provides favourable conditions for cost-effective mass production of the protecting cover. In addition, allowance can be made for covering requirements varying to a greater extent, arising due to different degrees of automation and/or different types of set-up of the plastic-injection-moulding machines. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating the braking system of a vehicle (not shown) in which the system is automatically actuated by an impact on the vehicle's bumper 22. The impact generates a pneumatic detector signal which opens valve 100 and causes the simultaneous closing of line 20 from the brake pedals 70a, 70b, and opening of line 76 by means of the shuttle valve 74. This causes the operation of the brake system 71. The brake system 71 is released by actuation of valve 88 releasing the pressure on shuttle valve 96 which returns the shuttle valve 74 back to its normal position. The system can then be disarmed when the vehicle 10 is in forward motion, exceeding a pre-determined speed, by the closing of solenoid valve 200. Once the vehicle slows down or reverses direction the valve 200 is opened rearming the system in case of a further impact on the bumper 22.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory such as a memory management unit (1) has an address transformation buffer (5) and an address transformation control circuit (6). A tag memory (11) stores tags which are allotted to the corresponding entries. The memory makes use of virtual storage methods, and it is proposed that the memory management unit (1) is capable of judging that a specific bit has been partially rewritten by checking it against a dummy bit stored in the tag memory (11) and thus correcting a parity bit. Accordingly, it is possible accurately to execute a parity check operation and it is also possible to improve the throughput of the memory management unit and hence promote lowering in the cost.

Abstract: A method of creating a decision tree to enable a character recognition device to recognise characters in a new unknown font includes scanning a document printed in the unknown font to generate an array of pixels, with each pixel having a neighbourhood state based on the colours of the surrounding pixels. A plurality of clusters of pixels, each representing a printed character, are identified. A pixel in one cluster is selected, and its neighbourhood state determined. The neighbourhood state is used to address a memory that has stored in it a probability table providing the probability, in a second font different from the new font being taught, that a pixel is black as a function of its neighbourhood state. The stored probability of black associated with the neighbourhood state of the select pixel is read from the memory and assigned as the probability of the selected pixel. The decision tree for the new font is generated using that assigned probability of black.

Abstract: To prevent unauthorized duplication or alteration of an information storage cards (1) such as magnetic cards, IC cards, and optical cards, the card carries an identification region (4) which may be identified by a simple optical sensor (7). The identification region may consist of holograph, diffraction grating, a multiplicity of parallel grooves and other processed surfaces having certain reflective directivities. Identification of the card can be easily carried out by placing one or more optical sensors at locations where a reflected light beam is or reflected light beams are expected to impinge upon. For more sophisticated purposes, the identification region may consist of a plurality of parts which may be used as a kind of combination lock to more effectively discourage unauthorized duplication of the identification region. To prevent illegal reuse of such a card by rewriting its information contents, a card reader/writer for accessing such information may be provided with a punching unit or other equipment for destroying the identification region.
